To be fair there other types of intelligence, thats just one.

Well regardless of color my family seems to do fine smarts wise,, and myself, guess I do not have a dog in this fight I guess.

Some people are more book smart, some people are more street smart, and things like wisdom, common sense, ethics are just as important as intelligence.

Just my two cents.

Of course, you are right. Every human has value. Every human has a soul. Every human has a right to live and be free. Being smarter doesn't make one a better person. There are horrible smart people. And very decent, talented less smart people. I would rather spend my time with the decent people.

Some of my relatives were put in gas chambers at Auschwitz. There were labeled "inferior" by the German master-race.

I understand that this is a "hot-button" issue with many. I simply don't think we can pretend that human differences are not real. They are. But a whole lot more goes into judging a person's worth than simply IQ.
