Limbaugh: 12 yrs. a slave won because SLAVE is a magic word--WTH??

True, but he himself has absolutely no legal authority whatsoever to change, shape or alter your life in any way - unlike the disaster currently occupying the White House.

I wasn't going to. If you have a point to make, it falls on you to make it. It does not fall on me to research something you are trying to state.

 

Really! They were both making the same valid point. It totally escapes them.

 

So we can agree that blacks score significantly lower on IQ tests than Whites and Asians........and argue about the reasons for this significant difference..........we've made a lot of progress after about 10 posts!

 

Which had nothing to do with segregation or civil rights, that battle was over and the Republicans beat the segregationist Democrats who didn't suddenly jump over to the Republican party which had stood FOR desegregation and civil rights.

 

Link from someplace other than another lib blog please.

The Nazis suffered from this type of intellectual arrogance by thinking that the enigma code was indecipherable to non-Germans based on their lack of intelligence. Ironically, this false confidence in their own intellectual superiority became a major factor in their downfall.

 

Yes did you ever go to one of his live shows he traveled around doing them? Sells outs where he went and they were hilarious. Is John Maher a comedian? Jon Stewert a comedian? They are all entertainers.

But quite astute and the audience seemed to get it.

 

This Wiki entry gives no fewer than a half dozen studies (with appropriate links) establishing what I claimed.

You obviously don't have the first clue what the real story behind the Enigma Code is, how the Germans perceived it, and how it was ultimately deciphered.

 

Don't forget the first American slave owner, Anthony Johnson, was a black man. True story.

 

Like Stewart and Maher and Schultz?

 

Not one study in your link to your claim. Try again.

 

You can ask the exact same question again, but you'll only get the exact same answer:

A movie that may perpetuate white guilt won 'best picture'? No freaking way... Yet those racists in Hollywierd gave best actor to a Southerner...

 

Well the propositioned of your question is that it is true and the only question is the cause. If you didn't believe it true why would you ask whether the reason was this or that?

 

If you wanna make a successful movie, make it about slavery or the race riots of the 60s.

Django Unchained
Remember the Titans
54 (think that was the name of the Jackie Robinson movie)
The Great Debaters
12 years a slave
That movie about the first black college basketball team.

Blacks will go see it cause its about blacks.
Whites will go see it as a show of support to prove their not racist.

Admittedly I've seen RTT (its got Denzel) and the great debaters (Denzel again).

Guarantee money maker. Make a movie about the first black congressman or the first black college...

 

Dude, the American Psychological Association recognizes the fact that blacks score significantly lower on IQ tests than Whites and Asians.........and that is not exactly a bastion of right wing ideas..........Google is your friend...

 

If you took the time to read your own links you post, you would not embarrass yourself like this. Give us the study name.

 

You forget The Butler, which was a pretty damn bad movie. And let's face it, it had to be a (*)(*)(*)(*) poor film in order to receive nary a whisper at last night's ceremony.

 

Look, Limbaugh's picture is in the dictionary next to the phrase, "racist pig". He's also next to "hypocrite", "dope addict", "no-talent (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) mouthpiece for rich fascists," lots of things.

One thing Limbaugh will NEVER get is an Academy Award, in fact, I seriously doubt he's ever even been invited to attend them and "Slave" got one for best picture. What really surprised me wasn't his reflex racism but the fact that he didn't make any negative comment about "Gravity" which showed the heroics of a FEMALE astronaut which, as all good conservatives know, is impossible, and just one more example of Hollywood's depravity in undermining GA-HAWD's unchangeable plans which Rushtin got from GA-HAWD directly, one night after he took the whole bottle of Oxycontin. (That scoliosis must have been a real (*)(*)(*)(*)(*), but at least it kept him out of the Army)

 

My mistake. I misread what Wolfpack posted and was replying about something else.

What his link does say is this, "Group differences in IQ are best understood as environmental in origin."

 

And who could forget 'The Help'...........what better way to deal with 'White Guilt' than watching a movie about a black maid serving (*)(*)(*)(*) pies to their White employers..........good times!.......don't forget to take the kids

 

If you took the time to read my links, you would not embarrass yourself like this. The study names are there.

You asked for a link, I provided one. I don't have to hold your hand and walk you through it like a 4 year old requires.

 

That is an opinion that many brilliant people disagree with......they think the IQ difference is genetic in origin

 

Gee, thanks for the brilliant insight. I suppose next you'll be saying he will never win the Heisman Trophy either.

 

That too is just opinion. From Wolfpacks link.

A 2005 literature review article on the links between race and intelligence in American Psychologist stated that no gene has been shown to be linked to intelligence, "so attempts to provide a compelling genetic link of race to intelligence are not feasible at this time"

 

Exactly. Liberals love nothing more than seeing movies that depict all black people as being pure as the wind driven snow whilst simultaneously seeing white (southern) racists getting their comeuppance.

It is a mind numbingly and tediously simple formula to being feted by the Academy.

Translation: "We realize that blacks consistently and overwhelming statistically score lower on IQ tests, but we're absolutely terrified of implying there is any racial component to those results, so we're going to chicken out and pretend to ignore it."
