This one takes the cake for pseudoscientific claptrap. Ready? Here we go. Conservapedia’s “African Americans” article (because “Calling them Negroes is just uncouth.” – emphasis mine) ends thusly:

Intelligence
A gap in IQ scores of 12 to 18 points (compared with whites and Asians) has been variously attributed to innate ability (see Eugenics) or to the cultural and educational legacy of slavery. For a scientific treatment, see The Bell Curve.

Yes, they’re referring to Herrnstein and Murray’s The Bell Curve.

“Negroes”, though, pops up in the creationist silliness:

• Apobaramin: An apobaramin is a group of holobaramins. Humans and Dogs are an apobaramin since both members are holobaramins. A group containing Negroes and wolves is not an apobaramin since both members are monobaramins.

Yes, they really are equating race with subspecies. Contrast this to the Wikipedia “Race” article:

Many physical anthropologists have concluded that H. sapiens was polytypic in the past (H. sapiens neandertalensis, now extinct, having been a subspecies of H. sapiens). All human beings now alive, however, are regarded as belonging to the same subspecies: Homo sapiens sapiens – in effect, H. sapiens is now monotypic.

and to the Wikipedia “Subspecies” article:

In zoology, the scientific name of a subspecies is the binomen followed immediately by a subspecific name, e.g. Homo sapiens sapiens. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th edition, 2000) does not attempt to codify any “infrasubspecific entities” (e.g. human races or pet breeds).

Conservapedia’s “Slavery” article also takes excruciating pains to establish the Biblical permissibility of owning other humans.

“Slavery” is also referenced, permitted and regulated in the Bible. The Hebrew word ebed is translated as “slave” or “servant”, but the concept is not the same as the modern understanding of “slave”. It included “persons in subordinate positions” Therefore “all the subjects of Israel and Judah are called slaves of their kings“. [emphases in the original]

Additionally, the Bible teaches that all property belongs to God, with mankind responsible for looking after it for God.

Some biblical passages mentioning slavery are:

[lists ten passages]

The Old Testament alone, prior to New Testament considerations, broadly prohibits the permanent enslavement of the native inhabitants of Israel but permits the enslavement of immigrants and the occupants of other countries. Depending on the precise circumstances, ethnicity, nationality and any enslaved relatives of a slave, some must be freed after a specified time, while others remain slaves for life. Though physical violence to slaves is permitted, murder is not.

What this says about ideologically-driven education and the prospects for American conservatism, you tell me.
