I know some Africans that come over here are smart as frick. Just as smart as Asians. But I'm sure that has something to do with coming from wealthy families in Africa.
Some of the smartest people that I know are from Nigeria, or they are children of Nigerians.

To be fair, the fact that ULL has many smart Nigerian men and women does not mean that Nigerians are generally of high intellect. Using Nigerians that are in the US in college is a very small sample size. Of course there are smart Nigerians, and it would make sense that those students would end up in the US, but the discussion should center around the average intelligence of a race, not the exceptions.

[quote]I've seen a big difference from people in the SAME family where one group of kids are educated in Louisiana and another are educated in Kansas. The kids from Louisiana that moved up to Kansas are waaay behind in education, are in the criminal justice system, etc. Ones from Kansas actually graduate towards the top of their class, good ACT, SAT scores, go to schools like KU, K-State, OU, Mizzou. Ones from Louisiana live the thug life, in and out of jail, high school dropouts etc. These are people from the SAME blood lines. People move up to Kansas/Missouri/Illinois for a better life, better education system, etc. That's why I don't buy that intellectual superiority crap when I see blacks graduate at the top of their class at all white high schools, score good on ACT, SAT, etc.[/quote

Seriously, soccer is a much more technical game than football, basketball, or track. Athletic ability will help, but you cannot come into the sport at 16 and dominate just because you are big and fast. To properly kick a ball and put it where you want it is akin to a golf swing.

I never really thought about that, no wonder why some are skinny and look like black skeletons and the others don't.
You seriously never thought about this?

He probably is right and it explains a lot of other medical curiosities as well.
In addition to only having the strongest survive, they needed a body that was not prone to dehydration. Thus, a body that held in salt and other electrolytes at a superior rate. This, along with obesity and poor diet is definitely a contributor to the alarming rate of AA with high blood pressure.

Ok so wouldn't that have much to do with poor school systems, poor countries, poor education, etc. Get one of those kids after they are born and put them with a good family where they get good meals, mother and father in home pushing them with education, they have a curfew, are disciplined, etc.
Compare that group with kids from the inner city, a famine infested african area where they don't learn to read, write, or kids from welfare and single family homes where the parents don't care if they don't attend school or not, etc. You'll see a difference in test scores and education levels. The black kids from good homes and backgrounds usually test just as well as the white/asian kids from good homes and back grounds.
I've heard plenty of stories about schools passing black athletes and not caring if they're only reading on a 6th grade level just because they are "Good" in sports or teachers letting problem black kids(crack babies) pass because they want to get them out of their class. Yes there are A LOT of kids from poor areas and schools like that. Of course they'll be intellectually inferior.lol.
I believe the county is Prince George's County in Maryland or some area on the East Coast that have a lot of affluent black families. Those kids do well, go to good schools, etc. Now compare them with black kids from Orleans or East Baton Rouge Parish.lol.
Blacks from America's wealthiest black county
Hell if I put a Japanese new born baby with a black crack head momma and a drug dealing pimp daddy and they don't discipline the kid, show the kid they care, don't push the kid to read, do homework. Send the kid to an inner city school where there are hundreds of kids like him/her, the teachers don't care, teachers aren't qualified to teach, etc. I doubt if that lil Asian baby will grow up to be a smart kid and good citizen.

Duh, Master Race.
But to the troll... er I mean Road.
Stupid people breed just as much if not more than intelligent people, and natural causes don't kill them anymore. So no, there isn't a "natural evolution" for intelligence.
Maybe when we all lived in caves.. But then that would apply to both blacks and whites. Stop trolling.

Really?
Just look at what ethnicities have had the largest empires and economic forces in recent history and today. Mongoloids and Caucasians.
Africa has arguably the most natural resources in the world.

Jews actually have a slightly legitimate reason for more of them being more intelligent... The intelligent ones probably were deemed more worth keeping by the Nazi's and thus kept alive.. or they ended up defecting etc.
But again, that's not something people want to actually talk about.

Ok then explain to me why Native Americans on reservations are dirt poor, not educated well, etc. I mean they have the same "natural" resources as whites in Oklahoma or whites in Phoenix, Las Vegas, etc. Depends on where you're from. Aren't they considered "Mongoloids" and a lot mixed with "Caucasians".

Great question. But it can't be denied if you're looking at it objectively that jews, Asians, indians, and western european whites are the most intelligent on average. Just as it can't be denied that west african blacks are more athletically gifted in speed and muscle tone.
It's just that one is acceptable to talk about and the other is not.
