A few points that I think are important to make anytime conversation gets anywhere near the object level on this topic:
No one’s moral worth is determined by their performance on an IQ test
Black people face significant amount of adversity
This adversity explains a great deal of measured IQ disparities
IQ disparities have been used as an excuse to justify racism and to avoid properly addressing racism of all forms
Being told that a group you identify with has a lower than average IQ feels really shitty
With all that being said, is there any place at all for the object level question in our discourse? I don’t know.
Yes.
