Some people want to use these issues to reinforce their own racist ideologies. It made me think real hard about it. No science is race neutral. On the other hand, if we refuse to follow the path that science takes us, we wouldn't get any discoveries. Galileo was excoriated as a dangerous public figure.
Real science challenges dogmatism.
I want to bring about open discussion. I think the taboo is a reflection of white racism, liberal white racism. Also partly Jewish. All the thinkers who talk about it, men like Richard Lewontin, Steven Jay Gould, Jonathan Marks, they're all of my generation, '60s Jews who carry the weight of the Holocaust on their shoulders. They believe blacks need to be protected, that they don't have the intellectual ability to deal with this issue, and that's white racism.
