Black people "on average live in less privileged circumstances than white people" in all places of the world. Having a high IQ is a "privilege".
Brain Size Cranial Capacity: Blacks: 1,267 Whites: 1,347 Orientals: 1,364 Brain Size Cortical Neurons (millions): Blacks: 13,185 Whites: 13,665 Orientals: 13,767 Intelligence IQ Test Scores: Blacks: 85 Whites: 100 Orientals: 106 Let's say for the sake of fun that the orientals are the master race and we set them at 100% Size Cranial capacity: Orientals: 100% Whites: 98.7% Blacks: 92.8% Brain size cortical neurons (millions Orientals: 100% Whites: 99.25% Blacks: 95.7% IQ test scores: Orientals: 100% Whites: 94.3% Blacks: 80% Conclusions: Despite having a large cranial capacity that is stuffed to the rim with neurons the whities do not use them at all. In fact their neurons seem to be more stupid than those of orientals. Their neurons have 5% less capacity than those of orientals. We do not know what happens with this 5%. Moreover the IQ test was designed by whities for whities and we would expect them to be clear winners. Instead they lose by quite a white margin despite having almost the same amount of neurons as orientals. We must conclude that despite having unfair advantages in this contest and still losing by a wide margin they must be stupid on some level. I hope we will all pray now to the white god to correct this error. In case this doesn't work we can still blame the black people. anyhoo...none of these statistics show in any of these threads show any causal correlation.
But wait a minute ....if all races are, as you claim, with equal intelligence, then how could anyone design a test for ONLY whites? ...or one that made whites to be the "clear winners"? Also, since blacks are always trying to make that same claim, why don't black psychologists design an IQ (or other?) test to "prove" that blacks are superior in intellect? I mean, if it's as easy as you say, then....? Baron Max
Thee old Chicken before the Egg routine eh... What does it take to be "black"? Big Dick Low Restraint of rage Gallons of sperm to pop out more and more ignorant babies High Verticle Leap basic knowledge of Algebra I am deffinetly not a racist, and donot believe in what was posted above, but there it is someone non-white saying it just to get a rise out of people. Bottom line is "Will to Power", any idiot can force upon his reasoning when inspired by his own triumph
awwwwright. I'll be a little more specific than "both". Being "privileged" can nurture your inherent abilities by letting you have the schooling and surroundings that would give you the full benefit of your capabilities; though I've noticed that subsequent generations of the privileged class are seldom as intelligent as those that put them in their socioeconomic position. And then you have self made men; i.e. people that attained their high socioeconomic status via hard work, brains and perseverance. Take for instance Conrad Hilton, he amassed his fortune with shrewd business practices and intelligence starting with minimal capital. Fast forward to Paris Hilton and you see someone whose IQ is probably in the double digits.
James, Does being rich help people to be intelligent? Or, does being intelligent help people to be rich?
There doesn't seem to be any necessary corellation between wealth and intelligence at all. Paris Hilton is rich, but is she intelligent? Some people are born rich. Others get lucky. Some win the lottery - only minimal intelligence required. Being too intelligent probably prevents a person from becoming rich, if you ask me.
Can I ask how you came to that conclusion? Wikipedia disagrees with you, apparently. But it's probably racist propaganda. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_IQ
All it takes is a willingness to watch at least an hour of BET everyday. The rest will follow. Of course, I'm not serious. I'm not even a human.

There IS a correlation between socioeconomic status and intelligence, though you're right as far as an IQ over 160 does have a negative correlation with success due to behavioural/social functionality issues... or so I emember reading.
