It's been well documented* that blacks and to a lesser extent hispanics lag behind whites, Asians and Jews on standardized tests , which we call IQ tests. The differences vary according to the studies but in general , average distributions appear to be separated by a significant gap between black and white. Conservatively this gap for blacks is apx .8 to 1 standard deviations BELOW the norm for whites. For Jews their scores appear up to 1 standard deviation above whites. There is really very little dispute about the findings however inconvenient that they may be. The reasons/ (excuses) vary widely and ARE the subject of VOCIFEROUS debate. The sociological consequences (at least the correlation) of having low IQ are far reaching especially in the information age of the global economy. One should expect to find those with significantly lower IQ to have problems along virtually all measures of sociological study (that involve cognitive tasks or ability ). The implications for National Govt policy are huge. (What social problem is the US govt not trying to cure?) Plus this concept is anathema to liberal doctrine of "everybody being equal ". The more liberals try to ignore this reality the more mysterious their failures inevitably will become to them. Their perfect scapegoat is "the boogeyman" Being equal and being treated equal by the law is 2 different things.
With all the homosexual hating from his fellow republicans lately he's trying to make himself feel better by attacking blacks and latinos imo Hes also hoping that his fellow republicans stop attacking homosexuals and get back to attacking blacks and latinos starting with this thread
Be careful with these sorts of threads. Politicians might decide to implement the Affirmative Action Brain Transplant at birth for black babies if blacks start complaining about how stupid they are. RCG could be the poster child for their cause.
The left would have no problems with increasing observations of social stratification by IQ IF : 1) The correlations appeared to indicate the right groups bore the brunt of negative consequences, ie white , middle class conservative males (aka rednecks ) They rail against these observations as implementations of social dawinism. That's curious though , because liberals almost invariably fall back on social darwinism to explain the gap between conservative /liberals in academia. As a matter of fact they routinely celebrate it as an obvious and just outcome. How come they have a problem with social darwinism being the natural order of things elsewhere?
That's why the Left is all about "get whiteys' and jews' money". The Jews have so much and are so good with accounting that they don't care what the tax rate is but the rest of the whiteys that get paychecks and have their taxes confiscated before they even see the money, they are going down with the Titanic like the Irish that were locked in their cabins below decks. The Democrat's low IQ voters don't give a rat's ass if the whole US becomes a Detroit, they would hardly notice if it did. Biden is a genius compared to most of them...
They are mad because they have painted themselves into a corner with their argument and when we point that out to them, its like we are supplying them with paint.

To add injury to insult IQ cannot be disentangled from heredity. The Liberal excuse making machine has offered up several remedies for these observations and facts.(by no means is this meant to be in order or an exhaustive list). 1)Attack the messenger ( their favorite) 2) Deny IQ exists. 3) Deny IQ can be accurately measured 4) stamp their little feet and whine "correlation is not causation" 5) Claim testing bias 6) Claim stereotype threat You get that , being so afraid of a stereotype (about your group) that as a group you collectively fail the test. 7) There's no such thing as race. 8) IQ can change 9) Poverty did it. 10) There's more than 1 type of IQ 11) Poor environment 12) Poor opportunities 13) THAT'S RACIST 14) That "Bell Curve Book" has been discredited Those are all the ones I could remember on the fly.
Well I was going to title the thread " the COLOR of Leftist skew: being on the wrong side of IQ". but I'm trying real hard to be generous. Actually I can leave race out of this because it's still an important concept to explore in a technologically driven economy.
