@1stworlder London race riots? I live in London but I don't remember any race riots.

I get emails asking if I want to live in the USA. Pity I can't reply (wherever you click, it takes you to the enrollment page) because if I could I'd say "why the fuck would I want to live there?"

They have one of the worst social systems in the democratic world, worst education & most violence. They recently came 21st out of 30 countries in science education and 25th in math. Over half of them think God sneezed the Universe into existence and that Evolution is a lie.

And they're ALWAYS at war!!

@1stworlder I'm thoroughly convinced you've no idea what off-topic point you're even trying to make or who you're trying to sell it to, and this discussion makes absolutely no sense. I'm done with it.

@thescrpionsgrl PT3 without spending lots more at the end of the day long class. The chances of anyone winning with the get rich quick scam where low but the black guy that got them to accept a post dated check for ~ $200 had no chance at all of profiting. Blacks that need AA to get into college belive they are as qualified to be there as the smartest YTs and asians, as if they navigated an obstacle course of arbitrary barriers of YT privlege. This attacks a merit based society.

@thescrpionsgrl PT2 a perfect example of this was when I got a card for a free meal for 2 for a sales pitch. I looked it up on the BBB and saw it was a get rich quick scam that had a lot of upfront costs. I went to it anyway,sat in the back and at the end asked questions that quantified the costs and sucsess rates. Despite this every black present and some whites signed up at the end for a one day class that would cost them well over $100 and would not do them any good cont..

[1stworlder]

@thescrpionsgrl Blacks consider all merit based standards as arbitrary. For the verbal SAT they say you can look up words, and for math they say machines can do it. Most blacks see no connection between math vocabulary and a diploma/well paid job. The SAT math part has no bias, and the vocab side has no bias for those with a public library around. Higher IQ= Higher pay is merit based, those with low IQ will make poor decisions, and some of those will lead to felonys.

@1stworlder I'm well aware of this, having both taken the SAT and studied its creation, history, and output in college, which is how I am also aware of the fact that the individual who had created it did not even intend for it to be a test of intelligence, it was merely used in that manner by the government. It has yet to be proven as an accurate test of intelligence, per se, and is influenced by sociological factors.

Also, this discussion is confusingly unfocused, what is even your point?

@1stworlder if you look at population maps,there would have been black people in a lot of places where the ice ages DID make it very cold. and US crime stats are intentionally deceptive. black people statistically don't commit more crimes,poor people commit more crimes,and black people get stiffer sentences,and are much more likely to be poor,it's not because they're dumb,it's because of rednecks like you

@1stworlder I don't think it would be surprising for groups of humans that were isolated from each other long enough to produce the anatomical differences between say Africans and Swedes to also be mentally wired differently to some extent. Survival strategies would have been quite different on the savanna and the arctic. Such topics aren't very PC of course and anyway the differences would be "apples and oranges" probably and hard to assess one as better or worse. The brain is very flexible too

@thescrpionsgrl G weighted IQ tests like those used in the books IQ and the Wealth of Nation,& The Global Bell Curve use math, logic, and spacial recognition to remove cultural bias. The math portion of the SAT should also be a good mesure. The only bias it would have is for those able to do abstract thought such as planning for the future and maintenance which where never needed to survive in the tropics.

[1stworlder]

@warren52nz The tests used in the books IQ and the Wealth of Nations & The Global Bell Curve where G weighted, which focus on math, logic, and spacial recognition sort of like the math portion of the SAT. Blacks actually score better on culturaly baised tests that have questions like Which is a bed?. G weighted test might favor those who can think in the abstract but is everyone with an mental age over 11. Planning was never required in the tropics to live as it was in the North
