Race and IQs

[Rev. Rye]

Yeah, the fact that the research was being funded by someone with an agenda and reached conclusions that support it (especially a contrarian one like this) should certainly set off some warning bells. 

However, that isn't enough to discredit. You have to look deep into it to see where the problems lie. You could potentially be dealing with a game-changer. Then again, a lot of the time, you could just be dealing with someone who defined poverty in such a specific way that they could "prove" poor people aren't actually poor. Or, in this case, you could end up with a study that goes on some really wonky misconceptions about how IQ Tests and intelligence (and, indeed, ethnicity) work to make black people seem inherently stupid.

Oh i'm not saying it's sole descreditor .But it does cast a shadow over the research.

That I agree with. I was just trying to explain it further for those of us who don't see the problem.
