Wikipedia Cruelly Silences Racist Speech

This is a response to:


Again with the nonsense...

Just a couple of examples:

Rushton was a racist who took money from a fund (and later become president of the fund before his death) that was founded by a racist who hated desegregation and wanted to prove that Black people were "inferior" by claiming his beliefs were backed by "science" (pro-tip: nope). The founder of the fund (which itself spread a pro-eugenics film) even had a trip to Nazi Germany, a jolly time reportedly being had by all.

Charles Murray cited "sources" that were known racists and eugenics.

There's a little cabal of racist "scientists" all writing in the same journals, reviewing one another, etc. just as there is with "global warming skepticism" and "gender critical feminism".
