SAM Says Blacks are Dumber Than Whites

[Balerion]

I don't think anyone is interested in discussing why theists are dumber but blacks are not.

There ya go, SAM. Tell us all why you think blacks are dumber than whites.

[cosmictraveler]

Before there were IQ tests the white scientists had people believing that the size of a persons skull showed how smart they were, well that didn't work out to well. Now we have IQ tests that are made up by whites testing everyone to see how smart they are again. Seems that there's always a way to show others you are smarter than they are and when they catch up you just change the tests so you will be on top once again! I've never believed in IQ tests and I've gotten through life just fine thank you. No one ever asked my my IQ scores to get a job either.

This seems to be the conclusion if you trust the results of IQ tests.

[Mr. Hamtastic]

hmmm... I thought it was Q's tactic to deliberately misrepresent what another person was suggesting... perhaps it's a matter of interpretation...

[Balerion]

When I say dumber, I assume we all accept it to mean greatest possible potential. As in, are blacks capable of being as smart as whites? I think the answer is yes, because there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. Now, if you want to point to IQ tests, I don't buy it, because I don't know the variables, such as who wrote the test, who were the black testers, who the white ones were, etc., etc..

There is obviously a difference between education value in black and white communities, and that's not what we're talking about.

[Mr. Hamtastic]

There's also a difference in attitude between lack and white communities... The further you head towards wealth or poverty, the further the divide, generally... middle-class? We all get along pretty well...

Kim jung-il vs Michelle Obama, whos the male Asian atheist schizo dictator with the large sperm count?

[leopold]

are blacks dumber than whites?
entirely subjective. how can you answer a question like that?

[S.A.M.]

Correlation is causation. ie IQ tests.

[leopold]

Correlation is causation.

wrong sam. you know good and well that 2 variables can be related to a third without being related to each other. one of the great scams of statistics.

Ugh leo, we're doing this the atheist way, we only see whats proved, whats not been proved does not exist.

Joe says, who cares? That and a few bucks might buy you a cup of coffee.

[S.A.M.]

A hot cup of Joe? That sounds familiar. Hmm, wonder why?

[Mr. Hamtastic]

joe is a nihilist?

SAMs point was that making statements about "intelligent people" being more likely to be atheists is based on some definition of "intelligent". Her point was that the criteria that defined "intelligent" was performance on an IQ test. Given this criteria, then, she concluded that not only were intelligent people more likely to be atheist, but also that blacks were less intelligent than whites.

You are an idiot if you don't understand this (basic) point.

[S.A.M.]

Not only that, there is no scientific evidence to suppose otherwise. Is there any evidence that shows all human beings are equal?

[Mr.Spock]

this is so lame.

Anybody who believes such nonsense needs to read Stephen J. Gould's The Mismeasure of Man.
