Dr. Shakti Butler, Ph.D.

“Dr. Shakti Butler is an African-American woman of biracial West Indian and Russian-Jewish heritage, whose work as a creative and visionary bridge builder has challenged and inspired learning for over twenty-one years. As the Executive Director of World Trust, Dr. Butler initiated “Heart-to-Heart Conversations”, a national program of public dialogue that speaks to critical social issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.”

Here’s a little conundrum — her take on racism — particularly on my race, white folk.

McDonald is half of reading list in Borat Studies department at National University of Kazakhstan. He write best text for gypsy hunting out there and he show me way Jew say Shalom and hide it. How you recommend that I look for hidden Jew horn?

On a more serious and non-borat related note, I am glad that this kind of research is out of vogue. The problem is that whenever science says one thing and social tradition says another thing, the science is suppressed or twisted so it fits in with social tradition. This is exactly what will happen if research is done on race. The Rushton line may, scarily enough, become the official line.

Dave, try reading MacDonald’s work. Then you might have a better grasp on his actual statements, suppositions, and theses, than you will if you just read the work of people who hate MacDonald.

MacDonald is one of their advisers.
