The most notorious of the Foundation for Human Understanding publications was Stanley Burnham’s, America’s Bimodal Crisis: Black Intelligence in White Society (1985). This racist diatribe claimed that African Americans were an expense to their employers because they stole, they were incompetent, and having them as employees generated legal fees. Burnham (a pseudonym) also claimed that he knew a number of African American PhD candidates who had such a poor grasp of language that their theses had to be rewritten by trained secretaries and editors.
