I remember reading somewhere that people of all races that were raised in the same socio-economic situations and in the same country have around the same intellect. Don't know where I read it so it might not be a 100% accurate.

I'm of the opinion that other races living in other countries generally have lower intellect because of the lack of proper education and nutrition.

Well, it's a proven fact that nutrition and up-bringing has a lot to do with intellect. A black kid from sub-Saharan Africa that's never been to school and barley eats is gonna be a lot less intelligent than a white one from the suburbs.

Intelligence is gained with experience, and a small of amount of that is passed to the descendants.

The people from the ancient times who are still present to this day are the most intelligent because they needed a lot of brain power to survive: the jews and the asians.

Africans, natives and their descendants are less intelligent because they needed less effort to survive.

White supremacists believe the colored people are forevered doomed to be beneath them because of genetics, like I said above, while genetics do play a role, they can't contain a species back IF they have the desire to develop and move foward.

>Beliefs, especially about intelligence, can have large effects, both beneficial and detrimental, on cognitive performance. Many researchers have identified working memory capacity as a factor that limits performance on cognitively demanding tasks. There is considerable agreement among many researchers on intelligence that both nature and nurture play major roles in determining intelligence and cognitive performance, despite differences of opinion regarding the relative contributions of the two types of factors. The obvious conclusion is that those who aspire to increase intelligence or to enhance people's ability to perform cognitively demanding tasks, by instruction or other environmental means, are not tilting at windmills but are pursuing a reasonable goal.

Let me guess, you got angry because I said that the people of color can develop? I mean, I would like to know what on my post hurt you?
It's really pathetic and it's really easy to play with white supremacists.

>Evidence

Germans were the scum of Europe during the Roman Empire, they were barbarians, filthy, violent savages and their villages burned together with their people when they defied the romans.

It's a fact that scientific regression happened when the romans fell to the germans, like they never replicated the aqueducts, roman cement, roman infrastructure, and roman art. Roman emperors had their images carved from marble with extreme details, anglo-saxon kings had their images drawn like a child's drawning. Pic related is King Aethelwulf of the anglos.

Fast foward to the 20th century the same people claim they are the supreme race of humanity.

Anyway, deny it or not, I know it's hard knowing your people are not the best, but take blacks and browns out of the existance, whites would be the lesser race of the planet, below asians and jews.

The leading open-access journal in the field of intelligence research, the Journal of Intelligence, has a policy listed on its website since 2018 that states, “The journal will not publish articles that may lead to or enhance political controversies and the editors will judge whether that is the case.” In other words, the journal’s editors will reject manuscripts that could be politically controversial—regardless of the quality of the science.
