However, how would you ever KNOW that the science is true? Have we completed our total understanding of how the human body works? We cannot even cure cancer and a host of other diseases.....so obviously there is much more to learn than it is that we know. However, people are eager to run with any little piece of science that MIGHT suggest that.....because its already what many believe and want to believe.

Conservatives don't tend to give credit for the condition of inequality of blacks.....to anything external to blacks. Despite centuries of documented racism.....nope....no effect on the current black condition of inequality. The only external link that the will give is to liberalism or progressivism. However, again, why would blacks fall for that supposed con while most whites were too smart too? Again, the conservative reasoning always falls back upon the rarely stated premise of what you just offered, which is that blacks are inferior innately relative to whites.

This is why the conservative gets labeled a racist because that reasoning fits the dictionary's definition of the term. People see through the conservative.....and the conservative is only fooling themselves then get upset that we are not all fools.
I don't know what "the truth" is given that human beings and human societies are complex systems that evolve over time. Trying to understand how racial differences relate to different social outcomes is like trying to forecast the weather. Not an exact science, but you can get it in the ballpark generally.

I do think that it strains credibility to say that all the races are 100% identical when it comes to innate abilities across populations. This is the gospel that liberals have been trying to sell us for a long time. But in their heart of hearts, most people probably do not believe this to be true.

He is probably angry that he wasn't able to take the money away from you and give it away in his name.

Yes, Obama fanned the flames of racism for eight years.

I can respect the other posters who just came out and admitted their beliefs. I do not agree with them at all, but I really do respect their honesty. You, on the other hand, have just played a game of obfuscation, deflection and subterfuge.....hardly worthy of any respect.

I do not think that liberals are trying to sell that gospel. The gospel that liberals are trying to sell is that such reasoning is the root of racism.

As long as what you said is a BELIEF and not an undisputed FACT, its RACISM.

Facts the LEFT doesn't like have also become RACIST. It is all the have left at this point to combat the facts that show that progressive (Democrat) policies are an UTTER FAILURE. If you yell racism, sexism etc it ends the argument as nobody wants to be considered racist even though their facts are CORRECT. It is a way for the LEFT to continue escaping reality in quest for their UTOPIA. Meanwhile Soros and the elite get richer.

How can you know that without a point of reference? You have only been here since 2011. I have seen your posts. Anything negative about Obama was always racist in your mind. You don't think someone can disagree with his policies without being racist?

Again, you made this all up because you don't have anything to back up what you say. You cannot discuss the issue because of your blinded agenda.
I have given you the answer twice now. Here's the 3rd time, lets see if you deflect yet again.

Again why don't YOU tell everyone here why single parenthood in the black community has sky rocketed and is many times higher now vs the Jim Crow days if it's about racism. Besides the war on drugs. That has some influence.

Again Is there more big government welfare now than there was 50 years ago? Did family take care of family back in Jim Crow days or did government? <<< Ignore this like you did last time. Whatever you do don't discuss this. Instead kept ignoring what I've said and continue to play the race card. It's what you do best.
