Mr. White

The past is often full of pleasant surprises. I just happened across an old section of my website (Boohab's Factotum) and in it was a search string for Google that pointed to the writings of the best ally I ever had as an anti-racist online.

James A. White (if that was his real name) was a German geneticist associated with the Human Genome Project working in New York. If you ever needed anybody on your side to completely thrash the ambitions of American Neo-Nazis, you couldn't design somebody better than Mr. White. All of the hard racial subjects, IQ, heritability, The Bell Curve.. White handled them with aplomb, authority and attitude. I tended to handle such matters with flavor, facts and ferocity; it was a great balance.

Anyway, here is the link. Here is an example of one of his exchanges with legendary internet white supremacist troll Matt Nuenke.

Nuenke:
When someone can show that you can take blacks and give them an enriched environment and they will be able to learn and function normally into adulthood then the genetic basis of IQ may begin to be in doubt. Until then, the stupid race hypothesis is the most credible and consistent. Whether one is a left winger or a right winger, good science does not care. Facts is facts.

White:
What do you do about the "white" groups who do no better than blacks on
standardized tests? There are obviously many who score no better, in order
for the white average to be 100. Where are these facts you refer to found?
In TBC? Those so called facts are very tainted. The Minnesota Twins
Studies? Again these studies are about as scientific as "The Legend of the
Seven Cities of Cibola". You continue to look only at tainted studies and
evidence, why not look at the studies and data which would tend to indicate
otherwise? In the meantime you are willing to continue the needless
sacrifice of the lives of millions of people on the altar of a theory of
racial superiority. The US went through this same thing once before in its
history. Also before the turn of the century in England there was a theory
of Social Darwinism which prevailed for a time which essentially said the
same thing about the English working class. Your attitude is the very
reason American society keeps going around in the same loops and never
solving the problem. Politicians get elected in the US by "playing the
race card", alternating between calling they inferior and calling them
saints. The temptation is too great and as long as that exists blacks in
the USA will always be pawns in a game.
