Max, I noted with amusement that your profile admits that "[you] too find much of [your] writing incomprehensible." I'm genuinely trying to understand the "subtle parts of your argument." You're just not making much sense. Or let's be more generous and say I'm having a lot of trouble following you.

For example, you claim you didn't say that black people should "accept" the finding that black people have lower IQs, but here's a direct quote fro your reply:

"However, the issue is important because without it whites still believe blacks have lower IQ! That's why I argued blacks should accept those findings so they can win the argument through appeal, so to speak."

Do you see how this might be confusing?

But anyway, in answer to your final question, no. I don't think black people should be released from prison until their proportion matches the general population. I think people who are in prison on bogus charges or for minor crimes should be released from prison.

I believe I'm right in saying that doing this would free a disproportionately high number of black people. But I don't think black people should be given any preferential treatment because they have black skin. I don't think black people (or any people) need any special allowances.

The fact that black people are disproportionately represented in prison points to a number of social, cultural and institutional issues, all of which I think should be dealt with urgently. If those efforts are successful, I'd expect to see the proportions of black people in prison fall (along with the prison population as a whole). But artificially manufacturing that parity would, I think, be a serious moral and societal mistake.
