I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent. I could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that they are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. African Americans tend to have darker skin. Irish people are more likely to have red hair. (Now on to the more controversial:) Women tend to perform less well in math due at least in part to prenatal levels of testosterone, which also account for variations in mathematics performance within genders. This suggests to me that some part of intelligence is genetic, just like identical twins raised apart tend to have very similar IQs and just like I think my babies will be geniuses and beautiful individuals whether I raise them or give them to an orphanage in Nigeria. I don’t think it is that controversial of an opinion to say I think it is at least possible that African Americans are less intelligent on a genetic level, and I didn’t mean to shy away from that opinion at dinner.

A lawyer discussing genetics……. much like a pedophile running a daycare center.
in my expensive school the white kids were never the top students.
Yeah, cuz negroes or black people or african americans or whatever we want to be called now never say anything racist or stupid or assinine. Y’all perfect, wez forgot.
Just like that ‘harlem miracle’ nonsense going on: its not a revolution to repeat the success of others. Its been preached for years. Finally someone had big enough ears to listen. “Gee, if the parents are actually involved in their kids education, if the kids are given high statndards, if they dont have to run a gauntlet of fear and crime every day, if school and learning are actual PRIORITIES instead of meaningless athletics, if they are held accountable for achievement, and if learning is seen as desirable by the kids, parents and community…..then kids can actually learn and achieve like every other group of humanity. WOW – INCREDIBLE CONCEPT. its only been going on in every other ‘good’ school since the begininng of time.
It all begins with you, not others. Take responsibility for your life, fool.
Nice a rich white person with a harvard education that was probably paid by dads swiss bank accounts has an opinion on the world yummy.
