i don't think adding more people i can trade with into my country is the only thing worth caring about

All the arguments about race and IQ, race and crime etc. are but stepping stones to this reality

Japan would no longer be Japanese if they were to be replaced with 10 million Somalis overnight

I prefer my own is best truth their is.
And they ain't my own

And those Somalis would never be Japanese.

This is the truest form of Right Wing Traditionalism

Blacks aren't even taller than whites, in fact the world average would favor whites because in some European countries where people are very very tall whites are overrepresented. In the US blacks and whites are about equal, and Mexicans/Latinos are a little shorter.

Not the corporate bootlicker hedonists LARPing as "Conservative" these days

The idea that blacks are good at basketball because they're black and therefore taller on average is unsubstantiated. It may be true that blacks have a different bell curve and thus more tall people and more short people, but that has yet to be proven.

would proportionally longer limbs help in basketball

If your upper body is shorter, probably not

Blacks having more efficient muscle fiber, aerobic capacity, bone structure etc. also play a role

What they lack in average IQ makes up for in Limmmmmmmmbs

Speaking of average height of blacks, arguments can be made that Jim Crow and Slavery didn't have that drastic of an effect on blacks as is hyped up, based on statistical measures available

The thing is, blacks have more genetic diversity, thus resulting in more extreme genetic variation that would give some individuals a greater edge in sports

> So we can see that, in adulthood, black slaves, despite being roughly the same height as whites today, were taller than most whites in the world, with the exceptions being English aristocrats and Swedes (incl. Swedes in Minnesota). How can this be, if slaves were viciously exploited?

You know, the one thing about humans that ties us all together is our reasoning faculty.
You can cling to the viscera, to your ancestral lineage and tradition.
You can claim that's what defines you because it's the oldest thing you can find, but that doesn't make it true.
Your ancestors had to figure things out for themselves, they had to use reason to live just the same as everyone else. There is no divine wisdom or revelation you can gain from them. They're just people too, you're not preserving anything of value. It's not group vs group, it's what you as an individual make of the world.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

@ETBrooD I wonder why does that not show up in African American IQs

IQ is not so easy to inherit compared to physical variation

It is 50 to 80% inheritable

Maybe

yes but the faculties of people who share closer ancestry are primed by being subjected to selection pressures of similar environments to work in greater harmony with eachother

The research around IQ is not actually that great because it has been and still is being blocked so much

There's a conscious effort to block it

Sure, but whatever is there is quite extensively documented and IQ is arguably the greatest statistical measure in all of psychology, having the highest predictive power

Man it's as if our innate knowledge or instincts you might say are inherited from our ancestors

IQ does have great predictive power indeed

The thing is, the average black IQ is actually higher in the US than in Africa

And that is to be expected

What's surprising about it?

Well, it can't be completely genetic if that's the case

Well you'd hope so being in a 1st world country and all

It's hollow for g

So no
