high standards and low standards

In the most general sense, the difference between first-world countries and third-world countries is that first-world countries are high-standards countries while third-world countries are low-standards countries. This is particularly true when it comes to intellectual standards, which are the most important standards of all.

anti-antiracism

This antiracism seminar in Seattle is absolutely crazy.

 This is a good argument for doing away with these racial and ethnic categories altogether. They seem increasingly anachronistic and artificial anyway. The significant differences between people, really, are not racial or ethnic, but socioeconomic and cognitive. If one is thinking about poor black people, the operative word is poor, not black. Nobody cares about middle-class black people; they’re doing just fine. On the other hand, if you care about poor black people, you also care about poor white, yellow, and brown people.

here's the problem

I have seen this exchange categorized as The Single Dumbest Thing Ever to Appear on the Internet. It's between known idiot and MSNBC anchor Brian Williams and Mara Gay, who's on the New York Times editorial board. (Can you say, 'Affirmative Action Hire,' class?)

This is the problem. There are too many low-intelligence people in this country, and too many of them are in positions of power or influence. We need fewer low-intelligence people and more high-intelligence people, particularly people with a high level of mathematical-logical ability.
