During Garvey’s heyday in the early 20th century, people believed that races were biologically and culturally distinct entities and that the Negro race was inferior to all other races. he accepted the racial essentialism of his times but unflinchingly took on any and all claims of racial inferiority, calling on all blacks worldwide to dedicate themselves to uplifting their race. This was Garvey’s greatest genius: identifying the similarities between the struggles of the black people on different continents and unifying them in opposition to their common foe of racial oppression...

...Andrew, I’m a little disappointed that on MLK [day] you are saying we should ‘discuss’ why women are inherently inferior to men in math and science.

From history to philosophy, anti-black propaganda took root, and black worth withered. This system of education festered on the grounds of educational authority, so it was difficult to perceive the negative effect of this system for blacks...

...fairness to Summers, it is important to set the record straight: He did not claim that women are inherently inferior to men in math and science skills as popular perception seems to have it. At a conference on women and minorities in science and engineering, Summers listed some possible explanations for why only a small number of women excel at elite levels of scientific study, and one of the theories he cited states that women have an innate disadvantage in math and science aptitude. As far as we can tell, he was not espousing his own beliefs, but merely listing...
