Alas, we Do NOT "all know about it".Yes, we all know about the IQ thing. Now what? What should we do with that information?
Many deny the gap exists and even deny there are groups/Races the gap exists between!
But many/perhaps most try and excuse away the gap as socioeconomic, which is tackled in the OP too.
So your post is just completely wrong.

Being dumb isn't the same as being bad. Dumb people succeed all the time... look at Sarah Palin. A slight difference in the average IQ isn't going to make or break any race. Besides, IQ is only part of being smart. There are people who may not have a high IQ, but they are brilliant at certain things. Street smarts or wisdom cant be quantified on a test like that either. I doubt most of the biggest earners in the US are even a genius level IQ anyway.
The point is, knowing these IQ scores don't help solve anything. The only purpose this thread serves is to demean black people, which is a useless endeavor. Ill take a dumb good guy over a smart shit stirrer any day.
I do not know Mrs Palin's IQ. Do you? Or do you make the assumption that it must be low because she differs from you politically?
