@KirkegaardEmil@JayMan471@EdAsante77 Yes, current IQ distribution. But is that caused by innate ability or cultural/educational factors?
@PirateSpitter You seem to disagree with yourself "I have zero doubt that blacks have the same ability? Ability difference or not?

-
@KirkegaardEmil The question then is, is it simply because they're black and black humans all over the world have lower IQs innately. -
@PirateSpitter So, you now agree that ability difference is real, but just deny that it is genetic. -
@PirateSpitter The question next is: which step do you not agree with? http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/race_intelligence_overview.jpg … -
@KirkegaardEmil What I contend is that the range of IQs in a group is determined OVER TIME by economic and social success or failure. -
@PirateSpitter You are not using the word "range" correctly. It's confusing. :P -
@KirkegaardEmil Apologies. I am not as familiar with scientific nomenclature. :) -
@PirateSpitter Why are you trying to discuss a politically sensitive matter on twitter about a topic you don't understand? -
@KirkegaardEmil I think I understand the topic, but there's always more to learn. That's what discussion is for. - 2 more replies

@KirkegaardEmil Given a neutral playing field, I believe all races would have the same distribution of IQs. Obv. this is impossible to test. -
@PirateSpitter Not at all. We could count the frequencies of their genes for cognitive ability, right? And what about admixture mapping?

@KirkegaardEmil It's that part I don't buy. -
.
@PirateSpitter But Blacks all over the world *do* have a lower IQ distribution. Rank order the same for other races.@KirkegaardEmil -

@PirateSpitter It's hardly unique to the U.S.@KirkegaardEmil

@KirkegaardEmil But certainly it is fact that currently black Americans' IQs are lower on average than whites or Asians. Not disputing that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil Thought experiment: what if it had been Africans who had enslaved whites and oppressed them for centuries?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil I think those IQ ranges might be reversed.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
