We concluded that black people are being treated unfairly by society because of the following reasons

They are as intelligent as other races

but for some reason, statistically they don't achieve near as much as other races

We didn't conclude this

Therefore, they must be treated unfairly

But

if it's in their genes

Then it's another story

Once again its perfectly possible to mistreat low IQ people

and further disadvantage them

true but the argument would be weak

There is zero evidence that *being black* affects IQ.

There is

There is no research on it.

Show me.

Melanin doesn't change IQ

ancestry perhaps can

but even if so, IQ goes up with each year of education

I didn't say race caused IQ

thus demonstrating IQ is elastic.

I said race was correlated with IQ

and not inelastic.

correlation does not equal causation

Political class and IQ are also correlated

Doesn't mean much

But correlation is mistaken for causation. Widely.

you're mistaking it not me

You need the casual mechanism

Hi

and i'm sorry someone having melanin isn't going to change their IQ

I didnt say causation

but having melanin is correlated with lower IQ

correlated

Sure

does not cause

So what

means nothing

If I, a reasonably educated individual, can be misled by a poor discernment of correlation vs causation... imagine what a low IQ individual would take from our debate... or the points of someone utilizing evidence to push an agenda.

It means there are reasons

Sure
