    1- Even on the bogus and faulty criteria and generalizations you prefer, the most intelligent would be Asiatic people not "Germanic" or "European"
    2- There isn't one simple "capability" involved in the numerous tasks humans face and not even one form of intelligence. Each "capability" and form of accomplishment and intelligence has its own "resume" that (if properly presented) correlates with capability. Race, even when and where it has some generally weak correlations at the micro/individual level on some issues, is the favored criteria of racists merely because it lumps the "white idiots" who want to hide behind it to ride its cotails.
    3- racism is an ideology that skewed learning to give preconceived answers to questions that are best left to dispassionate study. otherwise, as an Iranian, I am specially well positioned to know where the entire pseudo scientific ideology of Racism" originated. Just a hint: Aryan is synonymous with Iranian. Gobineau, the French diplomat whose work "On the Inequality of Human Races" started much of the whole stupidity, was actually an Iranophile who loved Iran (with its mixed races) more than anywhere else (even Nordic Sweden) he had ever been assigned.

    No. Didn't say that. But it resonates the most among them, while more intelligent ones may try to use the herd for their own purposes.

    But in regards to Aryanism... Yes. A false theory. It became mainstream because Alfred Rosenberg... In reality Nordicism is more appropriate. Of course what they didn't know before was that Neanderthals and homo sapiens interbred mostly in... Europe. This explains quite a bit in addition to the effects of the ice age and evolution in Europe and the Northern Hemisphere.

    "Nordicism" would be a more appropriate label. True. But:

    1- ascendancy of N. Europeans is/was a relatively recent phenomenon. The dominant and most influential empires in human history were not Nordic. For many centuries before the fall of the (western) Roman empire at the hand "barbaric Germanic Tribes", and for centuries afterwards, the most dynamic and dominant empires and civilizations arose either in Iran (the Persian empire of the Achaemenids, Parthian empire of Iran, Sassanid empire of Iran) or in southern Europe/Eurasia (Greece, Rome, Anatolia), along with those in the far east (China). Then, for many centuries, the most dynamic civilization became the Islamic caliphate. The northern European ascendancy came later and needed a "pedigree" to attach itself to everything ever done. Stealing a term like "Aryan" allowed all of it to somehow get magically connected.
    2- by whatever label, the whole methodology is stupid. It is an ideology driven, not by a true dispassionate quest for learning, but by bias, prejudice and hatred used and abused by some for ulterior motives.
    For whatever its worth to you:

    I should add: Not everyone is up to date on the sudden rehabilitation of "Neanderthals" among certain people, which not long ago was a term used pejoratively.

    Wrong. He was not complaining about the sanctions. Read the story. He was complaining about the part of the bill limiting his executive powers.

    So I’ll ask you again. Provide ONE SOURCE where he complained about the SANCTIONS on Russia of the FIFTY PLUS TIMES he sanctioned them.

    So I’m happy to respond to this. But before I do, please give your thoughts on white privilege and white fragility. While you’re at it please give me your thoughts on Intersectionality which groups minorities as oppressed and whites as oppressors.

    I want to see how consistent you are before I respond.

    Wrong. Quote the part of the story where he “complained”. It wasn’t about the sanctions. It was about the fact the congress took powers away from the executive branch.

    Quote the part of the story where Trump is complaining. So everybody can see it.

    Really? Interesting.

    Let’s hear your explanation for why blacks are so GROSSLY overrepresented in regards to athletics.

    Btw Iranians or Persians if you prefer. Are white. Specifically they’re caucasoid. So I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove with your little Aryan talk. The reason aryans was referred to is for that EXACT reason. If one made criteria for what it means to be caucasoid, mongoloid and negroid Persians would fit perfectly under the caucasoid model. They’re Caucasoids. Hence the aryan label.

    [

    He already answered that question: environment.

    We are one species.

    There are no races, that is a social construct..

    Blacks make up less than 13% of the total population and yet they make up:

    81% of all NBA players
    70% of all NFL players

    You wanna try again?

    How does “environment” explain their GROSSLY disproportionate representation in athletics?

    And yes dogs are all the same species as well. That doesn’t make them the same. A corgi is not the same thing as a Belgian malinois although they are the same species.

    I have a theory which explains the black populations lower than average IQ, their higher than average athleticism and their disproportionate representation in violent crime.

    You all won’t like it lol But it’s the ONLY explanation that fits all of the available evidence.

    You may not have heard the news, but there are other sports than basketball and football.

    Put it this way, we're one species, and race is still a social construct. Meaning not science...

    Really? Tell that to the anthropologist who can pick up your bones 1000 years from now and tell you with EXACT precision which of the three races (or some of the less common ones) you are.

    Oh I certainly do. But maybe you’d like to give it a shot first. How does environment explain the fact that blacks REGARDLESS of income level will commit a disproportionate amount of the violent crime within that income level? Moreover explain to me why this is true not just in the United States but in EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY that keeps track of those statistics.
