Abstract
For over a half-century there has been a concerted effort to demonize racia l research. In spite of the hate propaganda's success at slowing research, a remarkably large body of research findings has accumulated. Much of this research is now motivated by concern over disparate health outcomes for ind ividuals of various races. Of particular concern is the suffering in the bl ack community, arguably exacerbated by the attempts to stifle meaningful ra ce research. Findings concerning race differences, including evidence consi stent with genetic incompatibilities ("disharmonious combinations") from bl ack x white hybridization, are here considered in the context of modem raci al classification.
