Race and IQs

[Huggy Bear]

If a particular race has an overall lower I.Q. according to statistics, I would personally think genetics were a major contributing factor.  Which is not to state that some people within that race are not genetically blessed to have higher I.Q.s.

I don't think that anyone would disagree that genetics play a role in intelligence, but certainly so does environment.  Someone with zero or close-to-zero access to educational resources, or brought up in a culture that heavily indoctrinates certain ideas, etc, would also be expected to suffer intelligence-wise, even with good genes.

Genetics and race are two completely different things.

Could parents that have high IQ's have a chance of passing those genes down? Sure, but what has that got to do with race?

I've pointed out repeatedly that of all the immigrant groups that come to the US, the African immigrants are the most educated and more educated that US citizens overall, and their whole continent is referred to as a Sh*ithole...

Explain that?
