Why Race Matters is the title of a book by Michael Levin, a professor of philosophy at NY City College. many years ago he was asked to write a piece on US education for an Australian magazine. In it he stated that there is abundant evidence to indicate that the mean I.Q.’s of US Blacks and Whites are significantly different. This created a firestorm at City College generated by students and faculty. Levin required bodyguards for safety. The black president of the college tried to get Levin fired, but he had tenure and a costly trip to federal court saved his job. Being trained as a philosopher Levin was better than most at sorting fact from myth. The result was the above book, that was difficult to publish even at $65 a copy. That first edition now sells for over $500. But there is now a paperback that is cheap. In it one may find these well referenced data:
Since the civil rights legislation of 1965 Black illegitimacy has
climber to the region of 70%
Black children living in poverty 42%
Black families without fathers at home 56%
Fewer than 50% of black single mothers are self supporting
FBI data. Blacks commit more than 50% of murders
FBI data. Blacks commit more than 60% of robberies.
College blacks are 4.2 times more likely to take remedial courses than
whites.
Adult homeless males in NYC are more than 91% black or hispanic.
50% of black crime has a white victim
3% of white crime has a black victim.
Books of this ilk are essential to provide a rational basis to examine
our racial divide. PONDER !!!
I’ve read this book and I give it my highest possible recommendation. It’s unquestionably brilliant. BUY IT NOW! Seriously. Do it.
