Darjeeling answers “Why is Charles Murray's white nationalist...”

Kfreed asked this question about The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life:

Why is Charles Murray's white nationalist book so intriguing to some people? The man preaches Nazi-style eugenics for Pete's sake: Southern Poverty Law Center: "Charles Murray has become one of the most influential social scientists in America, using racist pseudoscience and misleading statistics to argue that social inequality is caused by the genetic inferiority..." https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extrem

The literature indicates that Jews in America and Britain have an overall IQ mean somewhere between a half and a full standard deviation above the mean, with the source of the difference concentrated in the verbal component. "

Page 142 of 912 of The Bell Curve: "...these are supposed to be the advantaged Americans: whites of European descent. But they have one big thing working against them: they are not very smart." Have you read the book? Perhaps if you did it would answer your question.

The SPLC have also put a black Somali born ex-Muslim woman who founded a charity for young female abuse victims on thier little list of "racists".
They have also added a brown skinned Muslim reformer who founded an organisation to try and stop young muslims from joining ISIS.
They have completely lost the plot i'm afraid.

Joseph Young Charles Murray is unequivocally a white supremacist and this disingenuous book has been thoroughly debunked.
