    You missed the point, IQ tests are as much, or more, of an indicator of cultural familiarity than of intelligence. In other words, if one is not entrenched in the mainstream culture one should be expected to have a lower score. A white man raised in Appalachia would score lower than an equally intelligent white man who was raised in N.Y.C.


    You really need to crack some history books. Start here with google:
    "papa doc" "baby doc" "Haiti".


    That certainly doesn't give the Spanish the right to steal their gold and land and wipe out their entire culture.


    They didn't want democratic governments and they were doing much better before the British got there. What right did the British have to impose their form of government on anyone?

    You do not prove that by asserting it. I pointed out that East Asians tend to score better than whites. They have a different culture. Hispanics tend to score better than blacks. They also have a different culture.

    The validity of mental aptitude tests is not in doubt. The U.S. military is solidly committed to them. Increasingly employers are using them.

    Haiti has always been governed by dictators. After 206 years the Haitians have had plenty of time to establish a well functioning government and economy, but they have not.

    No where in the world is there a black majority country with a well functioning economy, a democratic government, and a low crime rate.

    By what criteria were they doing better? Many of them practiced cannibalism and human sacrifice. Many of them practiced female genital mutilation. Unfortunately, many still do. The Europeans should have put a stop to that.

    Slavery always existed throughout history. The British were the first to outlaw it, first in England in 1770, and then in their empire in 1834. After 1806 the British Navy took the lead in suppressing the slave trade.

    The single greatest predictor of violent crime in a city is the black population.

    Detroit, MI has a black population of 75.7%. There are 16.73 violent crimes per year per 1,000 residents.

    Atlanta, GA has a black population of 67.1%. There are 19.15 violent crimes per year per 1,000 residents.

    Washington DC has a black population of 65.8%. There are 13.27 violent crimes per year per 1,000 residents.

    By contrast, Mesa AZ has a black population of 1.3%. There are 6.29 violent crimes per year per 1,000 inhabitants.

    Anaheim, CA has a black population of 2.5%. There are 4.67 violent crimes per year per 1,000 inhabitants.

    Honolulu, HI has a black population of 1.3%. There are 3.3 violent crimes per year per 1,000 inhabitants.

    Within each of these cities the black neighborhoods have far higher crime rates than the white neighborhoods. That is the reason for white flight. When blacks move into a neighborhood the crime rate goes up. The quality of public schools goes down, both because of juvenile delinquency, and because the curriculum has to be dumbed down, or few blacks will graduate.

    While I do understand black anger I don’t condone the singling out of a specific racial demographic.

    Also I think you might be confusing beat whitey night with white nights the critically acclaimed movie starring Mikhail Baryshnikov (white) and Gregory Hines (black) as competing performers in the Bolshoi Ballet.

    Beat whitey night was dance-off challenge between blacks and whites and may have gotten a bit out of hand :(

    on a straight dollar-for-dollar comparison, i would give the "race" to the white-collar criminal every time

    non-violent, you say?

    that's because you have never been a senior citizen who has lost every dollar they had . . . or a dead coal miner . . .

    70% of all white collar crimes are perpetrated by caucasians (personally I thought the number was much higher) and while they’ll tell you “sure she lost her entire life savings, but at least she wasn’t hit over the head and left for dead”

    The truth is she was mugged and raped as surely as if she was penetrated by a druggie jacked up on Coke & PCP :mad:

    I am very much in favor of putting lots more people in prison, and treating them harshly. Those who complain about the large prison population are in favor of releasing "non violent offenders," not me.

    as far as statistics go, a few years back a group of drunk white teens gang-raped an indian girl

    this is a small town without a rape kit, and the girl was too afraid to talk

    guess what went unreported?

    The most crucial factor in such statistics isn't the racial makeup of the city, it's population density. How many people are crammed into how many square miles. Even rats, who exihibit no sense of color discrimination, will turn on one another and become violent and kill each other if forced to live in a high density enviroment.
    I'm willing to bet that the cities with the highest violent crime rate also have the highest population densities.
    You also are neglecting economic factors, but I'm sure you will just blame any economic issues on the evil black man as well.
    Without taking ALL mitigating factors into account, you can make statistics "prove" any thing you want.

    In the world the two cities with the highest population densities are Hong Kong, and Singapore. In Hong Kong the population density is 76,179 per square mile. In Sinagapore the crime rate is 21,622 per square mile.
    http://www.demographia.com/db-econ-uaintl.htm

    "Hong Kong is generally known as one of the safest cities in the world with a crime rate at roughly the same level as Singapore."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organised_crime_in_Hong_Kong

    The populations of these cities is almost exclusively Chinese. East Asians have a low crime rate wherever they live.

    In Hong Kong the average IQ is 107. In Singapore it is 103.

    The article you link to is talking of organised crime syndicates.
    Also how accurate are the statistics for actual crime in those cities? Is it not possible that the statistics are falsified because they are too of the most popular tourist locales in the world? Plus what about economic and unemployment factors?
    There is a definite monetary motivation for the crime rates to be misreported.
    But I'm sure you will next site some reference to how many blacks live there to account for the crime rate.

    Alright, let's try this again but factor in how Singapore and Hong Kong are very wealthy nations/areas with very little poverty. Main article on the BBC yesterday was 1 in 7 Americans now live in poverty, and the official poverty rate is a joke. Most sociologists and economists would generally agree poverty is generally one of if not the largest factor in having people commit crime.
