    I did a response further up, but if you want here is an amazing article by one of Voxes editors that goes into full detail about how Sam Harris defended and amplified the extremely white supremacists idea that black people have lower IQs than white people. And how after being challenged as such he run away like a coward.

    It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s that he is a racist asshole that thinks white people are superior.

        It’s not the anti Muslim stuff that bothers me, Although in hindsight it’s probably just a dog whistle to be anti Arabian.

        It’s his belief that black people, as well as other races, are genetically inferior to white people, and have lower IQ’s than white people just inherently.

        He is one of those low key scammers. Also sorry if I sounded confrontational I wrotee the post thinking I had linked an article in my first post and I did not. Thanks for calling me out.
