Stuart Hall Lecture - Race, the Floating Signifier [Part 1/7]

[naruto2710]

does anyone know which one of his books summarises his views on culture and media well

[cahillgreg]

@naruto2710 I thought that James Procter's book 'Stuart Hall' (part of the 'Routledge Critical Thinkers' series of books) gave a good succint summary of his body of work so far and directs you to all of Hall's original work.

The most baffling in this IQ debate is how racist cunts always carefully leave out the socio-economic context.The IQ difference between black middle class and black lower class is identical to the difference between white middle class and lower class whites

.

More blacks than whites are kept into poverty by institutions influenced the historically racial and social context. Case in point: The war on drugs

.

Like any RACIST society, the American society sets out self-fulfilling prejudices

Stuart Hall is an extremely intelligent and insightful scholar. I liked this series of videos (ones which I was forced to watch as a student). Thanks!

The empirical evidence shows that when whites r "raped, robbed, car-jacked, home-invaded and murdered" it is in 90% of the time by other WHITE people and in "this regressive, failed multiracial society" BLACKS like always take the blame bcuz American society is funded on WHITE SUPREMACY and it is important to use any opportunity to dehumanize Black people despite the fact that a simple look at history shows the abject savageness, brutality and opportunism of WHITE people

"Black behavior is genetic/intrinsic" LMAO

Thank you for showing to the world how obtuse and limited your mental abilities are

I didn't watch all of the video but this statement caught my attention:

"Hall's basic argument is that all attempts to show this scientifically - that blacks are not as intelligent as whites - have failed."

Since when?

"Race differences in average IQ are largely genetic"

w w w.news-medical.n et/news/2005/04/26/9530.a s px

"The Black-White difference [85 vs. 100] has been found consistently from . . . 90 years ago to . . . 2001."

Stuart Hall, I call you out on being a liar.

[HereticLikeGalileo]

@Remorselesslymine Great catch. *thumbs up*

[SiriusLumino]

@Remorselesslymine Actually, the average IQ of American blacks has been revised to 78. The earlier estimate was higher because the testers did not have access to less intelligent inner-city ghetto blacks.

@Remorselesslymine How are these test structured? And how does it prove that the data is representative of anything further than its own selected process? Furthermore, why do you choose to believe it?

[ProjectDystopia]

@Remorselesslymine You are ignorant for judging the video before watching it. Let me add....the IQ test cannot judge the whole of intelligence and look at you created this test......it's inherently biased

[Remorselesslymine]

@ProjectDystopia I did not create any IQ test, though I'm not sure if you really meant to accuse me of doing so by your statement of "look at you created this test." Perhaps you should learn to express yourself better before accusing others of ignorance.

[Remorselesslymine]

@ProjectDystopia IQ tests may not capture every single nuance of the factors associated with intelligence, but they do capture the bulk, enough so to make them a valid tool in determining overall intelligence. It is easy to confirm IQ tests' validity. Look at different parts of the world & enumerate the accomplishments of the indigenous populations. Sub-Saharan Africa. The Middle East. Pre-Europeanized Australia. Europe. Now, compare the IQ scores of these regions.

Ur comment checks all the boxes of the standard eurocentric rhetoric. First of all, what do you mean by "accomplishments"?? It is the common definition that links accomplishment to GDP?? The bigger the GDP the more accomplished the nation?? Are you trying to argue that IQ tests are stripped off of any eurocentric cultural biases n can be applied universally?? Do u know that there are NO GENETIC ground whatsoever for teh concept of race??

.

@Remorselesslymine

Firstly there is NO black man, or white man gene!!! 2ndly, IQ test results r predominantly influenced by nurture!! Case in point: IQ scores of Americans in the 1960s r similar to those of today's West Africans. S Korea perfectly illustrates the strong correlation between better standards of living and higher IQ scores

.

I dont see why the USA would be considered more "ACCOMPLISHED" than let say Morocco since the both have diff settings, history n face diff challenges

.

@Remorselesslymine, genetic is not a stable thing, it change trough feeding habits, education and culture developed across generations. You have to take in consideration historic, economic and material conditions of social living of black people in Africa, but the western and modern world too: Marginate and abandoned from many social and cultural rights (nutrition, social and economic conditions, education opportunities, etc) Those factors strongly influence intellectual capabilities.

[goyavesETmangues]

@Remorselesslymine

.

Hall is right: "all attempts to show this scientifically that blacks are not as intelligent as whites have failed."

And using "race differences in IQ" which has been largely debunked and has been shown to have NO GENETIC ground whatsoever shows ur intellectual dishonesty

1) IQ tests r a very eurocentred and culturally biased and r a partial or false conception of intelligence

2) IQ scores change with the quality of the conditions of living

.

I call u out on being a RACIST

The actress Shannon Carew has just died from leukemia. Her mother's social construct was black and her father's mestizo. Due to this unusual combination of social constructs, her doctors could not find bone marrow of the right social construct to match hers.

@Remorselesslymine what a nice source, so convincing.

[Remorselesslymine]

@konyabln News-Medical.n e t is a well-known mainstream research site. If you're referring to the Stormfront thread, it contains a link to the mainstream news article it discusses. Your sarcasm fails to impress.

[Remorselesslymine]

@konyabln A direct quote from the Yahoo News article the Stormfront thread discusses: "Her doctor . . . said that a perfect bone marrow match for Shannon could not be found. The search for a match was especially daunting because Shannon's mother is African-American & her father is Hispanic. . . For bone marrow transplants, minorities & those of mixed ancestry have a more difficult time finding good matches because there aren't as many people from those groups signed up as potential donors."
