520 "The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that
are tearing the country apart fIoat free of reality. Two
known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt,
need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the
way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks,
Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates
and different means and distributions of cognitive
ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college
admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and
promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the
problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism
are driven by these two realities. What good can come of
bringing them into the open? America's most precious ideal
is what used to be known as the American Creed: People are
not to be judged by where they came from, what social
class they come from, or by race, color, or creed. They
must be judged as individuals. The prevailing Progressive
ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the
state should judge people by their race, social origins,
religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We on the center
left and center right who are the American Creed's natural
defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have
been unwilling to say openly that different groups have
significant group differences. Since we have not been
willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against
the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be?
We have been afraid to answer. We must. "Reality Check" is
a step in that direction"--|cProvided by publisher.
