Why are Black runners so much faster than whitey?

Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:

1) As soon as you interject yourself personally in the discussion you lose. It's not a discussion of anyone's individual IQ here but the avg distribution of the group.

2) Do you really want to go there ? (social skills of blacks)


The simple fact that you use "blacks" as a monolithic entity is stupid. But, I will address you in the other thread, you have stated your singular topic. Let the games begin!:D
 
Quote from Mav88:

you do understand that you have staked out the most irrational and closed minded position right?

i.e. that there definitely cannot be racial difference in IQ

Show me where I said there is no racial difference in IQ. I never said that.
 
Quote from Mav88:

I lean toward economic conservative, and I am not religious. I don't really have a suitable label, I'm a realist.

This isn't the first time science has had to fight off the left and it won't be the last. It started with Marx, there was a more recent example in the 90's, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair

The left treats their ideology as a sacred religion, most outwardly the communists, http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article238.html
but liberals have kept strands of it. These pieces, such as strict egalitarianism and multiculturalism, become unquestioned tenets of their worldview.

That all races are exactly equal is one of those dogmas, however it is starting to fall apart, as it always should have. I don't need this or necessarily want it, but it is the reality and so opinions should be formed around it.

This physics professor, who isn't hiding btw, echoes me pretty closely in his conclusions, but I think he backs off slightly at the end for fear of campus PC I bet. The world gives us plenty of evidence, but economically all I care about is performance. It isn't fair to everyone to insist on equal economic outcomes and race based preferences.

Mav88 you say you think some people try to hide some science of correlation of race and intelligence. But really no one proove this.
Look, here is different opinion to your link.

I don't know how many times this has to be repeated, I know that it hasn't been proven, I'm saying that the evidence available is pointing towards it. The evidence is quite strong.

Secondly I wish that fallacious argument about inter-race versus intra-race would be discredited once and for all. It is a really dumb argument. I'll explain...

Take ANY two gaussians, representing some sort of characteristic about two groups of anything. It will ALWAYS be true that intra-population differences will be higher than inter-population differences due to the fact that Gaussians basically extend to infinity. It is a big so what. For example the lowest IQ white guy probably doesn't even have a measureable IQ because they are basically vegetables. The highest IQ is near 200, for a spread of around 200. But so what? when you compare populations you compare median, mode, peak, standard deviation and not the absolute spreads. The fact is that measured black IQs are one standard deviation lower and that is proving to have significant societal implications by the results on things like the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, High School proficiency, pre-school proficiency, GRE, etc.

notice also that your link says

But in fact these genetic studies have not ruled out the idea that race is unimportant or skin deep. Yes, there are genetic differences, but whether these differences add up to anything more than superficial characteristics is still an open question. (The vast majority of genetic variants are very likely to be basically neutral variants.)

He says the idea of race genetics is not ruled out, we have been saying that all along.

Superficial is a subjective term. Skin differences are not superficial with regard to skin cancer, and the skin is a major organ of the body. So why is that 'superficial'? Is athletic ability superficial with regard to pro sports? No it is not, the argument is only some politically correct garbage.

Hitler would be impressed, 88.

1. I don't give a shit about Hitler, he was an asshole who is history and irrelevent

2. I like Jews, think they have contributed (as a group) greatly to our well being. I don't like Streisand, Lucas, et. al but those are individuals. So what do you think old Adolph would think of that?

3. East Asians, pretty much ditto. The have surpassed whites in the US with regard to income- good for them. Would Hitler still like me?

Would Hitler be impressed with professor Hsu?

Really???

Then why do they demand AA based on being black and nothing else?

Why is there a BET?

Why is there a Black congressional caucus?

Why do blacks vote for Obama as a block and proudly say so?

Sorry but the data is only going to reflect the ethnicity as it was recorded at the time of it's gathering. Presumably this is chosen by the individuals own self "identification " with a group or otherwise cross referenced with already established race (which once again usually is left up to the individuals "self-identification").

I seriously doubt there was a selection for dark chocolate, 2% ,skim, lily white , milk chocolate and whitey hiding in the wood pile. :D
