[H/T: Last 3xit]
Steve Sailer writes ...
[D]uring the recent “racial reckoning,” many Americans seemed utterly ignorant for purposes of public policy discussion of two fundamental facts of American sociology: that blacks tend to commit more serious crimes per capita and that they average lower in intelligence.

And yet, absolutely nothing suggested that they had forgotten these unfortunate realities when it came to their own private lives. White urbanite liberals in 2020 didn’t suddenly move to low-rent neighborhoods because they realized that their fears of crime were just a racist delusion, nor did they enroll their children in low-test-score schools because only racists think that the racial makeup of a school affects how fast the teachers can cover the material.

During the mostly peaceful George Floyd protests, metropolitans instead tended to move to small towns and suburbs, reversing the urbanization trend of the lower-crime early 2000s.
