Re: Nobel Prize scientist - Black people are dumb
[ QUOTE ]
First of all, his opinion here is not truth - there is no solid enough finding to claim this is truth. First you would have to a generalizable intelligence test, then you would have to have a strict definition of intelligence and then you would have to academic agreement on that term.
So what he stated was his opinion - and knowing he is an authority on the subject he should know what may fall, I don't deny him to the right to say what he feels like but neither do I feel any remorse that he pays the price.

We're all grown-ups here. We all know that opinion isn't truth. But opinion IS something, and if asked about it, are scientists to be punished for telling the simple truth? (unless, of course, it's the correct, PC opinion, which is always welcome)
