[QUOTE]Originally posted by fawal: [QB] [QUOTE]You're illiterate then, as almost all of those posts contain information directly applicable to the subject of black american testing, the "African American Intelligence Quotient", and so on. [/QUOTE]Typical afrocentrist, quick to result to silly ad hominem attacks when someone is trying to hold a rational discussion with you. I'm illiterate? I find that very hard to believe especially since I'm not the one who actually believes that the Ancient Carthaginians were all negroes, despite the fact that countless busts, coins and frescoes clearly show that they were not. [QUOTE]But its pretty clear from your vague and casual usage of terms like "races" that i'm probably not conversing with anyone knowledgeable. [/QUOTE]Nothing vague about it. And I find it quite hilarious that you would lambaste my use of the term, especially since almost every single thread on this board is devoted to the discussion of race. [QUOTE]With African Americans in fixed environments scores are equal to or superior to those of mixed or white children, and black Americans outside of those environs have been shown to have scores that drop from virtual equality with whites by as much as 15 points before leveling out at age 25. [/QUOTE]Please provide for me the exact source for this claim; I have a very busy schedule and as such I have no time to winnow through hundreds of posts. And after you have done as such, please explain to me why it is exactly this data does not correlate to reality: explain to me why it is that Howard University, a predominantly black school, has a graduation rate of 54% when the University of Virginia, a predominantly white school, has one of 92%. Why is it that black americans consistently score the lowest on standardized test scores such as the SAT, GRE, MCAT and the LSAT? At the school that I attend I am enrolled in course 20 (biological engineering), and out of 137 juniors only six are black; Why is this? In my previous post I drew reference to "Head Start," why is it that this program proved more effective in helping poor whites as opposed to poor blacks? [QUOTE]Anything empirical, anything aside from being *linked* with physical evidence is purely theoretical and purely uninteresting to me (physical evidence = actual gene expression -- not IQ, g-factor, "intelligence", dark hair, light skin, big teeth, long nose, etc). [/QUOTE][URL=http://www.livescience.com/health/090311-brain-scan-iq.html]Its not "theoretical," its science.[/URL] And yes though you are right about the fact that at present there isn't any genetic evidence to substantiate such an idea (something as complex as human intelligence would be polygenetic and as such the exact genetic sequence would take years to analyse), it really isn't all that far-fetched when you look at it in terms of simple Darwinistic principles. Also, let me just add that I am in no way advocating the idea that blacks are less intelligent than whites or asians. I am just simply pointing out the fact that data from standarized testing does in fact show that there is a difference between groups of people in terms academic achievement: Why is it that Asian and Jewish Americans are overrepesented in science and math based careers, yet African Americans are so grossly underrepresented, despite the fact that both groups combined make up less than 10% of the total US population, while blacks make up 13%. And the excuse about all this being due to racism, really doesn't suffice, since if you look at the stats from [URL=http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2007/victims.htm]this government site[/URL], anti-semetism is almost just as bad as anti-black racism.
