So, you are saying, no matter how hard working and diligent the people from Haiti become, they won’t ever overcome their limitations?

A limitation is a restriction by definition.

With hard work and diligence one can achieve, but not exceed, one's maximum capabilities.

For example, can a hardworking person who is retarded become a doctor?

Of course not (although I sometimes wonder about my urologist).

Top countries: Not sure if it's cultural or inherent. Some claim that having to learn a pictographic language like Mandarin, Japanese or Korean improves memory and I.Q.. Of course the Japanese have three alphabets ( Hiragana, Kanji and Katakana) so learning those must stretch ones mental faculties.

As to Israel, remember that the population of Israel is 20 % ethnic arab and they have Ethiopian Jews who may not have the same I.Q. profiles as the Ashkenazic and Sephardic jews.

Eventually, almost all class societies fall because the victors cease to be the best and brightest, and rest on their laurels, while the untermenschen continue to struggle and evolve through adversity.

Said another way, aristocracy breeds its own demise. How many kings have survived to the present day? The ascendant gradually maintain their position not through excellence but through greater and greater oppression, trying to propagate the myth of their superority through tyranny. Look at King George. Or the Tsars. Or latter-day Rome. Hereditary aristocracy — codified social class — protects the ever-weakening classes until the stronger, or at least more numerous, rebel and the cycle begins anew.

Think Morlocks versus Eloi.

GENOCIDE & REPLACE. REPEAT.

Black Africa is murdering off their Whites.

Do we take in the oppressed Whites? No.

Instead, the USA is forcibly importing deep Africa Blacks to replace Whites in America.

What could possibly go wrong?
Who makes these inhumane decisions?

I first saw it on a video by Stephan Molyneaux and I believe he was quoting Reich’s work. I’m at work so I can’t check from here but Molyneaux has done a number of videos on the subject. His main point is that IQ plays a much bigger role in achievement and criminality than does racism.

Jews have not won “most” Nobel Prizes. They have won 22%. White Europeans/Americans have won the majority of the rest.

A better question is why have Asians not performed better in these things despite their supposedly higher overall IQ?

OK, I stand corrected, but given their small population as compared to say, China or India, the are OVER-REPRESENTED in the Nobel Prize. BTW, This also is true in the other science and mathematics prizes.

Katie Hopkins has done a documentary on the plight of whites in SA. It's chilling. I haven't seen it but I saw her being interviewed by Stephan Molyneaux about it.

As she describes the situation there are now tens of thousands of whites living in shacks in garbage dumps picking through the trash for supplies. They've been thrown off their land and out of their homes, which have been appropriated by blacks. They've been fired from their jobs for being white and can not get hired for anything and no western country is willing to take them. Australia determined that it won't let them in because doing so would be racist since they're all white...when they find themselves in the desperate position they are in now precisely because they are white.

The majority of the population of the subcontinent speak one of the Indo-European languages, brought in by the so-called Aryan invaders (1500 B.C.?), which are closely related to the Iranian languages (Old Persian and modern Farsi, Kurdish, etc.). Probably the Aryan invaders looked pretty much like Iranians. The caste system may have arisen as their way of keeping themselves distinct from the subject populations they had conquered.

I figured you misstated that. I just didn’t want anyone to be incorrectly informed. There is NO doubt at all that they are vastly overstated in these things. The real question is why. I’m not sure I believe the IQ numbers for anyone. If African IQ is about 70 or 80, retardation level, why are they able to learn to drive motor vehicles as they do even in sub-Saharan Africa? Why are they able to build cities at all? Why are they able to build highways? How are they able to attend universities at all? I’m undecided on my feelings about IQ scores.

And precisely what public policy do you want to be enacted based on this?

It’s more than scarce resources, it’s also pride and prejudice.

As I said, profoundly Un-American.

My ideology? Fairly simple, and deepky Red, White and Blue.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

More like "what public policy should be repealed", namely the legal presumption that any disparity in hiring, promotion, arrest, graduation, college acceptance, etc, which negatively affects blacks is due to racism, and must be remediated.

In other words, the federal government should get OUT of the business of regulating how businesses should hire and promote.

It should also be invalid for the feds to declare a police dept is racist, because of statistical disparities.

Which is why we need for Trump to appoint more conservative Supreme Court justices.
