Driving Through Detroit's Worst Hood - Any Leftists Want To Defend This Sad Truth?

[hurtinbuckaroo]

The only comment I would have about the OP. For some reason, this reminds me of my daily commute. And there exists cultures where it seems to be perfectly ok to walk down the middle of the street at 2 am. I work at a steel mill located in a very poor neighborhood but live in a very upscale neighborhood. And during my daily commutes, it is actually easier to miss stray deer in the street (in my neighborhood) than it is to miss jay walkers crossing the streets (by the steel mill). They are usually black people dressed in black, seeming not care one bit whether they might get hit by a car. I've had some close calls scaring the crap out of me. And close calls with hitting deer too but at least the deer seem to care about not wanting to be run down. The jay walkers seem to act like it is their road and the cars are not supposed to be there.

I had a close call with one of those types--45 mph 6 + center turn lane street, a decent amount of traffic, yet he crossed anyway. If I hadn't gotten a split-second flash of him in the headlights of another vehicle (my own headlights only showed him at about 1 second despite my knowing he was there) he would have been dead.

(And for those who think this is racist--he would have been much easier to spot if he wasn't black.)

He was a Ninja?

Ah...wasn't me trying to peddle such a fucking terrible argument.

Sorry!

Corrected.

Halfie, you're up to bat. At least give it a go. No one is going to think you're dumb just because you don't know the answer, or that you're dumb just because you have less melanin than some smarter folks (eg Thomas Sowell). C'mon man, what have you got to lose? (Hint: don't say 'my credibility on this forum').

Ok I'll give you a clue. It (sort of) has something to do with the word 'biology', but it's not just that.

When I gave a list of IQ by country, all the African countries were around 60-75 IQ. That is the level where people are legally diagnosed as retarded. This would mean a majority of African people are legally retarded. This explains why Africa remains poor despite thousands of years of history. You guys tried to make excuses for their low IQ a few months ago by claiming that "IQ doesn't matter!" and other such nonsense. This argument isn't applied to Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein.

There's a reason Mexicans have a reputation of hard work. You can see tons of them in a Home Depot lot looking for work. Do blacks go to Home Depot lots? No, I never see them.

Ok but what about my question though?

 

[Half-Life]

.... some dogs are dumber than others. But for some reason, they hate applying this logic to humans.

If this represents your theory, then how do you explain the academically-accepted fact, as repeatedly confirmed by modern science, that in all other species except humans that have been tested, darker skin (or a darker coat/fur) due to higher levels of melanin, is positively correlated with slight but statistically significant higher levels of intelligence compared to lighter variants in the same species? What is it that you think has made humans, apparently, according to your theory, the evolutionary exception?

'God' will not be accepted as a convincing answer.

No, the answer lies elsewhere. I wonder if you can guess what it is.

I am aware of no such studies. The studies I am aware of show black people have overall less intelligence than other races. This would explain why Africa remains dirt poor despite the continent existing for thousands and thousands of years before they even knew white people existed.

Nowadays, it's not PC to say this, so scientists have to say, "No scientific data exists to conclude certain races are smarter than others." Even science has become PC. The scientists who promote a non-leftist agenda are fired.

The Enlightenment was all white people. Africa is not known for any philosophy or critical thinking.

 

[ruby sparks]

Ok but you said something about dog breeds, and intelligence, and logic.

 

[ruby sparks]

Essentially, what I'm asking is, why is it that on average, all other things being equal, the dog in the middle would be slightly less intelligent than the other two?

 

[ruby sparks]

Or here's a different question. How come studies show no (or no significant) difference in intelligence between black human infants and white ones, when a small set of controls (for age, socio-economic status, home environment and prenatal environment) are in place?

You realize the right laughs at the phrase "socioeconomic factors," right? Sociology isn't a real science. Only leftists believe it.

Reconstruction of ancient Egyptian house.


Reconstruction of Northern European house from around the same time.

Yes, I think I see your point. I guess what happened was, more intelligent northern European white people snuck into North Africa.......about 5 thousand years ago, and....then the Egyptians found out that they existed, and learned from them.

Whatever. What's your explanation? According to you, the black infants should be less intelligent.

 

[ruby sparks]

Ok this is similar to the dog question. Why do you think the man in the first picture (who would have lived in the reed swamp hut, above) was less intelligent than the people in the second one (who would have lived in the swanky stone town house, above, at around the same time)?

 

[ruby sparks]

Give up? Ok, I'll give you a clue:



I assume that now you can see why I initially asked you about the dogs.

If Half-life answers your question before he provides proof that doctors are actually diagnosing people with trump derangement syndrome as though it is a real thing, I'm gonna be pissed.

I have never heard of TDS. What is a Trump Dog anyway?

Maybe he meant this?




You'd think they'd have picked an intelligent colour of dog for the front cover.

I think our POTUS is a prime example of a sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Half-life is the marketing "expert". He could explain it to us. I just hope he uses small words so us mere mortals understand.

Doesn't explain why Half-life believes doctors have made it a real thing, apparently.

Pure stupidity. Everyone knows Egypt was more advanced than the rest of the Continent. For some reason, it was.

But the rest of the continent? Absolutely nothing. Egyptians are also not black. They are light skinned brownish.

Every time we bring up Africa, leftists also shout "Egypt!" as if one country out of the whole continent speaks for the whole thing. This would be like someone asking, "Why is America so poor? I been to Mississippi."

 

[ruby sparks]

I don't know why you're using the present tense (weird) but apparently they were not white, that's the point. And the southern ones (Nubians), who ruled the area until 8th C BC, were apparently dark-skinned and negroid.

 

[ruby sparks]

Odd, eh? And it was far more advanced, for thousands of years, than any white civilisation and it lasted longer than white, 'western' civilisation has so far. Funny that. Quite an extended non-white blip.

 

[ruby sparks]

Almost as odd as white infants apparently being as intelligent as black ones.
