In his newest book, Charles Murray fearlessly states two
controversial truths about the American population: American
whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime
rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability.
If we aim to navigate public policy with wisdom and realism, these
realities must be brought into the light. "Facing Reality provides
a powerful overview of one perspective that those who allege
sweeping forms of systemic or institutional racism find it all to
convenient to ignore or cancel without due consideration." Wilfred
Reilly, Commentary "Facing Reality is a bold, important book which
should be widely read and discussed." Amy L. Wax, Professor of Law
at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, for the Claremont
Review of Books The charges of white privilege and systemic racism
that are tearing the country apart float free of reality. Two known
facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be
brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about
public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have
different violent crime rates and different means and distributions
of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing,
college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and
promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems
that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these
two realities. What good can come of bringing them into the open?
America's most precious ideal is what used to be known as the
American Creed: People are not to be judged by where they came
from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or
creed. They must be judged as individuals. The prevailing
Progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that
the state should judge people by their race, social origins,
religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We on the center left and
center right who are the American Creed's natural defenders have
painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say
openly that different groups have significant group differences.
Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left
defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else
could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality
is a step in that direction.
