What a joke, this man has truly lost his marbles, and as the article stated this is truly a case of scientific racism, and such remarks are very offensive.

I don't recall the pyramids being built by westerners.

What a disservice he has done to science. This kind of racism is not healthy for young children in the classroom where they are children of different races. What a way to teach racism in the classroom.

This creates an excellent opportunity for Continental and Diasporic Africans. We should counter argue that Western oppression against Africans in the form of colonization, genocide, slavery, and other crimes against humanity have left a huge psychological scar, which gives the appearance that we are far less intelligent than we truly are. To prove it, we demand the removal of all non-descedents of indigenous Africans from the continent of Africa and allow African people to live there amongst themselves, providing for themselves, with self determination and with no outside interference. Then in a century we'll take their IQ tests and they can take our IQ tests. By then, we'd be crowned jewels of the planet...again!

think about it people. if you knew that the men of another group could take your woman at any time and she would never want to go back to you. if you knew they could run faster and farther. if you knew they had them quick muscles and reflexes. if you knew every time you let them in law school they came out and ate your lunch with your OWN laws. now, wouldn't you try to find some advantage? i ain't mad at homie, i understand him.

and yes, mine is bigger. his wife told me so........

"I don't recall the pyramids being built by westerners."

Well stated Corals. Nips this nut case's "scientific" assumption in the bud.

"It also makes me wonder who is funding this research and the agendas behind it all. Regardless of how much scientists rail on and on about their alleged objectivity, there is always some loaded interest in the findings generated by these researchers."

If there is anything we need to be concerned about it is what Sonflour stated above.

What these crackers and supporters of the bell curve deliberately fail to mention is they don't know the average IQ only explains what a person has learned in school. These MF's selectively choose to believe IQ tell us about "intelligence" of an individual, not so. IQ tell us very little about a persons societal intelligence. There are numerous factors that determine IQ, especially LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. The "bell curve" has been debunked by various scientist and even laymen. Continental Black Africans are absorbing up many "high intellect" jobs here in amerikkka and even europe. Race has nothing to do with intelligence, social factors and environment has everything to do with it.

Black immigrants from Africa averaged the highest educational attainment of any population group in the country, including whites and Asians.

African Immigrants are the Most Educated

According to U.S. census data from 2000, “black immigrants from Africa averaged the highest educational attainment of any population group.

Mmhmm. I am still waiting for a conclusive, accurate study of IQ versus race.

What would have to be done for this study to be valid is eliminate external causal factors, such as substandard education for one of the races (all would have to be equal), differing nutrition that affects a child's mind (adults often do not recover from childhood malnutrition... brain and body both are damaged permanently), and the whole lot. I would even like to see this conclusive study being performed upon individuals whose parents health has not been affected by socioeconomic factors and who have engaged in proper prenatal care. I would like this study done on individuals whose parents have the same level of parenting skills and the same access to what a child needs to thrive.

I would love to see a test that eliminates everything but race and have it done on enough individuals to manage a representative sampling.

I surmise, myself, that there is no true difference in raw IQ between the races. I have seen no conclusive documentation that any race is substandard in raw intelligence to another.

I have known White geniuses, Black geniuses, Native American geniuses, Asian geniuses, etc, and I am not a slouch myself. I have known those with lower IQ's in all of these races as well.

This study I desire is not going to occur. I know it. However, I do not accept the "fact" that any race is intellectually substandard until a test can be done that eliminates everything but race.

This is wayyyy to much to ask. Unbiased documentation was not the intention of this so-called finding in the first place. Reread Sonflour's post. She said something very interesting: We need to know who is funding this and why? What are their intentions? They already know the results of this "scientific" find is totally false.

I wasn't commenting on Sonflour's post, I was commenting on Meroe's. And I'm not "asking" for anything. Re-read my post.

You make it sound like the dude was in his lab last week and 'discovered' the inferiority of Africans. They've been trying to prove that Blacks were intellectually substandard since the days of colonization. There has been a lot of published research 'proving' the inferiority of Blacks. My point was the same as Meroe's, that none of this work is credible.
