Years ago I can remember reading this black sports journalist who was saying when he was younger he used to run with a couple of white kids. All three of them were pretty good long distance runners, but all three felt that the journalist was naturally the best.
One day they'd done a long distance run to a town and all three were exhausted. But one of the white men suggested they run back, rather than getting the train as they'd planned. The man who became a journalist said he was too tired and was going to stick to the original plan. But as he watched the other two run back he realised that he was never going to be a top rate athlete because he just didn't have the determination to push himself that final stage.
but i think it was a good idea, at least the uni are actually looking into it properly now instead of just muttering on about freedom of speech.
Half of them there don't even give a toss. they do it to get out of seminars and lectures and shit. Have a laugh and all that, thats actually reqsons giving for the Iraq protest as well.
They are also hypocritical.
I remember once, there was a little stall in the uniion about anaimla testing. Not just the medical testing but proepr anaimla testing oon monkeys and dogs etx, they had a fe pictures up an dstuff but nothing that extreme. They were made to move and in fact shut down before the end of the day.
Now compare this to the so called "Islamic Society", who were allowed to have stalls all over the place an regularly, displaying pictures of palestnian "victims" at the hand of the Isralies and having posters of kids saying "This is what a terrorist is to Israeal" anmd such liek that. Conventnly forgetting th euse of teen and child suicide bombers used by palestinians.
So the animal testing people were made to shift in hours because of so called "graphic images" and shit liek that, but the "islamic society" was allowed to do whatever it wanted??
Why??? No big protest there.
Ridculous really.
I mean I don't agree with the guy. I hgihly doubt that white poeople are more intelligent then black people but then again unless you can prove beyond doubt it isn't true, he can say it as you can'ty prove him wrong can you? It should just be calssed as a an opinion, a theory at most.
It is unsavoury but its not inciting violence so doesn't it come under freedom of speech?
I mean there are as many dumb balck people as there are white. I haven't noticed any trends in my life regarding people who I have known balck & white if one is more intellligent then the other.
Orientals do seem to be smart though, ones I have known. But I am not gonna say all ariental people are geniuses based on that.
You're the one claiming that black people are genetically thick. Provide some evidence or shut it.
I still don't see you providing any evidence.
Why shouldn't he? Everyone else does.
One of the fundamental principals of The Bell Curve is the supposed authority and reliability of IQ testing as a measure of comparative intelligence, or in Murray & Herrnstein's terms 'cognitive ability'. IQ tests are problematic for a number of reasons, for example modern IQ tests (such as those which utilise the 'Stanford-Binet Scale') emphasise speed of problem solving and privilege quick cognition. This is not the manner in which many people work and indeed disadvantages those who may be prone to more speculative forms of thought. In this sense it is also prone to cultural and socio-linguistic bias. For example when asking someone to identify words from a group that are related to each other (i.e.: Sports, in a group of words that contains related and non-related terms) there may be a discrepancy between those who have active interest in this area and are familiar with the word classes will respond quicker than those who are not.
There are also questions of how the book was initially received
Also those who's work contributed to it are also of interest;
If this man is still convinced by this then I wonder how much actual reading he has done on the subject...
You're making an assertion. Its up to you to provide the evidence.
They do? Where?
Which society? Where? How?
btw I still don't see you posting any evidence
as in southpark, the kids were the most unracist of all by drawing a picture of 4 white guys hanging a black guy, because all they saw was four guys hanging another guy, they didnt take any notice of the colour of the persons skin. everyone else is too sensitive to it, so obviously need to notice patterns deliberately between white and black people.
