“My thoughts about this are that such marital strife likely has far more to do with education and learned virtues (or the lack thereof) than skin color.”
And which racial group ON AVERAGE has the lowest education and “virtues”? (”on average” is a very important qualifier).
The mistake that most people make when they think of our race problems is that it is just about skin color. It’s absolutely not about that. It’s about what skin color (actually race more than skin color) is highly CORROLATED with. And sadly blacks as a race have on AVERAGE a significantly lower IQ and more behavioral problems than whites or Asians.
If blacks on AVERAGE had similar IQ and behavior as the other races there would be no racial discrimination.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t smart, well behaved blacks or dumb criminal whites, but the distribution (bell curve) for whatever reason is skewed in favor of whites and Asians.
That’s a very tragic reality, but a reality nonetheless and the source of all our racial strife. And until we accept that and deal with it, our racial problems are only going to get worse.
Good post and spot on.
I believe that God sees this quite differently..and HIS thoughts are waaaaay above ours. :-)
And the actual root of any such problems is spiritual...more than anything else.
IIRC the Army back in WWII days did a study which showed that black IQs were on average lower than for whites but it also showed that average IQs for northern blacks were higher than for southern whites.
