DailyKenn.com — Bryan J. Pesta, a former tenured professor at Cleveland State University, has been fired. Pesta was labeled a racist after his scholarly research correlating race and intelligence was "exposed".

Race denial, the driver behind the rejection of intelligence disparities between races, creates cognitive dissonance in the minds of neo-Marxists (or, at least, it should) every time they use the word 'racism' or 'racist'. Those words imply the existence of race and race affirms the existence of disparities.
Mirriam-Webster defines race as "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry." What makes a person of a member of a particular race is his or her physical traits that are common among those of shared ancestry. To be a racist, then, is to dislike those with disparate physical ancestral traits. To accuse one of racism is to implicitly acknowledge those physical differences, including neurological differences that present as intelligence.
What to expect?
First, we can expect the far-left to obscure the definition of race. In the neo-Marxism lexicon, race will be defined as "an obscure, antiquated, and discredited belief that common physical traits existed among people of a shared ancestry."
Second, we can expect a continued purging of objective science from academia until "science" and Marxism are indistinguishable. This approach is common. Young-earth creationists, for example, claim that true science affirms creationism. Scientologists believe science debunks psychology. Climate change alarmists cite scientific studies that link cow farts to global warming.
Takeaways ...
• It seems the word 'racist' could often be read as 'realist.'
• Consigning scholars to academia's solitary confinement is more than mere punishment. It also serves as a warning to other scholars that offending core Marxist dogma has its repercussions. Even though science (and casual observation) overwhelmingly confirms racial variations, including neurological and psychological variations, few scholars will be bold enough to publish their findings due to the impending judgment.
• Blacks tend to fall behind economically due to the fact that, in the aggregate, they fall behind intellectually. That is anathema to left-wing fundamentalists who prefer to blame economic differences on social injustice to justify their aberrant Marxist ideology.
