Genetics and IQ Testing

[Ben]

Kendi some strong points around IQ testing and genetic determination in race. I recently came across these two podcasts from Sam Harris where he not only discusses this but hosts a conversation with a geneticist who disagrees with Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve which, if I recall correctly, Kendi mentions in the book.

Honestly, these were points I struggled to understand the most. Would love to discuss them; not in how the notion of genetic differences can promote racist ideas but specifically how Kendi denounces IQ testing as a racist mechanism.
