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.
