Its "funny" how you guys will dig out obscure and discredited work in a desperate attempt to reinforce your scientifically-inaccurate view of the concept of race. You only believe in "science" when it says what you want it to.
- For a quite some time I have wondered about how different we all are - and why some groups are more predisposed to violence than others - as I try to understand more - and read more - I realize that many others have been questioning and seeking the answers to the same question - so I continue to research - and look for more answers - and have come up with what could be construed as a possible hypothesis -
- What if most of the violence could explained by intelligent brain function, anatomy and chemistry?
- Sure we are all humans - and all part of the human race - but we do have our differences - some of us are smarter or stronger or darker or lighter than others - some of us resort to violence far sooner than others - have quicker tempers that lead to quicker and perhaps more deadly violence - some of us are more emphatic, more peaceful at heart and much less likely to resort to violence over trivialities or to be violent at all - What is certain - is that we are not all the same -
- What if the human brain, its functions, anatomy and chemistry differ enough from one ethnic group to another - that one is quicker to be aggressive than the other on average - and so more likely to be more violent - creating many casualties amongst the rest of society because of it? -
- What if some of us humans are more like Bonobo's (more peaceful, loving, caring and matriarchal) - and some of us are more like Chimpanzees (violent male dominated society) - both great apes are our closest relatives as a species - so their societal and behavioural traits must have been passed down to us - long ago -
- Could this explain the higher levels of violence in one group compared to another?
- If this were true - then what could we do to try and cope/deal with it?
*research 'Warrior Gene' -
- Also the size/weight of the brain is found to be different amongst ethnic groups - along with average intelligence -
''Millions of IQ tests and psychometric experiments conducted world-wide over 100 years have been normed for every conceivable variable and bias, yet demonstrate an intractable intelligence divide between Blacks and the other races. Blacks score lowest on every intelligence test ever devised, including “life”. There has never been an IQ test administered anywhere in the world where the racial rankings didn’t follow the same pattern; Asians, Whites, non-White Hispanics, and then finally Blacks.
Compared to Blacks, Whites’ brains:
• are 7% larger (1438cc versus 1343cc)
• are 100 grams heavier
• have deeper fissures in the frontal and occipital regions
• have more complex convolutions and larger frontal lobes
• have more pyramidal neurons
• have 16% thicker supra-granular layer
• react faster on mental chronometry tests
• have 600 million more neurons (each carries about 600 billion synapses, which each carry one bit of cortical information)
Genes contribute to about 90% of the individual variation of brain size.
Blacks are the only racial group with no DNA from the large-brained Neanderthals, and also the only race without the derived form of MCPH1 microcephalin called haplogroup D which produces increased brain volume. *this looks to be a crucial difference.
- Racial activist groups have tried to create their own tests to demonstrate intellectual parity of the races and also attack the integrity of the existing tests and have hired anti-bias experts, - but the rankings are always the same;
- African Blacks average a 70 IQ (only 2% of Whites score this low), but American Blacks average 85 due to mixing with Whites (24% on average), non-White Hispanics 87, Whites 100, Asians 106 and Ashkenazi Jews 115. Interestingly, mixed-race students in South Africa have an IQ of 85 — the same as Blacks in the United States, Britain, and the Caribbean. This is a standard deviation above pure Blacks, but also a standard deviation below Whites.
Blacks have by far the lowest IQs of any race; 80% score at or below the “low functioning” category. In fact, only the top 16% of Blacks score as high as the top 50% of Whites. Blacks are socially functional at 70 IQ because that is only one standard deviation below their mean; that equates to a White at 85 IQ.
* lower intelligence is inextricably linked to increased violence in society - combined with The Warrior Gene - could this be a reason why some groups are more likely to indulge in gratuitous/senseless violence?
Even using tests created by Black psychologists and non-verbal tests designed to be culture-free and unbiased, no amount of testing or wishful thinking shows any improvement in Black IQ.
- Tests that only require the subject to push buttons in response to flashing lights or memorizing sequences of colored squares projected on a screen Blacks perform worse than Whites, and the gap increases as the patterns become more complicated. The test involves rows of colored squares where one from each row has to be matched with another. More complex images which have distinctive features linked by that feature to other images in an increasing number of rows.''
*- Yes - I know this is going to be a difficult topic to handle - with certain entities, no doubt screaming the 'R' word as-per-usual - just for raising the topic - but it does need discussing - and there is quite a lot of scientific research and information about it already out there that we can draw upon - to try and find answers -
* much more here on the topic -

The amount of race realist, neo nazi and white supremacist propaganda that gets posted on this forum is kind of astounding.

Alt Hype is like climate denial for race realists.

Definitely a lot of Neo-Communist propaganda for sure. Haven't really seen white supremacy, when it comes to IQ the Asians win, it's why they kick our ass with Honda and Toyota.
some of that stuff about brain weight seems sligtly ridiculous to me
seen some pretty big skulls on both races. wouldn't size dictate brain size/weight? also there is surely no relation between size of brain and iq?
we shouldn't disscount facts, but we should be sure of them on such a touchy topic imo.
- De-bunk it then man - what is this about refuting something - without any real details - other than the usual claiming its propaganda from some neo-nazi? - calling something a bunch of names is easy -
- take it apart - and show us all where it is wrong/incorrect - or just plain lies -
- after all it is just a : Hypothesis
- supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation
- a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.
Dunno good buddy. There is plenty of evidence of folks having a normal cranium, that only contains a "pea" size brain, across the ENTIRE planet. Entire means, not racially related.some of that stuff about brain weight seems sligtly ridiculous to me

you want me to explain how race realism isn't scientific? i think the race realists do a fine job of debunking themselves.
Brains will only get you so far in life. I would rather have stronger bone density and easier to build muscle. So basically white people are weaker built? What about Mexican and Indian?
