Flashback: Polls indicate that "white people think that black people are less intelligent. They think they’re less trustworthy, less patriotic."

Oh, that’s different. It’s okay to hate whites.

Juan is a living example of low IQ

The Bell Curve was written in 1994. Unless you think IQs are genetic, IQs could have changed since then.

Thomas Sowell showed that IQs for so-called white ethnics (Italians, Poles, etc.) rose from WWI to WWII. In the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), the white ethnics were about 1 standard deviation below native-born WASPs in WWI. This “confirmed” nativist arguments against white ethnics as lesser people, intermediate between blacks and northern Europeans.

But, voila!, the test showed white ethnics to have the same IQ as native-born WASPS in the intake of soldiers into the armed forces during WWII. Gee wiz, how did that happen?

Sowell’s finding was replicated following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Eastern Europeans, to include East Germans, were about 1 standard deviation below their counterparts in western Europe. Is it because communism attracts stupid people or is it because communism makes people stupid? Well, nowadays, Estonians look like Swedes in terms of IQ; eastern Germans like western Germans; and Poles like Germans.

Turning now to African Americans, they were about 1 standard deviation below whites at the time of the Bell Curve. This IQ Gap has since narrowed, we can say by half.

There is some evidence that blacks with similar socio-economic upbringing as whites have similar IQ. The damn problem is that more blacks are raised in lower-income households, in dysfunctional neighborhoods, and without fathers. In a single word, welfare.

I’ll also mention Nigerians. In England, they split out various Africans, distinguishing the children of the genuinely stupid people from Somalia from the children of Nigerians and other places in Africa. The children of Nigerians do just fine. They look, IQ-wise, like native-born English children.

Nigerians, by the way, are pretty competitive in international “mind games” such as scrabble. Though not so competitive in chess, the Math Olympiad, or memory. Yeah, when we start talking brains, let’s keep in mind that genius comes in various ways. Some people are genius in their use of hands to make cars work or to paint. Who has a test for this kind of genius?

We, here in America, know first hand of the genius of black people in basketball and football, in jazz and other forms of music, and in other ways, not necessarily in ways measured by IQ tests. Shouldn’t those forms of genius be recognized?

And what do these race-based scores mean any waay? What matters for each individual person is their unique and wonderful set of gifts, along with the freedom to compete.

I don't know what motivated you to post a 10-year-old story quoting Juan Williams who isn't even on The Five anymore.

If this story were published today, I'd say it was LAAP-dog media agitprop intended to convince African-Americans who are thinking about straying from the Democrat party to vote for President Trump to think twice, because Republicans are racist white people who really hate you.

But it wasn't published today.

I know quite a few black people and I think even they believe that in general white people are smarter. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t many smart black people because there are.

I attended an inner city school. I think some of the people on this thread have never been around black people in their lives.

I don’t see lots of white folks falling for the lies and kneeling and refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance... Not even the demonstrably dumb and low educated ones.

Largely these tend to be in my experience black who believe themselves to be far smarter than they actually are.

As Chris Rock said, “There’s a Civil War going on with black people, and there are two sides: Black people and N****s.....And N****s have got to go!”

It wasn’t the media that jumped my wife when she was 16 for no reason. Punched her in the mouth.

It wasn’t the media that jumped my youngest son, three on one, for no reason other than they wanted to steal his trumpet. Beat the snot out of him. He was 11 at the time.

It wasn’t the media that chased me and three other kids for half a mile during a race riot. It was a mob of about 12 black kids that were stopped by a timely intervention of two police officers in a patrol car.

It wasn’t the media that tried to sucker punch my eldest son when he was in middle school. The puncher was a beast - 6’ 2” and at least 250 and still in middle school. Lucky for my boy he got a shouted out warning at the last second. Also lucky he had been taking karate classes for 4 years and was a high red belt. His training kicked in...he stepped aside and did a block that dislocated the bigger kid’s elbow.

My eyes are wide open. There is a problem in this country and 13% of the country doesn’t want to admit what it REALLY is.
