I have no clue who he is and if he doesn't have an immediate correlation to the specific topic on the table, I don't care.
Phillipe Rushton (Now Deceased) was a
Canadian psychologist, and professor at western ontario university (canada's Yale)
Rushton was quoted by me, ONE time regarding an article which asserted that africa's incredibly low average IQ scores could be primarily attributed to chronic poor nutrition, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies (cretinism)
his conclusion was that sending cash aid to africa was pointless, since the cash would always wind up in the hands of the local corrupt officials or warlords, and instead, direct food aid was a better choice to help africa.
after that bucklefuckle proceeded to crawl all over rushton's CV, and was delighted to find a tidal wave of accusations of "That's Racist!!" from lefties of every stripe, based on ONE of his books (unrelated to the work cited) which were hurled at him through his later life, none of which were sufficient to cause western ontario univ to boot him, nor was he ejected from his position as a fellow at the canadian, US, and british psychological associations, nor did it stop him from continuing to publish in peer reviewed journals.
the "That's Racist!!" allegations are a tempest in a teacup
Phillipe Rushton, and his "That's Racist!!" baggage are a strawman, but those kinds of hysterical and baseless accusations are bucklefuckle's wheel house.
