Too bad you got preempted there, huh?

Quote:Or maybe we could discuss why it might be, pursuant to all of those links above..that the disparity (and correlations) between income, race ( a sociological construct, not a genetic one), SES, and IQ might be more pronounced in the US than other parts of the world? Why, in short, relative poverty and intelligence by specific metrics seems to be more heritable in the united states in context of minority populations and even more specifically in light of the reality of continued de facto segregation?

Would you like to work that one out for yourself..or would you like to throw another fit for a few pages before I link dump you for the third time?

Or maybe you'd like to bitch and moan for sources on income/iq studies that control for the effects mentioned and known from all of those other studies...for a few pages, to get link dumped a fourth time?

Or maybe you'd like to wager more money you don't intend to part with?

Or maybe you, as a person deeply invested in fantasies of white victimization and crypotmarxist dystopias..will never be satisfied with any amount of links....even if you only needed one to convince you of the accuracy of scientific racism?

That's a lot of narrative for a guy who give sources that disagree with him, and is too proud to cite even one little number-- 10%-- to get $150 worth of help to some black kids in need.

It's almost like. . . it's almost like the PC Left are just narrative-spinning, meme-spouting assholes, and care neither for facts, nor for actually helping anyone.  Farts smelling good today, bro?

This is you:

1)  All these stats, facts, and papers are just you trying to dig up scientific racism.
2)  Scientific racism is wronnnnnng.

No, asshole.  Using science as a pretext for alienating or abusing others is wrong.  Using it to actually understand the issues that real people face, and make sure that efforts to correct the situation are in the right direction, is just common sense. The former is racist in the sense that it intends to JUSTIFY maltreatment. The latter is racist only in the sense that it recognizes racial differences in the US, but it attempts to generate solutions that might actual MINIMIZE maltreatment-- as opposed to just meme-spouting bullshit, which is your solution.

Learn the difference.
