I said WTF because it appeared that you were attempting to discredit everything in your little short, snippy comment. I couldn’t believe that someone would, in this day and age, try to discount accomplishments made in this country by african-americans. But you have cleared yourself a few times to show that whole inventions by a few were not created by them, but improvements were made. But what was the purpose of that? It had no purpose and that’s why I called you an internet warrior. But, what do you expect? BTW, which mall is your store located? Do you have to wear an T-Mobile polo shirt while you are selling service plans to college students?[/quote]

Goddamnit I had a nice apology written out for you and the site crashed on me. Anyway Al(can I call you Al?) I like you you’re one of the old school members from when I first joined (I was superpimp). I’m sorry if you got the wrong impression I meant no disrespect to any accomplishment made by anyone. I hate when things are said xyz and they are taken for truth Micheal Moore films cause me to break things. As far as a polo yep I wear an at&t polo as I sell in my store, I made 60k this year to start(first year with this company), mandatory raises every 6mos, $34 a month for medical dental and vision, free cell service free phones, and the occasional naked picture sent by some college girl or cougar with a what do you think tagline. Life is good

Interesting thread guys.

This is my first post and I have no intentions of stumbling into a race row but… it’s pretty obvious that high IQ (or more importantly intelligence)prevalent amongst bodybuilders (A group I include myself in) of any race.

There have been few statements that amount to anything more than personal opinion. It appears that even fewer have a grip on genetics.

I would walk away from this one, I cant see any winners!

Sorry to single one thing out but i’m sure the helicopter was inventing by a pretty famous itialian gentleman before the US was discovered by europeans.

Where did you get these alleged facts and some of theses terms
are ambiguous

My white History teacher[/quote]

I am not positive but I will bet the dust pan was invented B.C. by an unknown cave woman she could have well been black.

I bet the wrench was invented by the person that invented the nut and bolt

I remember hearing about seals on letters in the Bible

Which traffic signal are you speaking of, ( a road sign)?

If your stupid should you have less rights and such than someone who is more intelligent?

A pretty funny question to be asking on a bodybuilding site, where most of the members are firmly of the opinion that a person with smaller muscles is automatically inferior… less of a person, to use your term.

I’ll turn the question around. Do you actually believe that all people are equal?[/quote]

no all people are not equal. Especially the irish. That doesnt justify pushing them around.

i was just pointing out that some people are under the assumption that saying they have less intelligent makes them less worthy of rights. or at least thats what i get from something someone here said. I dont remember who and dont care to look for it.

It makes it look like intelligence is some magical attribute that makes a human worthy of rights. Its a slippery slope, where soon theres IQ tests you have to pass to get to vote or qualify for basic rights. Especially the irish

interesting thread, it has not broken down into the flame war i thought it would.

my only contribution is just coincidental observations i have made living most of my life around a majority of black people(raised in a town that was about 60-70% black, married and created two children with a black woman).

the stuff nominal prospect spouted about blacks becoming physically and emotionally mature sooner than whites, i agree with. the cause i have not a clue, but i see it all the time.

during family gatherings, while the white tots are toddling around, bumping into things and falling down, the same age black kids are running, doing back flips off the couch, and putting on some SWEEEEET dance moves while watching BET. i am exagerating to make a point for sure, but not too much.

also, all the black people i know(which is the majority of people i know period) are very self confident, sure of themselves and their beliefs, you might even say cocky and arrogant, and have been so from a very early age. while their white counterparts are very wishy-washy, easily influenced, self deprecating, and unsure of themselves.

i have worked emergency departments and trauma centers all over the country, and the vast majority of suicides and people presenting with depression and emotional issues are white. i cant remember the last black suicide. maybe back in the late 1990s, i had one who blew his head off, but if i remember correctly, there was some controversy as if the wife was the actually culprit.

nope, blacks in general, are not showing up depressed and overdosing on pills, just the spoiled little white idiots. they(blacks) think far to much of themselves to do anything like that. they are killing each other though.

again, i am exaggerating to make points, but again, not by much. as to the causes, i have no clue, i think it is more cultural than race/genetic though, just in my opinion.

LOL. I would have to say though that it is possibly that Blacks in the USA are generally stronger and more athletic because of selective breeding. Compare the blacks in the USA to those in Africa, even the well fed blacks in cities. The american Blacks are much stronger. It only makes sense that slave owners, who also breed and sell slaves would use some sort of selective breeding.

107

This is a real real dumb post. First if the blacks were selectively bred to be less intelligent it would not gaurantee that all blacks are stupid. It would simply give average black person less potential, some would still be very smart.

Second the example of fighter pilots has absolutly no relationship to the discussion, is your argument that fighter pilots are exceptionally intelligent?

And third the Egyptians were never taken as slaves by the Americans.

Don’t be a fool.
