i wonder how some of pards members feel about there being black people with phds and shit

does the fact that the race you so despise is literally no different than your own despite the skin color difference enrage you that much, whitey?


its whites near the end of the bell curve of IQ laughing that their races bell curve out performs another races bell curve. "my team won, i ride the bench, but we won so i win".

in my opinion, intelligence is highly heritable (nature), but intelligence is improved upon by generations of rigorous studying (nurture)

so if you're born dumb, you're not screwed, you can increase your intelligence through years of study, then your children will inherit that extra intelligence

That's called Lamarkism and simply isn't how traits are inherited. We checked a long long time ago.

So? That doesn't mean anything.

It wasn't until recently that white liberals started to really focus on helping black people do better on IQ tests, for ideological reasons (they want to prove the racists wrong). If left on their own, black people probably have little motivation to want to do well on these tests.


Tests we are already good at doing, get it?

The whole topic is speculative as there is still no great consensus within the scientific community how the brain actually works or what intelligence is. Plenty of leading theories, massive amounts of data, and lots of pseudo science fields around this. Establish first principles then start dividing people else it's just fantasy draft BS.

I don't think a lot of white people are trying to talk up their race. They just want to talk about black people's lower intelligence level, because this is a taboo subject, and it can have implications for civilization.

I test between 130-145 consistently, feel free to take one with me and see how you do.

I never said I am intelligent. You could be smart, but so what? You are just one individual. The entire black population still has lower than average intelligence levels.
