Not only did I read them, I used 2 of them in citations.

And no, everyone knows "I'll bet a million dollars" is a figure of speech.  If you can prove you weren't lying about the 10% heritably that you not only stated as a fact, but complained that "scientific racism" was deliberately neglecting to mention, then I will in fact donate $150 to charity.  Quite frankly, I figured you HAD found such a quote, and I really just wanted you to cite it properly so I could see it. I considered the money already spent, and for a good cause, too.

It was only after you tap-danced around it for about 5 posts that I realized you might just be making shit up.  I still hope that's not the case, because while I think you're a dick, and argue like one, I've never actually thought you might straight-up lie.

Yeah, no shit.

It's like, as soon as I introduced the alt-right idea of IQ and race, I immediately questioned whether it was due to economic circumstances. Go figure.
