You should have listened to Don Lemon tonight gushing over how good blacks have it. Last year he was reporting from Ferguson showing proof how blacks are, wait for it, shot and their towns go up in flames. Let Trump say that and all of a sudden blacks are doing great, live in upscale neighborhoods and send their kids to private schools.
So what? Are you mad?
Again, who makes up this "we" that you refer to as not knowing these things?
Interesting that you know so little about other groups in your own country.
Mr. Sailer doesn't seem to write about the science, he seems to focus on the politics.
I've probably read >90% of everything Sailer has ever written. You've read one article? Yes, he does write extensively about the science of race, among many other things, and if you are actually interested then... google and read. Or ask me any specific question on the topic and I could probably tell you his view (or my own).

I don't believe humanity advances through struggles in which groups claiming to be superior triumph over those they consider inferior, neither does Mr. Pinker.
Not sure exactly what you are talking about here... the ethics of colonialism... slavery... supremacist government? I certainly don't advocate any of those things but that seems a topic for a different thread.

Promoting a political agenda whether based on pseudoscience or willfull misunderstanding is an abuse of reason.
Agreed 100%. That is exactly what race realism seeks to avoid.
“Race science” was already in retreat in the 1930s, but despite dramatic changes in the cultural and scientific landscape, never entirely disappeared.
Notice how race science is put in quotes, as if a good faith effort to study and understand human population groups through the scientific method is not possible or does not really exist.

Studies of Black and White brain size are still published in academic journals.
Why shouldn't they be? Isn't it always better to know what is true? Why should any area of inquiry be off limits?
Good to know. Now write to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and every black congressman to stop complaining about black lives and how they remain impoverished and downtrodden. There is nothing wrong with downtown Baltimore, Detroit, Newark and other thriving Democrat cities. Amazing. Trump changed black lives in one speech.
I wondered why the ghetto blacks in big cities claim racism and want special treatment in America from police when they burn down cities considering there are lots of low class whites in the same boat: ignorant, unemployed, welfare families for generations.
If people don't graduate high school, have illegitimate kids, and get arrested numerous times they ain't employable. It isn't race holding them back. It is life choices.
Yes, it's amazing how quickly the spin can change... and kind of depressing that nobody posting here so far seems to understand the point you are making.
They were too busy trying to spin the spin back to the way it was previously spun. That's the liberal way.
