"68" the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africa say researchers

You're wrong! You need to read the Bell Curve instead of lying about it. The Bell Curve stated that Afro-Americans have an average I.Q. of 80, not 85.
Blacks in Africa were determined to have an I.Q. of 79 and Whites in America, 100 and Asians are 101. Stop lying and do some reading.

"Oprah Winfrey is one of the most lucrative brands in the world. Today The Oprah Winfrey Show airs in 144 countries, drawing 44 million U.S. viewers each week. Her Harpo Productions helped create the likes of Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray. She's produced Broadway shows and has her own satellite radio channel. For all of this, she consistently earns more than $200 million a year.

And unlike many others on our list, her business is weathering the recession well. Winfrey continues to entice viewers with money-saving tips, celebrity interviews and relationship advice. She's debuting a new show this fall, which will be hosted by frequent guest Dr. Oz, and is planning to launch The Oprah Winfrey Network early next year."

Compare the success of Oprah Winfrey to any racist- is there any doubt who is a greater success?

Oprah Winfrey?? HAHAHA. That's your idea of an intelligent person?? She's just a stupid entertainer - same as a juggler or football player. Find some black who won a science nobel prize and that will impress me - but it's never happened,

 

That's a pathetic argument. Everyone agrees there are some smart black people who can do technology. But there aren't enough for a black society to build and maintain an advanced country.

Here's a great website that shows how many blacks earn science PHDs each year. They should make up 13% of the totals but they only do 1%!!!!!! They're off by a factor of 13!!! That's just incredible. An achievement gap that huge will never go away.

All you liberals who claim blacks are as smart as whites but are failures because of racism have to explain why blacks then do so well in sports!! Seems like whites would keep those high-status and high-pay jobs for themselves if they were so racist.

Fact is no one is holding back blacks. They are free to excel in business and science, but they just don't have the brains for it. Everyone knows that.

Once again....displaying your complete ignorance.

 

I think the lower IQ's of africa's sub Sahara are mostly due to the population growing up with horrible malnutrition. when the mother doesn't eat right, the baby isn't born right, and when the child doesn't eat right, he doesn't grow up right.

I think if you isolated a section of the population and fed them right, over the course of only a few generations there would be very noticeable improvement.

 

might it have had anything to do with slave masters killing off the more "intelligent" blacks on their plantations over the centuries and preserving those with more brawn over brain?

 

I don't believe this crap. Black Africans have the same human potential as any one else. It's culture that makes the difference.

 

This thread is about african blacks. They were not enslaved on american plantations so how do you explain their dismal IQ scores?

 

Do you have any idea of the conditions they live in? The diseases, poverty and hunger they have suffered through. Factor all those into account along with a myriad of other variables. You claim you are not a racist but the very definition of a racist is one who thinks his race to be superior than others and makes generalizations based on race even though the sane person of average intelligence knows that generalizations according to race, religion, nation are all false. There are many Americans who are dumb as stone but it does not been all Americans are dumb. Thread after thread what we have seen from you is nothing but racist remarks and an absence of any rational thinking. No matter what you say, the real racist is you and people like you who think the white race is superior to everyone else.

 

These studies are talking about average I.Q. Some of the people are smarter and some are less smart. It in no ways says all blacks have an I.Q. of 79.
But, if the average I.Q. is only 79, there better be some really smart blacks at the top or the African continent will never get anywhere.

 

You liberals are the racists because you fight for the persecution of white people via affirmative action. OTOH, i do not fight for the persecution of blacks. I am not racist.

Racists are NOT defined by what they think ( thought crimes) but what they do.

 

Sorry … it’s your Bed, now lie in it!

 

which racists? the hillbilly that's only seen one black person in his life, or the management of De Beers?

 

People create their own culture. Why don't african blacks create one that lets them build a first world continent like white people did in europe and north america.?

 

Sheer ignorance and idiocy once again.

I don't fight for the persecution of any people. You don't 'persecute' blacks- you just have a terrible need to convince others that Blacks are less intelligent than whites.

And yes racism starts with the thoughts.....and with the speech and with the actions. You are not just thinking racist thoughts, you are attempting to convince others to have the same racist beliefs.

 

Why? Because Sub-Saharan Africans are in a Dark Age. They will remain in a Dark Age until there is a correlation of the forces of history that aligns in a way to permit them to develop a higher level of consciousness and advance out of their benighted condition. Every group on earth has experienced Dark Ages. The Arabs have been in a Dark Age since the fall of Abbasid Baghdad to the Il-Khan in 1258 AD. Western Europe experienced a Dark Age from the Vandal sacking of Rome until the time of the First Crusade. Even Han China has experienced Dark Ages.

 

Well that is an interesting question. And I could go on and on about it but frankly I don't think you have any grasp on history. Start by reading Jared Diamond's "Gun's Germ's and Steel" to get a perspective on the world up to about the last 1000 years. Until about 1000 years ago Europe was pretty much about where Africa was then, and both were far, far behind China and India, and the Muslim world.

How did the European culture, after thousands of years of languishing behind other cultures, suddenly expand to be the dominant culture in the world? ( I mention that until about 1500, China was the superior technological culture)? Was it that Europeans suddenly had a 'spurt of intelligence'? Did Europeans have some genetic mutation then that suddenly made them smarter than Africans?

I don't think so. There was a culmination of technology, and civil advancement- the Guns, Germs and Steel, so to speak.

Once Europeans had that advantage they used it to dominate the world, destroying endemic civilizations and societies, and frankly pillaging the resources of those countries. And I am not 'blaming' my European ancestors for this- human nature being what it is- it is very likely the same would have happened if those people were Europeans or Asians or Africans or Incans.

Very, very few cultures were not overwhelmed by the West- Japan is one of the few that really resisted successfully- China to a lesser degree. What we are seeing today the reverberations of history.

I think there is tragedy to Africa. And it is not either all of Africa's fault, nor is all the West's fault- but they both bear part of the blame.

 

Then start a thread where you want to discuss the social issue. This thread started with a racist premise and I will continue to call out the racist ignorance as I see it.

There is a serious discussion to be had about the problems Africa faces. I don't claim to be as informed as I could be but compared to the OP, I am an expert.

 

try giving an IQ test containing concepts like "house", "car", "Ocean", "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) cat", "banana", "apple", and suchlike to a desert nomad who has never seen any such item and see what the test results look like.

 

I have accepted the fact that blacks are less intelligent on average. However, relentless hating and attacking doesn't solve anything. We need to ask, what can we do to help our fellow humans?


I believe the solution lies in eugenics.

 

It is what it is... so what?

We need to educate our OWN kids here with our own money before we even look elsewhere.

Bad for them.... not good for us.... so what? How bout a grant for my daughter to go to college so she can help find a cure for Sub-african sub-intelligence?

 

Truth....
