.John Derbyshire, who wrote
for the National Review, penned a column that criticized blacks and
accused them of being dangerous generally. It also advised readers to
stay away from (some) blacks.

There is much talk about “the talk.”
“Sean O’Reilly was 16 when his mother gave him the talk that most black
parents give their teenage sons,” Denisa
R. Superville of the Hackensack (NJ) Record tells us.
Meanwhile, down in Atlanta: “Her sons were 12 and 8 when Marlyn Tillman
realized it was time for her to have the talk,” Gracie
Bonds Staples writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Leonard
Greene talks about the talk
in the New York Post. Someone
bylined as KJ
Dell’Antonia talks about the talk
in The New York Times. Darryl
Owens talks about the talk in the
Orlando Sentinel.
Yes, talk about the talk is all over. [...]
I'll
leave it to you to agree, or not, on the points
Derbyshire made
to his kids. We never had any "talk" with our own
kids' Most parenting, I think, is by "conveyance."
Kids watch how parents react in certain situations. Our kids
certainly sensed when the wife and me were uneasy, and sensed danger.
Lion cubs do that too.
What really doomed Derbyshire though, was the same thing that
doomed
Charles Murray for writing The
Bell Curve, or Nobel Prize Winner and DNA pioneer Dr.
James Watson, for their findings about genetics and intelligence.

The mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites. The
least intelligent ten percent of whites have IQs below 81; forty
percent of blacks have IQs that low. Only one black in six is more
intelligent than the average white; five whites out of six are more
intelligent than the average black. These differences show in every
test of general cognitive ability that anyone, of any race or
nationality, has yet been able to devise. They are reflected in
countless everyday situations. “Life is an IQ test.” [Derbyshire]

We were at a dear friend's home, very, very Liberal friends, for
a
family affair once. I found myself introducing the subject of the
Bell Curve.
Nobody in the room knew what the hell I was talking about, so I
explained that Charles Murray found evidence that the
Negro race were, on the whole, less intelligent than other races.
Holy
crap! The words "you
racist asshole"
went bouncing off every wall. One of the sons, then a Peace
Corp
worker, and normally very mild mannered, was particularly
agitated
(did I say we were all drinking?).
Race has nothing to do with intelligence levels!
he demanded. I asked— wait, weren't we just just talking about
how
Blacks, by virtue of unusual tendon and muscle genetics (or some-such)
were vastly
superior in sports? Especially where speed and jumping ability
are
involved? Hmmmm? Would you be upset if I commented on the
vaunted
large genetically endowed Black penis (not supported in my years of
taking showers
in gyms and barracks, btw)? How come genetics can be discussed in
good humor if they indicate superiority, but not
shortfall?" I was literally asked to leave their home. Who
was being the racist here?
By the by, when Murray died, his wife said she was flooded with calls
from his erstwhile associates. They, who had abandoned him
when he came under Liberal attack, apologizing for their
cowardice., and agreeing Murray's work followed sound scientific
discipline and norms. Rich
Lowry (who fired Derbyshire)
may be calling Mrs. Derbyshire with his mea
culpas one day.
What this is
really all about, is that since Obama has been on
the
national scene, race relations are worse than they have been at any
time in our history. They are toxic! And it is not any accident.
