The Dangers of White Supremacy Ideology in America

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the complexities of racial dynamics, particularly the perception of white individuals towards black individuals in America. It highlights the idea that while some white people may appear friendly, this demeanor does not equate to genuine respect for the black community, especially during times of societal stress. The conversation critiques the lack of counterarguments from white individuals against white supremacist rhetoric, suggesting a troubling consensus that could resurface during economic hardships. Additionally, it argues that acknowledging historical injustices is crucial for understanding current racial inequalities, and that ignoring these distinctions may perpetuate harmful stereotypes. The dialogue underscores the importance of addressing past and present racial dynamics to foster genuine understanding and equality.

Last I checked, SATs were not a reliable indicator of raw intelligence
The SAT has been considered reliable in measuring IQ.

"While the SAT is generally a good predictor of a student's performance in the first year of college, a new study from researchers at Case Western Reserve University finds that, more than anything else, the SAT is a measure of overall intelligence. Meredith C. Frey, a doctoral student in psychology, and Douglas K. Detterman, a professor of psychology, examined the relationship between SAT results and general cognitive ability in two studies. They believe the results of their study mean researchers can fairly accurately estimate a person's intelligence without administering a lengthy IQ test."

Whenever one comes across an attempt to argue "racial supremacy,"
It is not racial supremacy. Let's settle this once and for it. It's knowledging that evolution in different regions for thousands of years, gave different races SMALL genetical differences that will cause small differences from one characteristic, one ability to the next. It's science in it's purest form.

Certainly all cultures began as hunter/gatherers, but not all of them stayed that way as long as others did. Certainly predation in the Savannah is a bigger danger than predation in the Mediterranean -- the African continent is home to some of the fiercest predators on the planet.

How were whites able to come into the area and build if predation was such a problem? What resources did the europeans have that the Africans didn't that allowed them to become more advanced?

I'm not referring to raw materials like stone and wood -- I'm referring more to infrastructure. Resources build on resources... before you can build modern cities, you need to have modern building equipment. Before you can have modern building equipment, you must have modern fuels and engines. Before you can have those, you must have modern mining techniques, and so on. We all know that technology has been increasingly exponentially (I use the term loosely) in all of recorded history. It took thousands of years for mankind to reach the industrial revolution, and only a few hundred more to reach the space age. It seems very likely to me that any civilization that began with even a very small advantage in resources several thousand years ago would rapidly snowball into having an enormous advantage today.

Why havn't the tribes in Africa advanced exponentially like most of the world? Why are the majority of Africans still in tribal garb? What resources exactly are needed in your opinion for infrastructure? I am sure we can find out what resources are both plentiful and scarce in Africa.

I have no specifics to offer you at the moment, but will invest some time in some research if I am sorely in error. I have just gotten the impression from documentaries, etc. that African cultures involve many more rites and rituals and ceremonies. I even get the feeling they spend more time on grooming and maintaining body appearance. If you have any evidence to present that shows African cultures to have equal or less "overhead" to European cultures, I'd be happy to read it.

This would be a huge over-generalization for different tribes are very different. From television, I get the impression that all crime is commited by blacks.

LOL. Are you trying to state that a person with higher intelligence does not have a higher probability to be in higher SES? I think, I THINK a person with more intelligence will have more ample opportunities to have a job that would put him in higher SES. Does this article take this into consideration? From what I have read, the answer is no. So it's using a faulty approach to reach faulty conclusions. So I am right as always and you are again wrong.

If you want more proper methods in comparing SES, read "The Bell Curve" where they do weigh SES and show that it only closes the gap by a few points.

Why don't you provide some evidence for us to check out? I would be very interested in learning more on the topic, so please share your evidence.

The "Bell Curve" was written by known racists, and a long time ago, and has been debunked as such.

Like I said, find something current and legitimate (not funded by a racist organization) that has been conducted after the study I posted that shows that it is not academically accepted, or give up.

Evo said:
That study has been accepted. Find something that can legitimately refute it and we can discuss it.
"The Bell Curve" fully addresses this as they have anticipated people who will try this approach. That you cannot just weigh SES WITHOUT taking in the consideration that people will be in high SES BECAUSE of their high intelligence that people will be in low SES BECAUSE of their low intelligence. So it's already refuted before it can even get out of the gate.

You have used personal attacks toward me in that past. That is undeniable. I only ever retorted with personal attacks when confronted by it from you.

The Bell Curve is ancient and debunked.

Well, they obviously developed better building techniques, for one.

They have probably advanced a great deal over hominids 50,000 years ago. The European cultures just advanced a whole lot more.

Industry begets more industry. I can't point to a single item that gauranteed European success, but building techniques, mining techniques, agricultural techniques, energy sources, and so on are all required for modern civilization.

Can you provide evidence that the authors were "known racists". Wasn't one of them Jewish? Were they authors racist against Asians, blacks, etc? Oh, I get it, you can label them racist and suggest everything they did was wrong because they were "racist".

The co-author of "The Bell Curve" Richard Herrnstein was ethnically Jewish. Another race realist is Arthur Hu, an American-Asian who studies ethnic differences and he concluded that East Asians were more intelligent than Whites, on average.

Wrong but it seems to be the only attack you can use against it.

Wrong again. It has constantly been confirmed with newer publications such as "Race, Evolution, and Behavior"

Like I said, find something current and legitimate (not funded by a racist organization) that has been conducted after the study I posted that shows that it is not academically accepted, or give up.
Why would one have to find a newer source, when your source touches the "do not do this because it would be faulty" approach already stated by previous publications? Unless you can show that it did not do this, it is you that needs to give up.

I don't pretend to have the answers either, but I don't know how one can say intelligence does not play a role.

No matter who conducts the study. Whether it is by a White, Jewish, Asian. It ALWAYS follows this order in IQ level. Jews, Asians, Whites, Blacks. ALWAYS. It doesn't matter if a Jewish person does the study, or a White person, or an Asian person, the studies have always been consistent in that order.

I don't know why you continue to ask me questions upon questions, even when I've already explained that I have no formal education on this topic. I don't know if you think this is somehow "debunking" me, but I don't feel it is.

My basic assertion (resource availability, both physical and intellectual, enables civilization advancement) seems plausible enough; do you have any evidence that it cannot be at least partially true?

No, it never said "whites only", you made an error in assuming something that wasn't said. Again, don't try to discuss something that you know nothing about.

I have many questions on the topic and find it very interesting. I am just looking for answers myself. My goal is not to debunk your argument, but rather to learn.

What resources? What intellectual resources? I can get evidence once we define what these resources are and how they contribute to the advancement of the europeans.

Evo,

I am not saying you are wrong, but I would love to see some evidence. It seems to me that white fountains would be for white people. I will admit right now that I do not know much about history (I am actually taking a course next semester), but I would love to see your evidence.
 
  • #118
Here is Arthur Hu's website: http://www.arthurhu.com/ This Asian-American not only claims that East Asians are smarter than Whites, but that Whites are smarter than Africans. He has a variety of data on his site which he uses to back up his claims. Don't know how valid any of it is, but the info. is there for those that want to go over it.

Should Old 'Whites Only' Signs Be Displayed?[/color]

Posted March 14, 2003 -- Dallas County, Texas, commissioners decided this week to uncover "Whites only" signs above water fountains in the county records building and display them in the name of history, rather than remove them, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

'Whites Only' signs win reprieve[/color]

Fading "Whites Only" signs on water fountains at the county records building will be uncovered and marked with plaques explaining their historical significance, Dallas County commissioners decided Tuesday.

My guess is it was mostly chance, I mean one area of the world had to in all probability start flowering before others although the affects would spread outward, who is to say it was certainly due to anyone thing, it may have mostly been chance.
