I came of age in the U.K. at the time when Hans Eysenck was in his prime. To the disgust of many, especially my first wife (who was very white, had a decree in Sociology & the most intelligent person I have ever met (& yes, I realize that that doesn’t gel with why she would have married me)), I subscribed to his views. I had a copy of his book “Know Your Own IQ” (and it was one I referred to OFTEN in those days). They made sense & I had seen examples. The prestigious, fee-paying school in London that I had attended (i.e., ‘Mill Hill’) even had a ingrained saying about it. Mill Hill kids, for generations, had talked about ‘Munda Logic‘ (i.e., African thinking)!
I listened, in the car, to hours of Nathan Wade & his ex-lawyer’s testimony. Also to some of Fani Willis. I will be upfront & honest — because I don’t have to be politically correct. I am non-white, have been ALL MY LIFE & have endured my share of race prejudice, race discrimination & racial abuse. They did NOT strike me as very intelligent people. They came across as extremely STUPID. OF COURSE there are very intelligent black folk. My HERO ‘Nelson Mandela‘ immediately comes to mind. I can’t say ‘Obama‘ BECAUSE he is HALF-WHITE. [And just for the record, my son is named after a black cricketer. So, I am NOT a racist. I find many black folks ultra cool. It is just that some, like Willis & Wade, give ‘scientific racism‘ a fair amount of credibility. Yes, there are STUPID people of all colors. But, these are SUPPOSEDLY educated & allegedly ‘clever’ people who are demonstrably NOT. Enough said.
I hope that they are both PROSECUTED for misconduct and sent to prison. That is where they should be.
