Scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as race.

With regard to intelligence there is virtually NO evidence that all races are equally intelligent on average. In fact in over 100 years of testing all of the results show the opposite, even when controlling for cultural bias, income/socioeconomic status, and environment. The deniers have some theoretical explanations for why it can’t be so, such as genetic similarities between races are less than that between individuals. Still I am unaware of anyone who has developed an intelligence test where the ranking is different than that observed historically.

>> The black is a better athlete to begin with, because he's been bred to be that way <<<

You may find this interesting. It has been called the Black Bell Curve. Aside from genetics and environment maybe the problem is a culture that deplores Dr. Ben Carson but exalts Maxine Waters.

“I HATE that you are right about your comment on America.

OF COURSE not across the board but in general.

We WOPs are actually on the UPSWING with that.

First generation were tradesmen. Didn’t see WHY anyone would go to college.

2nd generation graduated high school and some went to college but still a LOT of blue collar BUT they saw the need for college to take things to the next level.

3rd generation actually stepped up studying and shooting for higher goals.

4th generation is beginning the downturn you’re talking about.

GOD only knows about 5th generation.

People would be surprised how many of us are still 2nd generation and there are a lot of 3rd.

The culture differences do explain a lot.

I have a few Asian friends who still have 3 generations under one roof.

BIG HOUSE of course. But I like that.”

4th gen on one side, 8th on the other here. Tradesmen and farmers first, but the same story!

The problems will come when the research doesn’t support liberal ideology. They would resort to lies and half truths to cover up and change the facts that refute the liberal agenda. They don’t want honesty.

Although Jews make up only 0.2 percent of the world’s population, they win 22 percent of Nobel Prizes.

Couldn’t have anything to do with genetics, could it?

Either genetics or culture, and crediting either one will outrage American leftists.

From the black tennis player, “Arther Ash” sports are the method by which the low income newcomers to America are able to escape the local low income ethnic neighborhoods. Thus, black kids have had full citizenship rights since the 1964 civil rights act. The welfare state was created in 1965 and served to keep blacks in the poverty neighborhoods ever since. Sports are the escape from the welfare neighborhoods. Thusly, as long as there are baby momas getting paid by the Federal Gov. there will be black kids going into sports to escape the poverty of the low income black neighborhoods.

Genetics AND culture.

Ashkenazim and East Asians appear to benefit from advantages in both.

Put a Shetland pony against a Clydesdale and lets see which can pull a beer wagon. Apples and oranges. Diamond vs. Talc. Whale vs. minnow. It’s not better or worse but what job needs done.

Different cultures encourage different behaviors. I don’t feel compelled to explain that.

Academics can only come up with ONE reason to explain universally known racial differences.

Social constructs implemented by the white man created all difference.

Period.

So, if you’re stuck in prison with a 74 IQ, it’s Whitey’s fault.

If your mommy is a crack whore who can neither read nor write, it’s whitey’s fault.

It you can’t understand how five can be divided into two equal parts, it’s whitey’s fault.

Attitude and family probably have more to do with academic and life achievement than race.

One group in America, which has the highest percentage of single parent families, frequently uses race and racism as a reason to avoid academics altogether.

Then they have and use race and racism as their excuse for their poor performance throughout life, and all while making more “fatherless” babies that keep this chain unbroken.

We’re not this stupid. It’s almost 2020. How do we end this madness? This is unnatural. It’s not supposed to be like this, yet it continues.

Why aren’t we ridiculing those in politics, entertainment and education who promote these ideologies that convince people to hold themselves down and stay down in perpetuity while blaming other groups for their “racial” misfortunes?

Distribution of fast twitch vs slow twitch muscle fiber is a proven difference maker in some physical endeavors.

"Well, they sure are facing that subject head on and with an open mind..."

Yes I'm sure this particular graph will be widely discussed...

Also they will be told that to look at the world believe their lying eyes is racist.

And that there is no such thing as races and in the same breath that whites are born racists.

Or the old ‘goodie’....

Which weighs more a ton of feathers or a ton of stone.
Answer, naturally, a ton is a ton is a ton.

However once you bring volume into it, the question is
How much will it COST to move a ton of feathers vs a ton of stone?

I can move a ton of stone in my pickup but I don’t believe a ton of feathers would fit.

If the best producer for the reward of spending the night in the women’s quarters, you would simultaneously create an incentive to work, and get a better next generation.
