IQ by groups in the US

[Millionaire]

IQ does have some predictive power but it is limited and not necessarily the best indicator of overall accomplishment.

In my opening post I said IQ is the best predictor of economic success.

I could go back to my high school and look at the smartest people (top 20%), i can guarantee most of them will have high paying jobs. Just looking on linked in proves this to be the case.

Out of the other 80%, there will be economically successful people also, but it is going to be much harder to predict which ones.

eg. It wasn't obvious to me which ones in the bottom 80% were going to go on to start successful businesses. Some did. Is there any known predictor for this?

Race is a predictor of poor economic success.
You can blame it on systemic racism, but i am coming to the conclusion it is more down the type of intelligence that is required to get a head in western societies today.

Some races have a massive genetic disadvantage. eg Not many Hispanics and Blacks will be found in high paying Silicon Valley tech jobs.
These jobs require a high level of abstract reasoning ability. The Majority of whites cant do them, what chances do the blacks and hispanics have?

Anecdata is not data.

This doesn't explain how African immigrants perform nearly as well as Asian and White populations in almost every measure of economic success.

This is abject racism disguised as concern trolling. Again, African immigrant populations do approximately as well as Whites and Asians. Indian immigrants do as well as Asians and better than Whites. You have yet to reach any conclusion other than "melanin content must be associated with lower economic success" and yet haven't demonstrated any peer reviewed study demonstrating this as such. If what you said is true there wouldn't even be a black middle class and the black middle class exists and is substantial when adjusted per capita.

The struggle Black Americans face is multi-faceted and centered around numerous compounding issues such as poor school availability, poverty, familial involvement, and many other things. These also effect low income whites. It has nothing to do with "genetics" and your suggestions are about as valid as phrenology and share many of the same pseudo-scientific BS conclusions as well.

Please avoid asking me to cite my own studies. I'll refer you to the census. You have not justified any point you've made. Quit concern trolling.

You are correct. People just don't want to believe it.

Here is another article that illustrates what we are facing and its not pretty.

Yeah but the most successful people you went to high school with dont want to live near you.

When you look at the most successful people they don’t buy into this racial nonsense. You have to be dumb to think skin color determines intelligence and successful people usually aren’t dumb.

There are enclaves of White only groups throughout Idaho and in an area of Kentucky. The problem with these enclaves is they are trailer park shit holes because no successful white person wants to live there.

A few years back there was a story about some white supremacist group living in Idaho that couldn’t get a doctor to live near their settlement or whatever you want to call it.

Only losers buy into this white superiority crap because your only success in life is being white.

You sound like a racist. Good job.

I am not a white supremacist, i am not even white, and i accept the Yellows are supreme when it comes to average IQ, but also accept the Yellows have their own genetic inferiorities like much smaller average penis size compared to the Blacks

Speaking of Liberals vs. Conservatives...

White males across the political spectrum were asked to gauge their own masculinity. The near-perfect stair-step pattern on the graph is something to behold, and conforms beautifully to stereotype. The Beta Males are clearly on one side of the spectrum. So while you guys might have us on intelligence (if that hilarious article from some beta male at "psychology today" is correct), we're not a bunch of pansies at least!
