Researchers try to disprove Western claims about ‘low IQs in Africa’ and get BAD news…

Finding out what most of us already know.

But the open borders crowd wans low IQ immigrants to feed off the system across the West, and of course for demographics too. That is how evil the left is.


...
It all started when an Africa-based research team decided to challenge and prove wrong a very long-standing claim in Western circles about low IQ levels in African countries. Instead of continuing to argue about it, they decided to put these claims to the test. They conducted a large-scale IQ assessment in Lagos, Nigeria, with a mixed bag of participants over the age of 16.
The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral.
As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along.
According to the data they shared, the average score came in around 73, with a median just under 70. More than half of participants actually scored below 70. These are numbers that are way below the average.
...
Aside from the education issues and poor nutrition, some of this may come down to language. That’s what an American philosophy teacher who spent over a decade teaching at African universities says.
Halcyo Initiative:
I am an American who taught philosophy in several African universities from 1976 to 1988, and have lived since that time in South Africa. When I first came to Africa, I knew virtually nothing about the continent or its people, but I began learning quickly. I noticed, for example, that Africans rarely kept promises and saw no need to apologize when they broke them. It was as if they were unaware they had done anything that called for an apology.
It took many years for me to understand why Africans behaved this way but I think I can now explain this and other behavior that characterizes Africa. I believe that morality requires abstract thinking—as does planning for the future—and that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African.
What follow are not scientific findings. There could be alternative explanations for what I have observed, but my conclusions are drawn from more than 30 years of living among Africans.
My first inklings about what may be a deficiency in abstract thinking came from what I began to learn about African languages. In a conversation with students in Nigeria I asked how you would say that a coconut is about halfway up the tree in their local language. “You can’t say that,” they explained. “All you can say is that it is ‘up’.” “How about right at the top?” “Nope; just ‘up’.” In other words, there appeared to be no way to express gradations.
A few years later, in Nairobi, I learned something else about African languages when two women expressed surprise at my English dictionary. “Isn’t English your language?” they asked. “Yes,” I said. “It’s my only language.” “Then why do you need a dictionary?”
They were puzzled that I needed a dictionary, and I was puzzled by their puzzlement. I explained that there are times when you hear a word you’re not sure about and so you look it up. “But if English is your language,” they asked, “how can there be words you don’t know?” “What?” I said. “No one knows all the words of his language.”
I have concluded that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African.

Negros don't have to be a brainiac in the jungle. They just need to be tough. Put a cracker in the jungle to live wild and the cracker would die just from the bug bites and dysentery.

Environment predicts IQ maybe the world should put a pause on raping Africa for a while and let them develop. For an example, IQ's in the U.S. are higher now than 100 years ago because Americans used to live in shit conditions. I know you feel deeply insecure and fragile because black people exist but put your racism aside for a while and work on yourself. Maybe you'll start developing some self-confidence.

Hate to break it to you, but Africa is allegedly the 'homeland' of humans if you believe in that stupid 'evolution' theory. That means they had thousands of years of a head start before everybody else, and should be far ahead of the rest of the world by now.

Your own IQ must be pretty low if you think a few years of white people opening mines here and there are the cause of black moronism.

And whst happened?

Did some higher power tax the rich and shower poor Americans with welfare to pull them out of poverty?

You heard what the right trash blog was selling.

Yet another appeal to the bigotry of the all white audience.
It isn’t surprising to see it highlight the claim that Africans (aand by insinuation, blacks in general allegedly have lower IQ’s). It’s the sort of claim aimed right at the white racist audience, served up by trash media.

The story relies heavily on a claim made by another trashy right wing blog that makes claims but never cits sources or backs anything up. Obviously unreliable, and possibly entirely made up.

It also references something called the Halcyo Initiative, which cits no research and does not reference I.Q.s at all.

But the usual bigots bought it without question, as the thread shows.
 
It isn't, but never expect leftoids to not cry "racism" when they cannot excuse facts.

That’s a big reason why DEI is such a farce, and which is why the leftoids support it, to make them feel good.
There are no facts here. Not one.
 
We see the same thing in the history of this country when it came to discoveries and inventions, black folks would invent something and then a white man would steal it and get credit for it.

Don't know any whites that claimed to have invented peanut butter, hair straightener, or the comb.

IM2 babbles about how his low IQ is fine with him, while he parrots lines from a kid's video game as if it's 'profound n stuff'.

Oh, so you're a eugenicist too, how suprising.
 
It must always be said that just because the average IQ in a group is X, that does not mean that any individual is average for that group. There are brilliant Blacks (most of whom are Republicans), and there stupid Whites, Asians, and Ashkenazi Jews. Everyone must be assessed individually, if possible.

The more important aspect of groups having below average intelligence is implications for the tails of their Bell Curve. For example, if an IQ of 130 is very rare among the general population, it is almost non-existent in a demographic with average intelligence of, say 85 IQ. This is why you don't see Blacks in the hard sciences. It ain't discrimination, it's reality.

BTW, the average IQ in Gaza is 85, which explains a lot. And in-breeding among Muslims explains a lot.
 
Is there a study comparing White American IQ to Black American IQ?

How true. Scores very well with this years-old chart on global IQ:

View attachment 1233616

NIGERIA (129) average score - 68, right in there with Somalia where Ilhan Omar comes from. Kenya where Obumma is from scores a blistering 75. No wonder the Left consider him to be a giant.

Israel 44th place, no surprises there, place is full of throwbacks:
