Only months after Donald Trump Jr. floated Laura Loomer as a White House press secretary, Loomer used her platform on Rumble to launch into a half-hour long racist screed against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Somalians living in America, birthright citizenship, and Muslims. Loomer begun the show by referring to Rep. Omar as a “black dog” whose “district is literally Somalia,” and claimed that Omar’s constituents are "breeding like rabbits.”

    IQ by “race” discredits IQ (and biological determinism)

    Ask: what is a ‘black person’ or a ‘white person’, and you’ll find social categories, not biological ones. So, the fact that IQ consistently finds differences between these groups proves that it’s not a measure of biological quantity.

    It’d be like IQ testing showed that blondes really were dimmer than their peers, but the effect held for bottle blondes as well.

      I didn’t mean to imply those were the only problems with their racist bullshit, just that anybody should be able to see the deep flaws in it, even with no additional knowledge, long before they made it part of their abhorrent personality.
