Johnson,
Do you at all understand the concept of discernment? Of nuance? Your posts indicate otherwise. Hell, you havent even indicated exactly who this black-- group is. Would someone who is 50% black be a member? How about 10%? How about 1%. Is a German born in Africa black-- if he says so? If I put on a bureaucratic form that I am black--, does that make me one? Russians are a mixture of scandanavians, slavs, mongolians, germanics. What race are they? The Spanish are a mixture of moorish, black, european. What race are they?
Johnson, youre being deliberately obtuse. You postulated that blacks should be treated as a group-- and I responded that this means you are ignoring the variety in that group in order to treat them as a homogeneous unit. Lazy thinking, at best. I used Dr. Tyson as an example. Your reply was that extraordinary intelligence is rarer among blacks that in some other groups. (Yeah, and whites appear to have extraordinary intelligence-- less than orientals). Do you have proof? Im sure he could tell you otherwise. After all, you are setting yourself up against him. By your standards, he should be a second class citizen. My point is that Id prefer him as a first class one and you as a second class one, based on intelligence. No, this wasnt an ad hominen attack, merely an example of how your logic fails. The core issue I keep pounding at you is that you keep dealing with blacks as a homogeneous unit when that isnt the case. That you dont grasp this indicates your reasoning skills have much to be desired.
Yet you continue with The lack of such innate ability would preclude ..--. You have not demonstrated this, so what follows is vapor.
Re my distress that such views exist--, see my 12:30 post.
No, I dont respond to the distribution problem-- because that is an artificial construct. Taking individual situations out of their context is not proving things.
Again, your entire point is that you postulate that groups-- can be judged. Yes. But not the groups you postulate. Per your logic, Jews have a higher intelligence than other nationalities. Therefore, they should be the rulers. Sorry, dont buy the entire premise, much less the particular argument. Or maybe you should change your ideas to argue hat you should be a second class citizen.
Nowhere do I preclude advancement of blacks based on their abilities.-- No, you dont. You merely attempt to create a strawman of black inferiority-- (aka, less abled--), then propose treating them as such.
