Hey can I ask you something? While I see no moral issue with studying anything and everything about human beings, our similarities, our differences, by race or whatever., what exactly are you personally hoping to accomplish by posting those links? I don't think we should suppress such data, and I'm not going to downvote you because I think that's chicken shit, but what do you personally feel you glean from that information, and what do you hope others glean from it?
Did it help you gain a little pride in your identity as a white person at one time, and you want the same for others? Because I can totally appreciate that--I really can. I think I'm as tired as anybody of being pinned the race of evil, privilege, etc. I guess I just don't see the point of posting this on a public forum. Not because I think you're a racist, not because I think others will think so and thus, think I'm a racist, but rather, because what good would these studies do for the non-white pedes who frequent here?
Why help put that in THEIR heads? Why give them reasons to doubt the heights to which they can climb? You know what I hated as a kid? The movie "White Men Can't Jump." I fucking HATED being told I was limited by my skin color. I didn't care if it was true, it made me feel like shit. But how true was it really? How many white kids out there don't even TRY to jump high or play basketball because of the stigma that they're not genetically cut out for it? Yet there are some great white basketball players out there. Could there not be more if we didn't fill their heads with limitations?
My best friend is black. And I love him to death. And while I can see how these studies might help YOU personally overcome some stigmas that it seems society has tried to place upon us, why contribute to stigmatizing other groups in the same way? I don't know, man. Maybe you are just a racist, but I'd rather give you the benefit of the doubt. I just...while I see how this could be helpful and inspiring to individual white people wondering what kind of value they can offer a world that seems to vilify them, it seems it can be equally discouraging to people of the other races mentioned in those studies, and surely you're not so stupid as to think only white people frequent here...
So yeah I guess I'm just wondering about your motives.
Do you understand what a statistical outlier is? Being white doesn't mean you have high IQ and being black doesn't mean you have low IQ. These are averages.
I'm baffled that you don't understand the general importance of knowing this information or its relevance to this issue. They are trying to eliminate gifted programs (the programs that encourage our best and brightest to lead us to grand new achievements) because not enough black people qualify for them. The left wing position is that this is because of a conspiracy of evil white people seeking to hold black people down (it is strange that white supremacists would design tests that Asians beat them at). The actual reason is rooted in biology.
The truth might upset some folks, but what do people around here like to say about facts and feelings?
Why is thier first thought always to bring everyone 'down' to the same level? Why not lift people up by encouraging them to be their best? And why are they so racist, themselves? Always assuming it's the minorities who aren't measuring up?
Why do they think gifted students are from a specific ethnic background? Fucking racists.
A civilization that rewards victimhood over excellence will cultivate very little excellence
Thats the goal. The ruling class and the uneducated, weak, starving slave class.
IQ is racist
You definitely shouldn't look at any studies about genetics and IQ. That would be very naughty and rebellious of you.
