…no wait. [Yes, he is](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Jensen). And only 20 days after [Philippe Rushton](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=667852) went to the big “whites only club” in the sky.

Sorry for bumping this thread, I just wanted to add that I’m sure the current director of the Pioneer fund [Robert Travis Osborne](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Travis_Osborne) will be the next to go. He’s 99 years old! This is a man who was **testifying in courts against desegregation** …[**when he was friggin 50**](http://books.google.ca/books?id=L0cSfmwRrpQC&pg=PA130&dq=%22Travis+Osborne%22+brown&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pGiSUOSZItCP0QHz_IGABw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Travis%20Osborne%22%20brown&f=false)! That’s like **double** my age! De-freaking-segregation. Christ. It’s difficult to fully understand how much these racialists are like time portals. Breathing fossils.

I’m reminded of Strom Thurmond who was alive and kicking until recently. In the early 2000s I was amazed that a living and serving U.S. Senator had run for President on a segregationist platform – in **1948**!
