Albert Himoe cites Philip Rushton as the only support for his claim that  
"it is by now well established that blacks have on average lower intelligence  
than whites." Rushton's "research" (including his obsession about an  
inverse relationship between intelligence and penis size across races) is  
generally viewed as completely discredited. Tenure and academic freedom  
mean that Rushton, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario,  
can continue to present his views, but there is no reason for anyone  
else to take them seriously, let alone treat them as "facts" that are  
"well established."
