Why are Black runners so much faster than whitey?

  1. The simple fact that you use "blacks" as a monolithic entity is stupid. But, I will address you in the other thread, you have stated your singular topic. Let the games begin!:D

  3. Show me where I said there is no racial difference in IQ. I never said that.

    Mav88 you say you think some people try to hide some science of correlation of race and intelligence. But really no one proove this.
    Look, here is different opinion to your link.

    I don't know how many times this has to be repeated, I know that it hasn't been proven, I'm saying that the evidence available is pointing towards it. The evidence is quite strong.

    Secondly I wish that fallacious argument about inter-race versus intra-race would be discredited once and for all. It is a really dumb argument. I'll explain...

    Take ANY two gaussians, representing some sort of characteristic about two groups of anything. It will ALWAYS be true that intra-population differences will be higher than inter-population differences due to the fact that Gaussians basically extend to infinity. It is a big so what. For example the lowest IQ white guy probably doesn't even have a measureable IQ because they are basically vegetables. The highest IQ is near 200, for a spread of around 200. But so what? when you compare populations you compare median, mode, peak, standard deviation and not the absolute spreads. The fact is that measured black IQs are one standard deviation lower and that is proving to have significant societal implications by the results on things like the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, High School proficiency, pre-school proficiency, GRE, etc.

    notice also that your link says

    He says the idea of race genetics is not ruled out, we have been saying that all along.

    Superficial is a subjective term. Skin differences are not superficial with regard to skin cancer, and the skin is a major organ of the body. So why is that 'superficial'? Is athletic ability superficial with regard to pro sports? No it is not, the argument is only some politically correct garbage.

    1. I don't give a shit about Hitler, he was an asshole who is history and irrelevent

    2. I like Jews, think they have contributed (as a group) greatly to our well being. I don't like Streisand, Lucas, et. al but those are individuals. So what do you think old Adolph would think of that?

    3. East Asians, pretty much ditto. The have surpassed whites in the US with regard to income- good for them. Would Hitler still like me?

    Would Hitler be impressed with professor Hsu?

    Really???

    Then why do they demand AA based on being black and nothing else?

    Why is there a BET?

    Why is there a Black congressional caucus?

    Why do blacks vote for Obama as a block and proudly say so?

  9. Sorry but the data is only going to reflect the ethnicity as it was recorded at the time of it's gathering. Presumably this is chosen by the individuals own self "identification " with a group or otherwise cross referenced with already established race (which once again usually is left up to the individuals "self-identification").

    I seriously doubt there was a selection for dark chocolate, 2% ,skim, lily white , milk chocolate and whitey hiding in the wood pile. :D

  10. So even you know the facts and in a roundabout way are admitting it here.
