Black Intrapolitics: I'm going back to ignoring LaShawn

Ms Barber, in a post consisting of naked assertions of Black biologically based inferiority of intelligence, promised two additional posts in the series: there was to be a discussion of "research" which purports to support her naked assertions (they were non-peer reviewed white papers, not research). And

In the third post, I’ll consider your responses and the general conclusions of the studies. I’ll blog about possible solutions to the problem, how to raise test scores, and anything new and interesting I uncover from additional studies and your comments.
This third post hasn't shown up yet.

What has shown up was this:
I assume many of you know immigrants who came to America with very little but managed to achieve the American dream. And I’m sure many of you are as baffled as I am that people born and raised in this great country really believe their skin color prevents them from doing the same.
No one believes their skin color prevents them from doing a damn thing.

People know other folks respond to their skin color in ways that handicap the person under consideration. People know those responses are invalid, and they want protection from thos invalid reactions.

Again. No one...

NO one...

...believes their skin color makes them less capable in the slightest.

(Prometheus, the first link currently points to the Mfume For Senate homepage instead of Barber's first post.)

Okay, I have no idea how that happened. But I fixed it, thanks.

I stopped being able to go to her site a couple years ago. I don't think she is wrapped too tight!

Before this short interval, I think I could count the number of times I've read her site on my fingers and toes. But she's pretty skilled in developing and delivering her particular product.

Part of the product, by the way, is visible outrage. It's like the cherry on your sundae.
