Raceology: Dr. William Shockley Debates Dr. Frances Welsing on Race, and Dysgenics (1974)


    As I'm writing the very belated raceology blog anniversary post, which should have have happened over half of a year ago, I wanted to also post this video and to remember the Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. William Shockley, (February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989). He was the co-inventor of the transistor, which is used in all modern day computing, and electronic technology. He was a professor at Stanford, and at one point became very concerned with the problem of dysgenics in society.  He started to do research, and he found evidence that suggested that Blacks tend to be less intelligent than Whites on average, and that intelligence is largely hereditary.  He also found evidence to suggest that Blacks seem to have a higher rate of dysgenic fertility than Whites.  The graphic he liked to use showed that the fertility rate of rural and less educated Black females was much higher than that of the college educated Black females. This ratio for Blacks was significantly worse than what it was for Whites.

   Naturally, as expected he was rebuked for having these positions and I could probably write a few pages on some of what happened with him.  But instead I'll let him speak for himself here, when he got a chance to debate Dr. Frances Welsing, who had her own "unique" theory of genetics that was widely unaccepted, on an African American TV program.

   I should also point out of where the term "raceology" used on this blog comes from, well it's Dr. Shockley!  Raceology. n. A scientific analysis of racial differences. Before I knew of the research of Dr. Rushton, and Dr. Lynn, or Dr. Jensen I was fascinated by Dr. Shockley and his theories of dysgenics, and racial differences. It was through his work in part that I came to read more of the modern research into racial science. So there you have it, the name and word raceology, comes from Dr. Shockley.  Enjoy the video!





Note: the video is not on my YouTube channel but someone else's.

  13 Fascinating Scientific Facts About Blue Eyes Story by Amanda Gardner  •  2w   Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue. It works a lot like individual  fingerprints , making our eyes two of the most distinctive parts of us. The color of your eyes is really the color of your iris, the ring that surrounds the black pupil in the middle of your eye. Unlike some other  inherited traits  (like the color of your hair), eye color typically doesn’t change naturally throughout your life. Sure, it can appear to vary depending on the external light source, but the pigment shouldn’t fluctuate (if your eyes do seem to change color, see a specialist). But your eyes aren’t just a pretty feature of your face. They can provide surprising insight into your personality, health status and where you came from in the big story of human history. We talked to three expertsdoctors and researchers with a deep und...

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Site Aims and Rules

Raceology . n. " A scientific analysis of racial differences."  William Shockley Hello, and welcome. The purpose of this site is to explore racial science, race realism, race relations, and ethnography. Unfortunately these issues are shunned by both the mainstream media, and academia, and too often when controversial perspectives are presented they are done so from a supremacist, or extremely distorted and not a  race realist  perspective.  This site aims to present a factual, and fair representation of races, and race differences, though obviously based on the idea that not all groups are equal in their abilities, and not all societies are equal in terms of fairness, and liveability, what is said of some races, ethnicities, and societies and countries may be less flattering than what is said of others. I will try to keep everything presented based either on factual well-researched data, unless it is an opinion piece which may be composed more of anecdotal...
