Lots of great comments to be read. I'm going to dumb down the conversation a bit by trying to remove the layers of analysis of McWhorter’s post. In its current state, the left liberals have succumbed to the worldview that if two bodies, bodies meaning race, gender, nations, and so on, exist in close proximity, a fault must be found to explain any disparities in success or prosperity. The knee-jerk reaction is always the same. Observe and react only in a way that discounts the obvious choices that have led to the disparities. In other words, blame the prosperous first, investigate later, maybe. That's not to say groups are never subjugated by others. Just not always.
Hypothetically, if Hamas was eliminated and the Palestinians were each given $250,000 dollars, I would bet in 10 years they would be in the same boat. Maybe it's them. Let's not lower the bar for cause.
