The facts are this average score for the blacks is a clear indication of who will need government help. Not all but this is an average... Is it possible that a majority of the black kids just dont give a crap ?

The black community should be outraged, at least the ones that try in life

it is racist to talk about this.

but the school districts are the ones "disaggregating" the data by race.

When they do it, it is not racist, but to comment on it, NOW that is what they call racist!u2efine

 Quoting: Baconhead


^this^

Any fact that points a truthful finger at the glaring inequities that do exist between the different cultures and races is castigated as racist by people who are not willing be honest with themselves. Personally, I don’t think the statistics are what they are specifically because of race alone. I would argue that it is the culture of different societies that results in the disparaging differences in work ethic, intelligence, and achievement.

I want to believe that everybody has the same potential, but it is hard to refute the bottom line achievement differences between Sub Sahara Africa, Europe, and Asia though. America is a good example of how the difference races can rise to the same levels of achievement, but it is also hard to ignore areas of dense cultural rot that are heavily of one particular race that refuses to acknowledge the problem.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

It's terrible when you can't even discuss something, how can we help or fix it when you're not allowed to even bring it up and acknowledge it?

I read something that said, a cultural difference is that black women don't breastfeed their babies at the same rate as other races and that breastfeeding has a correlation with higher IQs. So right there, is a place to start to try to help, but not if you're not even supposed to mention it!

Also black people need more vitamin D, it is related to everything, I'm sure a vitamin D deficiency affects the development of black kids. You'd think the black community would be rallying around things like this, to try to get their kids off to a better start in life?

-snip-

In 1959 the AAMR, at that time called the American Association on Mental
Deficiency, published a definition of mental retardation that read as follows:
Mental retardation refers to subaverage general intellectual functioning which
originates during the developmental period and is associated with impairment in
adaptive behavior. (Heber, 1959)
The definition was revised in 1961. That revision specified the meaning of the
term subaverage general intellectual functioning in a manner that was to have considerable impact on the field of mental retardation. One standard deviation below the
mean on an intelligence test was delineated as the point at which intellectual functioning should be considered subnormal (Hebcr, 1961). This specification meant that
on an IQ test with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, any score below 85
would be diagnostic of mental retardation. If the total population was tested and classified on this basis, almost 16% would be diagnosed as having mental retardation. Even
higher percentages would be expected to be found in subpopulations where minority
status, language factors, or socioeconomic background depresses intelligence test
scores.
There were criticisms of the concept of adaptive behavior as it appeared in the
1961 definition. The argument was made that adaptive behavior as it was presented in
the definition was not actually functional for the diagnosis of mental retardation. In
reality, it was argued, the determination of retardation continued to be based on intelligence tests and the idea that intelligence was not significantly "associated" with
adaptive behavior in this process (Clausen, 1972).
In 1973 an AAMR committee again revised the definition. The committee constructed this revision with criticism of the 1961 definition in mind. It specified that significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning was to be determined by a score of at
least two standard deviations below the mean on an intelligence test (Grossman, 1973).
This meant that the cutoff point for mental retardation was essentially moved downward from 85 to 70. This change lowered the percentage of the population that might
be identified as having mental retardation from 16% to approximately 2.25%.

Jews actaully have, on average, a lower IQ. That is Sephardic and Ashkenazi combined. I think when they post those false IQ numbers that make it seem like a 120 average they are only counting educated Ashkenazi.

Don't forget genetics.

White kids who aren't breast fed might be fucked up but their IQ doesn't plunge into retard levels where most blacks are.

I stopped reading after your second word because your response turns into a cutesy emotional response.

Facts are facts. Statistics are a way to manifest the facts into a visual medium for us to explore and extract information out of. If the fact LEADS to me deducing something racist out of it then that is my prerogative.

I do agree that culture plays a role in categorizing which class of human beings come out on top. This does not discredit the statistical method in any way though.

Facts are irrelevant. Any statistic suggesting the inferiority of any minority race is to be considered white supremacist propaganda and is to be completely disregarded.

Known racists and proponents of racist statistical data will be indefinitely detained without charge or trial pending reeducation and/or execution.

When 70 some odd percent of black children are born out of wedlock.....how can they ever be expected to achieve much of anything?

The breaking up of the family unit is a huge huge factor here, if other races and cultures continue down the path they are on, with more and more children being born out of wedlock, or raised by one parent, their scores will also continue to drop like a rock.

If you go back to the 50's, and compare kids scores to the percentage of 1 parent homes...i am willing to bet from the 50's to now, those stats will be linked.
