Summary
The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart fIoat free of reality. Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.
What good can come of bringing them into the open? America’s most precious ideal is what used to be known as the American Creed: People are not to be judged by where they came from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or creed. They must be judged as individuals. The prevailing progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the state should judge people by their race, social origins, religion, sex, and sexual orientation.
We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences. Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality is a step in that direction.

An uncomfortable topic.
An extremely uncomfortable topic for any decent person but one that must be discussed and understood.
Murray is rational and based is fact. It is telling that non of his critics can confront him in the facts. They all play the man and not the ball.

Excellent review of the literature
Great concise review of the literature surrounding group differences in IQ, crime, and employment. Cannot recommend enough.

This should be a handbook for those of us who reject identity politics
An excellent up to date exposition of the literature. We should all carry this around in our top pocket (so to speak) so that we can draw on this knowledge to refute many of the common claims of the identity politics crowd. I’ve just ordered the hard cover. Human Diversity has a permanent place on my desk for this reason and this is the perfect companion. Thank you, Charles.

Reality may not be soft and fuzzy, but it still is
Not many fearless, truth at any cost writers left out there. Vast majority of social scientists wouldn't touch this issue with a 20ft pole out of fear and cowardice but here comes Murray and nails it straight on the head.

Truths people are too scared to speak
The west is racist against whites, here’s the proof. Colourblind meritocracy is the only way to run a society - we need to start saying that LOUDLY and OFTEN.
