It is often asserted that blacks have made no IQ gains on whites, despite relative environmental gains, and that this adds credibility to the case that the black/white IQ gap has genetic origins. Until recently, there have been no adequate data to measure black IQ trends. We analyze data from nine standardization samples for four major tests of cognitive ability. These suggest that blacks have gained 5 or 6 IQ points on non-Hispanic whites between 1972 and 2002. Gains have been fairly uniform across the entire range of black cognitive ability.
I have no proposed any such policies. Indeed, every respected person or group involved in this research always echoes the same not: that this knowledge is to be used to better understand the world around us and. Noone (save possibly Tank, who I believe we all feel comfortable dismissing outright ) is proposing any racially-biased policies. This merely puts things into perspective and help us to better understand the world around us. Why are a disproportionately high number of high-paying carrers in 'intelligent' fieels staffed with Semeits, Asians, and Whites? because a disproportionate number f those races have a hugher IQ, on average, than members of other races. Conversely, why does the NBA hve such a disproportionately high number of blacks? because the fact is that a disproportionate number of blacks apossess the rewuisite physical attributes and abilites that allow them to succeed in such areas, caompared to Whites or Asiatics. This has long been recognized as 'folk knowledge'; now we have scientific cinformation.I don't imagine that a general difference of {IQ}...constitutes a sufficient basis for policy formation that involves racial discrimination, even if there was a genetic basis for such differences.
More importantly, whatever genetic basis does exist (if it does) is likely a relatively slight one
, and it's of course the case that environmental differences are the more likely culprit.
For example, some credit the Flynn effect (the increase in average IQ that occurred over several decades) to the expansion of intellectual stimulation in early childhood and throughout the school years, which would have adversely affected blacks unable to reap such benefits due to the institutionalization of poverty and generally poor conditions.
Moreover, the available empirical research validates the assessment of a primarily environmental basis for such IQ differences.
Obviously, greater integration efforts would maximize these IQ gains further

I read Bell Curve many years ago when it was actually NEWS.
I don't doubt its findings.
I do have a question or two though.
So, what of it?
Is there some public policy we should put in place as a result of these findings?
I would dearly love to see a bell curve study done on the USA population based on CLASS.
I'm betting that we'd find there isn't that there isn't a strong correlation between IQ and social class or incomes.
Some, but not much would be my guess.

Yes. Or, rather, the REMOVAL of some public policies.
Number 1. Affirmative action. AA is a policy based on the idea that the only reason blacks aren't represented proportionally is because of white racism, the effects of slavery, etc. But this is obviously not the whole story. Much of the difference is explained by inherent differences. In other words, it's nobody's fault blacks are less intelligent... they just ARE. We need to account for this before we complain that we don't have a proportional number of black brain surgeons.
You and I have had this discussion already. We both object to the inherent racism/genderism of that law.
Number 2. The "No Child Left Behind" Act. This law assumes that all children are, as in Lake Wobegone, "above average." No such luck. Not every child is a secret genius just waiting to emerge upon the proper amount of government funding.
It was a dumb law..a dumb REPUBLICAN law, I note.
Number 3. Forced integration. Like AA, it's based on the notion that the only reason blacks have lower test scores, lesser housing, etc. is their non-proximity to whites. Again, not so. Integration a la Brown v. Board has done NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, over the years to make blacks smarter or more successful. Kill it.
I fully support the elimination of descrimination based on race or gender or religion or political leanings in the public sector.
As a member of the American National Socialist Party, so should YOU!
Number 4. Forced employment of blacks. The EEOC assumes that if you don't have a certain percentage of blacks at your company, you're racist. Again, not so.
I don't think it actually works that way.
Number 5. Shut the media the fuck up. The media constantly goes on about the difficulties faced by blacks AS IF DEVIATION FROM WHITE STANDARDS is an unusual state of affairs attributable to white racism. Again, I say, NOT SO. Blacks can naturally be expected to have higher rates of crime, child abandonment, etc. Don't constantly badger us with this as if it's whites' fault.
Shutting the media up is a violation of the First Amendment
The trillions of social welfare dollars that have gone from whites to blacks over the decades is a crime of massive proportions... essentially, theft by deception.
I'm a supporter of public welfare in most cases.
I might implement the policies differently, of course, but you know me...I'm a nature born complainer.

Did you read the studies? The point of the studies was that the claims that it is primarily enviromental factors that explains racial differences in g are refuted by the evidence.
Also, the shrinking of the gap between the races is easily explained by increasing interbreeding between the races.
You can reduce or eliminate enviromental factors, but genetic and racial differences remain.

Remember that IQ does not measure education

I think Herrnstein and Murray addressed this, and what they found was that IQ and income correlate very strongly, AS IF RACE WEREN'T A FACTOR.
In other words, blacks with high IQ's were rich and whites with low IQ's were poor.
DEVASTATING information for those pushing the line that America is a terrible racist country... in fact, when blacks have the natural stuff, they do just fine.
No, the shrinking of the gap is because Blacks now are receiving better education. Sometimes on par with Whites and Asians.
I know you want to believe that because you have the need to feel superior
. You already conceded the NBA to Blacks, you're going to milk the IQ thing for what you can.
Education has nothing to do with IQ. The GFactor and other measures of IQ measure overall potential and the natural ability to learn, not eduation.
That is merely a pathetic ad hom attack
it is you who picks and chooses the evidence. You want to beleieve that 'white men can't jump', yet you ignore any evidence that suggests thjat, on the average, negropids are less intelligent.
Try coming back when youi know what you're talking about; if I 'wanted to feel superior', i would not have cited the evidence I have cited, which shows that the highest average among the major races iq beloings to mongoloids, with eastern asians coming at the top
