What's racist about what Jordan is saying? He's just explaining that the behavioural differences of blacks is caused by genetic and physiological differences. Just like it is for every race, since they are all different in some way. Blacks are obviously are superior in a lot of athletic disciplines, it's always blacks who are the champion sprinters, yet they are never the champion chess masters.
People just have serious confirmation bias. They might be ok with saying blacks are better at athletics, but intelligence is off limits. People have serious confirmation bias, and they want to believe in the blank slate theory even though it doesn't hold up under logical scrutiny.
If you want to disprove the evidence you have to do more than ridicule it, you have to actually provide counter evidence.

Then how do you explain whites in low sociology-economic levels outscoring blacks in school tests who are from high socio-economic levels?Railey2 wrote:
