Dont know why people say this about BEE whenever he shares a negative opinion? Like this entire board and the internet in general is people spewing their negative opinions but people only get pissed when he does it. Im not a fanboy or anything but this weird reflex that people have anytime Bret says "I dont like thing" is weird.

Coates was posting these in reaction to some major magazine--which was celebrating a major anniversary at the time--having in the 90s done a huge front-page feature on 'The Bell Curve'. The magazine backpedaled once backlash ensued by claiming that they weren't promoting/advocating for the (racist) ideology of The Bell Curve, but that they thought it was worthy of debate. Some Twitter user was rehashing that argument to Coates because he was bitching about the reputation of said magazine, so Coates lampooned him by sarcastically 'discussing/debating' another racist ideology, but one directed at whites, not blacks.

the spookiness of race exists in the same way it does with taxonomical nomenclature. it has no intrinsic part in reality but it has a practical application in that institutions are based around the observation of phenotypes like skin color. i might not want to identify as 'black' or 'man', but i also face prejudice daily regardless of the spookiness of both items

>> No.7025184

>>7025161
The Bell Curve wasn't racist, and the magazine which covered the book should not have made an apology. The book is grounded in science, couches every result in peer reviewed studies, and makes conclusions based solely on the evidence provided. The Nation of Islam's belief that Yakub, a god like Black ancient scientist who created white men through genetic experimentation, has zero scientific basis.

Does Coates wish to imply that the NoI claims about race have the same credibility as scientific studies on intelligence? Does he wish to shut down any scientific debate on the nature of intelligence because it may offend him and his beliefs?

You're both right about the Bell Curve being shit and all, but there was one thing in this article that got me:

>In this sense it is unfortunate to see anonymous staffers accusing TNR's owner Chris Hughes of trying to create "another BuzzFeed." If that is truly Hughes's ambition, then—in at least one important way—he will have created a publication significantly more moral than anything any recent TNR editor ever has. No publication has more aggressively dealt with diversity than BuzzFeed. And not unrelated to this diversity has been a stellar range of storytelling and analysis, that could rival—if not best—the journalism in the latest iteration of TNR.

This is the trouble I have with those who prize identity politics above all else. Their goals may be understandable, but they will embrace any piece of shit that they perceive as being allies in their cause.
