A question for all Black subscribers to Glenn Loury: Do YOU believe in "race realism" as understood by the Jared Taylor's and Amy Wax's of the world? Do you believe that you/we as a people or a category are inherently handicapped intellectually and thereby *incapable* of achieving what others have achieved or can achieve?
And if you DON'T, why not? What's stopping you from getting on the Wax/Taylor train? After all, there's all this data that "proves" we can't do but so much, right?
I suspect that NONE of us believe this. I know I don't. Not even a smidgen. Partly because of the endless barrage of insincere arguments that hail from White nationalist sympathizers like Amy Wax. But that's just me.
Evidently, even Thomas Sowell is sick of this s***:
Not black, but all the metadata I've seen indicate that when all other variables are held constant, there is no variation in IQ between large groups.
For example, poor, rural kids in SC's low country struggle equally regardless of race.
There's also been a sizable shift in female performance in math, when at one point the lower performance was considered genetic.
The white/black gap in IQ has also been closing as the income and education gaps between median whites and median blacks close.
I do think there is a huge culture issue, as far as a defiant attitude. As I mentioned on another post, black employees are far less compliant with standards around safety and respect for female engineers. They simply won't keep the volume down so alarms can be heard, and won't filter out songs involving sexual violence.
That's very much a "black problem", but I don't think it's genetic.
"all the metadata I've seen indicate that when all other variables are held constant, there is no variation in IQ between large groups."
Those who carry certain agendas don't want to dig but so deep. When they hear the data that pleases them, they act like there's no more research to do. They are so transparent.
"That's very much a "black problem", but I don't think it's genetic."
Neither do I. But there are those who insist otherwise, no matter what.
I’ve gone to only occasionally visiting the site because there is so much cherry-picked nonsense peddled here. It comes across as arguments made by Candace Owens if she had a PhD.
Edit to add:
Thanks for the link to the article. It does humanize Sowell’s commentary. Very useful.
The Conservatives here seem to be full of themselves. I am watching a Conservative Party surrender its moral values for a conman/rapist, then lecturing the Black community. I don’t take Conservatives seriously and find little reason to expect to have rational debates with them.

At any rate, if you wanna speak your piece, please chime in.

I was wondering what happened to you, Redd =)
Believe me, I get it. 100%. But the more serious contributors would speak more if I had my druthers.

Be careful., Trump can include you in his lawsuit against George Stephanopoulos.
LOL
Unfortunately, they have a lotta clout in this country.
Which of course speaks volumes about the country.
