He doesn’t get invited to colleges anymore. Murray is racist and sexist, say activists, because he wrote the book, "The Bell Curve,” which says that IQs differ by race, and that blacks, on average, have a lower IQ than whites. “Do you believe that blacks are intellectually inferior?” I ask him. “If you give mental tests to a represented sample of whites and a representative sample of blacks, there will be about a one standard deviation difference,” Murray explains. "To then translate that into people being inferior and superior is idiotic.” "East asians, on average, have a higher IQ than whites. Ashkenazi Jews have higher IQs," Murray adds. It’s just a fact. Many researchers say Murray is correct. Still, lots of people want no discussion about racial differences. Murray has been “cancelled.” But Murray has interesting ideas that deserve to be heard… NOT shouted down.

Herrnstein and Charles Murray Read by Charles Murray The ability to manipulate information has become the single most important element of success. High intelligence is an increasingly precious raw material. But despite decades of fashionable denial, the overriding and insistent truth about intellectual ability is that it is endowed unequally. In this audio presentation of THE BELL CURVE, author Charles Murray explores the ways that low intelligence, independent of social, economic, or ethnic background, lies at the root of many of our social problems. He also discusses another taboo subject: that intelligence levels differ among ethnic groups. According to the authors, only by facing up to these differences can we accurately assess the nation's problems and make realistic plans to address them. However, if we accept that there are intelligence differences among groups, we must learn to avoid prejudicial assumptions about any individual of a given group whose intelligence level may be anywhere under the bell curve.
