I was browsing /pol/ earlier (swear to god I'm not a regular there, honest) and happened on a 'whites are smarter than blacks' thread. Most of the evidence they put forth were carefully mined screenshots from bullshit studies, but there were a few citations that seemed legit (although only the names/titles were cited, not the actual evidence they claim supports their view).

thread in question if anyone cares:
>>>/pol/27508271

what does /sci/ really think?

I don't know about smarter but I think white people feel like doing more than black people.
Back in Africa, why didn't they ever get anywhere? They had the land, resources and sea to make a great empire. But there was nothing when yurop came and wiped them.
Humans started in Africa and they had the most time to build shit. Why was every other civilization so far ahead of Africa?

I am tired of explaining this.

On average whites are smarter. This is NOT due to any genetic factor. The gap in intelligence is purely a result of the fact that minorities do not have access to the same quality of educations as whites. You see fewer successful blacks because society does not provide an environment that they have a chance to succeed in. To some extent we are all just the victims of our circumstances.

Humans started in Africa but agriculture and civilization began in the Middle East, around 10000bc if I am remembering right. The first empires began in the fertile crescent because the fertile soil made agriculture possible. Because the land in Africa was not as fertile, it could not support cities, so no cities appeared. The other factor was domestication of animals. The total number of species in the world that can be domesticated for use in agriculture(can a. Be bred for food or b. Carry things plow fields) is around 14 and none of them are not indigenous to Africa.

Culture plays a role too. Being intelligent or learned isn't seen as cool, so kids that are gifted or inquisitive just end up hiding it and/or not bothering.

>>6404278
At no point did he mention IQ scores. You could just as easily use employment in STEM fields, or technical knowledge, or hours spent studying per week and a similar trend would emerge.

Kingdom of Mali.

I didn't imply that. I only pointed out that all of that political shit that /pol/esmokers live on means nothing in the face of genetics. No one cares about statistics or convoluted and conflicting histories or any of that other garbage, and if you're not talking about population genetics then you're just talking about some retarded /pol/esmoker social science shit that doesn't belong on /sci/.
