The thread in question.

In America the main divider is class IMO. More black people are poor, more black live in the inner city where schools are terrible. Poverty and lack of education leads to a culture of crime and general stupidity across all races. Look at white trailer trash.

Well where was the last place you remember having it? Look there first.

My former best friend is black... Dropped out of Harvard twice, who knew southerners would hate those winters. Dude even swam for them. Shocking, i know. His dad played football at an ivy and his mom graduated from one of the sister schools... so he isn't a genetic sport. He's genetically superior to 99.9999999% of tRant (me included)

The whole argument is idiotic. A person's race, sex, or location geographically has nothing to do with mental capacity.

90% of how you act is what you grow up around.

While I don't use colors or race to describe people, I can otherwise completely agree with you. I consider all humans to be of only one race because there just aren't physical differences significant enough to justify the use of race.

Neanderthals and Denisovans were other races (some say subspecies of Homo) that lived alongside our direct ancestor, Homo sapiens. They, of course, are now extinct.

That said, you're spot on about the effects that socioeconomic factors have on the perception of groups that are poor and uneducated. In graduate school, I did research on the similarities between poor inner-city residents and and poor Applachian communities.

The results were startling in how much the groups resembled each other. Both groups had a similar fatalistic view of the future.

Young people, especially, turned to crime and drugs as outlets for their frustration with the hopelessness they felt.

I concluded that you can put the stressors of generational poverty and lack of education on any group of humans and the results will be the same. Crime and drug use will become endemic and a sense of community as most of us know it cannot exist.

And you came to the tRant seeking it?

There has been a discussion in which a good number of posters have been arguing that Blacks are "evolutionarily different" than Whites in terms of mental capacity and are thus not as intelligent.

Black people have strong feelings for Krispy Kreme, clearly this is a strong sign of higher intelligent.
