a question for tyrannical

[Animavore]

Animavore seems to want to troll this topic also, undoubtedly because he has nothing rational to add to the discussion. What a pity.

Pretty sure that's not trolling. Looks suspiciously like joking, to me!

Actually I'm going off my experience of KKK and Neo-Nazis as seen in documentaries. I just noticed they always seem to be the most marginalised people and not the most upstanding members of the groups they claim to be superior. I find it deeply ironic and even though, yes, it was a joke, the joke is one of the "it's funny 'cause it's true" kind.

I was talking about the fix on Bella's post and the joking with Charlou.

RiverF - you should stop by more often!

[Animavore]

Lulz!

I did not know that.

I thought RiverF was a guy

Why shouldn't he joke? The thread title is "a question for tyrannical". You haven't answered any questions properly. You don't get to complain about others.

Here's a question. Say that the evidence all finally comes in and it turns out that there is a genetic difference which causes a specific group to be "less intelligent" by some objective definition. What is likely to be the ramification? A mash shunning and forced exodus, or money to help them and complaints from racists about that help which in turn would still expose them to be bitter petty bigots, no?

Yes. In fact, Tyrannical said he would not answer the question in this thread, but would start a new thread in which to answer it. Why? Only Tyrannical knows. I wonder why he isn't posting all his commentary in his own thread.

I thought I would solicit questions first, and I wanted time to think about it. Then set up a new topic where we could all discuss the issue like rational human beings without school yard name calling.
Since I figure I owe you all some facts and scientific discourse, I ordered a book this morning. The "Testing of Negro Intelligence" which details all the psychological studies on the issue.

I didn't think this thread was doing such a bad job on that front, all things considered. And whatever is happening here is likely to follow you to your new thread. Just something to think about.

Lots of little things...

White children acting up in school = Maybe they're bored because they're too intelligent and need to be challenged. Maybe they have a different learning style and we could unlock their potential if we offered them some flexibility.

Black children acting up in school = Well, what do you expect? They're probably in over their heads and need to go back to the basics one more time. Also, they need more discipline to keep them out of trouble.

Just like the old late for work:

While person late for work = Well, life happens.
Black person late for work = Oh, they're running on CPT.

to say that the use of that term is some kind of marker of self-segregation is a way to deny the shit led anyone to think it might be necessary to begin with. It's some white people saying "We're just going to other you for a few generations and then when that is reflected in the language you use, we're going to accuse you of self-othering".

Hi tyrannical .. the window of interest has closed and I'm going with my usual stance, which Morgan Freeman so eloquently encapsulated, and Rum has iterated also ...Stop talking about it.
