Poll: Are blacks genetically inferior to whites in intelligence?

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

The reality is that if you look at a nation where the majority of black people are poor, yeah, they're going to do worse. But so do poor white folk.

Absolutely. White "trailer trash" comes to mind.

Well, given cultural biases can have a huge influence on the results of IQ tests, (and we don't exactly have any other especially objective ways of measuring such things)...

Uhh... No. Why would people even ask such a thing anyway unless they had horrible intentions?

I don't think the genetic differences between the 'races' really amount to much of anything to begin with. (we're all human. Stop being so petty and face the reality that there's almost nothing in it in the end)

It honestly doesn't even matter whether something like this has any truth to it whatsoever or not.
Nothing good can come from trying to prove it, and generally the people that feel the need to bring it up tend to have some kind of ulterior motive for doing so.

In short, some questions it just isn't worth knowing the truth, whatever it may be, because the answer is going to piss people off and cause endless arguments and fighting no matter what it actually is.

While this subject would no doubt make for a fascinating discussion, the OP isn't phrased in a manner that'd best facilitate that discussion. Instead, the thread is likely to go the way of flamebait. Since the OP seems relatively satisfied with the outcome of the thread thus far and the answers have been civil enough, I think it would be prudent to lock this thread while it's still that way - there are plenty of ways it can progress from here, few of them good.
