Sounds fairly typical of people belonging to his generation. They aren't evil people, just folks who grew up in a very different world and whose views have sometimes not caught up to the expectations of today. In their somewhat defense, they did raise kids and grandkids whose views are much more noble on that count.Im wondering how many of the right wingers in P&N are going to feel about Nixon saying this.

To imagine that Americans had a higher opinion of him than Obama. Wow.Im wondering how many of the right wingers in P&N are going to feel about Nixon saying this.

Go back to the last century and look at those who not only thought many races were inferior but needed to be bred out. Eugenics didn't stare with Hitler and some mightly respected folks shared a common and positive perspective regarding eugenics.I have so many corporate stories in various forms of people of various races/genders pushers that were racist/religiously biased in upper management it is ridiculous.
I don't bother to mention most of them ever, several were busted over time.
Minorities can be as racist as anyone, and some others are some of the coolest people you would ever meet.
Cogs in the Wheel, Bricks in the Wall.
To imagine that Americans had a higher opinion of him than Obama. Wow.
Ugh don't remind me of that idiot. The attention and shame he brought this city still hangs around to this day.![]()
Look him up.
btw, 1st edition was in 1995.
Even reputable sources like an HR book will tell you that it's unknown what cultural, genetic or environmental factors result in blacks and some other groups scoring lower on cognitive ability tests.Im wondering how many of the right wingers in P&N are going to feel about Nixon saying this.

Yeah, I mean what he said was pretty racist but I agree that it was in line with what people generally thought at the time and I don't really have a problem with it as people are a product of their times. He was maybe even a bit more enlightened, in fact. When he was making that comment only around 40% of Americans thought that interracial marriage was okay. (for real, think how insane that is) When you view his comments in that context it suddenly doesn't seem so bad, haha.Sounds fairly typical of people belonging to his generation.

Differences between groups of people? Anyone to speak of that has been banned. Not sure what sort of commentary you hoped to find.New Im wondering how many of the right wingers in P&N are going to feel about Nixon saying this.
He also created the EPA and was the President when we left Vietnam. Most of his more horrible/immoral/illegal stuff wasn't known to the public.If he hadn't been so paranoid that he pulled the Watergate stunt he's probably be viewed favorably, just on improved relations with China.
It is probably true that there are racial differences in intelligence. This does not mean all blacks are dumb, etc., nor does it mean that someone who believes so will act discriminatory. There are many racial genetic differences, so it's not hard to believe. Also, even with all the advancements, the black-white IQ gap still hasn't narrowed that much. No one can tell you how much is cultural, environmental, or genetic.Yeah, I mean what he said was pretty racist
I wasnt actually speaking about conservatives who are against racism, I know there are at least a few of them around, just like there are a few good leftists around in this god forsaken cesspool known as Earth.Differences between groups of people?

As for Asia, clearly he saw China and moved to entangle us with them for the greater good.
I do believe our great trade relations have forestalled WW3 and helped build a relationship vial to future of the human race.
There are certainly some biological differences, Melanesians have better ability to understand non-tonal languages for instance, but many if not most of those differences are going to be specific and banal. Most of the major differences between ethnic groups today can be explained by environmental and cultural factors, meaning nutrition, sociological influences, and access to education and prosperity. Which is why Asians often so outperform other groups. If someone hasnt read up on Asian education and sociological pressures before, they should probably do so to get an understanding of what its like over there.It is probably true that there are racial differences in intelligence.

And even to ask for such a study no matter how unbiased the scientific method someone tries to employ is a no go due to the societal taboos they would come up against.It is probably true that there are racial differences in intelligence.

I find the last two sentences the most important: "A lot of people are just as racist now, but it's not fashionable anymore--and I think that's damned important. You can't talk about blacks like you once did."Im wondering how many of the right wingers in P&N are going to feel about Nixon saying this.
