Nobel Prize winner James Watson, who was one of the pioneers on DNA research and who runs one of America's leading research institutions, has set back racial relations with comments he made recently. Among other statements, he said, "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really."

Those comments have the colored people over at the national association for their advancement up in arms! What, did he not notice how publicly they buried the 'N-word' so that it would never be seen again? Does he not realize how much effort has been made by groups specifically set up for the purpose of making math tests less racially biased against black children?

Perhaps we should show him, and justly discount all his genetic research!

White supremacist groups should not regale his statement. His statement included the qualification of "all our social policies are based on the fact . . ." It is my belief, even as a white man, that white supremacists pose a greater threat to American society, and every other society in the world, than almost every other group combined. The reason I feel that way is because 'the white supremacists are more calculating' in how they accomplish their objectives. Also, it is because 'white people who believe white people are superior would dominate given the chance.' Historically, at least, it has worked that way.

If you agree, how can you be appalled at what James Watson said?

From my perspective, it seems that there may be a natural reason black people do not test as well in schools, but dominate in athletics: black people absorb sun power that reflects off white people. We know this because black is the absence of reflection (absorption) of light, and white is full reflection of light. We also know that solar power is the greatest of all natural powers.

Not so much today, but at points in history, this meant that black people could capture food that white people would have to trap or kill creatively. Certainly, there are exceptions to this generalization, but as 'sub-races' of the 'human race,' it seems to account for difficulty testing but excelling at athletics.

Individually, it does not matter what race we are. Individually, we are the summations of our decisions on opportunities within our environments, with no control over the time we live in. Any individual can study in a ghetto, if that is where he or she is, and any individual can steal
