environment
which creates perception

and perception = your life

it's got nothing to do with intelligence, but the environment they grew up in and ideals that change what they expect of themselves, their dedication to something, freedom if thought and belief, etc etc etc.. intelligence isn't a single attribute but the sum of various attributes that are affected directly by the environment.

everyones lives are due to the environment each one of us live in and most importantly grew up in.

Those results are a direct reflection of races habits and lifestyle and beliefs.. rather than single individuals capabilities.


Well spoken

I hate the "inner city" argument. If you live in a crappy area of an inner city you could very easily move to a crappy house in the country for the same price or cheaper and have a far lower crime rate and better schools.


Yeah the country is renowned for its job prospects.

Okay I read chapter 6 of Freakonomics too. I'm literally in an office right now with 5 people around me, 4 black, 1 Hispanic and me. Dayvonne, Laquitta, Josh, Amare and Luis. All of us are in similar roles and bring in 6 figure salaries. I know the backgrounds of all of them except one and they all grew up poor as fuck, 1 of them coming here from Nigeria like 8 years ago. It's not about race.


Not going to lie, those names sound like you made them up to sound ethnic.
Most of the black guys i know are named david or michael or similar.

I read somewhere that western PA has like 17 of the worst water supplies in the USA primarily due to fracking and industry in the rust belt over the years. Way worse than flint
