New Deal Democrat is a great user name for you, because the New Deal made a point to exclude blacks from its benefits. Feel proud that you’re part of a decades old tradition of hatred.
I was making an off-hand remark in a pit thread. I spent the amount of intellectual firepower in making that remark as I felt was commensurate to the original piece of idiocy to which I was replying (that is to say, not very much at all).
Sure - “dumb people can shoot or bomb smart people”. However, it takes smart people to come up with the novel ways in which that bombing or shooting is done. In the cases I mentioned, that would be deep-sea iron warships and atomic bombs.
In the fields of political and military science, it most certainly was.
I never said I thought IQ tests were worthless (though their worth in discussing genetic theories of intelligence is highly suspect). I said that the differences observed between different national or racial groups on these tests do not support a predominantly genetic basis for those differences. Culture, broadly speaking, is far more important than genes.
See above (yes).
Yes, I agree. And let me repeat - “Sub-Saharan Africans have been cursed by their geography, not their genes.”
Of course there is less racism today than 50 years ago. When you popint out that crime rates and teenage pregnancies among blacks are higher today than 50 years ago, are you saying that blacks have gotten stupider? I don’t think you are saying that blacks havea ctually gotten stupider over the last 50 years and that has cuassed higher rates of incarceration and teen pregnancy.
Couldn’t whatever is causing the higher ratesd of teen pregnancy and crime also be stunting whatever progress you might have expected from the lower levels of racism in society today. I think you could make a good argument that the black community suffers from self inflicted wounds but i think its hard to say that the black community simply isn’t capable of doing better than they are doing now because they are just too stupid.
And… you say that like it’s a good thing? That our current social consensus that Nazi racial policies are worthy of revulsion is somehow misplaced?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Okay, I’ll give you some credit for this one. So many racists retreat behind the excuse of “I grew up in a different time” and “that’s the way I was raised”.
You deserve credit for the fact that you’re willing to let your parents off the hook for your racism and take full responsibility upon yourself.
What are your qualifications to interprete the science?
Really? They always fail? You’re claiming that no black person has ever graduated from college or obtained any success in an academic or professional field? You think there are no black doctors or black lawyers or black engineers or black scientists or black professors?
Yes. And you know damn well that’s the case in the context of this discussion, or you and your JAQoff buddies wouldn’t expend so much effort trying to show scientificamally (with charts and figgers and everything!) that blacks are less intelligent.
I can read and I can think.
Now since you think you are qualified, please explain why racial differences in average ability levels and behavior are so durable. If the differences are due to different environments, why are they not more malleable? Also, why do some racial groups - Ashkenazim and Chinese for example - create thriving environments wherever they live and move, even when they are poor? Does a superior environment create a superior people, or does a superior people create a superior environment?
I am talking in terms of averages. There are black doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, and professors. These demonstrate that talented blacks can rise.
My parents grew up in the north and had little contact with blacks. So did I until I became an adult. As time went on my parents and I became disenchanted with the collective black response to the opportunities that were opened to then by the civil rights legislation.
My attitude toward the Negro race is one of disappointment and personal betrayal. I feel that they have substantiated arguments I argued against when I was growing up. It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this. When blacks were given equal rights they were supposed to respond with equal responsibility.
Instead, the result of the civil rights legislation and the war on poverty was five years of black ghetto rioting, more durable increases in black social pathology, and what seems to be a widening gap in academic performance.
And there are far more black doctors, engineers, etc, then there were 50 years ago. What does this demonstrate?
The revulsion against the Holocaust made it fashionable to deny and ignore truths that had always been obvious. It is worth mentioning that the Holocaust was directed against the most superior racial group in the world.
More lies and delusions. You are one demented asshole.
By nearly every criteria I can think of black culture has declined since the civil rights legislation was passed. Soul music was a phenomena of the 1960s and early 1970s, but compare it with rap music.
I do not see how whites can be blamed for the increase in black social pathology since the civil rights legislation was passed.
What did I say that is not true? You are an abusive child who is incapable of debating controversial topics in an intelligent and civil manner.
It demonstrates that the civil right legislation has opened opportunities for blacks who have the personal merit to take advantage of them.
So far you’ve offered little evidence of the latter.
- That these “truths” exist.
- That they are “obvious”.
- That there is in fact one racial group which is the most “superior” in the world.
- That Jews comprise this “superior” group. (No offense intended to Jews, of course.)
You are a fucking retard who will never realize what a waste you have made of the little good sense with which you have been endowed.
Blacks are stupid because some nerdy white guy doesn’t like rap music?
Makes about as much sense as everything else, I suppose.
