Nobel laureate retires from L.I. lab after racial remarks

Do you think that the white folks in the photos should “apologize”?

From the New York Daily News

The Nobel Prize-winning scientist who sparked a furor by suggesting blacks are less intelligent announced today that he will be retiring from the Long Island lab where he worked for more than 40 years.”Closer now to 80 than 79, the passing on of my remaining vestiges of leadership is more than overdue,” James D. Watson said in announcing his retirement from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.”The circumstances in which this transfer is occurring, however, are not those which I could ever have anticipated or desired,” he said.

Watson shared the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1962 with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins for discovering the double-helix structure of DNA.

Watson became the center of a firestorm when, in London to promote a book, he gave an interview suggesting Africans are less intelligent.

He told the Sunday Times of London magazine that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really.”

Watson added that while he hopes everyone is equal, “people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true.”

The prestigious lab’s board of directors suspended Watson last week after his comments were made public.

Watson apologized publicly for his remarks.

To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologize unreservedly,” he said. “That is not what I meant.

“More importantly from my point of view, there is no scientific basis for such a belief.”

The lab’s board said it respected Watson’s decision to retire.

I’m sorry folks but I’m a cynical bastard as y’all know, but why did dude apologize?

If he thought that black folks were inherently inferior and he is this long standing award wining scientist then he must have had some scientific basis for him acknowledging such nonsense.

Why it is such a shock when old white people even in this era of political correctness blurt out their true feelings about this evolving environment of racial inclusion and this melting pot which is a far cry from the racially segregated utopia they grew up in.

The majority of old white people still think black folks are beneath them and wish we would pack up our spears and shields and head back across the pond to the “mother land.”
Hell there was this old white dude on Oprah not too long ago during a Jena 6 debate,  saying basically that there should be two America’s one white one black. Yes I know this is retarded, but hey who am I to explain the “superior” white mind.

You are entitled to your opinion, even racially insensitive ones!

But white folks don’t need to risk their careers and be subject to ridicule and scorn because we black folks have “Niggadar” kinda like a radar, or Gaydar.
Many times upon our initial greeting with your average white person, we know what is being processed in that superior white brain, from the deer in the headlights look, the reluctance of the pending handshake or the girlie handshake to the stepford wives smile.
So your disdain can be registered without having to blurt out any racist diatribe therefore avoiding any needless apologies.

    I have sometimes wondered what it might be like to be Black in America. Not that I want to try it, mind you. It seems to me that unlike most folks who have light skin, those who are darker hued have to factor race into more situations then do the paler humans. Maybe they don’t HAVE to do so, but then tend to do so. What do you think? Do you think that white Americans give race issues a quarter of the attention that Black Americans do? (And why am I capitalizing Black and not white? - is that some kind of proof that race is more important when it comes to Blacks?).

    It does not surprise me that an 80 year old white male might, in his heart of hearts, believe that Negroes are mentally inferior. For one thing, it is highly unlikely that such a white male has ever in his whole life really gotten to know anyone Black. For a lot of reasons. And for anouther wasn’t it (or isn’t it still) real common for Blacks to HIDE their true selves and feelings from whites that they sensed were already “against” them? Isn’t that just human nature to keep walls up between self and those who would attack self?

    I think that America is better because it is a melting pot. I think that we as a country are stronger and better because we aren’t as able to draw lines separating “us” and “them” along obvious lines or differences. Just as those from Arabic countries could not get along with each other until there was an Israel to unite against, and just as Hitler gained power by blaming his country’s economic woes upon “those outsiders,” so too might we in this country fall prey to the lure of joining together against some easily identified enemy. The truth is that Americans of all races need to drop the b.s. and realize that God (by whatever name) does not make mistakes. Only humans do! There is no superior or inferior race of human beings. The bad things that happen in this world are not due to anything God has made. They are due to the stupid choices and evil conduct on the part of humans. And racism, in whatever era or guise, is evil and stupid.
