Regardless of "multiculturalism", a concept with which I take issue, an individual must have certain skills to survive in this society and culture, including a good understanding of English, a basic knowledge of American and world history, math skills, computer skills, and whatever other skills are required in whatever occupation that individual chooses to pursue. In order to acquire and employ these skills, certain thought processes and patterns of mental behavior are required.

For some blacks to say that I.Q. tests are biased towards whites, that is only because the society, economy, culture, etc in which we live is primarily a European-American product. If Orientals right off the boat, speaking no language but their native tongue can learn English and acquire these skills, blacks born right here should be able to also, and they can. The solution is not to alter the test to reflect a non-existent world, but to make sure that all blacks have an equal opportunity to acquire the educational benefits which are available to whites and orientals. This would mean school vouchers so they can pull their kids out of poor schools and send them to better ones. It means preventing pregnancies out of wedlock, so black kids can grow up in a normal nuclear family with both parental partners around to make sure they grow up properly. It means having blacks as individuals and as communities start taking responsibility for their own success or failure and stop blaming whites, orientals, long-dead slave-owners, or their failure to perform at I.Q. test as well as they feel they ought to.

Instead they should take the time and effort to read, learn, and perform as society requires they do, and we will all find out that there is no inherent inability in the capacity of a black brain to learn this stuff.
