Obviously topics on race need to be covered carefully and sensitively given the destructive history of race, science and politics. However, it still should be covered, investigated and the facts accepted.

Sadly, in today's environment, science that conflicts with certain agenda have become blasphemy. It's reminiscent of the anti-science and anti-intellectual days of geocentrism and the catholic church. It's amazing how one of the great scientists of our time has been "excommunicated" and attacked mercilessly for his blashphemy. The strange thing is that the media is using racism themselves to attack the guy.

How does that relate to this article?

In your assessment, are Watson's claims about race well supported by good science?
