>"U.S. Blacks Face African Levels of AIDS" > >> > "North American Blacks are on the brink of an AIDS epidemic," warned Dr. J. >Philippe Rushton, a Guggenheim Fellow and professor of psychology at the >University of Western Ontario. > > "Right now, about 2% of U.S. Blacks are living with HIV/AIDS as are Black >Caribbeans," said Rushton. "That was the level of AIDS infection in Africa >just 15 years ago. Now African rates are between 8 and 20%. > > In a talk at the National Press Club in Washington on July 11th, Dr. >Rushton emphasized the seriousness of the threat by citing the June 2000 >figures from UNAIDS on 15- to 49-year-olds, which show the following rates >of infection: > > Haiti 5.17% > Bahamas 4.13% > Guyana 3.01% > Dominican Republic 2.80% > Panama 1.54% > Suriname 1.26% > Belize 2.01% > Barbados 1.17% > Trinidad 1.05% > Jamaica 0.71% > > Rushton was joined at The National Press Club by Robert Gordon, professor >of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, Michael Levin, professor of social >philosophy at City College of New York, and Jared Taylor, president of the >New Century Foundation. All four have published extensively on race >differences. The four experts came together to announce the publication of >the new, for-the-public version of Rushton's academic treatise, Race, >Evolution, and Behavior. > > "The AIDs figures are a dire threat, because when 2% of the population is >infected, the epidemic is considered to be out of control. Essentially, we >are faced with the threat of an African AIDS epidemic within large sections >of the Black population of the United States, and also in the Caribbean," he >said. "However, he noted, "conditions are obviously very different in >America than in Africa." > > "We gathered here today to try to lift the taboo on discussing the >evidence," said Rushton. "We need an open and free discussion on the >possible genetic basis of race differences, not only in AIDS, but in crime, >IQ, athletic ability, and the other topics covered in my book. Tragically, a >failure to discuss these issues is killing people." All four researchers >were adamant that "Now is the time for a really open and free dialogue to >begin about race." > >For further information, contact: > >J.
