Oh, I understand perfectly. First, cherry-pick a date from over a hundred years ago. Then compare blacks from one particular city in the US to whites in a different country.

Using those constraints, I could make any race look smarter than any other race.

Why not stick to blacks and whites raised in the same place?

I was comparing whites to blacks in the same country and city. What kind of drugs are you on?

What your example showed is culture tops genetics. A perfectly good use of data that only an ignoramus would not recognize.

I said raised in the same country. I can go grab any two groups of people and put them in the same spot. What kind of drugs are you on?

According to "science" there is no such thing as race.

If you find a group of chimpanzees living in the wild and take DNA from 2 of its members, their will be a greater differences in those 2 chimps DNA (than differences in a black and white persons DNA.)

But I'm sure Adolf Hitler would have loved your post.

We have to go back over 50 years just to eliminate the nasty effects of welfare that disproportionately screwed the black family.

Well if there's no such thing as race, then I guess there's no such thing as racism.

Chad is a liberal. Ignore his no such thing as race crapola. Racism exists and you are living proof of that.

"Anthropologists, biologists and geneticists have increasingly found that, biologically speaking; there is no such thing as "race.""

That's not science that's a media political correct opinion piece on the topic. You might as well say there's no such thing as skin color too or brother and sister lol.

Genetic variety of a species in even humans doesn't address that genetic variety is correlated at several gene locations for different populations groups or races. In other words people of the same race have more of the same genes than they do with people of another race. Otherwise how do you think a person's race can be identified just from DNA? I suppose you could also identify related chimpanzees too.

You are repeating the Lewontin's Fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_...'s_Fallacy

Quote:
Edwards argued that while Lewontin's statements on variability are correct when examining the frequency of different alleles (variants of a particular gene) at an individual locus (the location of a particular gene) between individuals, it is nonetheless possible to classify individuals into different racial groups with an accuracy that approaches 100 percent when one takes into account the frequency of the alleles at several loci at the same time. This happens because differences in the frequency of alleles at different loci are correlated across populations — the alleles that are more frequent in a population at two or more loci are correlated when we consider the two populations simultaneously. Or in other words, the frequency of the alleles tends to cluster differently for different populations.

Just what progressives do. Don't like something, resort to calling "bigot!". I never said one thing bigoted.
