You really should stop doing that, if that's not what you intend to do.  You say ignorant...racist..shit, Benny.  Is it because you're an ignorant racist, or because you've been sold a bill of goods by ignorant racists?
No. It's neither. Talking about racial differences isn't racism, in any sense of the word that matters-- unless those differences (real or imagined) are being used as a pretext to limit the rights or liberty of individuals in those groups.

I didn't say, "Black people have lower IQs, so they don't deserve to make enough money to live well." I said, "Black people in the States have lower IQs, and this correlates with lower wages. Therefore, one way to solve the issue of pay inequity would be to raise the IQ of black people."

Now, remember that the black/white division was yours. It was my stated belief that well-constructed policies could have the philosophical advantage of being demographic-neutral, and the pragmatic advantage of closing the barrier. For example, a prisoner release program would be applied only to crimes committed, average sentences, and so on. But we both know that if you release those who were most unfairly penalized, that the majority of prisoners released would be black.

Or if we provide extra health and educational care to the poorest families, very many of them would be black, and we'd expect that IQ difference to be reduced over the course of a generation-- without having to paint everything in the divisive victim / oppressor demographics that you favor.
