The Problem is that even here, you are not saying what needs to be said. In a sense even Turkheimer is being more honest than you are. It is a matter of ethical principle(s) that the genetic inferiority of a race... in circumstances where it's denial has led to 60yrs of atrocities, if admitted must lead to reprisals.
a) Against the liars.
b) Against the inferior race.
c) Against both, just in case.
Personally I'm on team A.
In any case there must be an atom bomb. It must be destructive. The only question is who genuinely deserves to be in the blast radius.

Here's the funny part.
People don't sign up for moral crusades in which they don't get to crush their enemies at the end. You can't go - 1) This was a terrible atrocity. 2) It's ok now no one must be punished.
If you say 1 and 2, no one trusts you on 1. There has never been a societal change in which the winning side was not fueled by some desire for retribution.
We should stop being cowardly and just say it. Eric Turkheimer will be deported to Haiti if we win.
The mantra in the’70s was that “people are all the same“. It wasn’t true then, and it isn’t true now. There is a sizable group who would prefer to treat people as interchangeable. That is one step away from treating people as if they are disposable.
If we could get people to accept that intelligence is largely hereditary, we might be able to get them to stop looking for the witch every time outcomes differ. Then policy makers might come to grips with the fact that people are not the same.
We have been closing out economic niches for the left end of the Bell curve, for decades. This is manifestly unjust. Even if you do not believe that human beings have any intrinsic worth, you should remember that they all have trigger fingers.
We live in a ideological times. We've always lived in ideological times. The Young Earth Creationists were just one in a long procession of ideologies, and there are many other ideologies, not just the Young Earthers.
The trouble in debates over sensitive topics is it requires intellectual honesty, and we lost that at some point over the millennia. Or maybe we never really had it, or maybe it was there all along, just, it's not convenient to Power for Truth and Honesty to play the prominent role, so they're always on the margins.
Years ago I encountered the topic while researching merit (which in the simple formulation is defined as intelligence x effort). IQ is the closest convenient quantitive metric, but it's not intelligence, and Bell's curve created an inconvenient rendition. We live in a topsy-turvy world and ideologies have us.
First and foremost, you must identify the Christian doctrine of soul equality as the origin of all egalitarian sentiment. Love your enemy, turn the other cheek, kiss the leper, etc. It has always been Semitic malware in the white mind. It was an inversion of values, a Trojan horse for bringing down Rome from the inside. Communism was inspired by “the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
Second, you must be blunt about the archaic hominid ancestry of sub-Saharans. On the genetic level, it has been discovered that negroes possess “ghost DNA”, a politically correct euphemism for residual archaic hominid ancestry. The ancestors of negroes mixed with a pre-modern population, and while we cannot identify which species it was, this does explain the primitive morphology and psychology of sub-Saharans.
Finally, clarify what race is and what it is not. Skin colour has little to do with race, as anyone who has seen an albino negro will know. The essence of race is craniofacial morphology and geographic ancestry, and negroes are very distinct from the rest of humanity. They are the oldest and most isolated branch, and this is evident in their morphology, which still bears some strikingly simian characteristics. Specifically, the flat mid-face (also shared with east asians), broad olfactory cavity, rudimentary nasal structure, very large teeth, wide mouths, prognathism, and the distinct lack of chin structure. The mouth protruding out from the face, like an animal's muzzle, is arguably the most unsettling feature. As always, the degree to which these traits manifest will vary between individuals. Moving eastward into the Horn of Africa, blacks become gradually more Caucasoid in their morphology, transitioning into a more Arab appearance in Somalia and Ethiopia.
Of course, there is another big reason why all of this is resisted with such tenacity. It starts the dominoes falling, culminating in the ultimate realisation, the one humans fear the most: that there is nothing more to life than what we see. Race is incontrovertible proof that we are animals, and if we are animals, that means the material is all there is. And if the material is all there is, that means there's no such thing as a soul. And if we don't have souls, there can be no continuation of our consciousness after death. And if there's nothing after death, then there's no God. Dignity is an illusion, there are no second chances, and we're all fucked.
You spew that same Anti-Christian pseduo-history everywhere. Christianity is NOT the origin of race Denialism nor even Egalitarianism in general. Nowhere in the Bible nor the teachings of any Church Fathers was it ever taught that all Souls are equal, in fact scriptures frequently says that souls differ from each other in every way
Excellent article, thank you.
Logic is the way to win an argument.
The same can be said for Sex/Gender Creationism
