"James Watson—with whom, I should say, I have some slight personal acquaintance—is the world-famous, Nobel-prize-sharing geneticist who in 1953 co-discovered the structure of DNA. 
He went on to run Cold Spring Harbor lab near where I live on Long Island. 
After forty years of that, the lab sidelined him in 2007 for remarks he made about Africa and about blacks in general:

All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours whereas all the testing says not really…There's a natural desire that all human beings should be equal [but] people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.

In this new PBS documentary Watson doubled down:

There's a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. I would say the difference is, it's genetic.

Enter the weasels. 
Leading the weasel pack was science reporter Amy Harmon at the New York Times.[ James Watson Won’t Stop Talking About Race, January 1, 2019] 
Ms. Harmon had no difficulty bringing forth properly credentialed weasels to support her accusations of thoughtcrime against Watson: NIH Director Francis Collins [Email him]joined in with quite a blatant lie, as I noted in my piece two weeks ago.

...The black-white IQ gap is one of the most stable and best-supported facts in the human sciences. 
Its causes aren't definitively known, but that they arise from the laws of population genetics is a perfectly plausible hypothesis.

That's what scientists do, bring forth plausible hypotheses for other scientists to test. 

Sometimes rigorous testing disproves the hypothesis, which is then discarded..."
