Darwin and Lincoln were born hours apart. Although people had feelings about blacks being 'inferior', Darwin made it stick. His book came out two years before our civil war..What people saw that was inferior is that the people didn't know anything but slavery. Any people could be that way not just blacks. Survival of the Fittest, had a strong effect on our colleges and again, later in our schools.

I mean, everybody knows that there are millions and millions of black people who look like walter white or thurgood marshall. Totally hopeless task to have any confidence whatsoever in having gathered a population of essentialy west-african ancestry. You know, i bet even in Lagos there are nigerans whose black ancestry spans that range ou cited. So i guess one can't reasonably assemble a group of nigerians whose black ancestry is 90%+ with any certainty. Totally impossible task i tell you!<br /><br />----<br /> <br /> 8:40 AM<br /><br />Blogger Sean said...<br /><br /> This woman has obviously not seen the very special episode of "Diff'rent Strokes" in which Willis and Arnold were denied admittance to a fancy prep school.<br /><br /> They performed poorly because the admissions test contained "common sense" questions that had answers that made no sense to them.<br />---<br />Nothing like a good ole sitcom episode to disprove scientific studies hey :)<br />When i went to school in the usa, i had to take standardized tests. At the time i had been speaking english for barely 2 years and I had come from a totally different country. In other words I was not especially familiar with US culture. Somehow that didn't stop me from attaining higher scores than the vast majority of my native classmates. Surprising ? No. That's what reasonably smart people do, that's all. High IQ people of any race do that routinely. That's why i never care much about all this cultural bias stuff. Smart people usually get high scores on all the standardized tests and cultural bias can at most lower their scores a little bit, that's all.<br />---ogunsironhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-15608540952751186482010-05-06T18:07:14.992-07:002010-05-06T18:07:14.992-07:00In my opinion, I think it's a matter of cultur...In my opinion, I think it's a matter of culture and class.

Because otherwise these studies will prove little to nothing in terms of racial differencies. <br /><br />I mean, if whites have on average more degrees and a better economic position than blacks (for historical reasons), IQ would be most likely related to wealth and access to education, and not necessarily to race.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-6369781171405718772010-05-05T11:19:25.631-07:002010-05-05T11:19:25.631-07:00This woman has obviously not seen the very special...This woman has obviously not seen the very special episode of "Diff'rent Strokes" in which Willis and Arnold were denied admittance to a fancy prep school. <br /><br />They performed poorly because the admissions test contained "common sense" questions that had answers that made no sense to them. <br /><br />Miss Grace is entitled to her opinion, but should remain cognizant that the world does not move to the beat of just one drum.

If you look at blacks in other societies such as Western Africa and the Caribbean, their IQ and overall academic performance far surpasses that of blacks in America. This could be easily attributed to cultural and societal norms that strongly advocate two parent households, self reliance, and the importance of education as the keys to a successful life. <br /><br />Unfortunately, black America has the all too convenient white boogieman excuse that absolves the race of any responsibility for our own destinies and makes taboo any serious discussion and remediation of the problems that affect our communities. We also have a government whose mission is to keep us loyal supporters of everything they do without question by financing the very behavior that's been dumbing down black children everywhere for the past 50 years... in exchange for votes.MBogusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-55998120974656117542010-05-04T05:51:19.782-07:002010-05-04T05:51:19.782-07:00The University of Pennsylvania Trishkoff Lab (Afri...The University of Pennsylvania Trishkoff Lab (African Genetic Diversity Project) found that "people who identify as African-American may be as little as 1 percent West African or as much as 99 percent" -- so good luck in finding a African American control group to prove/disprove a predisposition of African-American genetics and intelligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-85125666857136175952010-05-03T20:26:43.639-07:002010-05-03T20:26:43.639-07:00Thomas Sowell has written quite a bit about IQ dif...Thomas Sowell has written quite a bit about IQ differences between various groups.

I'm one of those who believe that inter racial differences in intelligence are partly or even mostly genetic in origin. it just seems obvious to me at this point.<br />I guess it does stress that one must be very careful in sharing candid thoughts about racial differences.ogunsironhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
