Science Channel Acknowledges Major Racial Differences

[GodSaveAmerica]

What is the correlation between IQ and net worth?

According to this study the actual correlation is tiny at best

Smarter people are no better off - life - 25 April 2007 - New Scientist

And if that is true, then lower IQ on average for Blacks is not the explanation for why Blacks are poorer generally.

I'll tell you what does matter, but I can't really think of any scientific way to prove it.

What matters is ATTITUDE about making (wanting to make) money and one's lifestyle generally.


But such things as those are hard to numerate for purposes of studying their effects statistically.

The human desire to acquire wealth seems to be universal, aside from some individual exceptions. I don't think blacks are in any way different from whites in this respect. However, not all gene pools have that same capacity to produce wealth. IQ and The Wealth of Nations, a book by Professor Richard Lynn, establishes the very high correlation between a population's average IQ and the wealth and quality of life it is able to build. Blacks in Sub-Saharan Africa have very low IQs and essentially subsist in scratching a living from the ground and collecting benefits that trickle down from International aid. Higher IQ white and Asian populations can build desirable metropolises with advanced infrastructures, educated populations, and a capacity for tremendous economic output. Wherever the races establish roots the same historical pattern reappears.

Nahh, I would keep Eddie Murphy so i could laugh AT him.

Eddie's Murphy's last few comedies haven't produced many laughs.

That's my point..

Jews don't outscore whites. Jews outscore mongrels that are called white.

Shithead, the best nutrition in the world won't raise the IQ of an average Afro to that of an average White person raised on junk food.

 

[Cowman]

Finally, the media is starting to come around, admitting that racial genetic differences cause IQ differences between the races. The episode on the science channel last Wednesday, hosted by Morgan Freeman, admits that genes code for differences in the brain the lead to differences in how the brains of the races function.

Is this a step toward recognizing that white Americans are not racist? And that blacks are just inherently less intelligent? Are we on the verge of ending affirmative action?

You're going to get far in life. You could attain the position of grand cyclops!

Kill yourself. Pop some pills or take a gun to your head and pull the trigger.

You'll benefit the world.

Seriously proud of being a racist?

Editec, do you really believe this?

Blacks' self-esteem, studies show, is far higher than whites'. Blacks very much would like to make money. But they don't have the raw intelligence or discipline to do so.

you do know that white children from families with incomes of <$20,000/yr outscore black children from families with incomes of >$100,000/yr, on the SATs and other types of mental exams. nature or nurture?

On a practical level, we can look at the undergraduate GPAs and standardized test scores of various groups in law, medical, etc. schools.

Guess which group consistently gets admitted with the lowest GPAs? The highest?
Guess which group consistently passes the board/bar exams at significantly lower rate?

This is reality, not racism.

While Afros do have lower GPAs than whites, they also have GPAs much higher than they deserve, relative to white students. Teachers, out of fear of being racist or of being accused of racism, give Afros higher grades than the Afros deserve.

There was a story a few years back of a high school VALEDICTORIAN. Her name is Bridget Green and she's a female Afro. But, she wasn't allowed to graduate because she couldn't pass the proficiency exam required by the state for graduation. Most white students pass this test in the 10th grade, but she couldn't pass it with repeated attempts even through the 12th grade. Yet, her GPA was higher than that of all the whites in her school.

In Texas some years ago, the public universities were forced to end their blatant racial preferences for Afro admissions. The universities found a way around this to get Afros into their schools. They simply granted admission to the top 10% GPA of students from any high school

Also, at universities across the country, SAT scores carry very little weight in the admissions and GPA carries a relatively high weight. This has come about with the intent to help dumber races get into college. Ironically, tests like the SAT were used precisely because GPAs are often unreliable indicators of academic ability. But, the SAT is too reliable for modern sensibilities. FYI, the SAT has been slanted to help Afros, but there's way to bias the test enough to close the race gap.

Correct. It is reality.

While more African Americans and Hispanics are taking the ACT, for example, their average score in 2003 was about 17 and it remaines there today, almost a decade later.

Increases in the AVERAGE ACT score (about 21) during the same period are a result of increasing scores and participation among Asian Americans.

It is also reality that African American families continue to be the lowest income earning racial group, while Asians are the highest ($38K vs 75k)

So the question becomes: is wealth a cause or effect of higher performance on the ACT?

The Science Channel's programming suggested that there are MINOR (not major, as stated in the OP) differences between how the brains of different races process information. There are also cultural differences between the different races that cause them to process information differently.

The real question is not whether or not there are differences, or even the magnetude of these differences, but how do individuals take control of their own lives to overcome these differences?


One fact is clear: Using government standardization clearly is NOT WORKING (see ACT and Wealth over the past decade).

Finally, the media is starting to come around, admitting that racial genetic differences cause IQ differences between the races. The episode on the science channel last Wednesday, hosted by Morgan Freeman, admits that genes code for differences in the brain the lead to differences in how the brains of the races function.

Is this a step toward recognizing that white Americans are not racist? And that blacks are just inherently less intelligent? Are we on the verge of ending affirmative action?

While they did say that historically Blacks are less intelligent and that their brains function differently on a genetic level they do not say that they are less intelligent, they simply explore the possibility. Men and womens brains also function differently are you saying men are smarter then women or vice versa?

Every time I hear this debate one name comes to mind that is never mentioned. Every since the start of testing statistics blacks have tested lower than whites. Never in one instance can you find a group of black students that test as well as white students. As the years go on the black students scores go up and down while the whites stay pretty much steady. This has been chalked up to blacks have lower intelligence than whites. Even blacks who get the same education test lower than whites, so what other explanation can there be? Enter Goeffery Canada and the Promise Academy. Canada took black 4th grade students that tested lower than average BLACK students. By 8th grade these same students out preformed EVERYONE!!!! Even the white students. Now Mr Canada has the educational world on it's head they are all running around trying find the reason he can take the worst students and make them the best. The Brookings institute did a study trying to debunk Mr Canada but they did 1 grade at 1 school the Harvard study was much more accurate and over a 4 year period. It showed progress and end result. So I guess if you that the PA's results with students.


Analyses
Dr. Fryer was able to obtain access to the New York City Department of Education data for Promise
Academy lottery applicants, regardless of their participation status. The requirement for a Promise
Academy entrance lottery affords an opportunity to compare the achievement of Promise Academy
attendees and non-attendees. The elementary school cohort was of particular interest to us, as these
students had spent their whole scholastic careers at Promise Academy (and many had also attended HCZ
early childhood programs).
In short order, he combined the lottery data HCZ provided with achievement, attendance, and grade
retention information from the DOE into a series of regression analyses. Dr. Fryer and his assistant, Will
Dobbie, used a variety of statistical models to examine all of these data.
To help contextualize our results, it is useful to know that effect sizes for interventions tend to be small.
For example, studies on small class size have found effect sizes around .22. In contrast, the racial
achievement gap is between .64 and .70 standard deviations in math and around .40 in ELA at school
entiy.
Dr. Fryer investigated performance of Promise Academy applicants over time, comparing their fourth
through eighth grade test results to those of white and black students citywide. More specifically, the test
results of (1) students who were accepted into Promise Academy and attended (compliers), (2) applicants
who were not accepted into Promise Academy and did not attend (non-compliers), (3) white students in
New York City, and (4) black students in New York City are presente
The following charts present historical mathematics test score data for Promise Academy students and for
several peer groups who were in the eighth grade in 2007-2008. The second chart differs from the first
only with regard to NYC white students: the first chart shows basic performance of all white students
while the second shows the results adjusted for socio-economic status (in general, white students have
more positive socio-economic indicators than black students).

began at sixth grade). Over time, while NYC white and black students showed fiat performance from 4k"
to 8th grade, PA students experienced large improvements from year to year and were outperforming
white students by the 8thl grade (this is particularly true when we compare our students to the results of
NYC white students adjusted for socio-economic status)

Well, to continue the ACT analogy: Males and Females have about the same average scores.

However, according to the latest US Census, the average Female Householder (no spouse present) makes an average of $29K while her Male counterpart makes $41K. This leads one to consider that it might be more than ACT performance (academic potential) that seperates the financial success of races.

Of course, its their choice and Choice effects outcome, women choose jobs with a more flexible Schedule and work less hours, in contrast men work more dangerous jobs which tend to pay better and work more hours for the same job and thus men receive a bonus more often then women.
