The answer to what? All I'm saying is that the Dr. Watson dude probably has seen all kinds of data suggesting that Africans (be they black or no) are genetically predisposed to being less intelligent than others. So he gets in trouble by saying so publicaly and then backs off because he realizes that the statement is too politically incorrect for your average person; that the implication is an inconvenient truth. My point is that he *could*, could be right and that it's not racist to say so. I'm NOT saying Dr Watson isn't racist; maybe he is and that's why he said what he did. But it doesn't change the fact that there may be a correlation between skin color and intelligence, whatever the measure it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
