He won a Nobel for deciphering the structure of DNA but his views on ‘race’, ‘public policy’ and ‘intelligence’ aren’t so enlightening- Harini has some advice for Dr.James Watson:
Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.Maybe, james watson and his ilk will be better of figuring whether it is race that makes the powerful nations & corporations interfere in the affairs of African countries, perpetuating civil war across the board….. or is it pure selfishness….And maybe, just maybe, if this question is answered and peace comes to the continent as a whole… and children can grow up without drought, civil war, rape, hunger, poverty, destruction and a constant battle to survive…. then maybe, we can figure whether it is nature, nurture or third thing…..At this point of time you cannot compare someone living in peace with basic physical & emotional security taken care of…..with someone who isn’t….. It is basic bad science… be it social science or physical science.


As long as someone can prove/ substantiate their statements with facts, they are justified. he doesn’t even seem to be doing that.
i think that he has delivered an apology….but the apology does not make the core issue go away… which is this
why is it that 60 years after the supposed end of colonization — the bulk of the African continent is still a battle ground for a variety of ‘colonial’ interests….
in that sense i am totally glad that India has no major reserves of valuable products - like diamonds, gold, oil…. if we had..we too would be in the African zone..of development
This is what ‘confessions of a dangerous mind’-intellectuals like Dr Watson are real terrorists.
