Keith thanks for the long and thoughtful response.
But we are talking averages. I have realized that, in my town, many of the Blacks don't know how to read and that many of them read poorly. If my wife and I had raised their kids from babyhood to eighteen their kids would have scored higher on IQ tests, SAT tests, and 8th grade standardized tests, than they would had their birth parents raised them. And they would have been more intelligent in mechanical aptitude and other "non academic tests"..
Had those same illiterate blacks raised my son from babyhood to eighteen he would have scored lower and been less intelligent and less mechanically able.
So culture has an effect on intelligence.
In respect to the gap between Blacks' average intelligence and Whites' average intelligence, culture matters.
To know that the cause of that gap was genetic a researcher would have to have a large control group of Black babies, raise them in average black households, and then compare them to large control group of Black Babies raised by excellent parents.
I am glad to be here.

Mike, sometimes we just gotta lighten the mood down here in Misfires, even when we are discussing important matters.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

jOe, based on your present liberal trajectory I predict you will vote for Bernie Sanders in the Dem's primary next year and then for Hillary in the general election.
Based on the continuing erosion of your conservative credentials I predict you will be seen on CNN at the next "Hands up! Don't shoot!" demonstrations.
You may well go from being a liberal socialist to an outright communist. Lord knows how low the degenerate path you are on is going to take you.
Based on your liberal view on abortion I predict in a year you will join the "Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence".
Stop while there is still time!

You really think you have a chance in hell of convincing me of any of your liberal bull crap ? Ever since Ed tOrched your brain and you went on your 'seek and destroy Ed Good mission' you just haven't been the same bud. Am I your next target of internet insanity ? (I sure dew hope so ).

Yep jOe, you're going over to the dark side.
I bet by August of next year you will be driving a Prius with hundreds of "Hillary for President" bumper stickers plastered all over it.

Laughed out loud.
Besides, Misfires is the Designated Troll Feeding Zone.
