To My Readers: Gone Fishin’ Till 3/13

7 03 2008

All,

I would like to extend our special thanks to everyone who’s been reading the blog so far. I’m taking a trip to Puerto Rico to calm my nerves, and will be returning on March 13th full of more hate than ever before. I will do my best to blog at least once or twice while I’m there, but I can’t make any promises.

Before I go, there’s one issue that I’ve been emailed a lot about - namely a lot of people have seen my disclaimer about this blog’s similarity to StuffWhitePeopleLike.org, and pretty much leave me alone about it. However, as most of you know, there is also a very popular site called ‘StuffEducatedBlackPeopleLike’ that people are accusing me of spinning off, since I don’t have a similar disclaimer for that site.

I’d just like to say, for the record, that if you look at the date of my first post and the date of SEBPL’s first post, you will see that my blog was actually written first - therefore, the reason I didn’t write a disclaimer for it is because I’m not a motherfucking psychic. This is not intended to discredit SEBPL (which I find to be a fairly amusing site, albeit less caustic than mine), nor is it intended to defend the originality of this blog. Rather, the intent is to get people to stop emailing me about this shit because my delete key is getting worn out.

SEBPL happens to be the more popular blog by far, maybe because it’s more focused, or maybe it more closely mirrors SWPL in subject and tone, or maybe it’s better written - I don’t know and I don’t care. For me, it’s not a friggin’ popularity contest - it’s about keeping me out of a looney bin and entertaining a few good humored folks (and enraging those who are less so) along the way.

So with that issue finally settled (I hope), thanks everyone for your kind words and comments, and for spreading the joyful hate of this website. I’ll be figuratively seeing you late next week.

-Chris

James Watson

I forget exactly how, but yesterday I wound up digging up this old coot in a news search yesterday:

Figure 1: Enjoys black people

In case you’ve forgotten who this guy is, he’s American DNA pioneer Dr. James Watson who, after an illustrious career that included countless accolades and a Nobel Prize, effectively ended it with the following ill-advised remarks:

“[I'm] 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.”

He then said that he hopes everyone is equal, but “people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true.”

Way to put the final nail in your own coffin, dipshit.

So one of the most highly acclaimed genetic scientists in the world wraps up his career by basing the intelligence (or lack thereof) of black people on IQ tests and the fact that Shanequa fucked up his order at Burger King. Nevermind the fact that the ‘testing’ he’s referring to increasingly indicates that a.) IQ differences between the races can be attributed to environmental factors and cultural bias in the tests themselves, and b.) no genetically causal relationship exists between skin color and intelligence - and the idea that there IS a causal relationship is considered ludicrous in the scientific community at-large.

There’s something about this idiot’s downfall that just makes me smile, especially given his statement about black employees. It makes me smile because, if basing the intelligence of an entire race of people on a sample of a few bad apples is the game we’re going to play, then by all means deal me in, motherfucker:

Followup: If you go to Google Images and search “Ugly White People”, James Watson is fifth on the list.

Followup 2: Even funnier, if you go to Google Images and search “Ugly Black People”, he’s number six.
