    Speaking of namecalling. I was pointing out her hypocrisy and it worked. She didn't provide a source for her claim, so therefore it's not actually on me to prove or disprove anything. Why do you think that onus was on me? It's easy enough to provide racial IQ data and I'd have been happy to had she asked, but she knew better than to touch that hot potato.

    I wouldn't call myself a lefty or anything for that matter but this I can relate to

    This is extremely rare, unfortunately. When I was a leftist after having been a liberal for a long time, I never in all those years encountered anything about the ethnic and cultural preservation of European-derived peoples. Anything of the sort was always mentioned in the scary context of KKK-hooded David Duke or some other similar, outdated dinosaur knuckle dragger.

    Not ONCE in all those years did I hear one peep of positivity about our people or our heritage. To hear any of that, you have to jump fence to the political right.

    Personally, I'm beyond tired of being told that us preserving our heritage and unique background is racist while we're also told that we have to respect the culture and heritage of "natives" off in some undeveloped country.
    No I don't. But when I see posts like this:

    But they have done research on this:

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/low-iq-cons...180403506.html

    Your claim about black people is true statistically but there are reasons for that.

    But you have to watch out. In the case of the bigots it doesn't mean that they genetically prone to have a lower IQ simply that there is correlation between bigotry and low education. Which I agree, stereotypes like red necks didn't appear out of no where.

    In the case of black people, there are many socio-economical reasons for this. But I'm not going to get into that debate now.

    How about an anecdotal example?

    I hold views, which could be considered bigoted.

    The last time (about a year ago) that I took an IQ test (just for giggles, I wanted to see if I was MENSA material) the score was 142 on the Weschler scale.

    I know that people are not mathematic laws, where proving an exception negates it as absolute. However, I think I show that stereotypes are accurate, except when applied to individuals.

    I will also admit that for many years my AQ (ambition quotient) was in the near moron range.

    I consider that word basically worthless, the definition fits anyone --


    bigot [ˈbɪgət]
    n
    a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race

    I find it interesting that you made this post. You defend the claim that bigots tend to have low IQs by giving yourself as an example. Basically you are saying that not all bigots have low IQs, which is true. Because these statistics follow a bell curve.

    What I'm curious is why don't people here use this same thought process when statistics such as how black people have low IQs are thrown around.

    You became right-wing because most of the "pro-preservation" people were? You never considered sticking to the left and combining it with pro-preservation ideas, thereby going your own way?

    I can say I'm a politically moderate/centrist person, and I hold some left-wing ideas and some right-wing ideas. I chose to go my own path, and frankly I don't understand this bashing of "libruls" and left-wing people, given that I have some fairly left-wing beliefs myself, and I know conservatives in this country also support immigration. Our most pro-immigration party is the centrist-right Liberal Party, not our most let-wing party.
