Would you please stop smugly bashing Hera?

[Al B. Sure!]

Well more specifically what is different about European racism to your white-hood-wearing, black-hanging variety?

And the burkha banning was France, and only France. But we have Islam right on our doorstep unlike you, so it does create different circumstances.

But I get the feeling from the way you talk that it is just good old Philadelphia ghetto style racism/ignorance.

Islam right on your doorstep? Oh the horrors! Evil Islam! It's like the Battle of Tours or the Battle of Vienna all over again! Must repel the evil Mohammadean Saracens!

but also more explicit Stormfront-associated blogs).

Bull****. I wouldn't touch that cesspool with a anon browser.

Also the only guy who I can recall who I mentioned who happens to write for vdare was Steve Sailer. And the number of links to him are dwarfed compared to links to sites of anthropologists like Peter Frost or scientist like Gregory Cochran or science bloggers like Razib Khan.

Anyway the SPLC are a cry wolf organization I couldn't care less what they think.

Also I'm just so tired by everyone focusing on Blacks all the time. **** seriously read about what I write, I'm quite sure I spent more ink talking about high Askenazi IQ, Indo-European lactose tolerance as a cause for the spread of language, Tibetan vs. Andean adaptations to high latitude, Neanderthall admixture in Eurasians, ect.

Alby I never said anything disrespectful about Blacks or in fact any racial group. Which is more than I can say about you. I think people here still clearly remember your rant against White women who choose to date Black men or you stating Asians tend to be crappy people.

[Al B. Sure!]

Bull****.

Oh really? That European blog wasn't racist? Remember that one?

[DaShi]

You're all racists!

[Heraclitus]

Oh really? That European blog wasn't racist? Remember that one?

The Swedish one? Yes it was racist, but I don't recall links to stormfront. There are implicit racists. Then there are racialists. And then there are ****ing internet racist ***** that blame all their problems on other groups of people and spend time and energy hating them.

Also you seem to be forgetting that I didn't link to it, the story I linked to simply turned out to have originally originated there.

Considering all the sheer volume of the stuff I posted a fall in the mud like that was bound to happen and recall that I immediately apologised for that and dismissed the story.

Too right. I don't want sharia law and for my wife to have to dress like a black postbox...

Muslims are treated in western europe much better than christians in the middle east.

No.

A black postbox? What do you have against blacks?

[Al B. Sure!]

Oh that's why women throughout the Islamic world are covered from head to toe?

As usual, European racism comes out.

And just so you know, Hera's claims are about average IQ being low. All the non-Chinese/Japanese/Koreans/Jews/Northern Europeans are inferior because they have low average IQ's and the smarter outliers will invariably have descendants who regress to their low means. To him, there is no cultural explanation; purely genetic.

What I find interesting is that his IQ data correlates with GDP per capita. He has a few exceptions like some of the small Arab emirates (though the Arab elite are a minority in these countries so I'm not sure who the national IQ represents), but for the most part, the middling countries as diverse as all the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Islamic world, the Balkans, Eastern Europe except for Poland, etc. all have average IQ's in the high 80's/low 90's. Then you have India and SE Asia with it in the mid-80's. Then sub-Saharan Africa in the high 70's. It's almost like if you had a scale and were comparing the economic wealth of each country, the IQ ranges would fit perfectly.

Call me stupid but it's obvious what's going on here but Hera and his racist ilk don't see it. We know it's not that the average IQ of the population is the cause for the low GDP per capita since there's a multitude of better explanations for the GDP disparities. Rather, the poverty of a country is influencing its average IQ's.

I'm so tired of this Alby.

North Korea high IQ
Jews emigrating from the Soviet Union high IQ
The children of the poorest Asian Americas do better than the kids of the richest Blacks on their SATs and every other measure of academic performance.
Northern Europe isn't a high IQ population.

I've never said all of the gap is entirely genetic, that would be retarded since the IQ gap between Blacks and Whites shrunk in the early and middle of the 20th century form 1.5 stdv to 1 stdv. All I've ever said is that we are seeing the effects of both environment and genetics here. I've stated that I think about 50% of the gap is probably due to genetics.

You could probably thrown in a reference to the Flynn effect.

I've talked about the Flynn effect until I was blue in the face, I was usually the first to bring it up. But people still cite it as some kind of massive trump. I won't bother restating info and arguments here.

It doesn't make sense. How is it that some of these 'inferior' people with low average IQ's (like Mediterraneans) are some of the most culturally accomplished people on earth? How did civilization form in the Middle East if the average IQ of an Iraqi is 85? Yes, it may have only taken a few brilliant individuals in the right place or the right time but from a higher average IQ you can expect more brilliant outliers. Why did it take thousands of years for the 100+ IQ Northern Europeans to do something?

Either the Iraqis got stupider somehow or average IQ has little bearing on the construction of society, discovery of technologies, etc. And if the latter is the case, why give a **** about IQ? Why have Idiocracy-inspired nightmares?

[Heraclitus]

Please stop referring to low IQ people as inferior.

Whether you believe in HBD or not, below average people are by definition half of the population. They deserve some minimal measure of respect and the same human dignity going to our most accomplished fellow humans.

1. I always explicitly stated that the Flynn effect has only ended in developed nations, the Middle East is probably going to end up in the low 90s, which is actually above the human average (which I guess is somewhere in the high 80s or so).

2. I've never said IQs have been fixed in historic time. Or have you missed my threads about Jews and eugenics in general?

3. Low hanging fruit.

4. A large population of low IQ humans can sometimes do more than a small group of high IQ humans.
