"Intelligence can be trained.

That’s how you end up with people like Clarence Thomas, Frederick Douglass, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Yeonmi Park, and many others."

B.S. Nobody denies that there are smart blacks. The IQ curve is a distribution that goes from very low to very high, with most people falling in the middle. So even the black IQ distribution, with a significantly lower AVERAGE, has a tail on the right representing smart people like those you mention . But there are many more whites and Asians than blacks with an IQ above 130.

Here's the curves that explain pretty much everything you see about races in the real world.

Facts are very stubborn things.

Ah, there is the rub.

And that graph means little without a source.

Good post.

Most people have a hard time understanding what just a few IQ points in a race mean in the real world—since on an individual basis a few IQ points don’t mean much of anything.

The difference between having a handful of geniuses in a race and hundreds of thousands of them is the difference between living in caves and having a world of modern conveniences.
