We -could- solve it....but then again, black poverty is inevitable so why would we waste our time. They should stop being lazy and Git Productive - that would fix everything. I said bale that cotton boy, not hug it.
We could go even further down the rabit hole, though, and point out that even saying "race and iq" is ignorant from the outset..it flew 70 years ago but now we talk about genetics and IQ, and the funny thing about that is that race is kind of silly in context.
. . . still waiting for you to cite that source.
Quote:You're saying what I said, right up front, when I introduced the demographic numbers on IQ. I'm perfectly open to evidence that it is lack of educational opportunity that is mainly responsible for IQ differences.Whose fault is it that you knew better but decided to go full scientific racist? PC leftists?
bennyboy, post #612 Wrote:In some metrics, black people at least in the US, clearly ARE inferior-- in average IQ scores for example. Then we have to ask why-- is it because the IQ tests are biased toward white participants? Or because socioeconomic conditions lead to bad education? Or because of differential intelligences (intellectual tasks vs. social skills vs. physical intelligence), and only a narrow range of those being tested?
And then, we have to ask-- EVEN IF there are actual racial differences, should it matter at all with regard to rights of citizenship? I'd certainly argue not.
Yeah, I'm practically just repeating the white supremacist mantra here, hey? Because those guys always like to open the door to multiple possibilities that would discredit their interpretation of the data?
Seems legit.
