One of the strangest ironies is that while I have decided to out racists on the net, there's been a highly suspect candidate right here under my nose. And now I have finally had my fill of Chance Kelsey.
Of Chance, who forthrightly asked for an honest assessment I said a few months back:
I find Chance to be a highly motivated individual whose pursuit of questions of race have taken him all over the map. Right now I think he has bought into some crackpot ideas about essentialism, that he is a genetic racialist. I don't think he is either an extrinsic or intrinsic racist - that he particularly attributes moral value to genetic race or believes that governments should assign classes of citizenship to genetic races, but that he holds out for further scientific evidence validating genetic race.
I'm not sure if he recognizes the corrosiveness of genetic racial theory to the principles of individualism, modernity and democratic institutions. I hope he comes to recognize, even in the face of further scientific evidence of genetic race, why it is much more important to maintain the non-racial standard of civil equality. I can only recommend what I believe to be the classic treatise on such matters, which is Huxley's Brave New World which examines the threat to liberty inherent in a scientifically validated genetic class system.
I find Chance's writing style to be a bit awkward and confusing at times, but I have always found him to be civil, open, honest and particularly personable, not only with me but with others on the web. I prefer a more formal debating style in all my online interactions because I write not only for my own benefit but for that of posterity, so Chance is one of several people who annoy me by defeating that purpose, but I bear no personal animosity towards him. (I guess I exemplify this by writing about him rather than to him, as I am doing now.) Still, as he represents a point of view (racial essentialism) which is an important theory in debates about race, there is no question in my mind that his presence in such debates raises their overall level.
But now I've lost patience with his commentary and his essentialist ideas all over my website, and I have decided with to ban him. I am further convinced that he's not raising the level of debate here at Cobb. It was this comment of his which has finally pushed me over the edge.
I agree and many of are once agin black and on skid often means on drugs, blacks have smaller brains than whites and the sutres on a black brain close and whites remain open which helps in the potential development of more intelligence. So blacks should not be doing drugs and drinking alchol for these reasons alone.
The cranial sutures are more simple than in the white type and close together earlier. So blacks need to stay away from drugs all racial groups do but blacks we get it bad and with smaller brains the decay show fast in blacks so blacks leavce the drugs and alchohol alone.
I cannot, in good conscience let such racialist tripe go unchallenged, but I also do not have the patience to explain how wrong it is. So I'm taking an easy and irreversible decision. Chance is out. His ideas are poison, and I don't want them published here. You may find him elsewhere on your own time.
