Fellas, fellas.
Getting into the topic of race and race relations is just a little beyond the scope of a group of (many, from what I've seen) pretty decent traders.
As far as IQ is concerned, I'm breaking 140+, I've gone through an excellent school system from a very early age, and thanks specifically to my education, I find myself very well equipped to become a successful trader.

.. and I've been assailed by the police with weapons drawn for no reason, cuffed and put in the back of a police vehicle ... all before I broke the age of 18.
I have experiences on most days that none of you can imagine having, and always have to work 3 times as hard to prove myself wherever I go (excellent preparation for becoming a trader, BTW).
So, if you're going to make comments about what is or what isn't true of African-Americans, that's fine with me (it's a forum, anyone can say anything they want to). But please, try to realize, you don't actually know something, until you've experienced it, and it's better, in general, to only talk about the things that you know.
Good trading,

P.S. ... and notice how I'm giving situations that many can interpret as being negative, taking them and turning them around to create a positive end-result from them?
That's probably the only way for a group of people who are subjugated to create a more positive life for themselves, but believe me it is easier said than done.
