    I’m not sure what else you call someone who promotes the idea that black people have lower IQ’s than white people, and that it’s on a genetic level that this is true.

    It was when he started spouting this idea that I stopped listening to his podcast personally.

    I could look past the anti Muslim stuff because, at the end of the day, he was still targeting an ideology, not a race (although it is kind of a dogwhistley one, I’m also anti religion so I was willing to look past it.)

    But I’m curious as to how you can defend the belief that black people are genetically inferior to white people, and how you can see it as anything but white supremacy. Unless you just didn’t know he was about this, which is understandable. I was shocked personally when he started talking about it on his show years ago because it didn’t seem like his MO.
