I had some questions on my IQ test that required me to remember basic math formulas. The Phythagorean Theorem is great to know and all, but I'm guessing it does little good for nomads living in the bush. The ability to find water is quite useful, however. But they don't ask how to find to find water in the bush on an IQ test. So our prep school kid will die knowing that he has a higher IQ but couldn't find water or food.

Was explaining the 'Pythagorean Theorem' one of the requirements on the IQ test given to the Bushmen?

You mean 'Supreme King of All Bushmen'. Naw, he'll get the locals to bring him water, it's part of his heritage.

So the answer is yes, then. Quite a bragging point. I'd be proud, too.

If they were smart, they couldn't be exploited. Which brings us back on topic.

White people are, in general, smarter than black people.

It is what it is.

if you already have that expectation youre going to look for it in people you have a prejudice against. if a white person exhibited irresponsibility and laziness, would you jump to the same conclusion, that its because of their skin color?

No, I'd just say he's a lazy mother(*)(*)(*)(*)er.

This isn't about any particular person, it is about a trend within a culture or race.

There are successful blacks and worthless, brokedick whites. I teach my boys these things as well.
