Why did you quote me? I just gave an accurate, objective analysis of the data as presented by the wiki on that study. Not sure why you thought I was injecting politics into it.
I do not think anybody is dismissing the presence of an IQ gap between people in the social group known as black and the people in the social group known as white. The main difference here is in explanation. You have people like myself taking the approach that environmental explanations have a history of being tested and the results can be applied to improve outcomes for everyone.
Then you have those who think it just has to be genes, or that there is some complex nuance involved (without specifying what the nature of that nuance is). The “genetic evidence” provided by this second group amounts to one thing: historically, black people in America come from different ethnic groups than white people in America. That’s the extent of the genetic evidence and its valid interpretation. Everything else beyond that is pure speculation. Coupled with this speculation is the most astonishing levels of ignorance regarding the study of genetics by people who purport to be students or eager hobbyists in the field. Yet they are not students of this field, but people who abuse the field for an agenda. They’re not “studying the genetics of intelligence and the genetic architecture of ethnic groups with respect to test scores design to measure intelligence”. Instead they are saying " ‘BLCKS R DUMB’ (I forgot how Honesty typed it out) and here is some genetic sounding stuff I got to ‘prove’ my ‘theory’ ". See the difference? The latter is a person who doesn’t actually give two shits about intelligence or genetics. They only want to add scientific trappings to their racist beliefs.
They don’t understand basic things, like the field of importance for them in understanding individual differences in IQ is behavior(al) genetics, not the population genetic studies they frequently point to. If they knew they were “students” of behavior genetics they might actually read an article or two and see how the association studies they sometimes reference are only the most basic tip of the iceberg. They’d know of the 1000s of studies that found an association between an allele of a gene or genetic marker and variability in some behavior only to be matched by a study that could not find such a relationship. Behavior genetics requires the analysis of the steps from a potential gene locus to the expression of a protein in a tissue that results in the modification of behavior. In all these many tiered processes of expression you have interaction between these processes and the environment. This is very hard to do and the field is hardly out of the gate on intelligence and has hardly scratched the surface on human intelligence. To say that there is any genetic information available to extrapolate to test score differences between human social groups is just a lie or the ignorant ramblings of a racist pseudoscientist.
And by the way, given the way you presented detractors’ responses to established science in evolution and global climate change, you are the one ignoring the data for an agenda.
