I’m 45, and here I was thinking that I’d turned a page by starting to listening to new and young bands again…

Sorry, that’s not what Pinker wrote. As nerdskull so eloquently put it, read the damn text. It’s like being in a tutorial class where nobody did the readings in here ffs. Not trying to defend racists, just not a fan of ppl making shit up.

Two separate statements in two separate paragraphs, one about ideas he’s taught, another on research done by colleagues at Harvard. Nowhere does he make any argument that black people are ‘genetically less intelligent than white’ as you claimed. That’s why I asked for a quote.

Just happened to read this at Charlie’s in Sibiu, Romania. No pepper pot soup though.
