Your deltoids must be amazing from all those chips you carry on your shoulders.
Oh you have A study? Well that settles it, then. I’m sure every one of the zillions of other studies done on race and achievement all say the exact same thing. No need to look any further! Thread finished! No more books on the topic need ever be written!
I’m not gonna enter into the debate because I’m not really strongly on either side of it. But the kind of half-assed reasoning you demonstrate here is not gonna help you with people in the middle.
There’s no other study that shows any sort of relationship between African genetic admixture and test scores, among black people, at least that I know of.
Many studies show black people scoring lower on various tests, but none of them correlate to any sort of specific genes or genetic markers.
We’re not here to “help anyone in the middle.” Just to point out facts. As iiandyiii said, “many studies show black people scoring lower on various tests, but none of them correlate to any sort of specific genes or genetic markers.” There is no “middle.”
Inability to accurately quote is also less than impressive.
I don’t know you, but if you’re new here you should know Marley is all about his Heather clique friends and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about “fighting ignorance.” He is all about (snaps bubble gum) us, us, us! He’s totally catty. Keep that in mind.
Ok, now we’ve reached the word salad stage.
Don’t you have sluts to shame or something?
Only you, honey bunny.
I can’t say I’m shamed by being called a slut, but OK. The problem is this, levdrakon: we have our racists and we have our woman-haters. They’ve always been separate and it’s unfair to ask you to shoulder the burden of being both a racist and a woman-hater. It’s too much work for any one asshole because you’ll get all slack and gross and just be sort of a troll. Pick one shtick and just work with it.
Oh, don’t stop there big boy. Godwinize me. You know you want to.
Feh. This is some lazy shit, and if there’s one thing the Nazis weren’t, it’s lazy.
Anti-semitic because!
My deltoids ? I don’t recall where those are, despite the notion that I’m a jock, or a jock-strap, maybe. It’s not a chip. It’s a log. Social injustice pisses me-off. It’s that simple.
Hilarious. You cretins have thread after thread dedicated to your POV… oh sorry, you have no strong opinion on it, you just have to run in like FP to defend racists… and that means that people are “running from the question.”
You can’t write fiction like this exchange. That’s why I prefer stream-of-consciousness thinking. It gets to the heart of things better than fiction can. Didn’t mean to derail this tet-e-tet. Word salad stage. Marvelous !
On any given issue, everyone accepts scientific studies that supports their side and dismisses studies that support the other side as “unscientific.”
Come on! Hector is doing a fine job being both. There can be more! You’re just trying to limit all of their glory.
History shows that this is a false equivalence.

You think there’s a “middle” on scientific racism?
Are we in “teach the controversy” territory?
That is so completely not what I said, or meant. But the fault is my own if my meaning was not clear. If you are wrong on that issue, then anyone that agrees with you on that issue is as wrong as you are and if someone else is right on that same issue, then they remain right no matter how dumb you find them to be. That was my intent, plain and simple, and certainly does not extend to any and all issues under the sun.
It might seem I’ve conflated wrongness with racist asshole-ness, and by extension that I am claiming that they’re wrong no matter what because they’re wrong on that issue. I am not in fact doing so. I have known racist assholes and I know for certain they are right on occasion. I fully accept I’ve been wrong before even though I’m not a racist asshole.
I regret the confusion my poorly constructed remarks might have caused.
