Posting at Instapundit, Reynold's wife Helen Smith quotes Charles Murray's newest book Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America.
Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.
Talk about assertions that will make heads explode across America, these will do nicely. Whether or not they are accurate is completely beside the point.
