Thomas Sowell is more intelligent than more than 99.9% of the caucasians you'll see on any given day. We talking about average levels of intelligence here, not about isolated individuals.

Exactly. Which is why I also said:

"...Knowing how someone thinks, maybe how they vote, will tell you more about their intelligence than their race...Al Gore & Ted Kennedy, trust fund rich white boys, are almost as smart as a bag of hammers.

So race isn't necessarily a factor, you see, in determining intelligence."

So while there may be an assertion about average levels "across the board", so to speak, that need to be tested, we still deal with each other as individuals. So I treat you as an individual person and do not see you exclusively as a member of a race.
