Supplementary #PoliticsNationalismWhite #AdvocacyUSPioneerFund [Wikipedia] "'[R]ace-realists view race as a natural phenomenon to observe, study, and explain. They believe that the human race is a valid biological concept... . The researchers associated with Pioneer tend to be race-realists.' -- Pioneer Fund website on 'race realism' '[Pioneer Fund founder Wickliffe] Draper's interest, such as it was, in the Repatriation [of black Americans to Africa] Movement was quite separate from the Pioneer Fund. Further ... [t]he movement had a long history of support, and from 1917-1923 was popular among a great many African Americans. ... Harry Weyher (president of Pioneer from 1958 to 2002), who knew Draper well, noted that Draper's main interest was in the Black-led voluntary repatriation movements.' -- Pioneer Fund website, defending the racial views of its founder" [The Southern Poverty Law Center] #IRLWhiteNationalistPhilippeRushton [Wikipedia] "'Whites have, on average, more neurons and cranial size than blacks... Blacks have an advantage in sport because they have narrower hips -- but they have narrower hips because they have smaller brains.' -- J. Philippe Rushton, speaking at the 2000 American Renaissance conference 'Throughout the world, Europeans and East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) average the highest IQs and socio-economic positions. The lowest averages are found among the Aborigines in Australia and in Africans and their descendants. Intermediate positions are occupied by the Amerindians, the South Asians from the Indian sub-continent, the Maori in New Zealand, and by the mixed race peoples in South Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The same pattern is found on many other social and life history indicators, such as educational levels, earnings, health, accidents, crime, marriage, fertility, and mortality.' -- J. Philippe Rushton in a 2008 post to the anti-immigrant hate site Vdare.com titled, 'Richard Lynn's The Global Bell Curve--The Explanation That Fits The Facts.'" [The Southern Poverty Law Center]
Addendum the logic of this fails to recognise the commonly held understanding of #TheoryAnthropologyMonogenism [Wikipedia] (and the commonly accepted #TheoryAnthropologyOutOfAfricaOOA [Wikipedia] of human evolution #MetaphorTransformationEvolutionHomoSapienHuman seemingly, originating in the #ToponymAfricaEastHornOfAfricaHoA [Wikipedia] ). And so, for the logic of this tweet to hold up, these so called 'white people' must have somehow developed separately i.e. #NarrativeTruthHypotheticalPolygenism [Wikipedia] as per #BeliefPseudoscienceScientificRacism and that in doing so, the argument seeks to shift the responsibility of #PowerControlChattelSlavery from a phenomenon whose responsibility is shared by all of us to one, which only applies to one group - importantly, excluding #PhenomnResponsibilityCulpability for so called 'white people'. This argument is a form of #PhenomnMisdirectionScapegoating. Whether the person posting this tweets realises this or not, the logic of their argument fits a #PoliticsNationalismWhiteSupremacy worldview - of distinct and separate 'races' i.e. #MetaphorPurityRace
