A 1930s exhibit by the Eugenics Society. Two of the signs read “Healthy and Unhealthy Families” and “Heredity as the Basis of Efficiency”. C.C. BY 4.0.

Eugenicists amongst us

Elon Musk posted to his social media platform, Twitter (X), yesterday. He was responding to another tweeter who tweeted the following:

This is Musk’s response tweet:

Tweet from “X” — tweeter’s name omitted by author

Musk and someone are suggesting that students training to become pilots at HBCUs are intellectually inferior in a significant way. The prior tweet even states (no doubt it is a lie) that based on SAT scores, their IQs are not good. This is the level of madness. The war over DEI is at DEF CON 3, at least judging by this.

The evil of scientific racism (eugenics)

For the record, the first tweet is a complete fabrication of the facts and the record and credibility of the IQ test and the SAT. This is just racist evil. Musk even intentionally misspells DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs “DIE” in order to score points with other racists and other people who oppose DEI but don’t know why.

Musk and whoever this is posting before him is not the real problem. The issue is eugenics and how it is being used and has been used to fashion public policy in the United States. The British writer Angela Saini has reported how racial eugenics has been on the rise for years in her book Superior.

Saini would call the attacks on DEI and African people in general as “intellectual jumping through hoops to maintain the status quo. All this to prove what they have always really wanted to know: that they are superior.”

Yet, she has also said: “Well, keep reaching, keep reaching. One day there will be nothing left to reach for.

There is no genetic or biological determinant of intelligence. Being classified as “white” might or will give you an advantage in America…
