Environment is also highly heritable and yet he pits the two factors against each other.

AAVE is not a strictly racial category, it's not like some people are predisposed to speak it due to their skull shape or whatever. It's social chauvinism to misappropriate a dialect that isn't one you were socialized into, but there are white people who are socialized into AAVE, African Americans who are not socialized into AAVE, and also, rarely, uses of it that aren't misappropriation (e.g. linguistic studies, to use the safest possible example).

When you are saying that intelligence is mostly genetically heritable and that black people have hereditarily lower intelligence, but you aren't saying they are genetically inferior or anything racist like that blob-no-thoughts

The authors imply some sicko shit beyond this, but "black people are genetically inferior" is plainly what the text says in overt fashion.

Stalin wearing all that jewelry and especially a gold watch is revisionist as fuck, tbh. I much prefer our own version stalin-gun-1 stalin-gun-2 or at least stalin-comical-spoon

You and DayOfDoom should become a comedy duo. I hear they still have those in Japan and apparently China. Looks like the Japanese tradition is more of a straight man/funny man setup while the Chinese one (Xiangsheng) isn't necessarily. Honestly it looks like the sort of thing that could be good motivation for learning Mandarin . . .

They are like Pez but without the dispenser gimmick (and disk-shaped)

But if looking is rude, you might get looked at more because they dislike you, right?
