> So, how about who functions better in today’s society as contributing and functioning human being, operating within our given societal norms. You could start by asking the large population (percentage) of blacks in prison why they got there...?? Is it “white oppression”? Is that it?

Watson spoke about “Intelligence”, and I guess I am saying that “intelligence” wouldn’t be the right measure.

The “white” and “black” thing in the US I have never understood, and greater minds than mine have tried. I suspect the answers to that question are far more complex than what can be explained by “intelligence”.

I've always thought that there is a difference between intellect and intelligence. I have know people in both end of the intellect spectrum, and I have see high intellects make the most unintelligent choices imaginable and vice versa.

I think the old man is talking about intellect.
