So much for the “Bell Curve.” It is obvious that culture was responsible, not genetics

If you had read the Bell Curve you would know how stupid your statement is. The Bell Curve indited the culture of the leftists and detailed better cultural alternatives. With the above issue, The Bell Curve would support the fining that the culture of 1958 was better at helping lower IQ people manage themselves.

That’s not the point. The point is that our culture dumbed down whites, who supposedly have better genes, to the point where they act like blacks in 1958. If that’s the case then why assume that blacks have lower IQ because of genes? I’d argue that it is more likely that they are suffering from a culture that devalues intelligence even more than whites.

The Bell Curve calls for ‘simplifying rules’ so that low IQ can be more successful without thinking too much. I’m all for these rules but our pop culture goes beyond the rejection of traditional values. According to our pop culture, smart people are ‘nerds’ and you will be better off if you play basketball instead of reading a book.
