Wow! a poster produced by the "racism" industry against the Nobel prize winner who discovered DNA. Who is more credible?

 

Discovering the means by which attributes are passed from generation to generation does not make you an authority on the 'intelligence' and work ethic of an entire race of people. Very clever people say very stupid things sometimes when commenting on things outside of their field of expertise. It's not dissimilar to us lot (who specialise in the world of trees) self righteously debating the rights and wrongs of the complex world of politics (the intricacies of which we know very little).

 

To imply that we are 'better' than black Africans just because we score better in Western derived tests of IQ is hideous. If us British whites of long lineage are so bloomin brilliant and the path our country has chosen to take so great why do we spend so much of our time moaning about our lot?

 

You are right that the West has been responsible for the development of most of the technical inovations in recent times and our ways of life and aspirations have altered dramatically as a result. Whether we are truly better off for this would make for an interesting discussion.

 

It would do this thread a great credit if we kept away from sweeping generalisations branding whole races of people as one thing or another. It not only tarnishes what is a brilliant forum but also makes people think you are a complete pillock.:)

The Village Idiot,

 

I was a bit bored and found the info below. It's interesting stuff.

 

"And some scholars have reported differences in average brain sizes between Africans, Europeans and Asians. J. P. Rushton has argued that Africans on average have smaller brain cases and brains than Europeans, and that this is evidence that the gap is biological in nature."

 

"Recent reviews by Nisbett et al. (2012b) and Mackintosh (2011) consider that current data does show an average difference in brain size and head-circumference between American Blacks and Whites"

 

I base my opinions on frantic google searches to find impressive sounding snippets which I mistakenly believe support my prejudiced, reactionary and offensive views. What do you base your opinions on? Wishful thinking or posters produced by lobby groups?

 

As Felix would say: "fixed that for ya"

I think we've all seen the advert on telly for the charity looking for money for Africa. It shows a black kid getting water from a dirty puddle then shows a donkey p1ssing in the puddle. You really think a culture that cant erect a fence to keep p1ssing donkeys out their drinking water is to be celebrated? You think a culture that cant dig their own wells is to be celebrated?

 

50 years ago people would have accepted that the races are different, in places like India/ the Middle East etc they accept that the races are different. This White Liberal idea that has developed over the last 50 years that all races are "equal" is quite frankly laughable. There's no evidence that says the races are "equal" in fact most of the evidence says the races are not equal.

 

It's about time we all woke up and smelled the coffee.

I don't think I've ever read such a pile of c***. You should be ashamed of yourself. Corruption is holding most of these people back.

I reckon you've won bigot of the year at the 2015 arb talk awards, and you've beaten off some pretty stiff competition
