“There is no way to argue effectively against those who call for drastic measures to equalize group outcomes unless you can say that those outcomes reflect natural differences.”
The absolute truth!
It’s called race realism. It’s the acceptance of the obvious fact that that there are significant differences in group AVERAGE of certain abilities.
Probably the most inportant difference when it comes to success in life is the difference in average IQ among the races, with the most striking difference being that between blacks and other races. And most of the difference is due to genetics.
It’s an unfortunate reality, but a reality nonetheless, and sweeping it under the rug as we’ve been doing for decades has only made the problem worse.
And it will continue to get worse until that reality is acknowledged.
But accepting that reality, brings a whole set of new problems. Overt discrimination will then be acceptable like it was 100 years ago. Which means you end up with a very visible group of second class citizens having the most menial jobs. Which is how we got here.
Lincoln had the solution to this when he freed the slave. He wanted to relocate them all to a sparsely populate Central American country. He very clearly understood that because of the significant difference in average mental abilities, the two races would never be able to peacefully coexist. And he’s been proven right. Regrettably he chickened out at the last moment... and that’s why we find ourselves where we are.
He would have been a truly great president had he followed through with his plan. And it would have benefitted both races. Each would have been able to determine their own destinies without interference from the other.
Racial separation is still the right answer to our race problem. But how to do it is the 64k question.
Except such a plan was tried - at Île à Vache - and that pilot project failed.
Lincoln would have no legal right to force freed slaves to leave the US, and as Frederick Douglass and others communicated to Lincoln such a plan to voluntarily leave was not well received by black slaves. The majority had been born in the US and several generations had passed since their forebears had been forcibly brought to the US.
