Give up the criminality and become productive citizens Start "acting white" and voila, your problems "caused" by racism will disappear.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

Not only the “white” slave owners, but there were a lot of “black” slave owners too.

IQ testing can be done over a wide range of ages. Age and race, sex, economic factors - all have been part of the roughly 100 year long development of IQ testing. The results on the early tests are similar to those done today.

Look up a video “You can't fix stupid”. That comedian called it correctly.

Having said the above, I am sure that an IQ80 individual who was acculturated properly can make their way through life as a productive citizen. All bets are off if Gubment and Libtards get their overpaid paws on ‘that person.

“Blacks weren’t like this before LBJ and the Soviets destroyed them.”

Very true.

Also true - the IQ scores have remained stable for some 100 years. The racial differences are real.

....”The horrendous crime rate by young black males in and out of school is the root cause of their problems.... Give up the criminality and become productive citizens and voila, you problems “caused” by racism will disappear”.....

I continue to deal with these young blacks who are hanging out at a section 8 house planted in our neighborhood. Couple of them hanging out on the corner pulling their pants down and stroking themselves today as couple white girls walked up the street.

I gotta figure how I’m going to deal with this scum.....!! They’re creating a lot of problems here.

.....”The reality is that in ethnicity plays a role in cognitive skills, at least skills that matter in Western civilization.... Environment play a major role as well”.....

Haiti and Detroit.....and other areas of majority blacks always ends the same....I believe because the black leadership themselves won’t let go of their own corruption and lift their people above the sewers of their getto’s etc.

Further many don’t want to do the work required to change their life.....there is “comfort in the familiar”....no matter how bad it is.

Ignorance and lack of desire to learn and succeed is the worst enemy of achievement for people, in my humble opinion. None of those things can be provided by government.

Only adults-those over 18-were evaluated at the company where I worked-people with workers comp injuries who would need to get further training or education for less physically demanding jobs-but those individuals were employed, not welfare recipients, and were used to working-IQ, interests and abilities only determined the work the person could do successfully, and was interested in-not whether they would be a productive individual. If they were not, the company would have never have known them at all...
