Times worried that DNA research to falsely validate bigotry Digg this.
Tironius posted this story Thursday, November 15, 2007

A New York Times piece on how DNA research will add false validity to the racist’s stance. A black woman working in the research field doesn’t like the implications:

“Renata McGriff, 52, a health care consultant who had been encouraging black clients to volunteer genetic information to scientists, said she and other African-Americans have lately been discussing ‘opting out of genetic research until it’s clear we’re not going to use science to validate prejudices.’”

One thing about this article made me laugh: Renata—not to mention the author—assumes the results of the scientific study of the black genome will end up to be negative to people’s perception of the minority group, that results will identify blacks as being dumber, and not that blacks will be shown to have twenty more I.Q. points than the average Asian. Show a little faith, Renata. Don't let statistics (1) get you down.

Night With BG

So I looks around, to see if it’s clear.
Then I says, “damn girl, it’s gettin hot in here.”
