Newsflash

 When Oprah Winfrey discovered her passion was only 6 years old. Singing in church at the side of her grandmother's understandable that the life stories of ordinary people are interested in it more than anything. Then it decided that it will do all that passion in her life played a key role.

cognitive psychology quiz The Bell Curve  
: : Sub-Saharan blacks were separated from eurasians and others for many : thousands of years. How different are they genetically, behaviorly, : phenotypically, etc.? We study the differences and that is how they : are different. No one claims to know exactly why Asians and Jews are : so smart and blacks are so dumb. We would need a time machine to know : for sure. But the evidence is that the differences are genetic and : they exist. Causality from race to genes is not a moot and : nonsensical. First you have to understand the question before you can : try and get an answer. The intelligence argument is bound to : evolutionary developments, not to a supreme being saying I think I'll : make all the black people stupid. It is just how it turned out. If : this doesn't help, maybe you need a religious explanation more than a : scientific one because you are more concerned with dogma than : knowledge. I have no problems that genetically there is some difference between American blacks and the American white populations.  There are some diseases that white Americans are more susceptible than black Americans, for example.  I have doubts, but I am willing to accept, that the mean IQ scores of black Americans are lower than the mean IQ scores of White Americans.  I have no problems that certain skills tested in IQ tests are hereditary, since we already know a number of genetic diseases can lead to mental retardation. But there is nothing scientific to date that _link_s the difference in mean IQ scores between the white and black populations to genes that affect mental abilities.  People have been arguing on this forum for the last few years.  The flaws in the arguments have always been: (i) IQ score is a measurement of intelligence; and (ii) blacks ON THE AVERAGE have lower IQ scores than whites ON THE AVERAGE and because there are some genetic differences between the whites and the blacks, and because SPECIFIC genes leads to SPECIFIC forms of mental retardation (usually serious mental retardation, I may add), there is a genetic basis for saying that blacks are born with less intelligence than white. I have problems with this kind of logic.
