I'm sure Eric S Raymond will try to twist this into supporting his racist preconceptions and agenda.

"In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color." -Eric S Raymond

Oh the quotes! Same link [1],the next paragraph:

"A black man with an IQ of 85 and a white man with an IQ of 85 are about equally likely to have the character traits of poor impulse control and violent behavior associated with criminality — and both are far more likely to have them than a white or black man with an IQ of 110" -Eric S Raymond

Actually, I had never heard this quote before. I would say it is relevant and an interesting quote.

It is hard to call something classic if you censor it until it no is no longer seen, heard about, or known.
