See if you can find what these people have in common.



I really didn't need more reasons to hate the man.

Scientific racist - the writer. This became a dog whistle from back then.

It gave racists a "scientific" reason for their racism. As I recall, the American Psychological Association commissioned a taskforce to investigate this and they had a good number of criticisms for the book. First of all, there was no peer-review process. Second, the authors made some erroneous inferences based on their data in favoring the genetics explanation without due consideration of environmental and social impacts.

So Charles Murray just took his data and used it to back his preconceived result. Murray has made a lot of money as a speaker ever since.

It was not only not peer reviewed but when the data used was evaluated by several (really all of them) actual experts they couldn’t find anything or any way to come to what Murray included in the book.

Turnip *thinks* he's self-assured, but he's actually self-deluded.

And I'm not about to call him "self-possessed". He's clearly possessed, but not that kind of possessed.

As I have often pointed out to right wing bigots who insist they are not racist because "I would never use the n-word" (or some equally lame reason), when you provide food, water and plenty of sunshine to bigotry, it matters little whether you, yourself, use such language or engage in openly bigoted behavior!"

but he never ever will. his pathology circumvents it. he can be humiliated and know he's been humiliated, but he will never have the introspection or empathy required to experience shame. never.

You’re going to have to face it, donald. Whether you like it or not. Whether you want to or not.

The Pope has a bigger following than YOU will EVER have!!! EVER and EVER, AMEN!!!

Frankly, EVERY Pope will have a bigger following than you’ve ever had, on into the future.

(never mind gw) is definitely stupid and deranged enough to believe that just being Black means a person is stupid. that's how fucking stupid he is.

Jasmine Crockett's brilliance is in his face but he cannot see it over the color of her skin. that's how fucking stupid he is.
