Fox News' Juan Williams made an interesting claim about the continued existence of racism in the wake of the Charleston, S.C, shootings.
"The polls indicate this, that white people think that black people are less intelligent," Williams said on the June 22, 2015, edition of The Five. "They think they’re less trustworthy, less patriotic. At some point you’ve got to deal with these root issues."

I get your point that IQ is not a true measurement of intelligence.
Personally, whether whites or blacks are smarter is not something I would even think about. Who cares? The question of whether blacks commit more crime - that I think is relevant to my safety.
But there’s another issue here: freedom of speech and thought.
Once the question gets asked, it really bothers me that it’s a no-no to talk about it or even think about it.
In life we have to make judgements and use generalizations as best we can, otherwise we are going to walk into danger or miss opportunities.
I don’t like the current trend that we are supposed to ignore certain facts out of political correctness.
I don’t care if it turns out blacks are smarter than whites - I just think it should be OK to ask the question - knowledge is everything..

The truth shall set you free!
I’d agree with that poll if it’s based on Juan Williams.
“The polls indicate this, that white people think that black people are less intelligent,”
Are those the Juan Williams sitin in my armchair in the Democrats Plantation polls?
And pitbulls are just as likely to be as fun loving and adorable as labradoodles. Preach It bpdbob! /s
sadly, on average, and in general, it is true. There are exceptions of course.
Yay. Plantation!
Needed that for my bingo card.
Who are the labradoodles in this ridiculous analogy?
One of my best friends is from Nigeria. He’s smart, studious, and a solid Christian. He once led a development project is the black part of town. Those blacks, including black pastors couldn’t stand him because he wanted people to be personally responsible and develop their own skills.
I'm a Catholic and I CERTAINLY don't think ALL CATHOLICS ARE GOOD.....think Biden and the Pope.
I was raised Catholic myself and you don’t strike me as being a good Catholic. Actually you embarrass me. Jesus was all about LOVE honey try to figure out.
LOL!!!Remember the MONEY CHANGERS? You said you were RAISED a Catholic....are you still a Mass going one?
Nope quit going to mass at 16. I don’t believe in organized religion any more. But I still have many of the morals I was brought up in.
