Dr James Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really"

He was ripped to shreds by academics and world, rabid with white guilt and an imaginary "injustice"; despite the fact he is right. Why does the world refuse to see what they know is true? In no other field of science would evidence be swept aside purely because it's unpopular. Racial differences in intelligence is the great embarrassment of biology.

Because intelligence is something that is defined culturally, it isn't some fixed value that depends 100% on genetics. If you were to take children from Africa at birth and raise them in a western country in the same way that western children are raised then any difference in intelligence would be negligible.

Of course people born and raised in the less developed areas of Africa are going to be "less intelligent", but assuming that they are somehow incapable of learning is just ignorant.

Couple of things to consider here, IQ test have never been renowned for their accuracy or known as being particularly unbiased.

IQ test results can drastically change with education.

Think of black people as rats.
There have been tests done where rats that are given harder tests and forced to memorize more information actually give birth to smarter children.
So basically, the generation after this one, provided they have adequate food and schooling, should be as intelligent as white people. It might take a little while, but black people DO have smart genes in them. If they didn't, why are some black people smart and civilized?
They are human, they just need good nutrition and more mental exercise. Right now their only thoughts are "I want food", but once they can focus on other things, such as wondering about the stars and planets, we should see a lot of change, at least in intelligence.

Trufax: The hierarchy of intelligence among the basic races (Mongoloid > Caucasoid > Negroid > Australoid) has been observed even before modern times.

Arab explorers in Africa commented on the uncivilized, brutish, unintelligent, and oversexualized nature of the natives. Marco Polo wrote that he thought there were no more intelligent race of man than the Chinese. The Chinese had a postal system, roads, complex language, mathematics, and civilization, entirely independent from European instruction or influence.

This is not environmental. This is not "new" in the history of man in that the differences are a result of "discrimination." The Chinese are successful wherever they go, even if they start out dirt poor. The blacks are poor and unintelligent wherever they go, even if governments throw billions of dollars their way.

Sooner or later people will wake up to this when blacks make no progress in America despite all the efforts of liberals.

Race, Evolution, and Behavior by J. Phillipe Rushton
whiteknightsofamerica.org/RaceEvolutionBehavior.pdf

Everyone should read this little book. The author is a psychologist and has researched race differences in IQ for several decades. Everything in there is supported by scientific evidence.

It really changed how I think about race. It's extremely controversial (can't think of one thing more controversial than a scientific proof of racial inferiority), but it's the truth that we will all one day have to face and deal with.

Understand that average is just a tool of mathematics. You can have the GDP per capita of the nation to have an idea of the wealth of the people on average, but it doesn't do shit when you want to trade.

Fuck, let me illustrate it this way.

Apples have "races," we call them cultivars. Now, they more or less taste the same (ie. like apples), but let's say you are a veteran apple taster and could taste the difference.

Now imagine if they had more characteristics than just taste, and those characteristics were not entirely dependent on the apples cultivar. It could have texture of beef. Or it could smell like pine cones, yet taste the same. Furry apples or apples that are shaped like cucumbers

You probably wouldn't pay much attention to the apples cultivar anymore, since all of them would be so different from each other anyways.

Why people tend to accept more socially acceptable observations such as the length of dicks being longer within the black population, but can't accept another one where we talk about the intelligence.

It may sound racist, but blacks are less intelligent than whites, and I don't need any scientific studies to prove it. I mean, I talk to black people on a daily basis; I am friend with some of them. However, you can't deny that you always get the impression that they are not as bright as the average white perosn. No racism intended, it is what it is. I don't judge them for it, I don't despise them, that is just the way it is.

Not to be a libfag or troll, but what would be the sociological ramifications of undeniable proof of racial inferiority? I doubt it would improve anyone's situation.

Scientifically, its hard to argue with the observational and empiric data that exist, but its never going be accepted as a mainstream idea because of the impact it would have for individuals and society as a whole.

Well, I agree that it would have negative ramifications in terms of a black individual's psyche. That said, studies of racial differences have shown that blacks rank higher in self confidence--so I doubt they will question their "abilities" much even if they are irrevocably inferior.

But acknowledgement of the data on racial differences in IQ should lead policy makers to realize that affirmative action is flawed. They ought to stop making it harder for Asian students to get into top schools, and likewise stop making it easier for blacks. AA is based on the idea that all races are equal in cognitive abilities, and the only reason for differences is racial discrimination which can be rectified by adjusting standards for individual races. But if blacks indeed are inferior, then only their genetics is standing in their way, in the same sense that genetics is preventing a dog from evaluating limits.

Suppose we do keep the "convenient myth" that blacks are equal simply to avoid hurting feelings. Then we would continue sending money to Africa despite the fact that the money would have no permanent effect on their condition. If their genetics does not permit the type of behavior and intelligence required to maintain civilization, then how *possibly* could sending billions of dollars in foreign aid be of any use?

Americans can't learn shit compared to other white nations, according to Flynn

Data from 14 nations reveal IQ gains ranging from 5 to 25 points in a single generation. Some of the largest gains occur on culturally reduced tests and tests of fluid intelligence. The Norwegian data show that a nation can make significant gains on a culturally reduced test while suffering losses on other tests. The Dutch data proved the existence of unknown environmental factors so potent that they account for 15 of the 20 points gained. The hypothesis that best fits the results is that IQ tests do not measure intelligence but rather a correlate with a weak causal link to intelligence. This hypothesis can also explain difficult trends on various mental tests, such as the combination of IQ gains and Scholastic Aptitude Test losses in the United States. ~ http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=1987-17534-001
