Many of the comments made by this guy prove that he is merely a bigot, and his "assertions" have nothing to do with scientific evidence.

I have to concede some of his statements in the article, particularly the one about anyone having to work with black people are bigotted. I am more interested in the studies he mentions.

There was the book, "The Bell Curve" that was mentioned in the article. Apparently, there is some evidence to support his assertions in that.

Which assumes that "Intelligence must be primarily genetically based", but provides no proof. The fact that blacks score lower than whites on IQ tests does not go anywhere near far enough.

This is obviously true. Do you see why?

Intelligence is also primarily molecule-based too. I always think its funny when people misuse arguments like that about the "biological nature" or the "genetic nature" of certain traits.

This guy also knows more about the effects of someone's genetics on their life than you do. Do you see why?

Borodog is not a racist, sexist, homophobe or old windbag. I don't look up to him, just like him. Stop calling other posters names.

I was assuming you were referring to James Watson. "This guy" is somewhat vague.

Is there an accurate way of measuring intelligence? No

Do I see why? No
