there would be a huge public reaction
"It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded."

All of those IQ studies showing that blacks have lower IQ's innately than any other race were edited by a guy called Richard Flynn. He was later revealed to be a racist and is considered a joke in the scientific community. However, no IQ studies of that scale were ever done again, so unfortunately they are taken as sort of the "golden standard" if you will.
The guy basically had 50 or so areas where blacks had there IQ taken, and only used 9 of those areas in the final IQ results. He literally threw out the majority of the data, which if included, would have shown that blacks have about the same IQ as whites.

Because one thing is a trigger that contributed to the downfall of a race, and another is a BS genetic claim. If you want a comparable thing for poverty level blacks, you could look at the breakdown of family structure, failed public education systems, glorified criminal culture, etc.

As far as I know there is no legitimate genetic predisposition for those of African decent being less intelligent.
The same can't be said for Native Americans and alcohol.

The "intelligence" levels of many struggling blacks can be attributed to other things, rather than just being innately stupid. For instance, things like No Child Left Behind encourages teachers to simply push struggling children through schools instead of actually ensuring they're educated, so you end up with a lot of people graduating or leaving school without being able to read, write, or do math because of leg-ups that are more detrimental than beneficial. The problems within a portion of the black community are pretty much a huge elephant in the room that no current major political peeps are willing to even whisper about because of the fear of seeming "racist", even though that very ignorance is continuing to hurt the black community.
And while I do support individual responsibility to a degree, it certainly doesn't help when the system is working against you from birth.Lifts:

I ignored your post because it was completely IRRELEVANT and nonsensical to address.
Brb one guy 50 years ago test drove a Honda only in the rain and found that is had sh*t handling.....so durrr its stupid to ask your question regarding Hondas.
You said it yourself, no other experiment has been done.
So Fck off.

Well that's just not true.
Source: PhD in Psychology
But, one is saying someone is more prone to a disease, the latter is making a statement about a trait.
To say a group of people are more likely to have a disease is segmentation.
To say they are more likely to be dumb is making a negative statement about a large group of people when it is obviously not true for all of them."When you get a BS you think you know everything
When you get your MS you realize you know nothing
When you get your PhD you still realize you know nothing but it is ok because now you know no one else does either"

It all boils down to political representation. Native Americans are small in number and sadly have no backing from any major political organization thus nobody cares about them or their feelings.

Don't miscers claim IQ tests are irrelevant and don't truly measure intelligence?
Or does it only count on certain circumstancesLast edited by eLjay28; 07-23-2013 at 08:15 PM.

Buddy... I don't think you even realize what you just said. The only IQ study of this kind was a BIASED one (extremely biased might I add). To put it in simple words for you, there are no other IQ studies like this, so it's the only one that applies.
It would be like if the guy drove a Honda 50 years ago in the rain and found that it had bad handling, and then no one bothered to make another study on Honda's ever again and just assumed that they all had bad handling.
If the "thrown out data" was included in the study, blacks would have had about the same average IQ as whites.
