His post seems to have went over your head.


Seems so.

His last link even says with few controls the disparity can be eliminated.

Here's a whole bunch of studies showing stratification by race;

You're conflating two different concepts.
Saying that the races have stratified results is not the same thing as saying its based on nature, not nurture.
Racial demographics have disparate social conditions like culture, schooling and parenting that can produce different results- nurture.
The Bell Curve very explicitly stated it is not drawing any firm conclusion on the role of nature vs nurture as a cause, while acknowledging that evidence supports it being at least partially responsible.
They are quite clear:


These tests support my position, that it isn't based on race but other factors that can be controlled for. The last one even says that right in the abstract.

When you say it's stratified based on race, and you can eliminate race as a factor with a few social controls, it's not based on race.

Planned Parenthood was founded by a racist and eugenicist.


So was the United States.

If I’m not mistaken, the election is pretty much the Democrats to lose. That being the case - Biden didn’t do bad enough to lose that leverage and Trump didn’t do well enough to sway any more votes to his side.. Cletus is still going to vote Trump, Ethel is still going to vote Biden and undecided voters are probably more unsure than they were prior to this shit sh...I mean “debate”.

At least according to the Luntz focus group, Biden got points among undecideds.

Honestly, this election is so stark I really can't figure out the mindset of somebody without an opinion at this point.

I think a lot of people had this mentality. It's frankly an easy choice now.

the money remained at the treasury, it wasn't refunded so he did pay millions to the IRS for federal income taxes. NYT reported it and says so right there.

As long as the GOP holds the Senate, I'm fine with Biden being president.
