The other thing would be that without a government-backed monopoly, David Duke would do about as well in the media as NDD is doing in this thread. If your views are stupid, putting them out in the open marketplace of ideas doesn’t do them any favors.
No, wrong, bad, untrue.
The Khazars are not and never were part of the Jewish population group. Whichever idiot you read who told you that, don’t read them anymore. I’ve also never heard of any credible evidence that there was substantial intermixing between Jewish and Baltic people, but if you got that info from the same source that claimed there’s some sort of genetic connection between Jews and Khazars, you’d do better to ignore it flatly.
You’re making the assumption that disproving them has value. It doesn’t, because the only people who buy what they are selling are racist themselves. As you pointed out, the one thing that keeps David Duke from influence is people absolutely refusing to deal with him. That’s what a banning is. It’s our board boycotting their hateful speech.
Though, personally, I’d rather just have them banned from posting about those certain topics. In fact, I’d just ban the topic itself unless you can provide a citation ahead of time to a mod that hasn’t been discredited that really could seem to mean there are genetic differences in intelligence in people who self-identify as different races.
Good luck with that.
Oh, no. I make one little mistake and now everyone has to jump on me for it. :rolleyes?:
;)
Thing is, there are a lot of things it doesn’t take very much intelligence to conclude…that are false.
And please do answer NDD’s question about the Egalitarian Hypothesis. I want to see if you know what it means. A quick Google showed that most people espousing your views have the wrong idea.
Finally, you’d do well to actually contradict NDD on what you don’t agree with if you don’t want people to assume you do agree. You are defending him, after all. And he’s saying far more than just that there might be a very slight genetic intelligence difference between races.
You and me both, sister. But it’s OK. They can all just get orf our lawns !
Jews are a race, now?
I have to stick up for NDD, here. It has long been held, going back to at least 4000 B.C.E., that the Negro Race have had a substantial affinity for grape flavored soda pop.
If you’re so white and smart, how can you possibly be so stupid, you dickhole.
Chief Pedant, IIRC.
magellen01 and Rand Rover have dipped their toes into things in defence of race realists’ background ideas, but I think with them it’s more about defending conservative fellow travellers than scientific racism, per se. I certainly wouldn’t call them “persistent” on the issue. Although Rand has started threads attacking the very notion that race is a social construct, so must feel pretty strongly on the issue.
I have defined it as “the claim that genetic predisposition for intelligence and other important psychological traits is distributed equally among all racial and ethnic groups.”
The Ashkenazim have an average IQ of 112.
I doubt that there are many people who really believe that, but there are many who go not like to be reminded that it is not true.
Charles Murray, whom I do agree with, has a vast following.
Well, I took the little science quiz, got all of them right except for:
- One question I honesty didn’t know.
- One question I think is ambiguous (actually, several are ambiguous, but this is the only one I got “wrong”).
- and one question I’m confident the article’s author got wrong.
What is pseudoscientific about these cites?

I… I think you really need to learn what the word “ethnicity” means.
None of those is a cite about genetics…
Totally as an aside, I assume the content will be the usual drivel, I only dropped in because moving my mouse in the search results from New Posts I saw:
New Deal Democrat et. al, can you STFU? [mouseover]We get it. You’re racist.[/mouseover]
Pretty clever way to insult fellow Dopers right out in the open without the sense of impropriety. Sneaky.
The Ashkenazim are a racial group, or an ethnic group. Lets not get into a semantic argument. What matters is they are descended from the Israelites of the Old Testament, and that they have a very high average IQ. That is genetic. One does not get a higher IQ by converting to Judaism.
