It’s incredible. I’m still talking about it IRL. Today at lunch I was like, ''You are not going to believe this guy I found on the internet…" I mean, I just finished watching a documentary on the Civil War and some of the things NDD says could be ripped right out of the headlines from the fucking 1800s. It’s like being transported back in time.
Thank you for making such a clear and carefully argued post as your first contribution to this message board. May your stay here be long and productive.
Not a lot, it turns out.
Aww, Christ. Another one?
So seanmaric joined in February, I’m assuming from the fact that his post count is showing that he was actually a member, he made two posts and got banned. That went well.
Clearly the mods are trying to quash unpopular views. Come see the violence inherent in the system!
Sock, I’m guessing. Not NDD’s, I suppose, or he’d be banned too.
No easy pickings I see, guys like seanmaric are so sad and pitiful that they even fall for a mega whoosh thinking that it is a compliment to them.
I don’t think his post count was showing before he was banned.
And, yeah, probably sock. Wonder whose. Probably an already banned troll just stirring up trouble, since neither NDD nor brazil have also been banned, and thus it’s presumably not theirs.
The reason it matters is that there are a lot of people in the US with political power who obsess over disparate racial outcomes and insinuate that it these outcomes are the result of white racism and push (directly and indirectly) for a lot of resources to be spent “closing the gap.”
In pretty much any new engineering process there are a lot of failures. Most people can accept that a few test pilots will be killed now and then in developing new aircraft and spacecraft. Can you accept that a few children may be born with serious problems as a result of your genetic engineering program?
Also, will your typical mother who produces a low IQ child be all that into the idea of trying to produce a high IQ child?
There’s more to my position than that, but that is part of my position.
Suit yourself.
In this case, there is overwhelming evidence for my position, specifically that black underachievement is pretty much universal in both space and time. Despite a lot of efforts to “close the gap.”
Do you apply this same standard to other groups?
For example, one can observe that Ashkenazim generally have certain characteristics which Han Chinese do not.
Similarly, one can observe that the Aka people generally have certain characteristics which Maasai people do not.
It seems very likely that a lot of these differences are due to genetics – for example eye color, hair color, and in the case of the Aka people, height.
And yet no scientific definitions of these groups are necessary to make these observations and conclusions. Agreed?
Lol, nice attack on my motivations. I ignore people who insist on violating my rules.
By the way, please provide a quote to demonstrate your claim that " The genetic marker idea is [my] own assertion. " Failing that, please admit that I said no such thing and apologize.
Ummm, does that mean yes or no?
It’s a simple question:
Do you agree that some of the observed differences between Race 1 and Race 2 are the result of genetics?
Are you seriously disputing that differences in eye color between two large groups of people is caused substantially by genes?
Let me ask you this: Is there any observed difference between any two groups of people which you will stipulate is largely the result of genetics? Or is it always “illogical” to believe that any such difference is the result of genetics?
What argument are you talking about?
Ok, so you are saying that you don’t know whether Ashkenazim and ethnic Germans can be grouped by their genes? Right?
And what exactly would I look for to determine whether a particular group can be grouped by its genes? Would I look for a gene (actually an allele) which is found in all members of that group but in no other group? Or something else?
No, 84, not until you answer Mr. Eykers questions. Your little game is boring and transparent. It is obvious to all of us.
Different people in this thread have made different claims. I am happy to explain the basis and meaning of my claims to anyone (not on my ignore list) who asks.
What makes you so sure there is no achievement gap in the UK and Germany?
Have a look at Table 4, which shows test scores for black children on the CAT (cognitive abilities test) as being significantly lower than those of white children.
What’s the basis for your claim that there isn’t an achievement gap in the UK and Germany?
I don’t engage with people who misrepresent my position. Which you have clearly done.
Goodbye, liar.
In addition, blacks have a rate of violent crime that is over seven times the white rate.

Consequently, race profiling is an appropriate way for the police to proactively reduce the crime rate.
Man you are one evil stupid jackass. It takes a real piece of shit to advocate innocent people get harassed by the police for looking to dark.
I hear by advocate the parents of racist trash, who are too genetically defective to get themselves spayed and neutered after seeing the fail of their genes, receive blood letting genital punches.
Someone please report this, and mods, remember I’m wishing harm on a class, not New Deal Democrat, so if you warn me, you must warn him for all the times he wishes harm on a class in the name of fairness. It’s a well known fact the Dope has posters of darker complexion, that he’s advocating being harassed.
If you wish to campaign against affirmative action, positive discrimination, gender quotas or whatever, I’ll be right there with you. I agree that those things are wrong, and many people in this thread have also stated this.
And I don’t need to say one group is weaker on average than another to hold that position.
There is only one motivation I’ve seen behind efforts to “out” Group A as being weaker at something than Group B: so everyone in Group B (particularly the weaker members, who are the most insecure) can think they are superior to everyone in Group A.
And this thread is typical. One minute it’s averages, the next it’s sweeping statements that imply every black person is the same.
