@Alexstrasza He says drugs, which can mean any number of drugs including marijuana, heroin, lsd etc
I claimed that whites and blacks smoke specifically marijuana and just marijuana at the same rate yet blacks get arressted for smoking weed more than whites do. **not** whites and blacks do **drugs** at the same rate
and it’s not a self report thing
they’re not going to people’s houses asking if they do weed or not
it’s about black people getting arressted for smoking weed more while whites who also smoke weed at the same rate yet get arressted less for the same offense
Genes affect your intelligence in very complex ways - and the impact of environmental factors is clearly far more substantial. By repeatedly bringing up genetics as a major factor in white vs black crime rates, you are being ignorant at best or echoing eugenicists at worst.
It is not helpful to focus on statistically small differences in trends for differences in IQ, for example - when there are clearly FAR more important factors at play.
Genetics affect how well you can play golf, but there are other more important variables to consider whether or not somebody becomes a professional golf player. Like being wealthy. Are black people genetically inferior to white people when it comes to golf? Lol
Twin studies suggest that between 40 and 80% of the variance in IQ is linked to genetics. This research suggests that genetics may play a larger role than environmental factors in determining individual IQ.
It appears that genetics have a stronger effect on IQ than I thought. Still, IQ is a flawed measure of intelligence and there appear to be many "caveats". I also think it's a stretch to extrapolate this to white vs black crime...
its not a reliable source at all, they deem everyone they don't like a white supremacist, they are very incompetent in terms of research, they forbid people from correcting their misrepresentations etc
