TonyBrownsJournal.com presents “Race & Intelligence.” On this program, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing discusses with Tony Brown the 1994 book “The Bell Curve” by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, which argued for genetic differences in intelligence between racial groups.
Dr. Welsing condemned the book as a racist and pseudoscientific work that perpetuated harmful stereotypes, particularly the claim that Black people were “mentally inferior” to white people. In her critique, Welsing framed The Bell Curve as part of a broader pattern of racist lies and stereotypes embedded in mainstream science and policy. She argued that such studies ignored the social, economic, and historical forces—rooted in white supremacy—that shape outcomes like education and employment.
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing saw the 1995 book, The Bell Curve as a dangerous example of how pseudoscientific racism can be disguised as academic research, and she consistently opposed it as part of her lifelong advocacy for racial justice and Afrocentric perspectives.
