Guess what, from a PR perspective, none of this exegesis matters in the least. It doesn’t matter what is true, and he didn’t mean it this way, etc. What matters is that just like in the Victorian era, when one didn’t say.the word ”pregnant” were not used, in our society we can’t talk openly about racial genetics and interiority. Period. So if you want to talk about it, you had better make that topic your career, because you wilk have impaired your credibility to discuss anything else. Period. The writer and the HF should have realized that his previous paper on racial intellectual inequality would be used as a weapon to destroy not only his new study on immigration, but to smear the HF and discredit the entire conservative movement. So I say to them: badly, stupidly, carelessly played to not have seen that coming.

The essential point that you have missed, is that what has become politically incorrect to openly discuss, are precisely the subjects for which the Left has no reasoned argument to support its policy promotions over the past 60 years. What you suggest we effectively shut up about, is not ideologically or philosophically different than discussing whether people who succeed can only do so by abusing or exploiting those who--at least relatively--fail.

If we allow the Left by studied attacks on those, who raise legitimate points, to stifle all discussion on subjects where they are vulnerable, we simply surrender the future. No one can afford to play their game--and one of the major reasons that we have been losing, is that far too many have done so..

So much for that “national conversation about race” that Eric Holder claimed America is too cowardly to have. We all know this conversation will be a one way street and a lecture from psycho-babbling lefties
