Gotta love the racial double standard!

The theory that racism applied to the majority class is just as bad as when applied to the minority, does not hold water.

In that case it's satire. That being said I fvcking hate that liar.

Well, the thing is, blacks aren't exactly the minority in this country anymore. They aren't the majority. But they aren't the minority either.

I guess that doesn't really matter. I'm just sick and tired of the freaking double standard.
 
Mandos was obviously kidding.
Half the population of ATOT don't have the IQ to get it, so he edited it so people would quit giving him crap about it.

The newer IQ tests check your information absorption rate using non-cultural stuff and things you read about 10 minutes before. I think. Something like that.

The SAT is nothing but a test to see how well you can take tests. It's specifically designed to try and trick you with misleading questions. News flash: if you ever have a professor that goes out of their way to design a test with tricky questions, not based on content but wording and etc., then you have a bad professor. That's called being an ass.

The ACT is a much better gauge of intelligence. It actually tests your reasoning skills rather than your "figure out the lame test question" skills.

What are you, Moonbeam's cousin?

its very possible the test is faulty/biased against blacks resulting in false scores for them... but the solution should be to fix the tests, not exclude blacks. CA people are tards

Way to make blanket judgements about large groups of people in a racism thread.
 
Good for her. Maybe this will bring reality back to education. I only wish I knew what you needed to score to be selected for the remedial classes. Those test are denied to blacks because nearly all would qualify. Not because the test are biased but because evolution is. Yet we deny that fact and lump everyone together in an attempt to have equality. This is not to say blacks are stupid or can't learn but that different teaching methods may be needed and our idea that equality means everybody gets the same thing is flawed.

This is exactly the attitude that prevents true equality. I said something that might offend someone and I am considered a racist. If you knew me you would know nothing could be further from the truth.

Edit: I did not say any race was better than the other but they are different.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

You made a blanket statement about blacks being selected for remedial classes and don't consider that to be a racist comment?

I'll highlight the bit you may want to rethink:

I love how unintelligent people redefine intelligence to better suit themselves.
 
Many times stupid laws go unseen until someone stumbles across a few people who know the law and are willing to uphold it. Like this mother and her school. Who cares if blacks were constistantly scoring low on an IQ test? If they need the help in education, FFS give it to them! Maybe THIS is what started all that freaking STUPID speak that Cosby is ranting about!

If you're dumb, you're dumb. Get help. The judge from the state ruling back in the 70's was just as ignorant as the ones failing the IQ test!

There are no differences at all between races?

Edit: Even if the gap is not completely genetic in origin the gap in IQ between races cannot be denied.

Not beyond some cursory stuff like skin tone, etc. Certainly nothing that would prevent any given group from scoring well on a test like this. The differences here are social/cultural, not racial and definitely don't have any roots in evolution.

Edit: Even if the gap is not completely genetic in origin the gap in IQ between races cannot be denied.
Perhaps you could provide us with some data to back up both the claim that there is some genetic basis for differences in intellectual capacity amongst the various races and any studies you may have on IQ testing as well?
