<p>ugh! i’m throwing the towel! Guys, that is the difference of being already in college! You learn to embrace diversity, and leave the small-mindedness behind. Happy New Year</p>
<p>I’m just wondering how exactly I’m small minded? I have no issue with diversity.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not sure where you’re getting your numbers from, but consider a few things. Firstly, you can only consider white Americans who grew up in poverty within the last 50-100 years (50 max if you consider the Civil Rights Movement to be roughly the time when blacks became fully equal with whites). Secondly, consider that there is already an unspoken stigma of sorts in place for blacks in academics. The general population doesn’t expect blacks to excel, and blacks think those succeeding in academics are “acting too white.” If you don’t think this affects their morale, you’re being far too naive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You believe that racial differences exist, and that they are a result of skin color. Or at least, that’s how you’re phrasing it.</p>
<p>Neo: I only ask to say what I’ve come here to say. After that, do what you want and I won’t try to stop you.
[the drones withdraw and resolve into a face]
Deus Ex Machina: Speak.
Neo: The program Smith has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city, as he spread through the matrix. You cannot stop him. But I can.
Deus Ex Machina: [shouting] WE DON’T NEED YOU! WE NEED NOTHING!
[the drones swarm around Neo again]
Neo: If that’s true, then I’ve made a mistake, and you should kill me now.
[the drones swarm… and draw back into the face again]
Deus Ex Machina: What do you want?
Neo: Peace.</p>
<p>Obviously it affects them I said on the page before that its a combination of factors but you can’t argue that the lower iq doesn’t present some problems. The fact that blacks think succeeding in academics makes them too white is a direct result of the fact that a lot of them can’t and they resent the ones that do.</p>
<p>To claim that racial differences don’t exist is absolutely ridiculous. Have you ever seen an NFL or NBA game? How many blacks are playing? how many asians are playing? Last time I checked there are a total of two asians in the NFL. You can’t argue that race has nothing to do with that. Statistically asians as a population are smaller than blacks.</p>
<p>^Have you heard of super slaves?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How did you come to that conclusion? Others would suggest that this is a result of their resentment of whites in general, and the fact that they may not want to associate, on any level, with what they see as the group that has repressed them. Now from my experience, not all blacks are like this. In fact, most blacks I know are not like this. But then again, I only know blacks who have grown up in environments similar to mine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Like I said before, the NBA used to be a game run by the Jews. People rationalized that their small frames and sneaky, devious minds allowed them better footwork and the ability to get past defenders. Height, testosterone, and general levels of strength and speed are environmental factors, not a racial ones. It just so happens that races are found in identical environments. They are not fit because they are black. They are not small because they have yellow skin. They are that way because that is how their environments molded their ancestors, and those genes were passed on.</p>
<p>What you’re doing is falling for confirmation bias.</p>
<p>Have you guys seen the movie Hoop Dreams???</p>
<p>I mean if only black are ‘supposely’ good at said sports, what about Drew Brees, Phyton Manning, Eli Manning, Etc? And what about the Jewish and Catholics kid that are good at basketball also?</p>
<p>^^ No one has said that in this thread…</p>
<p>^^Even in tennis and golf, proves that blacks can excel in that. Hockey is uncharted territory for some reason.</p>
<p>I didn’t say their skin color was what made them better athletes. there skin color is an identifying characteristic of their race. And if you’re going for that all of these are environmental factors being passed down wouldn’t average intelligence be the same thing. The environment is what created the racial differences which you say don’t exist.</p>
<p>^^HAHA Chris Rock</p>
<p>Black people don’t play hockey as often for the same reason they don’t swim. It is a lot more expensive and since 28% of black people are below the poverty line they can’t afford to do these sports. Also the majority of black people live in the south where hockey isn’t a big sport so they’re more likely to play basketball or football.</p>
<p>Black people don’t really play golf either though.</p>
<p>^ except for Tiger Woods</p>
<p>Tiger woods is a quarter black he’s 1/2 asian (thai and chinese)</p>
<p>Tiger woods is just barely black…</p>
<p>^No you’re not lol…</p>
<p>It’s a white white world?
I don’t mean to be offensive or anything, just frank</p>
