Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

[sasguru]

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you, thicky.

Indeed.

[shaunbhoy]

And given the mess they have made of running the country I think we can be sure that intelligence is not the Scots' strongest trait....



...and neither is their foresight.

One thing we CAN be assured of however is the "intelligence" of the overwhelming number of English voters that keep voting them back in though.
Gluttons for punishment!!

Can't argue with that. But what choice have they got, since the work-shy Scots mafia have now infiltrated all the public sector jobs including politics.

Perhaps if Black Africans devised the intelligence tests, we would see a different picture?

Perhaps the tests merely define how well you can think as a white person?

Black people as a whole tend to have more limited educational opportunities, so therefore you would expect them to do worse at IQ tests as a whole compared with whites. A proper study stratified by income, educational attainment, and country of origin, etc., would help answer the question not a simple is A better than B, when as much heterogeneity exists within (intra) as between groups (inter).

It's a shame "HugeBrain" won't explain the scientific evidence he studied at university

IQ tests are not supposed to measure educational abilities, but logical reasoning, comprehension etc.

However, you can learn how to be good at IQ tests, and the more you do, the better you become.

Really, the whole thing is pointless and divisive.

I thought I put my reasons for this in the first post.

Yes, you'll have to excuse sadguru. He is a bit slow on the uptake, and the whole problem is compounded by the fact that he has the memory retention skills of a goldfish. He is trapped in a whirlpool of stupidity...........but we tolerate him on here because that is our christian duty.

It's a bit like Galileo and the whole earth goes around the Sun thing. He was right, but going against the Pope/Socialists isn't always the easiest course.

Which part of this insightful explanation don't you get Sasguru
