    I don't buy any of it. There are just too many highly intelligent blacks (call them statistical outliers if you want) that show blacks can be as intelligent as whites or Asians. That being the case, there are other reasons than native intelligence for the lower averages.

    There are certainly many highly intelligent Blacks.
    But no one claims ie, ALL whites are smarter than ALL Blacks... OR that ALL Asians are smarter than ALL whites.
    This is about Averages.
    Got it?
    The curves overlap, of course.
    Pick your party favor!

    It does have some bad implications at the low end however, and that IS what we DO see in society, as well as those "highly intelligent blacks."
    You forgot the other side of the curve - which is even more loaded - with those who aren't CNN anchors.

    when raised in a good strong family with a good education, good role models, good community support, good sense of self and opportunity for the future, blacks perform just fine.

    i dont give a (*)(*)(*)(*) if the AVERAGE Asian has better performance in math, science, and English.

    I really don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*).

    I've met too many intelligent, polite, friendly black persons to give a (*)(*)(*)(*).

    IOW, you reject the facts and go with your Volvo Politics.
    I tried to reason with you, but you have No Reason. Your PC was offended, and you have NO Rational comeback, so add Curse words as "strength".
    Alot of these: (*)(*)(*)(*).
    Just "I want to feel this way dammit!":

    Let me repeat my last reply since YOU OBTUSELY repeated what that last poster said near identically:

    There are certainly many highly intelligent Blacks.
    But no one claims ie, ALL whites are smarter than ALL Blacks... OR that ALL Asians are smarter than ALL whites.

    Very disappointing. I tried to reason with you, but you fell back on your Juvenile Politics.
    You have NO justification, just again: "I don't care, I Feel this way dammit!"
    Pathetic.

    Why should they?

    I mean, the utility of IQ testing is to determine who has the capacity for certain levels of intellectual work, either at a job or in school. That way we don't have to waste time trying to push people into classes and positions they're not capable of. So if, for whatever reason, they are unable to test well enough to get into Harvard Medical, doesn't that give you the information you need so that someone who has the ability to get through that type of rigorous program can take that position? Whether a person's failure is due to a single parent home or witnessing abuse seems irrelevant if it's unlikely they are intellectually up to the challenge.

    You don't seem to understand normal distribution. There are highly intelligent Blacks, just far fewer. The range of Black and White intelligence is likely the same.

    Why can't the government just spot Blacks 15 I.Q. points?:roflol:

    Yes, statistical outliers is the correct technical term.

    The further you move right along the bell curve the fewer high IQ blacks you see in comparison to whites, European descended Jews and Northeast Asians. I am unaware of blacks dominating any intellectual, professional or academic field.

    Perhaps the highly intelligent blacks you have in mind are just engineers, but not the leaders in the fields of engineering or any field?

    There is a huge difference between being in a field and leading a field.

    No I don't 'got it'. What the mountains of data AND accompanying statistical outliers indicate is that there are factors other than native intelligence at work. Averages don't mean a thing.
