I used to be surprised that professors act like this. Then I learned that our radically-liberal political science professor sent an email to one of her student's mothers calling her a Nazi (apparently not realizing the girl and her mother are Jewish).
I was just having a conversation about this and I was like "why haven't I seen this on ontd_political yet"
He said that people were wildly misinterpreting this but, after reading this, there is no way.
I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent. I could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that they are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances.
Variables that you'd control are environmental, class, geographical, etc. NOT genetics. She just basically contradicted herself in the first two sentences, crazy!
