@ThePipersNicks stoned nerds i might add
@ThePipersNicks
but we can blast them with lazers
You reckon its fake.. yet dont state why.
Just because it hurts your emotions doesnt mean its not right.
I agree some evolutionist are lacking a complete understanding of their own beliefs they claim to be believe in.
Alot of evolutionist say ‘we’re all the same’ which i find to be an oxy-moron.
“Maybe you havent heard but the egyptian culture was black! Africans built the pyramids”
yeah and they also landed on the moon! fantastic laugh.
too terrible the pyramids were built by the ancient greeks.. modern day coptic aryans
@NiveusStolz4 How did you get in here? You are not smart enough to be listening to this…
From statistics- White and Black people are the bottom 2 percent with Indians and Chinese people at the top.
What you have written reflects on your personality and shows that you are very stereotyped (as in racist). You have just made a very large sweeping statement without any solid evidence, which just means that you choose to do so.
The real difference comes down to parenting and guidance- on the total, the black community may be excellent at one thing, indians on another, pakistanis…chinese etc.
I believe it is, and 85 percent of the time, nurture e.g. a 12 year old child has the potential into getting into Cambridge University (which has happened a numerous amount of occasions). This can not possibly be because of IQ, and genius (for obvious reasons such as intense tuition). The remaining 15 percent may as well be because of genes e.g. the mixed raced community (1st generation only) and the ultra, ultra smart i.e. extreme memory/IQ that are in the top 0.1 percent. Thank you >.>
white incest honkeys like NiveusStolz4 must be treated like animals and live in caves for lifetime.

AFRICANS INVENTED ELECTRICITY
AFRICANS INVENTED? CIVILIZATION
AFRICANS INVENTED MATHEMATICS AND LOGICS
mr arnold sucks wieners!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A nigger is just a life-support system
for a primitive anthropoid.
nigger left on its own has NEVER produced a right, functional State
nor anything of cultural implication at any time.
Treating niggers like Humans is a reliable measure of insanity;
obviously thats based on knowledge, history and day after day life,
even if such reality is not kosher, LOL!
Don’t be a Rosan Adan Adana.
Why get mad at me? I don’t believe in that bullshit. I am just saying what James Watson has said in 2007 regarding his evolutionary reasoning concerning blacks. My position is that it is fake, and with out merit. This is a part of evolutionary theory that people don’t want to talk about because it is politically inexact. That was the point of my original thread. This is one of the many many reasons I reckon the theory is lacking an empirical foundation.
@benthemiester Blacks are less evolved wow! Blacks founded most of the knowledge the western world stands on. Maybe you havent heard but the egyptian culture was black! Africans built the pyramids look at all of the invintions in the last 100 yrs it may surprise you to know that many of them was invented by blacks seriously you may want to do a small reaserch into this so you dont have to be out of touch with reality!
I’ve answered clearly. Even IF such a gene exists it would only make it more effort to learn.
I refuse to believe that a black person CANNOT be as intelligent as me, and I refuse to believe that I cannot be as intelligent as a Chinese person.
Most educational differences are cultural. Give reasons for why Indians typically outscore the Pakistanis at my kids school? Pakistan was only politically divided in 1947.
I am white, but I have met black people who know material I simply cannot fathom.
Why is it so hard to pledge a simple question? Do you believe Watson’s proposition of genetic inferiority and a less evolved black population. These are his terms. He also said the gene will be learned in the next ten years confirming this.
I used Chinese people because I am aware of a statistic regarding education, I am also aware of a statistic regarding the education of black people.
I just made a different point. With education it is nurture, not nature.
Otherwise NO black people would be competent of higher education, and that quite simply is not the case, is it?
I see that you distinguish Chinese and Europeans to make a point, but if I use the same standard, blacks are just people. Very appealing. If you got robbed by a Black person and the cop questioned you, what did he look like? it would be a riot to hear you give a politically assess description of assailant. I can’t imagine you saying, I don’t know, he was just a human with five fingers 2 eyes a nose and a mouth. U know…. just kind of a person. Opportunity and mind-set or culture and geography.
No, not “black people are”, just “people are”.
It depends on opportunity and mind-set. In poor areas in the UK people score lower (regardless of colour) because their parents don’t give a damn about education.
cont… which was place forth by this man is making a proposition of not only just a scientist, but a legendary figure and from a scientific and not personnel perspective as he has stated before. He believes that a hypothetical gene will be learned in less than ten years confirming his belief that blacks are in his own terms, less evolved. You can agree with him or not but don’t throw fragrance on the theme.
Fantastic questions, but they also do well in the US and elsewhere even into the 2nd and 3rd generations with absolutely different culture pressures. We may also be perplexing sophistication for intelligent. There are prisoners in jails such as Mexicans, Blacks and other minorities that can build things and place together things that would blow your mind. Breaking out of prison takes a fantastic deal of sophistication. Our conjecture is really besides the point which is the fact that this proposition …..
Well, that’s not what the DNA book I read said about the matter.
So Chinese people are more intelligent than Europeans and there is nothing I can do about it?
If that is the case then how do you give reasons for the fact that Indians get the highest exam scores in the UK, even though they share the same DNA with Pakistannis?
You did come to his defense, but not by the grabbing of the bulls horns approach which was my original point. I’m not really sure what your point is. Are you saying that black people are intellectually inferior because of culture and geography? If so, how is this not an evolutionary mind set which was another of my original points?
I emphasize the the phrase “whereas all the testing says not really”.
The 79-year-ancient geneticist said 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”.
