Nobel Prize Winner claims Black people ‘less intelligent’

James Watson, Nobel Prize winning scientist for discovering the DNA sequence is caught is a whirlwind of controversy after recent racial remarks describing Black people. In speaking about the state of affairs in Africa, that he was,”“inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa [because] all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really.”. He further elucidated his baffling point by saying “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”.

It just boggles the mind…one of the men who helped discover the DNA sequence, someone who has had an intimate look into the the unique potentials that can arise through the interplay of one’s nature and one’s nurture, can come to such an ignorant conclusion. Further defending his stance, Watson states,“there are many people of colour who are very talented, but don’t promote them when they haven’t succeeded at the lower level”… “there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so”.

Wowzerz. Maybe Kramer and Imus need a roommate?
