Did anyone hear what Tucker Carlson said in an interview last night?

[Nexus2]

I just heard it mentioned on TRMS. That black people have lower IQs and that explains why they make less and their general lack of worth as a people.

1. I believe that Tucker's guest argued that position

Maddow said that Charles Murray, Tucker's guest, argued that.

2. Well..

There's a lot of stupid white people, they're called republicans.

Pot kettle white?
Murray? What about you Tucker you Fucker?

3. I don't believe that he believes that. This is

For his degenerate fans, Tucker is also a degenerate but in other ways.

4. Carlson let his guest spew his toxin unchallenged.

There is no racism because whites are superior? Really.

How far is too far for Faux News these days?

6. Charles Murray has been writing "scholarly" racist screeds for decades. Books like his 1994

"The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life" provided Republicans cover for their racist policies. Murray was a huge Trump defender and supporter. It figures Carlson would have this guy on his show.

10. IQ is a shitty measurement of intelligence...

..because there is so much socio-economic bias in the various tests.
Cutting to the chase.. it's possible that black kids DO have lower IQs as measured on tests designed for white, middle class kids.
That kind of test is meaningless when trying to measure innate intelligence because it actually measures acculturation.

"Runner is to Marathon as Regatta is to_________________" Only rich kids know what a regatta is.

Preschoolers shown pictures of various animals are another example. Poor kids may have never seen the animals, whereas kids from more affluent parents took them to zoos.

Ed. literature is full of examples.

I used to write an IQ test for my white, middle class students and they failed miserably because they didn't know things like: Which gives better gas mileage, a 3.73 or a 4.10 transmission gear ratio. ("Gear-heads know... everybody else is stupid!&quot
Or: What is the incubation time for a chicken egg? ("Farm kids know... everybody else is stupid.&quot
Oe: What kind of scissors cut a zig-zag line? (Sewing people know... everybody else is stupid.&quot
Etc...
