Perhaps, but before I answer that question I would need to know exactly what conclusion you are referring to. Please quote it.
Also: Who has better credentials: You or the authors of “The Bell Curve”?
Also, please answer my question from before:
Do you agree that in the linked article, the authors observe a gap between blacks and whites which is not explained by the factors they cite? If you agree, do you think their observation is an anomaly? And if not, what do you think the reason is for that gap?
Sure. Please quote the part of the report which asserts that controlling for environmental influences explained all of the observed differences in academic achievement between African Americans and whites. (Not just those measured in kindergarten).
You know? I think we’re being mean to our racist brothers here. Even they feel that hating blacks for no apparent reason is wrong. Unfortunately, much of the evidence they’re using to avoid being racist in their own minds is flawed, created by “logical” constructs in their own minds, or in cites they obviously don’t understand.
I think we should pity them… they obviously will not change their minds, if only for the reason that they would have to face the fact that they are as racist as everyone here already knows.
Well, at least I got an apology from brazil84. I may be the only poster on this board, indeed the only person in the history of the world, who’s managed that.
Yes, (ETA: I’m not sure who had the best credentials) and in fact I have read that book. I have also read “The Mismeasure of Man”; the “Bell Curve,” and numerous other sources on these issues.
Darn, it looks like brazil apologies are cheaper than I thought. Go ahead and accept his apology, Truman, I want to see him demand the cite of your credentials again, because his apology was contingent on “if you did”, therefore you must show that you did.
Wow, ultimatums and everything. So what is the implied threat: that you’ll add him to your list? At some point we will all be on your ‘liars list’ of ignored posters, and you will be on ours, and then we can all get some peace.
Of course, b84 is so stupid that he doesn’t understand the answer when you give it to him. And I’m not going to put him on ignore, this is top notch comedy here. I never thought that I would get this much stupidity from one person EVAR!
And for some occasions (when they did not have concurrent measurements of those factors), they didn’t?
And I take it that you are unable to quote any part of the report which asserts that controlling for environmental influences explained all of the observed differences in academic achievement between African Americans and whites. (Not just those measured in kindergarten)?
In what subject is your PhD; what university awarded it; and why should I care?
Your conclusion is more valid? Who do you think you are?
Your conclusion is NOT valid, are you a recognised genetic scientist?
Did you published any scientifically approved papers on that matter?
It doesn’t matter if someone like Stephen Hawking comes to a conclusion to you; it’s not valid if it does not fit your argument?
