    Intelligence Tests Are Racist!

    Original article over at Reuters.

    The gist of it is that Dr. James Watson, the scientist who described the DNA double helix, said a "racist" remark. Quoted from the article:

    In an interview published in the October 14, 2007 edition of the Sunday Times, Watson was quoted as saying he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa". "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really."
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    Sigh, same shit everyday. I can't stand stupidity... or socialists.

    Shame the world is full of 'em.

    (Clarification: the doctor is of course not racist.)

    Isn't he just reaffirming the notion put out by people saying the IQ test is culturally biased? Did he even mention genetics?

    So, when Al Sharpton says the tests are culturally biased because the questions are unfair to black people (ie., the questions being asked are not representative of the kinds of things black people would know, ie., it is a different form of intelligence), it is fine. A white person saying the same thing without using the terminology a moron would use is racist...I guess that sounds about right. Or, maybe some black people didn't understand it.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    And that's how the racism is done in the US. It's only racist if you're white.

    You know, if white men stopped acting like sociately whipped underdogs, they wouldn't be treated as such...

    Sad, but this is what you get when you follow the crowd.

    We are starting to, but we're getting called "racist" for doing it.

    Not that I give a fuck.

    Good man.

    I'm trying very hard not to hate blacks by default, but shit like NAACP, BET, Affirmative Action make it difficult.

    See, I've been doing a lot of thinking on this subject. I actually don't hate any group of people because I'm starting to understand the cause of my frustration with them.

    In a nutshell, I think that it was the violently socially imposed empowerment of women and minorities in the 60's that caused the white men to basically lose sight of who they really are. It's basically social conditioning by activist groups, and feministis that really defined our relationships with various groups and women. You can't really blame the white men for acting the way they do, because as a whole, we've been left extremely confused. Basically, the society tells us that it's not ok to be who we are.

    Also, the dislike you're experiencing is actually just a reaction to the stereotype that you somehow have to value and accept. What makes you dislike black people is their role models (read; gangbangers ala 50cents, 2packs, etcs)...THe society and the media glorifies them and in your heart you know that's not right. They're not role models, they're trash. So basically, I think that's what's causing discord in you.

    See, like literaly overnight it's somehow became okay and socially encouraged to be, yellow, black, gay, lesbian, gangbanger, stripper, porn star, dominatrix, prostitute, escort service, gogo dancer, pole dancer, drug addict, ....this is what the media glorifies.


    ...but it's not okay to be a (white) man? I know for a fact that this is what really bothers you guys. This is why I don't play the social game. I just treat all people with respect now, and it works great. Plus, I'm finally able to see through to who they really are w/o any socially imposed stereotypes getting in the way.

    You're in canada, it's very different there. You go 100 miles south to upstate NY you'll see a radical change in the social dynamics.

    You would be suprised. That is a very blanket statement.

    We have the same issues. Just our population base, doesn't glorify it the same way.

    I lived in Sudbury for a while. Of course as a nation you'r'e going to have issues, but in general, as a whole, the people are different and the mindset is diffferent. Canadians are a far more natural (they hold less back) in their behavior than Americans do. Americans are far more afraid as a social group.

    That's because if we do anything remotely competitive on a large scale with blacks or even strive for TRUE equality, we have fucking Al Sharpton on TV organizing a rally against the "white slave master race".

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    Liberia is a haven for all blacks in America who feel oppressed by the rule of evil whitey.

    As I understand it, intelligence has some genetic components, but is largely based on upraising as well. I.e. playing the memory game with a three year old makes them smarter.

    I am not surprised that blacks don't test as well, because unfortunately much of their culture doesn't value education in the same way others do. That doesn't necessarily mean its genetic.

    However, I did read that humans who come from places that have four seasons evolved to be smarter, because they had to do more planning to survive.
