People are almost more susceptible to simpler charts with race and IQ than they are to the really complicated stuff
Ironically enough, that’s because they’re stupid.
To me that seemed like a stupid, obvious statement. That’s like saying “people are more susceptible to catchy pop songs than they are academic research papers.”
Like…No shit.
Pretend scientist and child of apartheid pushes pretend race “science?” Shocking.
By the way, the video in the article is worth watching even if you don’t read the article.
It’s always odd to me how articles keep trying to come up with qualifying other words.
“Lies” becomes “misinformation”.
“Racism” becomes “specific kind of racism”.
Bullshit. They are lies and Elon is racist. Nothing else should matter. There are no graduated degrees of these words. It’s either a lie, or it isn’t. It’s either racist, or it isn’t.
Plainly stated: Elon is a racist lying sack of shit. Period.
So I was very curious about where all this narrative stemmed from as I kept seeing far right posts comparing IQ and different races.
Saw this video by Shawn (2 hour+ long) and he broke it down very well.
Basically, it’s just bad studies where they test both segregated white schools and also black schools (which were under funded and had average lower income levels for parents), then use the result as the smoking gun.
It essentially comes down to:
Having a head start in life passes down the generation, so high income groups (and races over represented there) will always have a higher average IQ cause by the nature of IQ tests being just academic tests.
Rich White Man chauvinism.
Rich white guys should be in charge isn’t exactly new or unusual as far a racism goes.
I’m very interested in seeing his EQ test.
I’m very interested in seeing him tarred and feathered.
