A few days ago I blogged about the manufactured scandal against Richard Feynman
The persecution or witch hunt of accomplished white male scientists appears to be in open season!
This appears to have become a very dangerous obsession by left wing fanatics to scandalize or attack scientists this way!
I became aware of this latest witch hunt, this time against Nobel prize winner James Watson (90 years old) by reading this hyperventilating article in what was once a leading, decent, conservative German newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: KOMMENTAR ZUM GEN-RASSISMUS : Die letzten Reste einer Jahrhundert-legende (Commentary on gene racism: The last remains of a legend of a century)
Once you Google “james watson dna racism” you will quickly discover there are a number of articles out there published by the usual left wing culprits e.g.:
- DNA pioneer stripped of honors over 'reprehensible' race comments (CNN, 1/14/2019)
I did not have the time to research the details of the accusations against James Watson. However, even a cursory glance at the accusations reveals that they are blown out of proportion compared to the lifetime achievement of this scientist. These accusations are willfully amplified, presented out of context, and distorted to character assassinate this scientist.
Yes, it is probably true that James Watson made some controversial statements about genes and intelligence, religion, and sexuality, but this goes way too far!
These attacks on late Richard Feynman and now James Watson are clearly and unmistakably attempts by sanctimonious and self righteous fanatics to silence scientists who do not conform to dogmatic views!
This is very serious stuff and needs to be quickly disposed into the dustbin of history!
