Unless someone can show me several peer-reviewed scientific studies that show some type of abnormality within the Brain/Brain structures/DNA of those of African descent, then this whole notion that they lack the necessary intelligence:
capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
is a bunch of bullshit.

Now, if you want to argue that their culture diminishes the need for education, then I am willing to agree with you.

Arguing along race lines like this is actually racist.

Aren’t we now being told that dreamers are commonly super humans, many coming from ivy league colleges?

The problem is bull$h!t and fact are two different things.

“Go to the library, and check out a book on European history in the 20th century.”

Why don’t you go point to a place on an Atlas that shows a first-world black-run nation?

Go to an inner city area or an African nation and meet the rest of them.

People that take these IQ studies seriously are collectivist in their mindset, where the truly less-intellegent ones try to assume an IQ score they did not bother to test for.

I’ve never known a smart person that talks the way the trash followers of this stuff do about people’s individual intelligence.

They think everyone can achieve the fullest of their potential with hard work and study, while the bohunks that love to cling to these IQ studies, usually have jack to show for real achievements, and get off on trying to pre-judge people’s intelligence based on their skin color, and put themselves on a pedestal.

It is so against the nature of this nation, that it is stomach-turning.

I would presume that ALL other projects are off limits:

Do American Indians have a drinking problem?
Do Irish have a drinking problem?
If the Chinese ‘invented’ spaghetti why is it an Italian dish? (Marco Polo ‘stole’ it?)
Why are Vikings and Norse portrayed as Blond Marauders?
A Hitler was a shortish, slight, darker skinned man with very dark hair and features. Why did he push the fact that tall blond, blue eyed people were the Master Race? Why didn’t his followers question why this was his philosophy?
That would lead to asking or is that axing how supposedly sensible White Men & Women would cheer along a Black pResident when same has vowed to ‘crush’ the White Man?

How come a Black can publicly support a Black Candidate and be considered ‘honoring his race’?
How come a Black can publicly support an ‘other’ candidate and be declared a ‘Race Traitor’?

How come a Woman can publicly support a Woman Candidate and be considered ‘honoring’ her Gender?
How come a Woman can publicly support an ‘other’ candidate and be declared a ‘Gender traitor’?

OTOH,

If a White Male openly backs his White Male Candidate he is either a sexist, racist, homophobe, islamaphobe, Asian hater, Brown skin hater—fill in an appropriate answer.

OTOH

If a White Male openly backs an ‘other’ candidate, he is considered an open minded, progressive HERO (while the vote is needed)?

We have a Congress -as a whole that lets a year slide with nothing accomplished inre a budget, taking vacations and jaunts THEN, when the 24th hour approaches they deem themselves some kind of hero, working for the people, because they put in a 10 hour day instead of their normal 11-3 (with lunch) carefully ‘skirting’ rush hours even though many have ‘armed, chauffeured vehicles with all the trimmings to transport them.

How come ALL the cockroaches and various genders can have their OWN Caucus, TV network etc while the mere mention of a White Caucus sends them all to the restroom of their choice to unravel their panties?

When a man that declares itself a woman will it be allowed to use the LADIES room in Congress?

IF Gender doesn’t matter, why don’t we just make terlets(thanks A Bunker) a large wide open room with various bowls, ditches, urinals, holes in floor so EVERYONE can be happy?

Why don’t ‘we’ raid Pelosis vineyard and arrest all the illegals and deport them OR if she has none, ask here WHY NOT?...Lets start putting THEM in the hotseat...

A casual, outside observer would think the LIBS were running everything- if one paid attention to who the ‘guests’ were on different shows.

I am bothered more by the use of “Scotch” tape on the science project board than the contents of his project. I mean a student in an elite magnet school turns in that mess?!?!

Seriously? I have a colleague that has a “Master’s Degree” from a Historically Black University and she is incapable of writing an email that is grammatically correct or coherent. When she gets called on her inability to communicate properly, her defense is that she has a “Master’s Degree”. Are there exceptions to every rule? Of course. But as a whole, whether it’s IQ or Nature vs Nurture, Murray is right.

One of the first aspects of Affirmative Action hiring, was to lower the standards to qualify for many positions.
That, to me, is proof enough.

Way to dodge.

Last time I checked no African nations engaged in a war that literally turned most of the continent into ashes and killed 10s of millions of the people there twice in 30 years while then engaging in a standoff that could potentially turn the entire globe into a radioactive ash heap.

But African nations, what a bunch if screwup, right?

African nations have a lot of work to do, and truthfully the Cold War did far more to impede their development thanks to interference from the CIA, KGB, and money bribes from China than people know.

Several African nations had GDPs higher than Western nations in their early history until they became a huge proxy battlefield for the superpowers.

I wonder if white ANTIFA anarchists are genetically distinguishable from white honor students or entrepreneurs.

Or if white English and Scot drunken soccer thugs are genetically distinguishable from, say, civilized people.

“Seriously? I have a colleague that has a “Master’s Degree” from a Historically Black University and she is incapable of writing an email that is grammatically correct or coherent. “

So you have an anecdote, therefore blacks = stupid people as a collective whole, full stop?

That’s like a leftist saying gun owners are dangerous because (insert mass shooting here).

“Are there exceptions to every rule? Of course”

Rules don’t have exceptions, people that say that are just issuing a CYA for a poor position they are taking. My advice is to not use nutty preconceptions as a base to judge people. People get burned by that far too often, and frankly it’s rude.

The Aztec, f'rinstance, never had a functional wheel (neither for transportation, nor for mechanical functions like a potter's wheel or a spinning wheel), and they had refined metals only for ornamentation --- as I understand it --- and not for tools or structural materials, and yet they had a sophisticated organized large-scale civilization to rival, at least, some of the civilizations of classical antiquity.

The "spawn's" evidence, I'd say, is mixed.

Then you haven’t checked. They certainly kill each other and are at constant war. Just because they are not smart enough to create larger weapons doesn’t mean they are not killing each other. The African continent is at a constant state of war, just like our inner cities.

"HISP students don’t get the insight of people of color or from lower socio-economic backgrounds."

Yes. I can see where being deprived of the wonders of Hip Hop music, ghetto culture and the tidbits of wisdom emanating from the LaRaza crowed would be a serious disadvantage for students of "White Privilege".
