Wikipedia Article Promotes Racial Inferiority of Non Whites

Just when you thought you could turn your head and look away from the stupidity, neo-Nazi and white supremacist attitudes and beliefs again rear their ugly heads — this time on Wikipedia. If you go to Wikipedia, do me a favor and search for race and Intelligence and you will see what I mean. The article you find there will be up at least until September 1, 2010.

The article attempts to apply a rational justification — albeit non-empirically or scientifically based — that blacks are genetically inferior to whites in general and especially with respect to intelligence. It incorporates the findings that recently manifested when The Journal of Psychology, Public Policy and Law, published an article by J.P. Rushton and A.R. Jensen called “Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in Cognitive Ability and the recent book by Ricard Nisbett, Intelligence and How to Get It: Why Schools and Cultures Count.

These individuals, in concert with the classic premise of racial inferiority as postulated by Freud, Jung, Sir Francis Galton and others, postulate the heritability of intelligence as a perceived genetic disposition is greatest among white populations. Moreover, it asserts that as a function, test scores, specifically IQ differences are a function of genetic inheritability as well. The article, which claims to be sound research, even states that “Brain size is correlated to IQ and blacks have smaller brains than whites.” This has never been scientifically documented from an anatomical or physiological locution.

In the past I have informed many that Google and Wikipedia are not references and should not be used as such. In fact they actually may do more harm than good, seeing they allowed a single man to propose a feculent theory regarding the genetic impact of race on intelligence when science indicates that race is fictitious and completely man-made.

As a scientist in the field of behavior, I attempted to correct and argue the factual historical and scientific authenticity and negate the fallacious assertions presented in this article, but I cannot edit it since it is being disputed for its factual accuracy and incessant systemic bias presented. We should all read this, even if it just to show you what Africans in the world are up against, or how little you actually know.

How Obama’s Election Drove the GOP Insane

It is not hard to find hard-core criticism floating through the air like pollen regarding our nation’s first African American president. Some of which is deserved, most of which is not and is simply, colloquially speaking, hating. The overwhelming corpus of which comes from Republicans on the far and middle right.

This is more than obvious — so obvious, in fact, that many on the right have manifested behaviors reflective of the tenets espoused by Freud when he discussed defense mechanisms.

From extreme projection (in which a person lacks consciousness of their own thoughts and ascribes those unconscious thoughts to others), to denial (refusal to accept external reality because it is too threatening), everything this segment of the political spectrum says is targeted towards Obama. Now some would say it is politics as usual, but I disagree with that assertion.

Recently, right-wing radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham stated that first lady Michelle Obama's Whitehouse garden was a "left-wing plot."

Glenn Beck, in a similar vein, speaking about the outfit the first lady wore to her visit to the Gulf, described it as an "outrage."

It is difficult to empirically understand such comments since they have nothing to do with the real political issues at hand. It can simply be reduced to behavioral neuroses that are rooted in America's steep tradition of racial vilification, which traditionally manifests in personal attacks and demonization.

The reality is that the GOP is out of ideas, and rather than thinking about solving the nation's problems, would rather stoke over-the-top paranoia, which if history is any indication, often results in violence. Just ask anyone who had dogs released on them, water from a fire hose sprayed on them, or anyone with a family member hung from a tree or dragged from a truck.

Insanity is a serious and debilitating condition that disrupts one's capacity to function within the legal limits of society, which results in both a deranged mind and (too) many times, a tragic outcome.
