Hey! I just commented on Steve Sailer's website.

To quote the immortal Keanu:

WHOA.

As observed in the wild, the key to successful predation is sizing up the prey. It is not the black and white stripes on the young zebra that draw the attention of the lion, it is its easy-to-overpower size.

I've shopped for cars. Never once did I leave my home without considering my how my appearance and demeanor might be interpreted by a salesperson. No flashy watch or stylish jacket -- no sense in getting them salivating. Instead, I dressed like dad did for the hardware store. I'm not an idiot. I realized that I was about to enter a killing zone; that I would be sized up, circled, and, if I let my guard down, devoured.

Like anything else, your skin color will be an issue only if you let it. Go in fully informed, with your weakest impulses in check, and ready to run for your life. That's how you even the odds and get what you want without losing your hide.

Steve Sailer - so much to say...so little intelligence, understanding and empathy...

Because of you, we need to dig in and work a little harder to make the work less racist, less hateful and less narrow-minded. It's OK; we're up to the task.

So many insults, so few facts.

I don't buy this Front Page excuse. I think Steve didn't turn comments on because he knew he was going to have 50 comments like anonymous's on every post once people realized they could sling mud at him.

The dude's got enemies. Just give 'em a little time...

Give 'em a little time and all the enemies will look like idiots.

The blacks are dumb. Plain and simple. Their worship of "bling bling" is the reason they over-pay at car dealerships. No nead to sugar-coat it.

The average negro has an IQ of less than 85. You do the math.

P.S. I am not racist; I just state the facts. Those "PC" types who don't like it can go to hell.

Saying people are 'just stupid' is one of the easiest ways to avoid trying to understand them. While I don't necessarily buy Sailer on genetic origins of the black-white IQ gap, he does seem to try to understand the other guy's point of view most of the time.

Sailer, you're sort of like Hitler--evil, and with a pack of people worse off because of you.

Look at some of these posts. Awful.

So if a black man wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase walked in, you would read him as ostentatious and quote him a higher price, just because he is black?

I suppose all Arabs should be racially profiled as well...

And there is no logical connection between skin color and a desire to spend more money. Do blacks in Africa wish to spend more money on cars? In England? Jamaica? What about Brazil?

I think this is the gist of why Gladwell finds such arguments to be so "obviously" racist because they otherwise make no sense. He doesn't look down on his readers, he assumes they are thoughtful and intellectually honest.
