    post links if you have them. information is a good thing, i feel that it is our responsibility as a people to do our best to insure everyone has access to information and an education. so if you have links to some paper, please share. i cant promise i will read it, i have lots that i need to read, but im sure someone will and that cant do us any harm can it?

    I read it somewhere in a paper sometime ago.I don't have the original source to hand but a quick internet search may reveal some information.

    and what i know about the world...is that i do not involve myself with other people's fights and wars and take sides without living through it myself....it only complicates things between two or more people making things worse.

    If anything, i try to be of help...not making the problem worse.

    i have read similar papers as you have but probably not the exact same ones, there is much research on such subjects out there.

    and weren;t you the one who broke someone's nose when they told you to hit them for owing them money? I never hit anyone. like that.....so let's not go that route.....I should get a warrior for myself around here to fight my battles for me, but i DON'T.
    i stand on my own here....so what is it you want to say exactly?
    i'm listening.

    possibly, it takes a while to find out who you really are. i used to look up to certain people only because they would accept me, you see. being at the bottom of the Y-axis of the bell curve that is IQ distribution is tough for anyone, no matter which side they are on. there is nothing really that i want to say other than sharing my own thoughts. i urge others to look for themselves at the world and formulate their own beliefs about the reality that we live in. i dont wish that anyone feel a certain way or hold certain views just because someone of high esteem says that this is the correct way, instead i urge each individual to dissassemble every peice of information that they are given just to be sure that these pieces can infact be rationally assembled in such a way that they are.

    and what are we talking about now? IQ's...mine is pretty high....as it was tested......I know yours is high, as you have said so, i think.....and...your point? People that do not have high IQ's cannot have a good heart?
    I don't understand the direction here.......

    We are talking about the rioting going on....with any gang of people that escalates into a pack mentality, as it is....Hero mom, hit her son, though, and got him out of the rioting....they all did not want to incite war......this goes for all races......a pack mentality is a pack mentality....and it was a pressure cooker situation....the suppressed....repressed....kicked aside.....etc......and I am saying.....it was pretty mild for what could have happened.

    sometimes the pack mentality can be harmful. it did once serve a very useful purpose in our evolution as a species, the direction it goes is another thing, and the wrong direction can be harmful to ourselves and others as well.

    OK, finally we agree.......I do not like pack mentalities...unless it is heads being put together to solve problems.....not escalate them.

    Just some reminders of how *some* of these people actually behave. Notice the support from the crowds. This is what you don't see with white people or asian people. Mob violence. You will however, hear a lot black laughter after blacks attacks.

    That's such a high bar to set man, lol. The average IQ of an American is well below 100, and asking anyone with an IQ under 110 to attempt that kind of personal inventory is a pipe dream. I agree with it in theory, and if we could reverse the trend of high school dropouts having lots of kids, and college grads having very few kids, we might have a shot. As Plato said, the world will be unwell until Kings become Philosophers or Philsophers, Kings.

    The current trend has us accelerating toward idiocracy however. We're subsidizing the poorest, most intellectually ill equipped of Baltimore to procreate. We're paying them to have kids.

    A better, more functional definition of racism is the belief that people should be treated differently because of their race. A true racist would think it's not worthwhile to give a good education or good job opportunity to somebody like Colin Powell or Neil deGrasse Tyson because their skin color proves their stupidity. A liberal thinker says, give them a fair opportunity, and see what they can do with it. Old time Southern racists firmly believed that society could never produce a Neil deGrasse Tyson, because of genetic inferiority.

    You bring up interesting examples. Have you ever heard black people say things like "he only likes light skinned girls", or "she only goes out with light skinned dudes"?

    I've heard a lot of that. Have you noticed? The examples you bring up all have rather little African ancestry? The examples you bring up, are maybe 1/8 African on average. Marilyn Mosby, Neil Tyson, Colin Powell, Barrack Obama, none of them are stupid. Then again, all of them have had a taste, a rather large taste, of winning the genetic lottery.

    and none of them have shit on Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins. Had Harris or Dawkins had one black parent, we would have lost out on so much of their logical brilliance and poetic elegance. If we had blended together and become a grey race in the year 1000AD, we would have foreited the work of Newton and Einstein and Watson and Shockley and Turing and Darwin and Tesla and Hawking and Edison and Pasteur and Hubble and Franklin and Da Vinci and Curie.

    We've never seen geniuses of this stature that weren't of this ancestry.

    I dont know why I'm engaging you but oh well, ill take the bait. I see you're choosing to have a selective memory to suit your racist agenda. You never see mob violence with white people? So you don't recall the riots at Penn State when they fired a pedophile? At least black people riot over social injustice. White people riot over first world problems.

    Can you show me any mob violence exhibited by those white people?? Or any white people?

    I expect you to think I wouldn't acknowledge evidence if it was actually comparable to the knockout game or mobs of black people laughing as people get punched out. I would acknowledge it. Show it to me.

    Soccer games. Wars. That illustrated by Grapes of Wrath which was widely done throughout the nation. Lynchings. To name a few. By the way, do you have opinions about ANYTHING else besides how stupid black folks are and how smart we white folks are? You seem truly fixated on convincing everyone about this.

    Also by the way, according to historical finds, WE ALL emerged from Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago.

    I couldn't care less.

    When government goes down the path leading in the direction of your thinking, we end up with such absurd concepts as the Confederacy's old "one drop rule".

    You're supporting a doomed philosophy. We aren't going back in that direction, ever again, no matter what anybody says about it online.

    It's a one note song---and it's getting very , VERY old. I don't know why ANY of us keeps bothering with this guy. His opinion, to himself, is solid as a rock.

    I've written a lot explaining the means by which the last glacial period created an evolutionary bottleneck by which only the smartest, most resourceful Asians and Europeans survived. That combined with interbreeding with Neanderthal man, led to the dramatic differences in brain size and intelligence.
