why is there such a remarkable difference in intelligence and ambition between white and black people?

Question

Could it be that black people are lower on the evolutionary ladder?

Answer 1

Congratulations. You've just narrowed the world's population into white and black. Problem is that there are brilliant black doctors, scientists, teachers, revolutionary leaders. Look at all the people who were celebrated during Black History month. Tell me that they lack intelligence or ambition. And then get off your *** and go to a human biology class, I think it's just you that's lower on the evolutionary ladder. Did someone let you out of your cage of the science department?

Answer 2

Great! Now, let me ask you something, could it be that white people are lower on the ladder when it comes to singing, dancing, and playing sports?
Norbert Rilleux (1806-1894). He is one of three Black scientists who actually revolutionized an industry. In Rilleux's case it was sugar refining. By inventing the vacuum-pan evaporator, he transformed the sugar industry of the world.
George Washington Carver (1860-1943) who rescued the South from being transformed into a hopelessly backward agricultural adjunct to the North, similar to the role played by the southern part of Italy until very recently.
It was Carver's work in soil improvement and the diversification of crops which made him famous. He discovered hundreds of uses for the peanut, the sweet potato and the soybean and thus stimulated the culture of these important crops. He also derived many products from cotton wastes and extracted blue, purple and red pigments from local clay.
Jan Matzeliger (1852-1889). He invented what at the time seemed an impossible feat--a machine which would mass-produce shoes. Matzeliger accomplished for the shoe industry what Eli Whitney's gin did for the cotton industry of the South.
Elijah McCoy (1844-1929) the man who invented the automatic lubrication of machinery.
Lewis H. Latimer (1848-1928) advanced electric lighting and Garrett A. Morgan (1877-1963) who invented the traffic light.
Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806). Banneker was a scientist, astronomer, mathematician, clockmaker and surveyor. These are only a few. There are many more blacks who made scientific/technological discoveries and achievements. However I do agree that blacks may not be educating the next generation to be scientists and inventors because America now has better access to technology which make them more reluctant to learn how to invent things.

Answer 3

That isn't true. If black people were lower on the evolutionary scale they would be a different species than white people. If that were true, then it wouldn't be possible for a mixed race couple to have children.
Intelligence tests tend to be culturally biased towards white people, and children who come from a lower economic background tend to score lower on intelligence tests. Black families tend to be of lower economic background than most white families, and therefore the kids tend to score lower on intelligence tests. Also, a lot of black families might not place an emphasis on education, so a lot of black children don't feel encouraged to seek an education.
Black people generally came to the USA as slaves, white people came here because they wanted to. I don't understand it, but there seems to be something about the slavery years that has caused a lot of black people to think they aren't as good, or they don't have a chance to do well. Also, black people were treated differently than whites all the way up in into the 1960s--they had to go to different schools, use different bathrooms, and ride in the back of buses because the front seats were reserved for white people, the only jobs they could get were low paid and low status--maids, cooks, janitors and so on. If somebody keeps telling you you're no good, you might start believing it after a while.
I'm white but I know black people who are smarter and more ambitious than me, there are black people who have advanced college degrees, professors, medical doctors and all kinds of things. I used to have a black girl friend who could speak at least four languages. I can only speak one. I know a lot of white people who are stupid as Hell and live on wellfare.

Answer 4

I think the school system is design for minorities to go as far as McDonald's they do not teach much in city public schools
they have a system where some kids get better education than others in the same school in the same grade this is discrimination quick example:
send two soldiers to war with the same training
give one a pistol, with six bullets
give the second one a machine gun grenade launcher bulletproof jacket enough ammo to last a moth and a helicopter to come back.
who has the best chance of survival.
this is what you doing with the school system. Give every one the same education across the board and lets see who is the better man.

Answer 5

Well I am not a racist by all means so people please do not look at me in that way I am just addressing this question scientifically.

Well the blacks in America came from a long line of oppressed slaves. Slaves who never were allowed to learn and never had to think for themselves or there future. Now these slaves were let go and they started having families. They slowly started learning and being educated. But this was hard considering they were not economically able to do so. And the people they learned from were descended from the slaves also. So they themselves had a very limited intelligence. Blacks are still slowly adapting to our culture. And are being given the same chances whites have been given therefore they are moving to the same level as us on the ladder. Some people say this is true for woman also who were oppressed for years. This is harsh and politically incorrect to talk about. But that's how I look at it.

This has nothing to do with evolution though. Well it does in a sense because of adaption. But we are both the same species.



How do you have an IQ of 180 is that even possible? Mine is 142

Answer 6

You are too funny! You can't be serious, right? My IQ is 186, not low, higher than most people I know, including whites... the only person who I know for sure has a higher intelligence quota than I is my older brother at 190... Well if you feel this way seriously, how do white people feel about having lower IQs than Asians?

Answer 7

What evidence do you have to support this rediculous theory of yours?

Are you a scientist? Are you God?

I think you're intentionally trying to incite an argument based on racism. It's quite childish.

Either join the bottom feeders of the KKK or get over your misplaced superiority complex so you can enter the realm of reality.

Answer 8

My IQ is 180, and at school I see scores of idiotic whites (and others) who act like monkeys. I feel alone and depressed, but luckily I have intelligent friends. So, you could say that I (and others) are surrounded by morons! Yes, it's possible to have an IQ of 180 (or more!)

Answer 9

There is not a remarkable difference in intelligence and ambition, there is a difference in the opportunity for quality education, and cultural surroundings

Answer 10

Yes, whites have a natural hunger for blood...jk

It is an idiot who thinks that intelligence is solely based on this made up thing called race.
