You trust whichever statistics happen to support your argument, and ignore everything else. INTERPOL is not an untrustworthy source.

As I said- any data that does not jive with your thinking must be wrong. Disregarding data just because you don’t like it is nonscientific thinking.

Your hatred of black people has affected your thinking. You just won’t accept any data, no matter the rigor of the study or the source, that shows that black people are not stupid and violent.

This explains something I have wondered about. Why does Greece, which is the first European nation that developed urban civilization, have a lower average IQ than Germanic countries, which developed urban civilization much longer?

[http://sq.4mg.com/NationIQ.htm](http://sq.4mg.com/NationIQ.htm)

The explanation seems to be the influx of Negro genes into Greece during the Roman Empire.

I am withholding judgement on the crime rate of Senegal, just as I am withholding judgement on the academic performance in the United States of Nigerian immigrants.

The average IQ in India is 81.

[http://sq.4mg.com/NationIQ.htm](http://sq.4mg.com/NationIQ.htm)

That is even lower than the average for American blacks. Nevertheless, Indian immigrants to the Untied States perform well academically. After one or two generations Indian American have average incomes as high or higher than for white Americans. India is a large country, and the brightest Indians are the ones that migrate here.

More of Lynn’s made-up data. And it’s convenient that you are withholding judgement on any data that conflicts with your narrative.

Because it sure fucking stinks of trolling to me. I’d prefer disability fantasists to our board racists. I know this fucking furrow has been plowed a number of times recently but seriously, what the fuck. Can you not ban the usual suspects from talking on the subject of race, or at least corral them into only posting about that bullshit in their own threads? It really brings down the quality of this board to have these fuckers here. I’m sick of it, especially when they infect threads of merit.  
Fuck that shit.

By all means, go to Athens and tell all the Greeks you meet that they’re poorer than Germany because they have **inferior Negro genes**!

You know, there’s a whole sub-specialty of white nationalism called Nordicism, which holds that Northern Europeans are inherently, genetically superior to peoples of Mediterranean origin.

I understand they’re always taking new members. Since it’s clear that you’ve completely lost your fucking mind, feel free to join!

It’s just my opinion, but I’d rather have an out of the closet racist than one still in the cupboard because at least then I know what I’m dealing with. It’s a wrong stance, but then, people have a right to wrong thoughts. It’s wrong actions that are actionable.

Encore more of the ad hoc explanations to try to hand wave away the data that shows you for what you are, a very stupid racist.

It is funny that you skip over [the article data](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3080861/table/pgen-1001373-t002/) that shows more sub-Saharan African ancestry among **Jews** of all origins, and the Greeks in there are \*\*Jewish. \*\*

Your ideas have no logic or coherence, they are nothing but the sad hateful muttering of an archaicism. It shows your desparation as your world view is falsified.

It also shows the great stupidity of his ad hoc argumentations about civilisation changing the genes of the population. He makes up his assertions for the need of the moment without any care for coherence or internal logic.

A troll is someone just trying to get a rise out of other people. If you are sincere in your racism, you are arguing in the same way as someone who is sincere in their non-racism. It’s not trolling. But really, if you have an issue with board policy, that’s best discussed in ATMB, not here.

This argument also applies to HEIGHT.

And I see you choose not to apologize (or acknowledge) that I totally called you on your use of “liberals” as a perjorative. Pulling a dick move 2 seconds after saying you don’t pull dick moves is just rich.

Yup. Can’t have it both ways.

Then again, we’ve all pretty much caught NDD out in a number of contradictions. I’m curious which of the hundreds of different evasions he’s already made made he’ll use this time.

My guess is more selective memory with a side of semantic argument.

If the folks from the Indian subcontinent are actually unintelligent, their statistics don’t match anybody else on the planet, as they send the 2nd most (behind China) graduate students to the US and have an ultra-competitive university system of their own. That’s no moo…um, bell curve. That’s one of the shittier examples NDD has given (and that’s saying a hell of a lot). That would be one heck of a bi-modal distribution (I’m guessing NDD couldn’t spot one of those, either).

Your complaining about **New Deal** posting in his own pitting?

I think the Mods already kept them from hijacking every thread about Africa with their beliefs, which seems reasonable. I don’t think completely muzzeling them is worth it though. Trying to censor all the stupid ideas floated on the SDMB isn’t really workable even if it was a good idea in any case.
