Random General Science and Technical topics

This is silly, Jim. ONLY the IQ test taken when you were a child is recorded in your cumulative records. Mine is WAAAAY higher than yours (more than 10 points). The only other one recorded (if taken) is the ASVAB test for the military or the other aptitude tests given by the CIA which are classified. That sparkly looking online certificate means nothing. Take that to some employer or college and you will be laughed out of the zip code.

Im looking at your DEMONSTRATED intelligence, and you are not impressing anyone here with it. I really do not think anyone would be talking about it if you weren’t bringing it up, but since you have..... What sort of people are talking about "race is real" in the US? Not intelligent people. Not educated people. Which group in the US most closely resembles your ideas about "race" and crime (as a result of race)? I see it over at Stormfront and the rest of it in the lower socio-economic classes of the deep south. The scientific community and most all of the general population is aware that "race" is nothing but a social construct having no scientific basis. You spend time searching for others who believe as you do, and you only seem to find backwards little blogs or white guys over 70 years old who still believe that nonsense.

Care to document these spurious assertions?

My error. The portion of the US population that is white is 72.4% (according to Google).

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=percentage of us population is white

That was one of MANY errors, Jim. The population of whites in the US is below 65%. 63% is the closest estimate at this time. But the Census data verifies the 65% number:

http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?src=bkmk

Forecasters have placed the white minority to 2050, but revisions put it more like 2030. Your claim that crime is lower in states with a higher average IQ is also false, because it is based on data which is not available to researchers. Only lay people are doing these IQ studies, and they are all white males with dubious credentials. The scientific community is all Im interested in, and they do not support your claims.

Huh? Why should I document them when it has already been thoroughly documented? Most Americans have a good answer for these questions:

Who still believes race is a real thing?
Who thinks that one of these "races" is better than another?
Who are the people who still whine about "minorities" taking over stuff?
Where do these people live?
What are their demographics?

It has all been documented.

The 72.4% number probably includes white Hispanics, and the 63% number is non-Hispanic whites. The quoted URL does not work.

The New York Daily News give a figure of 63% for non-Hispanic whites:

Try this link: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

You are right, the 77.7% number includes white Hispanics, and the non-Hispanic white is 62.6%. Socially, all Spanish speaking whites will be seen and treated as non-white by the non-Hispanic whites (those most concerned and motivated by "race"). What is missing and will always be missing from the Census and any official studies done by the government is the IQ score. Any claim to be using actual scores in studies are false.

And as much as you want to ignore it, your birthstate of West Virginia has historically been an underachieving white state. You are a typical West Virginian when it comes to your mentality and perspective on social things. After all, you were raised around only white people who are poor. Many people have similar background but later moved away to find better opportunities and to gain a healthier outlook on their fellow humans. People growing up in mono-racial/mono-cultural environments are by definition poorly socialized. Cultures such as these are either welcoming (healthy) or they are xenophobic (unhealthy).

Where you were raised and what your nurturing environment was is very relevant...as we can see.

Um, but the Census is the authoritative source, not the NY Daily News. The non-Hispanic white population is decreasing, not increasing.

The DNA that has been extracted from mummies has the same genetic markers as modern Egyptians. That is still not proof positive since handling of the mummies over the years may have contaminated them. Until uncontaminated human remains with viable DNA can be found in Egypt from the migration caused by the drying of the sahara and near east, there will be debate on who kick started the Egyptian civilization.

The origin of the ancient Egyptian civilization is the source of the Nile which is deep in Ethiopia. The growth of Egypt (Kemet) was from south to north and that is indisputable. There is no question there. There were no white pharaohs in the entire 3000+ year history of ancient Egypt.

Everyone believes that race is real. If it was not real, then why does the census recognize it as a category? Why do forensic anthropologists identify the race of skeletons?

See the figure in Jim's Corner that gives the median income levels for each race.

Blacks do not take over stuff (except when they steal it), blacks are given stuff.

Blacks live where the public assistance is the highest.

There were no blacks ruling Egypt.

You just hit rock bottom intellectually.

If race is not real, then why do you say that there were no white pharaohs?

Race by definition and ethnicity are not interchangeable and shouldn't be confused.

 

[Jim of WVa]

They are identical. Blacks have an ethnicity that is Sub-Saharan African.

He did not. He was already there! He has already proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is delusional. Everyone knows what the scientific consensus is on "race". It is easily Googled. It is easily verified and corroborated. And evidently, it is as easily ignored by the truly delusional. In Jim's world, Egyptians are not African, race exists as an empirical fact, IQ scores and manmade tests are as much an integral part of human nature as air, water and light.

 

[Overmind One]

If race is not real, then why do you say that there were no white pharaohs?

Because there were none without significant melanin, and the definition of "white people" would be those of European descent, originating in western Europe (the people who invented the term to begin with). Every pharaoh was African, with varying shades of brown melanin in their skin. None were pale. And for the last time, there is no "if race does not exist....". It does NOT exist biologically or genetically, period. It is already an empirical fact arrived at by international scientific consensus. You can believe whatever you wish. You will be counted amongst those who also believe in ghosts and curses and demons and angels. You are not alone. But just do not try and use science to back up what you believe. It will work against you.

 

[Overmind One]

They are identical. Blacks have an ethnicity that is Sub-Saharan African.

West Africa and North Africa have very black people and they are the indigenous peoples of Africa. Northern Africa was populated only by black people prior to 1000bc. All of the Sahara was heavily populated. Aboriginals do not have an ethnicity that is sub Saharan and they are black. Dravidian peoples are black and do not have sub-Saharan ethnicity. Why are you so uninformed? You cannot even define what "blacks" are as a group. As soon as you try and spec it out, you see very quickly that it cannot be done. In America, I am "black", but I do not have black skin, I do not have sub-Saharan black ethnicity, I have Native American and European British ancestry (and some Spanish as well), but I am "black".

Go ahead and try (you will fail). State what "black people" are. You cant. You cannot even define what "white people" are. As soon as melanin in the skin is involved, they are no longer "white".

Racist white people refuse to accept that their race is ultimately African at it's root. As soon as the kinship is realized, perhaps they can stop hating on everyone else? Thank time for the young people. They seem to really have grown beyond this silliness about "race" and just about every dumb judgement call made by the xenophobic, elderly white majority which is now fading into history.
