Green Friday, and Andrew Sullivan wants to bring back the Bell Curve.

Today is Green Friday in A-merry-ca. It is a day of crass commercialism designed by merchants and corporations to get gullible shoppers into stores. Prices have been marked up so that they can be slashed right back down with coupons and promises of price cuts in the stores.

Of course, as we all know by now, it's working. Pepper spray, shootings, bomb threats, and mobs at every box store door. I don't think that Jesus wanted us to prepare for his birthday quite like this. Professional shoppers (see Mrs. Field) have been preparing for this day for months. (15,000 at the Mall of America!) So for all of you amateurs out there, you shop at your own risk on days like these.

I tried to brave the "madding" crowd today. (Today. Not early this morning. Not last night. Today!) People watching was interesting, but I just couldn't take the crowds after awhile. I will get whatever gifts I have left online. It's a shame God didn't have two sons who were born months apart. Oh well, Cyber Monday is just a few days away.

Finally, I used to respect the writings of blogger Andrew Sullivan; he was one of the few conservative writers in A-merry-ca who I considered relevant. So imagine my shock when I read what Jason Johnson penned over at Politc365 about Sullivan's contribution to the Bell Curve debate. At first I thought that Johnson's take on what Sullivan wrote might have been misguided, but then I read Sullivan's post for myself and I....well, read it for yourself:

"Two points: research is not about helping people; it's about finding out stuff. And I have long opposed the political chilling of free inquiry into any area of legitimate curiosity or research. I'm not going to stop now. Secondly, I agree that there would be very little, if any, use for this data in our society, apart from the existence of affirmative action. But when public policy holds that all racial difference in, say, college degrees, are due to racism, a truth claim has already been made. So the p.c. egalitarians have made this a public and social issue by a statement of fact they subsequently do not want to see debated or challenged using the data. That's an illiberal position, in my view.

I remain gob-smacked by the resilience of IQ differences between broad racial groups, controlling for much other data. Maybe if we understood what was going on - which particular and subtle combination of genetics, culture and generation makes this the result - we could help increase equality of opportunity. Maybe racial categories themselves have become so fluid and opaque the whole area is now moot. Maybe we should accept that differences in outcomes among racial groups have some element of irreducibility to them. Maybe the answer is to abolish racial affirmative action and replace it by class-based forms. Maybe the answer is to abolish affirmative action altogether (my preferred outcome). But all these questions depend on a thriving research culture which has been chilled by politics. That's what saddens me." [Source]

Holy s^%*! Johnson was right! A big WTF? for my British friend.

I have more of an appreciation now of how Johnson ended his post:

"Because everyone’s work proves that their people are the smartest. In fact, even when Roland Fryer, a brilliant academic at Harvard showed what a farce IQ tests are, his work was largely ignored. Less than 4 years ago Dr. Fryer’s research showed that IQ levels, which are supposed to be immutable, are equal for African American and White children but differences only show up on tests once they’ve been in public schools for 2 years proving that the impact of racism and schooling is muting IQ scores more than actually assessing them.

Of course, his research was largely ignored by the press and pundit mags because it didn’t support the sexy self-aggrandizing narrative that people like Andrew Sullivan live by: Whites are smarter than Blacks, but it is their extreme benevolence that leads them to allow us to play house in the societies ‘they’ve’ created."

Not all of us Mr. Johnson. Some of us still choose "to play" in the fields.

    Andrew Sullivan is the typical racist white gay man. They are far more hateful and disdainful of Blacks than any other group of people.

    Living in the Bay Area, I have never experienced such racism any other part of the country, including the South.

    Tell me Field, why have you supported white gays who are clearly racists? Remember how they blamed Blacks for Prop8? And you are still surprised that Sullivan is a racist and feels superior to Blacks?

    It wasn't "ignored", it was rejected.

    Just as there has never been a 100-meter dash that shows all races to be equally fast, there has never been an IQ test that shows all races to be equally intelligent.

    East Asians and Jews have the highest IQ's, which explains why brain surgeons and nuclear physicists are disproportionately Asian and Jewish.

    Now, call me a racist, and then think of some way to blame whitey for Asian & Jewish IQ superiority.

  8. Field,

    I realize you made no reference to Sullivan's sexual orientation in your post. For me however, it cannot be ignored in reference to the revelations about Sullivan in Johnson's article. I am not saying that Sullivan's whiteness and his gayness are inextricably interconnected when it comes to his apparent racism. I am saying something slightly more subtle and nuanced. And, BTW, his conservatism is not really a factor here as I see it. There are many "progressive" and liberal openly gay white men who could make Bull Conner look like Malcolm X.

    I am a same gender loving man of African Descent. I have been out for 35 years. For every single one of those years I have been highly aware of rather extreme expressions of bigotry existing among what I perceive to be a fairly large cross section of openly gay white gay men. For years I attempted to believe I was imagining things. Finally the proof was so overwhelming, I simply could not ignore the preponderance of evidence any longer.

    However, for some reason, there is this belief, primarily among a seemingly large group of straight and white allies to the LGBT communities, that gay white men, on the whole, are really quite special human beings who are merely fun and campy or smart, savvy, artistic and poetic or some combination of any of those. There is a belief that white gay men cannot truly be racist, misogynist, transphobic and harbor all manner of other "isms" and "obias." Dan Savage, of course, burst that myth decades ago. But the myth persists.

    Field, because of my decades of experience with white gay men I must admit to having very patiently been waiting for Andrew Sullivan to reveal his (ahem) dark side for sometime now. I knew my wait would eventually end. There was never any doubt about it. Looks like finally my wait is over...

    Please read anon8:22pm, esp the first two paragraphs. Actually, after Dan Savage's remarkable condemnation of Blacks, it was just a matter of Sullivan to close ranks. There is no one left who is White and gay who does not feel superior to Blacks. Surely you have heard of this in the Bay Area?

    Maybe not. Blacks in SF and Oakland tend not to speak of it. Once again, it happens again to us. So what's new?

    Somehow I think the Universe is telling Blacks to unite or perish. But we are a stubborn lot.

  22. If another LGBT person of color chooses to rebut what I have said, I want to at least give them a little something of substance to rebut.

    In my view, white gay men especially white gay men who also have class privilege and above average social capitol (As both Sullivan and Savage have) find themselves in a very interesting quandary especially from my perspective of being a Jungian therapist for over 20 years, with a large segment of my clients being white gay men.

    White gay men (again, especially those with class privilege and social capitol) sometimes/often find that all the privilege they have (white, male, class, social) is difficult to reconcile with the one thing that often places them squarely in the category of "oppressed group" (i.e. their sexual orientation).

    For some, this disconnect creates either conscious or unconscious desires to lessen the blunt of that part of their being that is *not* privileged. In order to accomplish this some become Log Cabin Republicans. Others become overt or downlow bigots. Others do some combination of all of the above. Others still have absolutely no psychodynamic stuff going on within their psyches. They are just plain ole unabashed bigots (you can't pray away the gay and you also can't pray away the bigot) who happen to also be gay and when they come out, to their surprise (and delight) they find they are far from being alone...

  43. Once, when I was Battalion Sergeant of the Guard for a few months, I had a complete copy of the what was called the "Alpha Roster" that had all of the pertinent data on everyone in the unit anything you might want to know about someone, including education level, shooting, physical fitness and test scores, rough IQ, everything. I spent a lot of boring late-night hours digging out it's juicy details.

    The thing surprised me was how low my black colleges' IQ scores were compared to their reputation for competence. For instance, a black Gunnny Sgt. (E7) considered one of the best in the Battalion among his peers would be show in everything but IQ which would inevitably be so low that it was hard to even find comparable scores among whites above Corporal (E4). We're talking low 80s at the highest, when white staff NCOs with similar standing among their peers were usually in the 120s.

    I'm know that I'm talking about 2 different things, subjective judgments about reputation and supposedly objective measures, but you don't get an unearned reputation for competence in the Marine Corps among your peers. Among those under or above you, sure, but never your peers, they can't be fooled because they see your every f*ckup.

    I was therefore already pretty skeptical about IQ by inclination when I read Bell Curve in a public policy seminar in grad school, and became convinced that the assumption of race neutrality in the methodology is flawed and the results therefore skewed.

    Many of the best critiques of "The Bellcurve" demonstrated how segregated education itself account for most of the score differentials. That certainly tracks my experience 30 years ago with those black Staff NCOs came from either the rural South or the Inner City industrial North where the schools remain, to this day,as segregated as the day Brown v. Board cautioned all "necessary" speed correcting the inherent inequality of separate education.

  57. Field Negro,

    This is my response to Andrew Sullivan. I am sending it tonight. It only distantly approaches how badly his article made me feel.

    To: Andrew Sullivan

    I read your article with chin on chest, and that now all too familiar feeling of let-down and a bone-weary sadness.
    Since the election of President Obama, I have been jolted into painful reality by learning that a favorite author is a flaming racist; that singers who were loved in my household would hold my family in contempt because we are black; that the standard that is set for us is so impossibly high that we will never overcome it.
    At each revelation, I mourn for my sons, my grandson, my students and my race.
    I don't have a long time left. I thought we were better than this. I thought we had made excellent progress, and then I read a post by you, a writer whom I respect, and there it is again: an assumption of racial inferiority that is so flawed and so inaccurate that I am appalled that one with intellect as high as yours would succumb to its findings.
    Out of all the reality-checks that I have experienced over the last 3 years, this has been one of the most painful.
    You do not know enough about the African-American experience, the daily grind, the years of discrimination and enforced ignorance to make a call about our intelligence. Scientific evidence be damned; you have not walked in our shoes, nor lived our lives. You have never known our despair and our deprivation. You have not experienced the soul-stealing, psychological damage of apartheid. Until you do, you have no right to make a call on our intelligence.

    I cannot tell you why I feel so betrayed,I can only tell you that I do.

    The phrase "genetic predisposition" is NO WHERE in my Genetics, Molecular Biology, or Medical Biochemistry textbooks. So I suppose that the phrase "genetic predisposition" was likely created so that simpletons like yourself could understand genetics on an elementary school level.

    In fact, I've never even heard either a cancer or genetic epidemiologist use that phrase and I've "hung around" a few of them in my day too.

    Put another way, just because you still tell your Mommy you have to "boo-boo" a VERY popular phrase among toddlers, instead of using a more appropriate and adult phrase of "needing to have a bowel movement" doesn't totally negate the validity of your immature phrase.

    It simply means that adults have a more appropriate of speaking.

    And as far as your low IQ reference is concerned, I'll just say that it you posted multiple times to say the same thing which goes a LONG way to proving my assumption that your karyotype is XXY.

  72. You know, the Internet is a strange and wonderful thing. You get to read the thoughts of interesting people and be challenged in your prejudices and beliefs.

    You also get to hear the rantings of people who are assured in their ignorance.

    I've been reading your blog for a while so I don't think the responses you're getting in this post are a surprise to you, and unfortunately they are not a surprise to me. I'm sad, however, that people who have the technology & skill to access the Internet still are so ignorant; I can only say that they must have to work hard to stay ignorant, which means that at some point they might get tired and stop. That's just a hope, though.

    I'm also sad that some people seem to think it worth their while to try to tear people down. I don't know what they want to accomplish - I don't think they've really thought through their end-game, but it sounds to me like they don't have the courage to simply be forthright in their racism; it's as if they know it's wrong and shameful, but think that if they dress it up with "science" then their attitudes can be justified. (And of course they seem to be a tad bit afraid of being exposed in their racism & bravely hide behind "Anonymous" as their posting handle.) Maybe the racists realize their day has passed, that they don't have anything to bring back the olden days, and the only thing left is to insult and hurt. And even those efforts are wasted because most people today don't need the approval of a white racist to do what they damned well please.

    I'm sorry for all this nonsense you're getting. Words aren't enough, of course - just being sad and sorry about it doesn't make things change.

    I'm OK posting with my own name, too. I mostly am here just to listen, but every so often I want to chime in.

  74. Science, real science, does not acknowledge the existence of racial groups as we categorize them. Race in America is about skin color, which is one of the mutable & unreliable indicators of genetic makeup. So, for that matter, might be recent ancestry, which is sometimes the oral tradition of a family falsified over many generations until it is accepted as truth. People aren't always what they say they are or from where they say they're from, although they might honestly believe it.

  76. I.Q. tests nothing except your ability to take I.Q. tests.

    The ultimate proof of that comes from the US Army, who have conducted more I.Q. tests than anyone else. They found (for instance) that simply changing the invigilator alters people's test score.

    So with white invigilators, white candidates scored better than black. But when a black officer is put in charge of the test the scores are reversed, with the greatest swing in scores coming from candidates from below the Mason-Dixon line.

    Similarly the US Army has found that people from the northern states, (both black and white), have higher I.Q.'s than southerners, (both black and white).

    So all in all as a test of intelligence it's nonsense.

    I.Q. tests were developed by 19th century, white middle-class Austrians and Germans to test the intelligence of 19th century white middle-class Austrians and Germans, they have no bearing on the modern world.

    I'm sure if you asked a Masai tribesman to develop a test of intelligence, white folks in Europe or America would do rather badly, but that (as with IQ tests) wouldn't mean a thing.

    People are challenged only if they are interested in getting to know themselves. The racist anon, who considers himself/herself intelligent by insulting others, does not know himself or his relationship to mankind. He/she is incapable of learning anything new while consumed with racism. Hence, ignorance has the poor person in its grips for life.

  84. Everyone knows blacks are not the sharpest tools in the shed. That's why blacks need affirmative action racial quotas just to compete.

    Colleges, military, police departments and fire departments have to lower their standards so blacks can compete.

    Even with lower standards blacks still have a hard time. So schools have to cheat in order to help blacks move up in grade levels and graduate.

    The higher the black population in a city the higher the crime rates.

    Chapter 11Genetic Predisposition to Cancer

    Marcia S Brose, MD, PhD, Tom Smyrk, MD, Barbara Weber, MD, and Henry T Lynch, MD, while talking about the "Genetic Predisposition" to cancer all say the same thing.

    You will never be a Doctor. You just don't have the "genetic predisposition" for it.

    So in your best attempt at "understanding" you are saying that "genetic predisposition" is in fact valid only now you are saying it is for entry level Doctors, Geneticists and the like for they would be infantile to use the term and would instead use a more mature term. Obvious that you don't have the intelligence to understand the meaning behind the words you have selected.

    "It simply means that adults have a more appropriate of speaking".

    So what is the adult "more appropriate way of speaking" used to refer to refer to the conditions that are encompassed under genetic dispositions? Something like you know a nigga can't swim"? Or did yo pops ever get da cancer or dat diabets shit?

    Why do you as someone who has not even entered medical school believe she is more mature and advanced than those in the field who use the term? Could it be the arrogance resulting from that low IQ?

    And as far as your low IQ reference is concerned, I'll just say that it you posted multiple times to say the same thing which goes a LONG way to proving my assumption that your karyotype is XXY.

    Well, there goes the low IQ again, assuming that one poster said the same thing instead of what appears to be various people observing you are not intelligent and expressing in individual manners as if it had to be a plot and manipulated for people to observe your intelligence level.

    If you simply can't understand a term that is widely used and understood in the medical profession because of it's absolutely critical relevance and importance, rather than learn that term you debate it with poo-poo references. You have proven two things: you do not have an IQ where more than poo-poo and name calling can be exchanged and you will never be a Doctor.

All the while knowing you will never be a Doctor.

    Judging by your conflicting thoughts and statements you are one very confused person over her head. If you laughed at the white guy who stupidly said his mother had "sickle cell" anemia for not knowing he "probably had black in him" How does it compute with your IQ level to emphatically state that sickle cell is not endemic to black people - but people of african decent? Do you understand any part of what you are writing. You see a higher IQ would allow you to see these conflicts and seek a better understanding even if it is a struggle.

    In general, the 19th Century British were just more effectual at dog breeding than are moderns. I strongly doubt that they had better techniques. They just had better goals. For example, the reporter goes to visit a man who has been breeding a healthier English bulldog for 40 years, but nobody much cares.

    That reminds me that you occasionally read, although less often now than a decade ago, of somebody claiming that genetic engineering of humans will, Real Soon Now, change everything. I pretty much asserted that back in the 1990s.

    Well, maybe, but leaving aside all the technical questions and consider this: humans have near-complete control over dog breeding today, and yet we are lousier at it than a century ago.

    I was a secretary for a psychologist here who had a government contract with the board of education to administer a battery of tests to school age children in the public school system.

    He had a young man to translate theses tests from English to Spanish. With the cultural questions the young man had to translate them into cultural expressions of Puertoricans so the child could relate. I was perusing these tests one day and much to my surprise and shock, found out that many of these questions not only had no bearing whatsoever to this population, but that the young man, even though a college graduate, had a limited knowledge of English and had grossly misinterpreted/translated them. So some of the questions were downright laughable, but immensely saddening to see what these youngsters had to deal with and were super unfairly judged by.

    My thoughts are that these tests keep populations unfairly categorized/stigmatized

    It's clear that you were either physically or/and sexually abused...maybe both. Your thought patterns also indicate you were emotionally or physically abandoned by your parents. Growing up has been painfully challenging for you.

    Again, you need help. May I suggest you get it ASAP?

    It's because of Malaria. People who have the Sickle cell trait (including but not exclusively, African Americans) have their roots in areas where the Malarial mosquito is prevalent. Having a sickle cell trait gives you a greater chance of surviving malaria.

    So if you live in a Malarial region there is a genetic advantage to having the sickle-cell trait.

    Don't confuse the lack of skills/intelligence/common sense Africans possess towards combating Malaria and the resultant high number of cases in Africa for the dominant origin of the disease. Due to IQ levels just about every disease known to man is peaked in the African continent.

    Malaria is surprisingly so a disease that has been very high in tropical climates such as Asia, The Americas and Africa. You know, climates that mosquitos flourish in. In Africa they presumably think you need to rape a virgin to cure aids or something similar thus the number of cases of malaria that could be stopped with a simple net and fumigation of mosquitos doesn't take place. In fact many of the nets supplied by "other countries" to help Africans combat malaria were used as hair nets and such whilst the children got eaten by mosquitos.

    Anyway, Asians, Latinos don't have the gene for Sickle cell anemia, yes some but not as prevelant as the Black race does.

    Science doesn't change to fit wishful thinking or warped views. Race is a reality, geneticists can tell someone's race immediately using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis. Just ask Professor Gates. So if you don't like the traits associated with your race that genetic code locks in and that provides genetic disposition for specific skills abilities and overall capabilities, pray to god or work like hell to overcome genetics. But pretending they don't exist won't work.

    Your favorite doctor was not performing open heart surgery.

    More accurately, he did what emergency room doctors always do -- stop the bleeding.

    The pioneers of open-heart surgery were Dr Michael DeBakey and Dr Denton Cooley.

    You know, even though Isaac Newton is credited with creating calculus, he learned all he could from the mathematicians that came before him.

    But Newton gets the credit. The others get only a footnote for an assist.

    That's how it goes. But blacks never seem to grasp the obvious.

    George Washington Carver. He's it. His name is sufficient to cover the entire history of original black scientists.

    The goobers in South Carolina and Georgia would have starved in the early 18th Century had the West African slaves not shown them how to plant and harvest rice in the swamp lowlands of that region.

    Then rice went on to become the number one American cash crop on the world market for a half century establishing the foundation of American wealth.

    A little gratitude is in order, doncha think?

    Dr Charles Drew looks a lot whiter than Obama. I'd call him a BINO.

    Meanwhile, if seatbelts and airbags were standard equipment in cars in 1950, he would have survived the car crash that killed him.

    That aside, Drew's work was completed during WWII.

    In other words, black contributions to medicine are few and far between.

    Considering there are a lot more blacks in Africa than whites in the US, a person like you would drop the subject of why so little has been achieved by so many.

    It's a lot easier to ignore the reality. Of course, your stock answer boils down to claiming whites made it impossible for blacks to learn, something whites managed through trickery and deceit and done for some bizarre and inexplicable reason.

    After that I'm hoping to be commissioned to write an article on a UK football club that appears to have fallen into the hands of Chinese Triad gang called 'The Big Circle Boys.' They like the outline but their lawyers are a bit jumpy.

    Also I have the basis of a career retrospective of Joel 'the Big Bird' Garner, which I have just pitched to a cricket monthly. I should hear back next week.

    In other words, you're admitting that some people entering the US are NOT screened carefully.

    Hmmm. Where might they be from?

    What motivates these poorly screened people to come here?

    Well things that you want in the U.S Socialism - makes them go hungry, socialism - makes them poor and hungry - socialism - has the leaders rich, fat and wealthy while they are poor and hungry.

    Lastly from the continent of Africa it is lack of intelligence. Doesn't allow them to build or harvest the resources in country, so they must flee to the lands and nations that whites have created so that they like you can flourish living in advanced civilizations as opposed to inbreeding and getting some form of Anemia and going hungry.

    By your estimation, these poorly screened people are poor and uneducated. Yet they endure a lot to get here. Hmmm. There must be a motivation. If you were Somalian, living under total black rule, starving, being killed by disease and leaders who with a black mind think Islamisism and raping preadolescents is a way to cure aids you would want to leave as well. FUnny when those africans get here, they call african americans like you "ig'nant. Wonder why.

    12 former black democrat officials indicted for voter fraud

    QUITMAN, GA (WALB) - 12 former Brooks County officials were indicted for voter fraud. The suspects are accused of illegally helping people vote by absentee ballot.

    State officials launched an investigation after an unusually high number of absentee ballots were cast in the July 2010 primary election. "As a result of their grand jury findings 12 individuals were indicted in that particular matter and we will be trying that case in a court of judicial law instead of a court of public opinion so that will be pending this next year," said District Attorney Joe Mulholland.

    The defendants include some workers in the voter registrar's office and some school board members. They are Angela Bryant, April Proctor, Brenda Monds, Debra Denard, Lula Smart, Kechia Harrison, Robert Denard, Sandra Cody, Elizabeth Thomas, Linda Troutman, Latashia Head, and Nancy Denard.

    Right, I think we could Rustle up a few people who think it is a God given right to steal cattle on any continent. I don't think we will find will find number or quality of any sort of Architects, Mathameticians or Neurosurgeons amongst any tribes in Africa.

    Although I bet these folks in Europe, Asia and the US could read something and quickly figure out how to wrangle cattle , however the tribes as with Queenie will never become Doctors. That is what an Intelligence quotient denotes, capability of applying rationale and reasoning to previously unfaced problems. Not knowing how to rap with words never heard before that would be unfamiliar and pointless.

    I trained my dog to pee outside and not in the house in two days. It too was not familiar with the concept, but having a decent IQ for dogs, readily learned the concept, this despite only being conversant in heretofore doggie language.

    I love the lyrics you posted.

    Says a lot about the intelligence level of the tribe, we have a new generation over and over and over and over again. Not really a deep thoughtful moving ballad.

    That's a competency test -- not an IQ test.

    The problem with giving IQ tests to primitive people is their lack of practice with abstract issues.

    The same limitation makes it impossible for those limited simple people to create IQ tests.

    Meanwhile, as we know, the Masai are hapless waifs who wander, nomads.

    They are savages, which we know because they practice female genital mutilation and because very few can read or write.

    Despite having a language, they've created virtually no written records.

    Moreover, if an American or European were to read a couple of sociological and anthropological studies of these people, then that person would score well on any type of test a tribe member might create.

    They are simple, uneducated people who've been studied by others.

    Maybe it's news to you, but the people who know the most about Africa and Africans are the people who've actually studied Africa and Africans.

    Inasmuch as Africans did not keep records until whites arrived in Africa and began the process, it should not surprise even you to know that Africans know very little about themselves and their continent.

    They're too busy trying to stay alive.

    Africans never explored. Never went anywhere by ship -- unless taken by force.

    The total absence of modernity among most of the One Billion people of Africa ought to let you know they're not too bright.

    It takes some serious effort for an entire continent to remain 1,000 years behind the leading nations of the world.

    Susan Sonntag said it best.

    "the white race is the cancer of human history. It is the white race and it alone - its ideologies and inventions - which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself."
