You honestly think it's a pigment and not an educational/opportunity/ cultural issue? You're the worst kind of racist

It is because the people in the South have more exposure to the damages to society welfare has produced.

The differently educated (I'm not going to use a slur like "low IQ") in Texas, the Southeast, and much of the Midwest, are hooked on conservative talk radio and simply vote the way Rush, Hannity, or Hugh Hewitt tells them to. They're indoctrinated by these snake oil salesmen and cast votes contrary to their self interest.

At least as far as I can tell, the only person that even mentioned pigment was you.

Although after reading up on Spearman's hypothesis and The Bell Curve, it is pretty obvious that intelligence is at least partially inherited. So is pigment.

A very good case has been made that there is a significant correlation between achievement and IQ. Economic status also influences voting trends.

When you have to deal with demographics on a daily basis, you tend to not feel sorry for them and you vote R to take away funding from them. The liberal states don't ever deal with demographics

I point to this while you play the race card


Regarding race and achievement:

Matriculation stats for American medical schools broken down by GPA and MCAT:

White Applicants
Black applicants
Asian applicants

The GPA and MCAT requirements appear to be much lower for African Americans than for Asians or Whites. My assumption here is that this is to account for lower number of competitive black applicants.

TL:DR? Med schools seem to think that there is enough of an achievement gap between students of different races that they maintain obviously different GPA and MCAT standards for different races.

And there is a strong correlation between achievement and IQ.

I don't think anyone claims "pigment" is a factor in intelligence, but genetics most likely.

Example: Although you are white, your parents probably have low IQ's and therfore is the reason you are ignorant.

Why do the major population centers with the highest numbers of welfare recipients vote democratic?

There is the real question.

It's a simple "what if" scenario you moron. If you want to view it as a racist remark, that's your problem.

What if Louisiana was 80% black and only 20% white? What would it look like?

Is that racist?
