You will never EVER convince me or anyone here with logic there is one true smarter sect over another. Every sect has it's idiots and intellectuals.

Try it. Tell us how "we" are so intellectual superior.

I don't believe firmly that the races aren't equal in intellect or other areas.

But I'm also not totally aghast at the idea that they aren't. There are correlations out there, but it's difficult to account for various factors. I don't think there is any reason to believe there aren't inherent distinctions, and even if there were, I don't think it impacts my view of people of other races.

I don't know why you keep using the word logic when you don't think logically, your thoughts are based on emotion. Look at the average IQ scores by race, it is obvious that the average score of certain races is MUCH higher than the scores of other races which means certain races as a group are smarter than others. Sure there are idiots and intellectuals in every race, I already said that is the case and it is why we need to judge each person individually. I have already said everything I need to say so I am not going to argue with you anymore, you can't win an argument with someone who refuses to use logic and instead argues based on emotion.

Well sure. Things can be measured on an average, however.

Exactly. I could see Sao arguing 10 year old doctors are just as good as adult doctors because of Doogie Howser.

Well some races have more twitch muscles, because this was more advantageous in the jungle. Some races have higher lung capacity because it's more advantageous in the mountains. And some are more intelligent because it's more advantageous in a civilization.

On average.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills? Did I not answer him when he asked me to explain it earlier or am I missing something?

What you are describing is invidual attributes that can be shown to be more productive in one sect of people than another. I think Sao is going more along the lines of in the aggregate, we are more at the mean than not. But if we also subscribe to environmental factors, it should nullify. And I think it can be shown as true. A melting pot is dumped in a fortunate situation of solid family, stable incomes, low crime and good schools, and the differences are insignificant. Same if it was broken home, shite neighborhoods, feeling of heavy authority, poor schools and low-income, we see a lot of terrible all the way around, although it is much more pronounced in the urban density.

Ok.

Desegregation. The idea of normalization. The, white flight.

We've witnessed desegregation due to urban sprawl which is a return to the 60s in the 80s and beyond. Hypothetically, the exercise of segregation never took into account sprawl. That attitudes would normalize due to diversity. That didn't happen.

We see what we see because there isn't a normalization influence throughout a dense population. One helping the other. One knowing the other.

600 thread count whitey, but I'm not dense.

The traits are not immutable over time, they are not a good indicator on the individual level, and there are many other factors for our situation. But the traits still exist.

Racism is definitely alive and well... It's just not real to the people who can make the difference in society to make a change. But that's true in most communities in America. History shows us that issues that are this big has to come to some sort of plateau for it to be handled properly.

I don't prescribe that traits exist as a matter of fact in specific people whatsoever. That isn't my argument, I was merely parroting that part.

Its an easy way to divide the masses while the controllers do whatever the frick they want. Classic misdirection.

Sun Tzu wrote all about it in his book art of war. Divide and conquer.
