Oh yeah...everyone knows SAT's are the end all and be all of human intelligence. What's the point of this thread again?

Note that I never mentioned intelligence in any of my posts.

I think what someone said about sample size might make sense...I went to a good private high school and I was one of two black people in my entire class and one of six in the entire high school. It just doesn't seem to make sense that my score plus the other guy's score should represent the "black score."

I think it might be interesting to look at the percentage of students who took those Kaplan courses to prepare them for their tests. Perhaps more white kids are prepared for these tests than black kids which puts them at a disadvantage...

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

You should read this thread completely before making such statements to support Dr. Watson's theory.

There is a lot of discussion in here as to why this seems to be the case, and in general the conclusions are not racist.

Anyways, here's the link to that article again.

lol i was just looking for that thread too.

i did read it completely when it was originally posted. while i agree they didnt DIRECTLY say what i said but it was quite obviously implied. remember. we live in a very racially sensitive US where just HINTING at being a racist you are deemed racist. therefore they basically made some sort of candy coated statement to try to deter this from happening.

You are still saying that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites. There is no evidence to support your statement and you are citing this thread as a proof, which in itself is debatable.
