Rather we support our beliefs with rational arguments, the HBD-deniers don’t bother presenting counter arguments (and when they do they tend to be laughably bad) but instead try to argue that it’s somehow immoral to say and/or believe these things regardless of their truth value.
I’ve not really followed you, but I’ve never once seen you make an argument or even explain what you want. If you tell me something y’all want that you could plausibly achieve without the aid of low-status racists, perhaps I’ll try to put y’all in a separate category.
I’d like people to stop trying to suppress science because of nothing but ideological principles, like the creationists, and let the scientists get on with stuff like finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.

I’ll give you two-to-one odds that Derbyshire has not found a promising line of research for an Alzheimer’s cure.

Let’s see the results of the survey when they come out.
