Because there are no instances in history where science was used to prove the superiority of certain races.

People are mentally superior because of their upbringing and resources. Not because of the color of their skin. This is some ignorant crap right here. You've been huffing too many balloons


Calling someone ignorant while simultaneously displaying major ignorance. Liberal much?

As others have said, you probably should have done some research before showing off your hurt little feelings.

Try this --- look up the differences in brain composition posthumous. Depth and smoothness of the fissures. Or what about the 10's of MILLIONS of IQ tests done in every country and every language.

Get back at me with your research....

How is a hard-coded higher IQ based on the color of your skin not superiority? By definition I think that is a bit hard to argue.



Not hard-coded - just a general trend. The same as any other factor - physical characteristics, mental disposition, etc.,

Well, that puts you apart from many leftists.

Most left wing people lose their shite and start screaming racism at the top of their lungs the second anybody starts trying to discuss negative or destructive aspects of black culture in America.

Specifically

-Attitude towards education
-Attitude towards children out of wedlock
-Celebration of guns, drugs, violence as somehow 'keeping it real'

etc.

Studies like that don't prove anything. They simply build confidence. I'd like to hear more about these studies. How old were the kids when they were adopted?


Read The Bell Curve. It's only 865 pages and I'm not going to dig through my copy to find the page you want.

I am merely stating that there are numerous posts in this thread openly asserting racial supremacy.
I don't get that.

We all fall over ourselves to congratulate blacks for being superior in certain areas.

But when you suggest any area where blacks might not be superior, it suggests white supremacy?

come on, man.

That's just Bush League

Correlating melanin content to IQ is pretty dodgy and pseudo-science at best. I know a black guy whose DNA came back 51% European.

Well are the studies here geared more toward DNA or melanin? I don't know, honestly.

There are a lot of studies that clearly demonstrate a difference in IQ ranges across racial populations. Don't be anti-science.



I won the DNA lottery but even so, its likely that the attitudes toward study and use of time that Asian and Jewish parents have is having a big impact.
I was not allowed outside after school unless I finished my homework.
My relatives had TV first in our neighborhood, but I did not get to watch all week except for two shows with the family. On the weekend, after chores and after homework, I could watch. On the weekend, we all watched together in the evening.
My first born had to learn the lesson, having a perfect 160 on the IQ test, sq peg, round holes et cetera, did not confer A's in math. I explained, she actually had to do all the questions and not just the ones with answers in the back.
She won the academic decathlon for our county her soph year in high school after struggles in the 8th grade before she accepted that you have to actually do the work.

That's certainly not what I'm saying. In fact, I'm willing to bet that there are significant differences within racial sub-types as it relates to IQ averages. For instance, I'm guessing that the average Ethiopian IQ is higher than the average Congolose, the average Norwegian IQ is higher than the average Greek IQ, and the average Japanese IQ is higher than the average Indonesian IQ.

I think correlating melanin content in one's skin to IQ is rather ridiculous and yes, self-serving.

But my point is that the board routinely asks why a group they outwardly believe are mentally inferior to them as a rule don't vote with them. It seems to be a disingenuous question...My .02 cents.

The education and performance gap is real. But an IQ correlation implies a racial limitation in potential and aptitude.

He's talking about his kid. Otto apparently got 28 point ABOVE perfect. Mom obviously knocked the kid down a few notches.

And here we have it. Always comes down this in order not to get to the truth. Your inability to understand the conversation and interpret the data shows low ability iq wise and heightened ability to throw out tired clichés.

I'm here to listen...and I figure as long as people are outwardly asserting that they belong to a race with higher potential and aptitude than mine I might as well share my opinion as well.

I would appreciate some clarity. Do you think that a study would show that in mixed folks (which is practically everyone in America in some small way), the more European and Asian DNA that person has the higher their IQ?
