My point still stands. There is not a genetic reason that blacks can’t be successful professionals or technicians. Sure there are plenty of non-academic “dumb” blacks, but there are many “dumb” whites, hispanics and asians as well. US Asians score well because their parents are demanding. It is not as if they have some superior genetic makeup.

US Blacks do not have some inferior genetic makeup, they just generally have a terrible cultural atmosphere. Generally their parents don’t value education or don’t demand hard work and lengthy study from their children.

I can guarantee you that if 1000 Asian couples adopted only black infant children, most of those children would go on to college and be successful.

If you don’t believe it, well OK.

My point was, immigrant blacks don’t have any different genetic makeup from the US blacks whose great grandfathers were slaves and distant relatives to the immigrant blacks’s great-grandfathers. I’m sure their genetic makeup is similar. That said, the immigrants don’t have the cultural hatred and defeatism and apathy. They come here and work and study and learn and succeed.

That’s really the only difference.

The Bell Curve substantiates my position with respect to average IQ of various groups. It is true that first generation Asian immigrants to the US brought high standards of performance to the school work of their children. My 3 sons were raised in a primarily Asian community. It was a definite plus. That level of dedication is not being maintained by subsequent generations. As I noted in a prior post, it takes both IQ and dedicated effort to succeed. I’ve seen a few white couples who are fostering or adopting black children in Pocatello. I wish them success. Perhaps they will grow up as successful as the black engineers at my office. It won’t be for lack of opportunity.
