    I had a really mean grammar teacher who physically abused me.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

In my industry, I have seen white people succeed and fail, and I have seen black people succeed and fail, and nothing will convince me that it has anything to do with the color of their skin.
      I think that is the real point of the OP. It is not so much race as culture. I do not know directly anything about the culture in "inner city" black or white neighbor hood. Are poor white neighborhoods any different in terms of culture? Or is it purely the encouragement of post slavery victim mentality by liberals?

        Actually, that's only a Latin grammar rule applied to English.

What is in question here is culture not IQ.
            At one point the person with the highest IQ in Guinness Staying there until the score was retired with a test score of between 186 to 228 is Marylin vos Savant. She's still considered to be potentially the highest. Men are not higher than women IQ wise. Men and women think very differently and test very differently in typical spatial IQ tests. In common standard IQ tests now, Tests are actually the same with Men scoring higher Spatially and Women scoring higher Verbally though cross variations have been found.

              I very much agree that all the things I listed are simply artifices of statistics. They do not reflect anything real. I hope you did not get me wrong on that.
