I get many mean messages, hurtful stuff but I don't know what to believe.  My Nigerian brothers do look more apelike instead of the whites.  They say we have intelligence like the monkey because less evolved.  I do not know what to think.  What you say?

People have no problem admitting certain races have better physical genetics.  It is no coincidence that every 100m sprinter in the olympics are black.  If genetics make up our physical attributes the same applies to intelligence.  It is clear that blacks have a lower average iq. 

Black people had a less harsh environment to evolve in so their brains didn't have to adapt like northern europeans.  while africans were still living in huts europeans were smelting metal, glass making, building huge structures, etc.

Just because people have no problem pushing stereotypes, doesn't make the stereotypes true.  They can't be true because "black people" and "race" don't even exist.   There are more genetic differences between groups of people within the socially constructed "races" than there are between them.  Africa isn't a monolith and there are dozens of ancestral groups. IQ is a social construct.  Facial recognition is based on code created by programmers who use white faces as a default.  A person's skin color is one trait caused by a few genes out of tens of thousands but a difference in skin color appears over the entire surface of one's body which can give people an impression that skin color is more than just one thing especially when those people are basing everything off of what they see with their eyes.

Are you for real?
I am not an African but this statement of yours is plain stupid. China and India lie in the tropical and temperate zones with an environment supporting human growth. Going by your analogy, they should be having a lower IQ than the northern Europeans but I see them beating you at everything by a fair margin. And if you are to cry about the development indicators, let me point it out that for the past 3000 years these countries DOMINATED the world in everything. It is only for the last 200 years that the tables had turned and they are slowly regaining their position back. So, I don't take your argument.

People have been so brainwashed by social justice warriors that they can't be objective and look at this form a scientific view point.  I'm sure we all admit that blacks for the most part have superior physical genetics, (jumping, sprinting, etc) why is it so hard for you guys to believe that on average certain races have higher quality genetics towards intelligence.

Puny, intelligent whites, whose genetics won't allow many of them to jump 6 feet high, so they have to build airplanes that can fly them many miles high.

Powerful, musclebound blacks, whose genetics won't allow them to travel across the sky, but many of whom can jump 6 feet high.

Emotionally capable blacks who lure whites into allowing them to fly across the sky many miles high in the planes of the whites.

Sneaky greedy whites who get paid by the blacks and each other to fly in the airplanes.

What?

I would have worded it more kindly but he does have a point about genetics. Thing is, any mention of genetics in public is anathema these days. The scientific community still talk about the effects on physique though. For example, there's still research on how the Tibetans and Incans came up with different adaptations to low-oxygen levels (I forgot which is which but one came up with larger red-blood cells while the other have less hemoglobin to avoid damage or something). Then there's the Badjaus of Southeast Asia who adapted to a marine lifestyle by having larger spleens - something you just don't develop by training!

If genetics affect these body parts, why not the brain, if not the structure then at least the chemistry? We already know that certain mental conditions are inheritable...

No, not less evolved. Simply more devolved.     8)

"less evolved"? I don't think there is a race that is highly evolved more than africa and African! It is a media brainwashed that make some race think there are better than African. Colour, geographical location or race don't determine intelligence.

Yep! It's a toss-up between Africa and the Middle East to see which one is more devolved. Besides, they are connected through Israel.

in my opinion, skin color is not part of the shortcomings, but for intelligence problems, in fact, some of the African resources are really concerned about where the poverty line is so visible, the level of human intelligence is not measured by the ethnic race of the nation.


Title: Re: Black people less evolved? Brain like the monkey?
Post by: BADecker on July 06, 2019, 01:28:07 PM
^^^ Yet, it is skin color that seems to designate a certain segment of the population, like race. If there were another easy way, it would be used. Certainly there are some highly intelligent black people. But it seems that statistically blacks have an average lower IQ.

Perhaps we should measure the IQ of everyone, and we should designate all people who have a lower IQ as "black," while those of the higher IQs as "oriental." Middle IQs would be "white."

That is not true. There are many black people, especially Nigerian, who excels in the scientific world.

Race doesn't matter. What matter is the individual's IQ.

If a black individual has a 125 iq, and the average IQ for whites is 100, does that mean that he's less special than them?

What truly matters is the person's character.

While this is true, and individuality can't be scaled accurately, consider the prisons in America. There are more whites than blacks in the States, but there are more blacks in prison. So, why? Is it because the blacks in general have a lower IQ, and are prone to being evil because of it? Or is it because the whites have a higher IQ, but are prone to the evil of falsely condemning blacks?

Both are constructs.   

IQ is like letting someone play a game and basing their intelligence on their game score.  Yes the game is real, and people can use their intelligence to improve their score, but the main thing their score tells you is how experienced they are at the game, and how much they've practiced the game.  Not their intelligence.

Freaking true, there are slightly racism towards the studies. To be fair, there are also studies that says black are actually smarter than we think of them. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence

There are studies that as time passes by Blacks are actually increasing it's IQ test scores which only means that they are slowly adopting and improving their intellect. I believe that if this community are only getting enough support from the government towards their growth. It is fair to say that they are as smart as the Whites. Probably one of the main reason why they are also physically stronger because of the type of environment that they lived in and was passed genetically.

Scientifically speaking there would be many differences just based on environment alone.  White people hae lighter skin to absorb more vitamin D from the sun since they are from northern europe while blacks have dark skin since they are in a sunny climate all day and need more protection from the sun.  You can't dispute that and that is just one example.

And that is only going to get worse after that brawl in Anaheim that people jokingly call "The Little Mermaid trailer". Those idiots made blacks look even more ghetto.

To be fair though, they seem to be pro-equality in that family - they beat up the women just like they would any other man.

The part most people are missing is that all people evolved in the same tropical environment to have dark skin but whites adapted light skin only recently.  There is also no mechanism or link to a mechanism for melanin expression in the brain.  Race is literally just stuff people made up before the science even existed.  Its shadow-spirit level stupid.  

That is one example and racists have manufactured other correlations that have nothing to do with that.  Skin tone is not even "race" as society defines it.  Its based on UV exposure.  Some people adapted to the same UV exposure have the same skin tone but are no more related to each other than they are to people with vastly different skin tone.

This test is designed for mathematicians and does not show accurate data, never showed.

I have no craving for computation, so the results will be deplorable. But I am well versed in literature and creative things; these things cannot be measured with this test.

If you give a great writer or philosopher of the past this test, its results will make you laugh. There is no test today that can characterize your mental abilities, it is a fact, you can find many articles about it.

Thats how racism works.  In the US they made it illegal for black people to own books or go to school then claimed black people couldn't read because they were dumb.   Racism creates its own correlations based on characteristics that don't even cause said effects and then links them to the race concept which they also created.

European powers destroyed societies worldwide then drew fake borders, created fake countries led by fake, corrupt puppet leaders and then blamed all of the real resulting disorganization on the fake construct of race.

That's some stuff to think to get into depression. Anyone who feels superior because of his skin color need psychiatrist. Anyone who feels inferior because of skin color need psychiatrist.

He's a pasty ass northern European, a basement dwelling momma's boy who only ever sees people of different skin color on TV. He's using his alt as an excuse to say fucked up racist shit. God knows why -- maybe a bully took his lunch money again today.

I don't know about all these things, but I am sure if OP was put in a situation confronted by harsh environment, lack of food, being prey to wildlife, lack of tap water, lack of infrastructure, lack of jobs, money, medical facilities, support system etc etc, he would do much worse than people he is accusing of lesser intelligence. So these people would be viewed as superior in intelligence.

Those things are only recently (last 100 years or so) due to the modern economic system.  We are talking about thousands of years in the making.  Tribal people didn't have lack of food back then when animals were abundunt and there was no such thing as jobs and medicine.

You can believe whatever you want to believe but I know for a fact i didn't evolve from any monkey or any animal for that matter neither do I look like one.  About the intelligence aspect all I can say is, Intelligence came be majored in so many formed so while the west is best know for a particular aspect we down here are intelligent in our own ways. They might be book smart while we're street smart (hustle). If we're to get the same privileges they received we might even do better or equal their success level that's why those that have the privilege to migrate to that side of the world with the right intentions are doing great academically etc.

Before comparing intelligence of different individuals you should first consider giving them equal opportunities to see how they perform before you judge.

By exact I pretty much mean the same teeth in the exact same positions. Thousands of them. The exact same set/number of genes. From some one in Uganda to China. They're just expressed differently. For example the nose will be different. But it will also be different than others from the same country.

There's only one thing you should think of if someone says that again to you: OPINION. Yes, it's just their opinion. They believe what they think is true. Everyone's entitled to have an opinion, but it doesn't mean that what they believe is always true.

We have what we call individual differences. The Earth is round (figurative language). We live in different parts of the world. We grew from different environments, different cultures, different customs, etc. You might be able a thing that other people can not do. You might eat a food that other people can not eat. There will always be differences. Even the identical twins are not identical.  ;)

My point here is this: it's already a nature of people to be radical. We think differently. Someone will say that you are ugly, but it doesn't mean that you should believe what he said. As long as you are not hurting anyone, just do what you need to do. Believe in yourself. Take other's opinions as your fuel to be a better person and a better member of your society.
