I don’t mean to imply in the least that poor achievement in African descendants is attributable to “racism”.

However, there are many of African ancestry who have higher abilities than you or I, particularly athletic and musical abilities.

It’s time to celebrate our differences, not try to eradicate them, while recognizing our common humanity.

Hey, if I remember correctly, “valuing differences” was a Liberal idea. Whatever happened to that?

I've worked with people of all races who happen to be smarter than me, as well as people of all races who were complete idiots. I think Thomas Sowell is a much smarter man than anybody in this discussion.

That said, it's hard to argue against the existence of STATISTICAL differences that don't seem to go away no matter how much money you throw at the issue.
