Einstein thought blacks were intellectually inferior, should we disregard the theory of relativity? No, because that would be idiotic. Same with Watson's achievements. Whatever his views his contributions contributed to our understanding of biology, it should not be taken away.
And he was right.
Shame! F political correctness
dont sensationalize this he was only striped of his HONORARY titles at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory so leave the 90 year old man who is a genius among morons who write these articles... alone
We can put an asterisk next to his name forever, right?
It's not about his 'views' it's the fact that he falsified evidence to support his 'views'. Also known as 'lying'.
Thief & creep.
It is shameless to use political correctness to suppress scientist.If race can determine athletic talent, why not IQ?
WideAwake782638 Any talk about genes is racist. It'd be a better world if we just forgot about this man's discovery and lived all as one race, the subhuman race.
He falsified the data. No one cares about his 'views' - he lost his award because he's a liar and a shit scientist. Sort out your wording.
We all in the human species. Most people are good at something. Like dogs. Bulldogs are not the best retrievers. Retrievers are not as fast as whippets. Border Collies are not that great in snow as huskies
Objectively, James Watson and Francis Crick discover,the DNA’s double helix structure. Regardless of the background participation of many other scientists, work not well known that make possible, in 1953 reach the ground breaking conclusion of the threedimentional DOUBLEhelix.
WideAwake782638 Scientist makes comments going against the state religion, gets punished
Scientist loses honors over views on science.
Since when speaking about any race make you racist? Should any religious scientist be removed from all titles because a belief? If a belief, right or wrong, is not based on “scientific” facts, shouldn’t all religious scientists be removed from all their titles to?
I think what is being missed in all of this is that he is actually right.
Oh wow who would have guessed that the guy who broke into Rosalind Franklin's lab and stole her research to present as his own would turn out to be an asshole
The firmness of his belief make me to think that there is a bunch of ears which pay attention to him.
Que Suplicy tá fazendo aí .
God made us all wonderfully and fearfully. Its a shame when racial superiority raises its ugly, Godless head.
skirchy Here’s what happens when even the scientific process gets weapononised by unthinkers and vitriolic politics.. it’s like the Spanish Inquisition.. or 1984... can we all just pause when contrary opinions are voiced and not let out hair get on fire.. and calmly evaluate their worth?
Actually it was Rosalind Franklin that first photographed the structure of DNA in 1951. Watson and Crick used her work.
think you meant to write ‘DNA discoverer’. You’re welcome.
Clearly people of West African origin have a genetic advantage when it comes to sprinting. Same for East Africans and distance running. There is evidence that IQ differs by race. To deny that is foolish in the extreme.
Good news.
YIKES!! 😐
Racist discriminatory comments is not science. He should have retired before becoming a bigot.
We often look back at previous generations and wonder 'How could you do that'? You might not like or agree with this man's views, but he is partly responsible for one of the most important discoveries of all time and his honours have been removed by someone with half his brains.
Give them to Rosalind Franklin
The man lived through Jim Crow but can’t see how environmental factors such as systemic, government sponsored discrimination changes anything... He just doesn’t want to see.
Good! Just because you're some hot shot doesn't give you the right to cook up some crap about how your whiteness makes you superior.
This guy is openly racist despite absolutely no scientific backing, loses honors over it, and you people still find a way to insist that this is some sort of free speech issue, and PC culture is silencing him. Reactionaries ain’t shit
Politically correct fascism in action.
90 year old man in nursing home makes racist comment.
PC enters the world of science!!!
The New fascism is political corectness
Discoverer you mean?
Poor chap ... what a huge shame to punish this man & his brilliant mind!
A truth that cannot be questioned probably isn't really true.
