No idea generally. I’ve never seen anyone imply that white people have to intentionally and actively not self segregate when it’s just their personal life but I’m sure it’s happened out there somewhere.
An attitude like that is going to get you kicked out of the science club. By and large, descriptive stats in and of themselves are not adequate explanatory constructs.

I asked you why blacks show the same unsuccessful behaviors in other countries such as Canada and the UK.
I’m not obligated to give you a far reaching history lesson on these countries, that’s for you to figure out if you so desire.
Otherwise just concede by saying you don’t know why.
I’m not obligated to give you a far-reaching science lesson every time that you’ve laughably misinterpreted or misquoted a scientific study, that’s for you to figure out if you so desire.
In the meantime, you can just concede that you don’t understand nearly any of the science behind the links you post.

What exactly do you even offer to this thread? Have you given any insights on the topic at hand?
We get it you know how to sift through a study, now show everyone you’re not a one trick pony who can add something to this discussion
How was this post not an “insight on the topic at hand” ?
It’s not my fault you ignored it, lol.

Let’s not be disingenuous here. You’re doing far more than simply asking a question–you’re insinuating a causal connection regarding race and these statistics. And the burden for supporting that insinuation falls on you.
I’m happy to concede I don’t know why. The question is, are you willing to concede that you don’t know why? (Because based on what you’ve posted thus far, it’s clear you don’t.)

I’m not being disingenuous, I’m asking how your worldview accounts for the fact I presented above. I’ve completely stated why this happening, I’m now asking for you to justify your worldview.
I’ve already explained this -Remember the Warrior gene, lower average IQs and higher average T levels?
Don’t have the urge to repeat what I’ve said multiple times.
He offers it a lot more than you do. He already has offered substantial critiques of studies you’ve posted–which incidentally is what you asked for, even though you probably hoped nobody would critique your postings.
This also constitutes insights to the topic at hand, although I am not surprised you didn’t understand that concept.

You have stated why, but not justified why. In other words you have asserted an OPINION and made a positive claim about causality and not supported your claim. Again, refer to ED’s former major professor quote: “absent impressive corroborating evidence, the author’s opinion is not a matter of overwhelming interest.”
Unfortunately your interprestation of the real science you posted is complete bullshit, and much of the “science” you’ve posted from white supremacist “race realists” is complete shit.

I don’t believe anyone here is insisting this. It is perfectly normal for people to feel a preference for one thing and not for something else. We as humans gravitate towards people we feel share our opinions, life experiences, and/or problems in the world–it is a natural instinct to search for community. I certainly would not say this should be abolished–after all, I don’t particularly care for the majority of hip-hop music or style, so why would I force myself to go to hip hop clubs to be “inclusive”?
I wouldn’t. However, I don’t believe that is what is at issue here. I think fury summed up the argument nicely in general terms.

Ha, I already know I’ve convinced you to move your opinion. You started with ad hominem’s and ending with:
This is the extent of his capabilities. He’s incapable of putting forth an argument.

Heritability of the big 5 personality traits:
Extraversion 0.54
Agreeableness (aggression) .42
Conscientiousness .49
Neuroticism .48
Openness .57
Assuming the facts you have presented are accurate, you presented a series of correlations, but are expecting the rest of us to accept them as causal.
I justify my world view on the basis of the lack of compelling evidence to the contrary. That’s the way science works–until evidence surfaces that convincingly discredits the null hypothesis (ie, that there is no effect of a given variable), the null hypothesis stands.
I do remember. I just don’t remember any of it being particularly compelling.

I wonder if @ActivitiesGuy in his limited usefulness will chime in here? Probably not.
I couldn’t find a stat on black athletes but I just found a picture of the national soccer teams of Canada, England and France. Notice any patterns?
Not sure how those traits earned the right to be called ‘The Big 5.’ But setting that aside, what is your point? If you are trying to convince us that genetics plays a role in determining personality, intelligence, etc, I don’t think anyone here would take issue with you. OTOH, if you have a point to make that extends beyond this assertion, please state it explicitly.
