Robert Wald Sussman’s Religious Catechism: “Race Does Not Exist”
12th November 2014
The Cathedral is panicking. Modern science overwhelmingly shows that not only is race biologically real but it is also correlates with a number of important traits. Such findings have made the guardians of Politically Correct Thought even more brash and, unfortunately, monotonous in their assertion of “race is not biologically real.”
Case in point. Professor of anthropology Robert Wald Sussman (who recently defamed Jared Taylor) published a hit piece in this week in Newsweek (“There Is No Such Thing as Race“), which is an excerpt from Sussman’s new book on why race is not real. The target of the piece is race, which is not hard to miss, since it’s quite repetitive. In fact, it’s not really an argument at all but just a broken record. Sussman early on says his book has not “dwelt upon all of the scientific information that has been gathered” by scientists et al. about race, and then goes on to discuss Hitler, Medieval injustices against Jews, more Hitler, etc. It’s funny that he cites Franz Boas as a savior of sorts, even though Boas has been thoroughly repudiated as a fraud. He also engages in numerous logical fallacies, such as the one that since race is clinal it cannot exist (many things are clinal and exist).
