Good article. The guy seems to be willing to address the obvious fact of black-white inequality. It has long been irritating to me that this subject can't be discussed.

In a free society, and in conservative circles in specific, people are evaluated and treated as individuals. (Unlike the practice of liberals.) It is entirely possible that the best mathematician who will ever live will be black, even if blacks in general are inferior to whites and orientals in that field. Conservatives will nurture, respect, and honor such an individual for his achievement, liberals will malign him for acting white. The whole point is that in a just society, individuals will be treated as individuals, not as members of a group. Thus, it makes no difference what the general ability level of their group is.

Bill Walton, during the 45 seconds that he was healthy, was arguably the best and most dominating basketball player of all time in spite of the fact that blacks in general achieve greater success than whites in that sport. Meritocracy should be the rule in all of society, not just sports.

Racial and sexual groups will never be equal. The sooner that we accept that fact and file it as unimportant, the better.
