Why Focus on "Antiquarianism?"

 Steve, it seems like you’re taking the wrong approach with this whole subject.

Wouldn’t it be more conformable with the overall thrust of your blog to say that the Flexner Report, in imposing uniform standards which most black students and most black medical schools failed to meet, simply highlighted the inherent differences between the races? It seems like most race-realists would view it that way.

Flexner addressed this situation by proposing a two-tiered medical system with a separate standard for blacks that it was possible for them both to master and to afford, since the white tier was unapproachable and unaffordable for most of them. Thus, it actually provided a means for them to get the best medical care they could acquire on their own. Again, this is just the kind of compassionate separation that most sane race-realists advocate for.

Thus, it is strange to me that you would not take up this obvious piece of HBD-bait and instead talk about “antiquarianism” when: 1) You aren’t even using the word correctly; and 2) The point you are making, even had you chosen the correct word to make it with, is a completely irrelevant tangent.

“Antiquarianism” just means the study of old things. It does not mean an occultic belief that old things have more potency than present things. The Flexner report, however, actually does have a great deal of potency; for better or worse, it more or less created the modern medical system in which blacks are, for entirely race-realist reasons, underrepresented.

For you not to notice any of this does not seem much like “noticing,” frankly.
