Battle of Titans:Charlie Bass vs Decimator featuring Eurocentrists

[Charlie Bass]

This remarkably readable book makes a case for revisiting the importance of IQ scores as measures of malleable intelligence. Through a rigorous, balanced examination of current research, social psychologist Richard Nisbett exposes flaws in the assertion that IQ is solely genetic; explores concepts of intelligence and achievement in U.S. society; and provides justification for effective interventions in schools, families, and cultural groups in order to increase intelligence. This book also provides a challenge for those of us teaching college freshmen who seem to be struggling with many of the expectations of academic culture: to consider ways that we can encourage students to increase their own intelligence and therefore ask them to share significant investment in realizing course outcomes. Nisbett’s last line provides a foundation for this consideration: “Believing that our intelligence is substantially under our control won’t make us smart by itself. But it’s a good start” (199).

IN this Appendix I review and dispute the evidence that the IQ gap between blacks and whites is substantially genetic in origin.

The Bass needs to tell some stories to kids.


Yesterday, you were a famous singer.

People around the world wanted to hear your voice. Concerts were sold out everywhere and you signed so many autographs that you thought your fingers would break, but the best thing about it was performing onstage. Well, that, and when JLo called. That was pretty cool, too.

Of course, Mom always said you had a good imagination.

Maybe tomorrow, you can be a famous basketball star or, if you find “What Color is My World?” by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Raymond Obstfeld, illustrated by Ben Boos and A.G. Ford, you can read a book by one.

Ella and Herbie were not impressed with their new home.

Mama said to give it a chance. The place had potential, though it was dirty and kinda creepy. Things would change, Mama said, when Mr. Mital arrived. He was a handyman they’d met at church, and he’d help fix things up.

No doubt about it, Mr. Mital was a nice man, and he could sense that the twins were less than thrilled about their new home. He heard them grumble and grump, but he knew that Herbie and Ella were missing something important: this new house had history, and more.

Mr. Mital was a crafty one, and as he began telling the twins about things around their home, he was also telling them about African-American inventors.

Take, for instance, light bulbs. Of course, the new house had them but without an African-American inventor’s work, Thomas Edison’s light bulb might not light. And while the twins knew about Edison, without the “Black Edison,” communication might be different, too.

Herbie and Ella loved their computers, but without Dr. Mark Dean, those devices might not be quite as useful. Movies and video games wouldn’t be the same without Dr. Valerie L. Thomas’s work, and race car driving changed because of James E. West. The way we eat, play, live and stay safe might all be different without African Americans.

So who was this mysterious Mr. Mital, who knew so much? Ella and Herbie couldn’t believe what they found out.

Got a kid with a variety of interests and a restless taste in reading? Then grab this book, because “What Color is My World” will fill a lot of slots.

Author Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a big proponent of “standing on the shoulders of giants,” and this book definitely reflects that. With his co-author Raymond Obstfeld, Abdul-Jabbar tells the story of inventors who learned from their predecessors — both black and white — and refined common, everyday things to make them more widely useable. In the process of this telling, the authors also mix in a little humor and trivia, a bit of mystery, and wonderful artwork by Ben Boos and A.G. Ford.

I liked the variety of this book, its interactive presentation, and the fact that imaginative children will find a lot to learn here. If your 7- to 11-year-old has a curious mind, in fact, then being without “What Color is My World?” will leave him blue.

A good IQ never hurts.
On the other hand, its not certain that a low IQ retard is restrained enough to peaceably live in a civilized society.
And of course, a society of sharp intellectuals is always interesting and variable.
Reatrds are predictable enough and ever moreso, they are boring.

[arcticwolf]

Sup dude?

Ain't it funny that they can't figure out who you are even though your style is so unmistakable? :D

If this floats your boat, have at it. There are a lot of suckers here.

Have fun!

It seems the Bass is taking his mission on this side seriously :scratch:

No he isn't, he's having a few laughs at dingbats who answer to his posts expense. He is an intelligent guy and well versed in genetics. He also happens to be very white. :laugh:

[Leliana]

Why was Charlie Bass banned, reallowed, banned and reallowed again? :rolleyes: He's of no value to the board and a clear troll. Please ban him forever!

[The Lawspeaker]

Entertainment value. It could be me but I am not entertained. Maybe he should just be ignored: he currently leads the forum in negative reputation. Maybe we should make him lead the forum in being ignored.

[Supreme American]

Multiple tests have shown the large heritability of IQ among other traits. Specifically tests into adopted twins have shown this. They even had other similar traits such as disposition, personal tastes, and even using the same vacation spot.

Anyone who disputes this has a very steep hill to climb, and citing one dissenter isn't going to cut it.

[The Lawspeaker]

Right. I am creating a group for him and adding him to my list. Who follows ?

The single most common mistake of white guys trolling like blacks is that they keep talking like white guys. :picard2:

A member of staff let him back in to attack those of us who reject multiculturalism. Anyway, I find him harmless, and the things said to him by others is kind of funny.

Me :thumbs

You know where to find it. ;)

If he's a white dude trolling, then it's best to ignore him.

Hey you bastard ! I have bought tons of cookies now and if I can't sell them on to willing customers it will ruin me. :D
