Fury at DNA pioneer's theory:
Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

Celebrated scientist attacked for race comments: "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"

One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups was a delusion.

James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.

The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when "testing" suggested the contrary. He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.

The newly formed Equality and Human Rights Commission, successor to the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was studying Dr Watson's remarks " in full". Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true".

His views are also reflected in a book published next week, in which he writes: "There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."

HARDY HAR HAR!! What a dumbass. I mean -- even if it's true, you don't say shit like this. It's against the religion of political correctness -- and if you think Muslim extremists are bad -- wait until you run afoul of Jesse Jackasson and Al notso-Sharpton.

It is clearly better to ignore the truth (if it is the truth) -- it worked out so well for the flat-earth crowd. Perhaps this guy never heard of Galileo or Copernicus. In cases like this (and there are many others) I find it's better to just pipe down and not stir up the cave men around the fire.

Copernicus suggested that the sun was stationary, and that the Earth and other planets revolved around it. This was thought to be heresy, and against everything that the bible said, so when Galileo verified Copernicus's theory, he found himself in trouble with the church authorities.

The Catholic Church had set up a committee of men who decided what was for and what was against the teachings in the bible. They had decided that the Copernican theory was against the bible and therefore heresy. It was suggested to Galileo that providing he treated his idea of the sun at the centre of the solar system as a theory, everything would be all right, but Galileo published his discovery in a book, and was immediately arrested.He was too famous to be thrown in jail, so instead he was given 'house arrest', however, this was to be for the remainder of his life.

Yes -- better to STFU than go against the church of political correctness, for it cannot be questioned -- lest ye lose your livelihood.
