Garrett Morris: Now, Julian, perhaps you could explain something to me. In all these studies comparing black I.Q. to white I.Q., what kind of test is used to measure I.Q.’s in the first place?
Julian Bond: Well, this is the major problem with these studies. The measurements of I.Q. which form the basis of comparison come from tests composed by whites for whites. The tests are culturally biased; it’s not surprising that whites would score better than blacks.
Garrett Morris: Could you give us an example of what you’re talking about?
Julian Bond: Certainly. Here are some questions that have appeared on recent I.Q. tests. Number one: “You have been invited over for cocktails by the officer of your trust fund. Cocktails begin at 4:30, but you must make an appearance at a 6:00 formal dinner at the Yacht Club. What do you do about dress?
A. Wear your blue-striped seersucker suit to cocktails and change into your tuxedo in the bathroom, apologizing to your host for the inconvenience.
B. Wear your tuxedo to cocktails, apologizing to your host for wearing a dinner jacket before 6:00 PM.
C. Walk to the subway at Columbus Circle and take the “A” Train uptown.”
Garrett Morris: Uh.. I guess I’d choose the last one.
Julian Bond: I’m sorry, that’s incorrect.
Garrett Morris: Damn.
Julian Bond: Here’s another: “When waxing your skis for a cross-country run, you should...”
Garrett Morris: [ interrupting ] Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We’ve only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?
Julian Bond: That’s an interesting point. My theory is that it’s based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: [ not sure he heard that right ] Say what?
Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: I don’t get it.
Julian Bond: It’s got nothing to do with having white blood. It’s just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.
Garrett Morris: This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.
Garrett Morris: Well, I still don’t quite understand. We’re out of time right now, but perhaps you could come back on the show again and explain it further.
Julian Bond: There’s very little to explain - it’s just like I told you.
Garrett Morris: Well, we are out of time. Good night. [ to Julian ] If you could repeat it just once more...
Seems to me that race relations have gotten worse and worse since the Civil Rights era and all the laws and reforms. We should be in racial nirvana by now......................
...easy targets for the Thugs.
I have friends from Nigeria, they cannot stand American blacks.
For the same reason people buy magnetic belts to lose weight.
Cause they can see the opportunity this country offers while watching Urban Blacks blame Whitey for all their self-imposed ills.
Liberals are so race obsessed it’s sickening.
What about the shine, don’t forget the shine. Also the hair, who has the “good” hair and who has to wear the doo rag. I’m too embarrassed to mention the big lips, wide nose and extreme bootay.
Just sayin
When I visibly obey Jewish laws, the only people offended (I don’t hang out with a lot of Muslims) are the less religious Jews,
LOL. Came across this just after reading that some of Russell Wilson's teammates on the Seashawks don't think he's black enough. It's insanity!!!!
One of my mom’s co-workers years ago was a light-skinned black lady who married a guy who was very dark.
Their little girl took after the father and was very dark.
The co-worker told my mom, no matter how hard the darker little girl tried, it was hard for her to make friends with the other little black girls. Her mom tried to always dress her nicely and be sure her hair was well-done, too, but nothing seemed to help.
That was so sad.
