@PickerLeech There's two complete speeches he's done

@AlanPowell a couple hundred years

without inbreeding

that's not long

@Fitzydog just found one - 1983 lecture, just under 3 hours - i'll give that one a crack

@AlanPowell Take a look at the US military IQ results

It was rising back then

they would have to be in a highly selective environment

@Fitzydog US military will only accept people meeting a certain IQ requirement - I think 80

similar to Europe or asia in the 1500s

the asvab is basically an iq test

@PickerLeech Yes, and the statistics prior to welfare were showing a steady increase in IQ among blacks for the few decades prior

because of higher selective pressures within the blak community

because of things imposed on them by the white govt

@Fitzydog oh that's interesting (statistics prior to welfare were showing a steady increase in IQ among blacks for the few decades prior)

You're basically crafting a conspriacy theory at this point dude @JohnStrasser

how so

its pretty easy to come to this conclusoin

Not really

its natural selection

@Fitzydog I think that's a little unfair. It's clear there were higher selective pressures within the blak community
because of things imposed on them by the white govt

Selective pressures apply to whole groups over a long period of time

that's what he's saying, isn't it

Not 2 decades

you were seeing the beginning of that

would you agree that welfare and other programs did overall damage to the black community? @JohnStrasser

Jim Crow was for 60+ years?

iq wasnt improving double digits

it was 2 or 3

aaaaaannnnd there was interbreeding

yes @AlanPowell

probably by design

The fact alone that you're using 'inbreeding' unironically is cringeworthy

why

its the word for what was happening

should i use miscegenation

@JohnStrasser this may be a crass analogy, but you're basically saying that the pressure that was faced by black communities was akin to turning rocks into diamonds.

And, as civil is saying, the welfare system came and acted as a pressure valve.

Thus they are now rocks

For different species, or if you're an 18th century anthropologist from England

yes

Neither of which is true

this is not entertaining me
