That’s a nice notion, do you have any statistics to back it up? We just can’t keep pretending we don’t have the data. I’m all for sensible conservative minorities and treat them as allies but we can’t just pretend that we don’t know that statistically blacks are responsible for our massive crime problem. Those two joggers who drugged raped and murdered that white girl in Miami had no remorse, and it’s not an uncommon case. Look at interracial rape stats and tell me more about higher order executive functions.
It isn't a statistics-based concept. Humans have higher-order executive functions as a matter of biology. That's the entire reason why we have a more developed frontal lobe relative to every other animal on the planet.
You act as if having higher order executive functions is somehow a substitute for choice. That's where you're failing. You presume that the two guys who raped that woman just did so out of some base instinct. They exercise executive function and chose to commit the crime.
No one's arguing that black people aren't statistically more responsible for crime, but that once again does not invalidate the previous assertion. You can't apply group statistics to individuals without prior observation.
Apply your same thought process to male vs. female.
Yes let’s apply the same thought process to why men commit more violent crime than women. Men have testosterone and have evolved to be more aggressive. This same evolutionary pressure is seen in racial groups.
I’m not exactly sure what point you’re trying to make here. You seem to be making my point for me while adding a little “but you can’t just judge people” on the end.
We already know why, but you're still dodging the point.
You're "not exactly sure" because you're being disingenuous, and your usage of dogs as an analogy (thereby ignoring the biological differences between humans and dogs) combined with your last sentence proves it.
I’m not comparing dogs to humans I’m comparing different breeds of dog. It’s common knowledge that some breeds exhibit certain behaviors and have certain genetic predispositions. This is true for humans as well. There are genetic factors that cause certain races to be more susceptible to certain diseases. These differences are the result of humans evolving in different areas with different sets of challenges. Intelligence is no different. Humans who lived in cold climates needed to adapt their brains to long term planning and more advanced tool use. Humans in temperate climates had less selection pressure for these traits.

Maybe you should restate your point more clearly.
