Talking to a friend. Some people from the Congo moved in down the street awhile back. Overall friendly people. No real complaints other than the fact they shouldnt be here.
But they are so fucking stupid. They drive slowly but their ability to drive well is horrendous.
Talking to a friend about the average IQ being less than 70 for their country. He said “well IQ tests are designed for Western intelligence not other cultures.”
I replied with “why are they in our culture then? This doesnt seem like a strength for us.”
Lightbulb started to turn on.
WRONG!
The standard deviation white/black IQ gap is evident in the [first](https://archive.li/7eukb) tests of children, when [cultural](https://archive.li/QiRsN) differences are minimal, and is [consistent](https://archive.li/8Enxf) throughout life. It’s not about income or “opportunity,” either. The poorest whites are [comparably](https://archive.li/uSx7u) intelligent to the wealthiest blacks. Even when using the SAT as a proxy for IQ, the white-black gap is increasing. Africans perform identically on non-cultural intelligence tests such as [Raven’s Progressive Matrices](https://archive.li/lS7GX), backward [digit span](https://archive.li/u1WrN), and reaction time tests.
Ask him, “If Africans are the same species as Europeans, why don’t they pass the mirror test until 5 years of age when Europeans do so at 18 months? Why is the African gestation period a week shorter than that of Europeans? Why can the groups be distinguished solely from looking at their skulls?”
