Quote from OPTIONAL777:
Studies going back over 50 years have repeatedly arrived at the same conclusion -- racists have lower IQs than non-racists. The average intelligence quotient (IQ) of all members of the human race is 100 on the Stanford-Binet scale, as illustrated in the bell curves in the figure below. The average IQ of racists is up to 4 IQ points less than this (Montagu 1952 & 1988, Allport 1946, Frenkel-Brunswick and Sanford 1945). The reasons this is true are not entirely clear. Does racism attract the unintelligent or do the unintelligent default into racist mentalities? An exploration of this phenomenon can be most informative.

I would have told you the same thing, there is nothing new here.
I will explain:
Your position is THE establishment position. Anyone who wants a career in business,politics, or academics must Genuflect to the emperor of PC or their livelihoods are at risk and their careers will be destroyed (in other words, nothing has changed, only what people must genuflect too).
Intelligent people have much more at risk in speaking out, because they have more opportunity in "the system". (Do you think the most intelligent people spent their time questioning communism in the USSR? No, they spent their time learning to work the system as it was and genuflecting before the status quo to increase their odds of success.
At the same time, Intelligent people are by and large 100% isolated from the real problems associated with diversity. It is only in the bottom half of society (so far) where the problems with diversity are creating havoc.
I spent most my life believing all the things you now preach. Why? I was a privileged ignoramus with little experience in with some things we call, "the real world". Simple as it is. My parents, friends, etc all had the established view. I only new the warm safety, and the moral haughtiness of "looking down" on those with primitive views. I would be that person to this day had reality not interjected.
Are you aware:
The era immediately preceding the current had the "intelligent elite" thinking the exact OPPOSITE of what they currently advocate? Darwin and the popularity in his theories had created a real interest in racial differences and the potential for population betterment, ie eugenics. You see this today with the way the wealthy support for planned parenthood. Abortion is the "back door" way they are trying to solve the problems they pretend not to see.
So in conclusion: Yes, today the people who see what I believe to be the truth are by and large a motley crew of disperate groups with little in common.
-Crime victims
-less intelligent who complete with blacks/non-whites for jobs
-Perhaps a manager who becomes disgusted when his hiring choice is overturned because the person is the wrong race
-Perhaps someone who witnessed a mass protest carried out by a different ethnic group, where anti-america and communist/socialist flags where carried by tens of thousands of non-whites
-A college student who realizes "something is wrong" when he find that all his humanities professors express profound hate for white people.
There are many little things that can shake ones senses, joggle ones world view, and lead to questioning what exactly the emperor is wearing (for those not born into a circumstance to see it their entire lives). I completely understand the other side, I was that idealist most my life. They say "a fool and his money are soon parted". Well, I would extend it: "a fool and his entire quality of life are soon parted if he turns a blind eye to reality".
