        Cultural group selection is alive and well. Don't just take my word for it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233580841_Evolution_Psychology_and_a_Conflict_Theory_of_Culture … Pete Richerson has as excellent rebuttal to Pinker: https://www.edge.org/conversation/steven_pinker-the-false-allure-of-group-selection#22471 … See also DS @David_S_Wilson's reply to @sapinker

        Protecting low iq whites and harming high iq blacks how exactly?

        Well, if it's racial segregation they're going for then it's precisely that, unless they're telling low IQ whites they can't join them, which I somehow doubt.

        How exactly does low iq whites being segregated from high iq blacks hurt either party?

        It's meant to hurt blacks if white racists are determined to compete with other races for resources and reduce humanity back to gorilla savagery & competition between groups.

        Yeah but how does separating two groups hurt only one and not the other? How exactly does it hurt them? Also, isn't existence in and of itself based on competition for access to resources?

        I already said, that if you're for segregation, you are also likely to view the other groups as enemies. Read their stuff. If they don't mean to hurt them then why do racists use racial iq stats to support their position?

        Better whiten up South Africa fast. The daily machete attacks on white farmers are really hurting blacks.
