African IQ doesn't fluctuate significantly relative to environment and upbringing.

Really?

What about yours, as a South African in Cyprus?

I think it's obvious.

So Cap is one of the "bruthers".

Another puzzle has been completed...

Racism at the Olympics?

Asians and whites blatantly always underrepresented in the sprints.
Some form of affirmative action is required to balance the books and overcome the historical injustice.

After all, we're ALL equal regardless of color.
Only one conclusion can be derived and that is racism ladies and gentlemen.

I think you be racist Cap, they are just in a hurry to get to the dinner table.

In fact there has never been an African 100m winner which illustrates what a nonsense these identities are. In fact the whole "Black/White" dichotomy is a "White" invention adopted by "Blacks" in reaction. We are neither "White" not "Black", we don't need to pursue "White" guilt/superiority complexes and we don't need to pursue "Black" reactionaryism. Stand on the side of justice and true diversity.

Cap, you are being blinded by the "Whites". There are real genetic differences between people regardless of "race" which has a political definition. My initial response was to be blinded by the so called evidence too, which is why I only offered philosophical and procedural arguments. In fact the most damning refutation of the so called "race realists" is that there data sets are inaccurate and/or not representative. For example, the claim that "Blacks" have more testosterone than "Whites" is contradicted here: http://racehist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/no-evidence-for-higher-testosterone-in.html. Brain size and penis size measurements are equally suspect. There is variation, but it does not fit neatly into "racial" characteristics. As for IQ, the nature-nurture debate has not been settled. Did you know that Gauss, probably the greatest mathematician who ever lived, had a very small brain. When analysed they discovered that he had more folding in his brain than normal. So small brains do not necessarily translate into lower intelligence. "Race" is a political identity invented by those who designated themselves "White" and re-invented by those who were designated "non-White" in reaction. It is conceivable, though unlikely, that there are some correlations between "race" and other genetic factors. That is why I did not dismiss your video out of hand. But when you start to look at the real evidence impartially, the so called science quickly evaporates.

I always wonder about people that say all humans are equal.

I always saw it as baloney myself, because if we are equal, then surely whites would excell at Sports just as much as Blacks, particularly in Athletics.

Doesn't make any sense.

The truth is that each and everyone of us is unique and in that way we are equal. Don't be fooled by the eye and learn some real genetics. It is a fact that all 100m winners have something genetically in common. It is not a fact that all "Blacks" are 100m winners.

I don't buy the equality thesis one bit.

Tell me which whites have ever won the 100m sprint in modern times. None?

Paphitis, you are not listening. There are genetic differences between all of us. None of us are genetically equal. This is the fact. How many people under five foot have one the 100m in modern times? Why do they not make a "race"? Most "Black" people have not won the 100m ever. Thus there is no correlation between having high melanin count in the skin and winning the 100m although there is a correlation between winning the 100m and having high melanin count in the skin. This is conditional probability. Given that someone has won the 100m what is the probability that they have black skin. Very high. Given that someone has black skin, what is the probability that they have won the 100m. Very low, in fact about the same as the probability that a "White" person has won the 100m. Given the asymmetry in conditional probabilities, it does not make sense to think of it as "racial". You are right, there is no equality, but it is genetic inequality, not "racial" inequality.
