I’m quoting a CP post in the Pit thread so we can conduct the “debate” here rather than in the Pit.
Then don’t.
Right. And there isn’t any evidence. Which has been my point for most of the thread.
And to believe your hypothesis (without any evidence, mind you), you must believe in some immense coincidences: you believe that it’s just a coincidence that the poorest and lowest-scoring large ethnic group in America just happens to be the one that was the most brutally treated over the past several centuries- you believe that there is no causal link between these two things. You believe that it’s just blind “luck” that the “dumbest” American ethnic group (according to you) is the one that is descended from the most brutally treated- and you believe there is no causal link here. You believe that centuries of terrible treatment, physically, psychologically, and economically, do not continue to have effects on our media, culture, and the physical, psychological, and economic well being of these past victims’ descendants.
That’s quite a coincidence to believe in, with no evidence.
