[AmericanThinker] "James Watson, who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA alongside Francis Crick in the 1950s based on the work of British chemist Rosalind Franklin, Among many, many, many others - who, unfortunately, were all white males - and didn't actually notice Rosalind's (Jewish = bad, but the only female who could be history revised to have anything with the subject) contribution at the time. said in a PBS film that genes cause a difference in intelligence between white and black people in IQ tests. "The 90-year-old's comments were labeled 'reprehensible' by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) on New York's Long Island, where Watson had been the director from 1968 to 1993. The laboratory said it 'unequivocally rejects the unsubstantiated and reckless personal opinions Dr. James D. Watson expressed,' noting the statements were 'reprehensible [and] unsupported by science[.]'" Watson was shortly relieved of his administrative duties, but not his title. Among other "reckless" statements attributed to the Nobel winner, Watson implied what has been statistically proved over and over: that stupidity is linked to genes. In CNN's report, the word "unsubstantiated" stands out most glaringly, especially in light of the existence of a warehouseful of substantiation to support Watson ‐ for example, documented statistical IQ differences among the races among humanity. And he didn't even mention the differences between genders Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2019-01-18 |
