    It has worked. While the average I.Q. for Sub-Saharan Africans is reported at about 70 the average I.Q. of Black Americans, a mixture of White and Black is 85, about halfway between the two.

    His position was that Blacks will continue to be a drag on our society, if I remember correctly. It certainly has been true in the past, just look at Detroit, Baltimore, et. al.

    Why shouldn't it be true in the future?

    American Indians and Jews have probably maintained the purest blood lines. Most of us are mutts but we all gravitate toward those who look like us, think like us, and live like us.

    No dude - the success of these people prove that at any time, people from any race can be born with superior intellect and capabilities, and
    to make public policy that would limit the exceptional because of race is asinine and wasteful.

    We can point to thousands of black Americans who are more successful and contribute more to society than YOU. So what is it? Do we limit
    the horizon of black Americans - or do we start studying why YOU are sub standard.

    - - - Updated - - -

    There are millions of white people who do not excel because of lack of effort.
    Effort does not make a good indicator of intelligence.

    That's Whiteaphobic!

    How can you discriminate against a whole class of people in such a way?!

    I suggest you hit the back of your own hand with a ruler for every person you have offended in here, starting with me.

    I suggest that everyone just learn to live with it. Stop dumbing things down for the sake of political correctness.

    Your skin color has nothing to do with your intelligence. The left has been treating blacks like stupid children for decades...look at the result.

    There are folks who are more successful than I am. Some are smarter, some work harder. Some are just lucky. I wouldn't exactly call myself a failure. I have a couple of college degrees, first in my family. Daddy didn't pay for them. I drive a new Corvette, paid cash.

    Leftists can not stop thinking about race!

    I think you are trolling a bit when you describe this as a "distinct school of conservative thought." It should be strictly a scientific theory, not an ideological talking point.

    But I'll pretend to take your question seriously even though I think you meant it just to troll and are not interested in any sort of honest answer. We already can seem to accept there is a difference in intelligence among individuals, so I don't think there is any difference in policy between having individuals with differing IQ's or groups.

    -You need more complete standardized testing to determine where everyone sits on the Bell Curve* for IQ.

    -You need educational classes and schools to be sorted by ability, so dumber kids are not frustrated in classes that are going too fast for them. You should have high schools in which Algebra I can be done in either 1 semester, or spread out over a year or maybe two for slower students. I think if we put kids in classes that more closely matched their ability and pace at learning, there would be less frustration and drop outs.

    -Stop shipping jobs overseas that can be done by those on the left hand side of the Bell Curve* while touting jobs that require advanced technical degrees that half the country is never going to qualify for.

    And really that's it. I don't know what policies you had in mind but these make the most sense to me in a world where people have differing abilities.

    The right wingers who generally ramble on about blacks supposedly being less intelligent than whites usually themselves tend to have IQ's hovering around room temperature. Basically, they are the losers of society who blame their problems and Americas problems on blacks. Chances are, a significant portion of them currently support the orange race baiting moron who is currently the GOP's presidential nominee. Nobody really cares what they think in "real life" (not even Trump), which is why they flood internet political forums (specifically political forums that lean to the right) with their racist drivel, hoping to garner supporters to their "cause".

    To make THEIR claim, not mine, is that "they" should be educated and trained for jobs more suited to physical abilities than mental abilities.

    While I DISAGREE with this on a RACIAL level, I DO agree on an intelligence, abilities, potential skills and personal interests level.

    Basically a large percentage of he population will have an IQ above average and half below average (average is 100). Nor do students have the same abilities academically. Some can memorize well, but are poor at logic. Some are great at logic but terrible at abstraction or aesthetics. Some are good with physical coordination, some are terrible at it. Some are muscular. Some are weak. Nor do they have the same interests, desires and hopes.

    But to government they are ALL 100% identical.

    Schools treat ALL students as identical clones with identical measures, education and testing of each. In my opinion, this dehumanizing children to a clone herd, which is both ethically wrong and highly destructive to both the students and society.

    Because ALL abilities are measured by schooling - which does not actually relate to skills and abilities whatsoever other than academic, millions of people are branded as basically worthless upon that universal standard.

    Treating children like cattle is bureaucratically easy, but is wrong.

    But can you tie this to intelligence? Everyone was hurt in Detroit because of the crash. Riots in Baltimore and elsewhere are a result of anger.

    Asians are not smarter than other races, they just work harder at it than anyone else.

    You could try stopping affirmative action, and stop insisting that the minimum wage be raised.

    Those less intelligent than others simply aren't worth 15 dollars an hour, nor can they hang with higher education. What you end up with is what you have. High unemployment and education loans that can't be paid off.

    Outside of America, none of these things apply. I live in a place where the top academic high schools are above 95% non-white ... and I live in a majority white country. Are you able to extract anything useful from that?

    I've suggested many times in this forum... that the anti-blackness a significant number of Whites express (here and in society), is nothing less than a neurotic obsession.

    There are large numbers of people of EVERY ethnic and cultural persuasion... that are awesome and contribute positively to this society. Seeking to project one's lack of accomplishment or failure, by scapegoating Blacks and other minorities... has been an affliction in this society for many generations. :(

    none of that data explains how and why the differences are there.
