Despite repeated claims to the contrary, there has been no narrowing of the 15- to
18-point average IQ difference between Blacks and Whites (1.1 standard deviations);
the differences are as large today as they were when first measured nearly
100 years ago. They, and the concomitant difference in standard of living, level of
education, and related phenomena, lie in factors that are largely heritable, not
cultural. The IQ differences are attributable to differences in brain size more than to
racism, stereotype threat, item selection on tests, and all the other suggestions given
by the commentators. It is time to meet reality. It is time to stop committing the
“moralistic fallacy” that good science must conform to approved outcomes.
http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushtonpdfs/pppl2.pdfHerper derples, there's no recent data available so we're totally going to pretend that achievements on tests with a .9 correlation to IQ are just "Scholastic achievement."
Good talk.

Blacks voting for white democrats more when there isn't any black person running? ASTOUNDING!
What a great comeback, that definitely doesn't reinforce my point while making yours look incredibly stupid or anything.

If you knew anything about IQ testing, it's g-loading that makes the tests significant. Otherwise it's far less certain that the IQ tests are actually testing intelligence and rather standardized testing. .8 or .9 of standardized testing, not g-loading.
Again, in absence of actual numbers, just pretending that there's been no change rather than using the numbers we do have is really fucking stupid.

Just a coincidence, right?

This post proves that you're literally not qualified or educated enough to be in this conversation. Please stop using PaRD to overcompensate for your lack of education.
