Students, parents and staff at C.K. McClatchy High School are upset over a science fair project by a student in its elite magnet program that questioned whether certain races of people lack the intelligence to handle the program’s academically challenging coursework.

The book The Bell Curve (1994) lays it out perfectly. The average black as an 85 IQ, which is considered retarded. The black bell curve is 65-85 IQ, which is highly dysfunctional. It is why blacks are more prone to act primal and tear down instead of building up their societies.
Same could be said for studying and bringing up slavery. It is long gone and we should focus on issues today like destruction of the family.
“The truth about race and intelligence is not allowed to be known.”
I think it is “known,” but not to be acknowledged or spoken about.
Bell curves from decades back, will be reinforced by DNA, Epigenetics, etc.
Notice how the student’s question never got answered.
Today’s U.S. is like 1957 People’s Republic of China.
The kids obviously never read “The Bell Curve”
Well you kind of answered your own question. Its a disagreeble subject certainly, but it is relevent evidence in an analysis of if non equal outcome is neccesarily due to prejudice, which is a fudemental assumption driving affirmative action policy.
Reality is sooooo inconvenient for these LIB morons.
We’ve always been at war with Noticing.
Simple solution, let that race prove their intelligence by putting together their own program....with the caveat “Asians” need not apply.....
Who raised these kids? Storm Front? :)
It is likely that there is an order and I would put asians at the top.
But you’re right? What exactly was the POINT of the experiment?
How were they planning to rectify it!?!?
And what mom or dad said “hey, that’s a GREAT idea!” :)
And then there’s nurture vs nature.
The truth doesn't care about your feelings - Ben Shapiro
Agreed. This metric ignores the individual for the abstract collective. But tribal politics is here for quite a bit longer. It has become both sword and shield.
Ive met enough smart black people that I am dubious of that graphic.
Shockley nailed it years ago..... and tied it to evolution... NFL and NBA demonstrates it every year. Facts are facts... you just can’t talk about some facts.
China 1957? Right before Mao did away with some 45 million people.
Races of people don’t have or lack anything as they are made up of individuals that are responsible for their own performance, and are not a collective where each person is responsible for some other person’s success or lack of.
Do you not see the conflict between the two lines of text you wrote?
In order to return to a merit-based system, we must first do away with the moral-relativistic lie that there are no differences between anything.
In order to do that, we need to re-establish a criteria of what is intelligence.
In order to do that, we need to draw a distinction between the capacity to think, to comprehend, to analyze, to synthesize and to create.
This student is pointing out what was accepted as fact up through the first half of the 20th century and which was overturned by the Boazian school of anthropology. In short, in the nature vs. nurture debate, the Boazians through out all nature and said that all differences between people were little more than a ‘social construct’ brought about by the evil, corrupt Judeo-Christian values and traditions upon which Western Civilization is founded.
It is an established (scientific, to those of you who worship at the altar of the physical science and scoff at metaphysics) that on average the brains of whites are larger and heavier than those of blacks.
This student is simply trying to extrapolate from that to determine whether — based upon the current thought stream that all human intelligence is strictly brain-related and has nothing to do with that silly, metaphysical notion of the Soul — that extra brain capacity equates to a higher overall intelligence (according to classical measures, not the current “self-esteem” and “self-expression” standards in the government-run schools).
I think this student’s science project is not only a sign of extreme courage, of true independence, but I think it is actually a sign of true genius given the current climate that abhors the differences inherent in God’s creation (a beautiful thing) and try to make the claim and to brainwash the masses into believing there are no difference except those caused by the evil, corrupt traditions and values of Western Civilization.
“The 1994 book by political scientist Charles Murray brought the idea into the national consciousness, though it has been widely criticized by mainstream scientists.”
Criticized because they can show Dr. Murray was wrong...or criticized because no one is allowed to present that data?
Reminds me of studies on gays...they don’t come out very good (relating to violence, health issues, etc.) - so the solution is to PROHIBIT those studies. There are still ones from the 1970s and earlier, and that’s all we have.
