Montagu called Shockley a racist--a charge Shockley denied, saying he is a "raceologist"--because "a racist is one who believes that there are significant biological differences in race that should determine sociological differences...
...always positioned himself as far away from the remainder of the black community as he possibly could. Acculturation accomodated this lifestyle quite well. Younger blacks have realized that the aloof professional is of no service to the community. Black students' commitments have been reaffirmed as blacks have penetrated racist blockades by collective effort held together by cultural solidarity. The elite that Kilson envisions is an aloof group that does not fit contemporary needs and therefore offers no attraction for students...
Shockley is also, besides being a megalomaniac, undeniably a racist. He claims he doesn't hate blacks, that he wants to make society better. Since blacks are less intelligent than whites, he says, they should be sterilized. Leaving aside the huge mass of questions that come up about his theories--Who says I.Q. tests are accurate?

Eugenics is sterilization of immigrants, of Jews in Germany, of black people in the U.S. today. Although Shockley's article uses racist logic to call for sterilization, eugenics measures affect white as well as blacks. Eugenics can be the spearhead of fascism as in Germany, where millions of Jews and non-Jews died in World...
