In this 1996 speech at the American Renaissance conference, the late psychologist J. Philippe Rushton said: “Christopher Brand is a professor of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He published a book about four months ago called The G Factor. It’s a all about intelligence. It is a watered down version, a gentle version of The Bell Curve, much milder than The Bell Curve. Published by John Wylie & Sons. It was published three months ago and it had sales of about 500 copies and then there was a press conference by Wylie to support Chris Brand’s sale of the book.
“At the press conference, Chris Brand was asked about the black white [IQ] differences. He said sure, there were differences in IQ points and most people believe it is mainly genetic. The newspaper said, ‘Doesn’t that make you a scientific racist?’ Chris Brand said, ‘If you want to define a scientific racist as someone who believes in black/white differences being genetic, then I guess I am.’ The next day there were newspaper headlines, ‘I am proud to be a scientific racist.’
“The Scottish nationalist members of parliament who are trying to split Scotland away from Britain were the first people to denounce Christopher Brand.”
“Wylie New York decided to recall the book and they overruled Wylie UK. As far as we know, there has never been a scientific book pulled by its publisher after it has been published for a long period of time.”
