African Americans have an average IQ of 85. That's 15 points below the national average, so yes they are subnormal. You need an IQ of 70 or lower to be considered to have an intellectual disability. A higher proportion of American blacks have an IQ below 70 than the general population, as 16% of American blacks are officially "retarded" compared to 2% of the general population. Even more are "borderline retarded." Considering blacks internationally, the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africa is 70, which means that 50% of blacks there are officially "retarded" and a good proportion are "borderline retarded." So yes, worldwide, blacks are subnormal, and their rates of intellectual disability are enormous compared to those of other races.

The reason this is a problem is because we've labelled tracking programs racist and classist. Some kids just belong in advanced-level classrooms, and (conversely) some kids really just don't.

Talk to anyone who received an education outside of the US (China, Korea, the UK, Germany, etc.) and it's clear that they actually had to work hard, study more, and compete with their classmates for rankings in a way that was far more demanding than we typically have here in the states. Special ed kids and fuckups don't share a classroom with the smart kids (and by smart I mean capable, competent, able to take a test and demonstrate that they actually know things and can apply their knowledge of those things to solve problems) because it's generally accepted that to promote an average, broad educational model just hurts everyone in the long run. Literally the only reason we don't have this system here is feelings - so it doesn't hurt a kid or their parent(s) when they find out they've been labelled 'below-average' and put in a system that is actually designed to accommodate them and help them improve from the starting point they're actually in; and also so people don't point at the scores of dumb black kids and become uncomfortable when they notice real intellectual inequality (that stems from culture/poverty, I don't buy the /pol/ biological shit because I actually do see examples of black intelligence in my day to day life).

Anyway- The 'smart kid who slacked his way through grade school and found himself unable to study properly in college' is a distinctly American phenomenon. International students are wiping the floor with American students at our universities and will continue to for the foreseeable future because smart American kids got a bad, coast-your-way-through-class education and don't know what it really feels like to learn.

There are plenty of poor white kids who suffer the same malnutrition and other deprivations as poor black kids and they still score higher. Transracial adoption studies of identical twins controlled for economic status also show a racial discrepancy in results, despite the children having identical genes and similar environments. Obviously environment has an effect, but we know the intergenerational studies that IQ is about 80% heritable, and that 80% accounts for most of the difference in IQ scores between different races. The differences between whites, Asians, and Jews are negligible compared to the differences between the scores of Negroids and Australoids and all other races.

I just googled "average iq of african americans" and read the first few results. This isn't some big hidden secret esoteric mystery.

>that stems from culture/poverty
Environment actually has a limited effect on IQ. Genes are more important. A child conceived by two intelligent parents and then adopted by stupid trailer trash will still be intelligent, just less so than he could have been. Unless part of African American culture includes bashing their skulls against walls, I don't see how it could have such an effect on their IQs.

>I don't buy the /pol/ biological shit because I actually do see examples of black intelligence in my day to day life
Anecdotes. Of course there are intelligent blacks. There are black geniuses with IQs in the 200s. There's just a lot fewer of them proportionately than there are white geniuses. There are also proportionately a lot more blacks with intellectual disabilities. This doesn't mean you have to expect every black you meet to be stupid until proven otherwise. These are just bell curves. Personally I expect everyone I meet to be stupid until proven otherwise, regardless of their race.

>> No.6355881

>>6355876
So exactly what are these cultural biases?

IQ simply measures the intellectual skills needed to succeed within academic and professional institutions in modern industrial societies. This is what our culture values, what it rewards. What should IQ tests include to counteract this bias toward what is actually valuable to our society? Upper body strength? Dick measurements? Ability to play basket ball?

>> No.6355894

>>6355879
The ability to recognize and conform to language and cultural expectations within academic and professional institutions is a sign of intelligence. If a black is unable to understand any language register than ebonics or any cultural signifiers than their ghetto culture despite being surrounded by and immersed in a larger popular culture, chances are that that black isn't very intelligent anyway. A black has to be able to talk white to succeed in academia and the professions. Why would a test designed to measure potential academic and professional success reward a test taker for being unable to achieve academic or professional success?

IQ tests are supposedly written by white Europeans. East Asians score higher on IQ tests than white Europeans do. So are East Asians more white European than white Europeans themselves are? Obviously that is the case, because these people are better able to intuit the cultural biases that the white Europeans write into their tests. Who would have guessed? People from a completely alien culture better conform to our culture than we ourselves do.

How about the fact that the tests were designed by old white men based in and are steeped in bias towards a base in western discourse. You could argue that then this would also bring down the Asian score or would only slightly affect the standard deviation which would be valid, but the tests still have unequivocal evidence of cultural bias.

Inb4: Muh Thomas Sowell

I totally agree with the premise that there are discrepancies between racial intelligences but the Stanford-Binnet and Milner analogies test are unequivocally heavily biased towards people with a westernized upbringing.

Have in mind that blacks have been rejected from "intelectual jobs" and were seen as trash citizens (still mostly), therefore intelligence has never been a social advantage in their society. Look at how the ban to perform certain jobs for jews in Europe has affected their IQ and intellectual capabilities.

No I don't. In fact, although black's IQ is lower than whites, it still bumped from their gatherer/hunter days. What I'm saying is that the IQ of a population changes a lot under enviromental pressure, so you can't really say "blacks are stupid because they are black". IQ has a great genetic component, but population genetics are greatly determined by the enviroment.

In america, blacks have been marginalised to a point that their full and correct integration in society is really hard. Same thing happens with gypsies in europe, and without the need to go racial, the favela's population in brazil.

Also I don't see why you people take IQ and cultural integration as the same thing, when you can be a "good member of society" without the need of a high IQ. IQ's that doesn't allow that kind of thing are the retardation ones.

Your ignorance is disturbing, Apartheid failed because the politicized blacks turned to eastern and social democratic regimes for support because 'murica and thatcher branded them terrorists. They then made the country ungovernable, being the majority, which was inevitably bound to happen.

All the fuckery in this countries political situation, demagogic kakiocrats and the like are the indirect result of apartheid and said fucks only have political potential because of apartheid.

Under apartheid blacks weren't classed as citizens and couldn't occupy white space and the 'separatism' you're proposing is beyond autistic (ship em' off back to africa so my neet feedoms aren't encroached upon by niggers and I can live happily in pure white murica and jack off to cartoon ponies and dequan won't fuck my girlfriend) ... it's not a fucking solution. Who the fuck would necessitate all of this? People like you are the reason libtards can find easy verification in their affirmative action, welfare state shtick. If you actually gave a fuck about meritocracy and are so statistically euphoric surely having dequan around wouldn't hinder you in any way. If the standards are lowered what so what?

He's saying that the only reason people are pouring money into these types of programs is not for the sake of the children, but to keep up the appearance that they aren't "insensitive."

And this mindset produces the faulty systems and programs we have currently that serve only to fail every single student. If they truly cared, the programs would reflect that. Instead, we have the Common Core: a one-size-fits-all system that forces children into the same level of education, and thought, as well as limiting the growth and promotion of excelling students.

Nope. Plenty of people go into higher education and come out dumb as rocks. You can't improve public schools without improving the quality of the students. For a school to be good you really don't need, well, ANY resources. If the teacher is smart and well versed in what he's teaching and the students are well behaved and intelligent enough, you could get high quality results teaching out of a tent in the desert.

Probably less education is a better answer than more for much of society's problems. Put more kids into vocational training instead of academic secondary education. I mean let's look at poor areas of major cities. Send more of the kids who don't have an academic inclination to learn some building trades and have form work corps for the kids to fix up all the abandoned houses and buildings to convert to low-rent housing. They'll be doing a service to their community that's much needed and will learn things of more value than then would in their high schools and have skills to better position themselves to get good jobs coming out of it.

Many Romans ended up on a grain dole, they didn't have any work to go to, and would likely starve otherwise. A grain dole only really came into such prominence thanks to the land grabbing of the elite, sending many of the lowerclass farmers packing into the cramped city. The gracchae attempted to reform the land distribution but this came to naught.

When ever the grain dole came under threat the people rioted. It was a reliable prediction, and as much as elites may have complained about it, ironically it may have been one of the key factors stopping the masses from forming a full on revolution that would have knocked the elite class from their pedestal.

The only way to rationally solve an issue of funding to mentally handicapped (and consequently to children of lower-performing demographics) would be to evaluate how they respond to changes in their educational environments and find an optimal value whereby further funding creates minimal increases. There is no way that black children will not do better than they do now with more funding and better treatment, but if there is only a certain amount to which they can do better we cannot expect them to move past that by throwing money at them.

So while Rand has a point in saying that it is ineffective to throw money at handicapped people in hopes of 'educating' them, the truth should lie in a compromise which lets children realize their full potential (or what is essentially their full potential) with spending that is not excessive and ineffective.

Basically, children's intellectual development by group is almost certainly logistic as a function of money spent and there is a point where spending more does not do much - we need to find that point and set that as our budget for education.

>but why should we even spend any money on retarded kids? why should we let them even go to their full potential when it is nothing compared to that of a normal kid?

Because every person in a society has a right to reach their full potential. Why even have an educational system that aims to teach anything when the smartest can teach themselves? Or at least, know the entire curriculum with very little instruction? People ultimately aren't numbers but are unique creatures with subjective experiences and thoughts and everyone has the right to maximize their own potential to have these.

That is true - like in the book IQ and the Wealth of Nations, African countries test at IQs in the 60s which is borderline mental retardation in humans (while they still maintain adequate mental function and can perform activities that people with ACTUAL 60 IQs cannot). And it IS because of the difference in education and environment.

However, how much is? The reality is, a perfect test can never be conducted unless you have an African-Majority society with equal education as a White-Majority one, and then you tested a black and white individual in these respectively.

For example, consider the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study - it found that, in foster families of equal economic aptitude, white children still performed better than black children.

This almost looks like it covers environmental factors but obviously, when you think a little, it does not because you realize that black kids could be treated differently by their peers and even their foster families.

It's impossible to conduct a perfect experiment. But from approximations like the Minnesota one, it appears likely that there are racial differences in IQ which do make sense because, for the most part, unless you are in Eurasia or the Arab states, race is pretty well-defined.

But that being said, even if there were objectively provable differences, they should have no real implication in a society except perhaps the limitation of non-skilled immigration.

Let's pretend for argument's sake that Jews are 50% religious and 50% non-religious, and that the non-religious ones are smarter. Thus, the average IQ of the ethnoreligious group 'Jews' is a lot higher than the religious one in your chart.

The 'atheist Jews' do not contribute to that classification's IQ as they do not identify under the religion 'Judaism'. They rather contribute to the IQ of Atheists. However, what % of white atheist are Jewish? The answer is probably below 10% considering Jews are 2% of America's population.

It's a good thing that being able to survive in the bush is completely irrelevant in the 21st century and the skills you need to thrive in a modern industrial society are tested by IQ, then. I'm sure no one has ever suggested that Africans and Aboriginees are holdovers from the Stone Age before.

Plenty of atheist Jews still identity as Jews.

I guess primitive skills will become relevant again because of modern undustrial society. So much for intelligence.

I mean, maybe.

That says otherwise, but for Russia, not America.

It says there that 52% of Jews (ethnic) identify as non-religious or atheist, and only 13% identify as Jews (religious).

hilariously enough, 13% identify as Christians (the same amount as religious Jews) and 3% identify with pagan tengriism.

Pure speculation and therefore completely useless.
Not even just okay as an hypothesis.
Just completely useless.
You think some one going through an institution will solve X problem.
Archaic stupid thought.

Yeah, because the "why don't we stop educating idiots because because I don't like paying taxes for them" -argument is totally based in reality and not just another expression of a reactionary/feely approach towards politics. It's not like there might be other factors to such a statement and you had to make sure a premise is correct before you throw around conclusions. Surely the world would be much better if idiots didn't have to go to school.
