In these times when all religions are taking downward path to ignoramus, let us strictly adhere to debating path forward on our existential crisis. You do not even need to highlight which person suddenly found science out of the planted darkness. Just move on.
There is no time for being religious, atheist, deists, kapitalist, socialist or communist whatever-ist. Got a solution- speak up. Don’t? Shut up

If more Black People are allowed to create the Tests that drive the SATS the GRE The GMATs then that Bias will show in the Grades and Scores.

Despite the Racial Divide People of Colour still get High Scores on the SATS and other Standardised Tests.

In Ghana we have the BECE and the WASSCE and other School exams.It would seem that it is not every Person who doses well in School that makes it in Business.

The underlining Racism must come to an end in Academic Circles.Lest we forget that All human Beings are somewhat intelligent and capable.

In 1994 a certain Mr Williams in my Adolescence assumed that only White People have a Higher IQ than Other Groups

The Book was called the Bell Curbe and it was very Controversial in its Opening Year.

It is still in Print and has moral outrage.

However I digress however in GRE LSAT and GMAT people of Colour do score quite well compared to SATs,

The most Racist white People want to claim White Supremacy and that is morally Wrong.

I challenge white People to think otherwise.Besides it is like saying all Black people can run the 100 Metres in under 9.85 Seconds.

We now know that all abilities be it Musical Theatrical ability Athletic Ability is Gof Given.Let us make sure the Debate s moot and placed down the black and white debate

African’s have talented People like other Races in other Parts of the World.

Namely, Peter “Humanisticus” Ferguson, EVAPod (can’t recall his proper name), and Thomas “SeriousPod” Smith.

This is a familiar pattern with some of the obsessive haters of “New Atheists”. They are very happy to chum with some very shady, abusive, trollish, and antisemitic individuals on social media. Never forget that one of the most ardent gatekeepers, Steve Shives, once liked a tweet (from a ranting and racist Farrakhan fan account) that mocked Maajid Nawaz after he was physically assaulted by a racist thug.

Anyway, no surprise that Salon publishes hacks such as Torres. It went down the drain years ago.
