[Richard Nixon] may be the first and only Head of State that publicly acknowledged Race & IQ differences, and was even set towards governing the United States based on this science.

One small nit-pick. This is a leaked recording from the Watergate tapes. Unfortunately Nixon privately acknowledged race and IQ differences but for political reasons kept it to himself. In this conversation he is talking in confidence to a close personal advisor and never expected the public to hear the tapes.

A fascinating recording of a 1971 conversation between President Richard Nixon and his advisor, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, was recently released. [...] It shows that both Nixon and Moynihan knew about group differences in IQ, and fully understood their policy implications.

Goes to show how similar things were even in a culture many think was dominated by chauvinistic whites. Interestingly enough another topic oft discussed by Nixon on the tapes is Jews, their power and the destructive impact they were having on American life. Nixon however makes the remark that though he knows these things about Jews he could 'never say it'.

That's why I find it so amusing when especially alt-lite types have a go at people who discuss the jq but use handles to shield their identity. If one of the most popular presidents of the 20th century can't discuss these things out in the open then who can?
