I honestly think that the title of this thread is offensive. If the man who came up with this garbage is white then he has just proved the inaccuracy of his case, as he is clearly an idiot.

�If you could detect it pre-natally, could a woman abort a child who was homosexual? I said they should have the right to, because most women want to have grandchildren, period. We can�t do it, but it�s common sense. Anyways,� he says, shaking his head wearily, �it was a bad day when that headline hit. I was just arguing for the freedom of women to try and have the children they want, not what is right or wrong.�

The above quote is from the same guy, James Watson, who along with Crick, discovered the double helix DNA molecule. Obviously a dedicated scientist - but that doesn't stop him shouting his mouth off about things he doesn't understand. He's in his 80s and it shows.

The fact that Fox News picked out the white clever, blacks not, drivel just shows their own bias, because if you look up the original 2007 article, in the London Sunday Times,you'll see he said a whole heap of inflammatory nonsense. For example - you should genetically modify females so that all girls are pretty. He is obviously focused on science to the detriment of sociology, ethics and common sense.

He also said this - always have a good story, and never be the brightest in the room. Looks like he's got both of those covered!!!

Thank you m'dear! smile

I know it's black (!) humour, but when I re-read my post, I must admit it made me laugh too. But then - what can you do in the face of bigotry and ignorance? Have a good laugh - oh, after making sure you know what you're talking about, which is why I went back to the original article (and this thread is two years old) to see what the old man was blathering on about.

He made world history when he discovered the shape of the DNA molecule - though there was some controversy about who did it first. That doesn't make him an expert on anthropology, the nature of human intelligence and social dynamics/ethics. If you read the article he is clearly a boffin - clever in his own field but beyond that racist, homophobic and sexist. Nice!

Also so much of social interaction depends on politics and quite honestly, prevalent fashion. Maybe he needs to keep up with the times. (As well as the Times!!).

Yo, innit!!! wall
