I feel that in most instances the paler skin of those of black African descent is a consequence of them interbreeding with whites thus endowing their off spring with superior brain ability as well as a lighter skin. So, the answer is indeed, ''absolutely''.
From a biological or anthropological point of view, this is an absurd question. The amount of melanin in one's epidermal layer has noting to do with the cognitive powers or their brain function.
In layman's terms: skin color has nothing to do with intelligence. If it did, then albinos would all be geniuses.
When was the last time ya met an albino genius? LOL. How many are in MENSA?
If your misguided assertion were true it would belie the stark facts. Try to set your academic drivel to the one side for the moment and consider the following objectively, if you are capable of doing that. White people have made almost every invention/discovery which has contributed to the advancement and welfare of mankind. These include the computer you're using, the internet, the language by which your gobbledygook is expressed, the internal combustion engine, the diesel engine, the automobile, commercial vehicles, ( by which the west delivers the food and supplies to the ''begging bowls'' of the black Africans because they haven't figured out after countless centuries that crops don't grow in the sandy deserts of the world, the jet engine, the aeroplane, the helicopter, space going rockets, space exploration, television, radio, radar, X-ray, visual aids, i.e, binoculars/telescope, spectacles, ocean going liners, the submarine, the petro-chemical industry, i.e, energy fuels and plastics, electricity, the light bulb, laser technology, high yield farming techniques, modern building techniques and materials, penicillin, almost all of the world's full range of life saving and pain relieving drugs, ( for which the dumb black African nations rely on to help stem their illnesses), the ball pen, the fountain pen, modern food processing procedures. The extent of the white man's ingenuity is boundless. Where are the Black man's major, job/wealth creating corporations? where are the black man's international banks and financial institutions? Where are those blacks with the executive abilities to form cohesive governments which can provide all the social requirements, such as medical care, social housing, education, vocational training, defense and so forth? Certainly not in Africa, and certainly not in the black run city council of Detroit. All your pretentious use of ''big words', straight from your handy thesauruses along with quotes from the internet,cannot twist or alter the glaring truth, which is, the plain facts graphically illustrate that blacks are of a sub-order whose brain development ceased to evolve many centuries ago. To summarize, blacks suffer from an arrested intellect, laziness, a congenital aversion to disciplined formal education, a lack of ingenuity and enterprise, with a bubbling enthusiasm for violent crime and insurrection. The worrying part? They infest the west in their whinging millions and blame their ''condition'' on 'the big bad white man''.
You are obviously badly wanting in any knowledge of biology or cultural anthropology whatsoever. I also 're a deluded idiot and a bigot.
Listen and learn. The only reason most of the significant scientific discoveries and inventions throughout history were provided by those of Caucasian persuasion is because they had the means and opportunity. Much of this was provided to them by not sheer intelligence, but rather, geography. Since they had access to minerals and ores fro irons and steel and other metals so as to forge weapons and machinery. Thus providing them industry and military might with which to supress other poorer nations.
Again, blacks are blacks because of additional spin pigment. Last I checked, the epidermis has nothing to do with the central nervous system or the brain. Also, IQ tests in this country have been culturally biased in favor of middle class whites for decades. Ever since the traditional Stanford-Binet test was used as the primary yardstick back in the 1960s.
To me, as well as many other academics and those in the psychology field, intelligence is most accurately measured not by simply how well you can memorize answers to questions on a test, but rather, the ability to learn new tasks quickly and then perform them with a degree if efficiency.
IN this regard, Caucasians have no significant advantage of any other race. This has been tested many times.
Lastly, hate to break it to you, but the whole idea of race is a myth anyway. As we are all of ONE race and ALL share a common ancestor. Any difference in physiological aspects or brains or culture or skin and hair color has ben the result of the culture's specific history and practices and most important, geographical place of origin and progression.
I sometimes use the term "race" as a convenient and widely recognized descriptor for different ethnicity. But....it IS a fallacious term when using strict biological and anthropological statements. 95% of ALL professional scientists in the areas of Bio and Anthro know this. If you doubt me, do some checking and look it up.
Meanwhile, I offer you to learn something and read this. Let me know if you have any questions on this topic and I will be glad to help.
Your sanctimonious drivel doesn't invalidate any of the facts I have catalogued for the do-gooder's club of which you must be the chairman. You see, what I am doing here, and on other posts is to wind up you bunch of bleeding heart dummies. How you holier-than thou naive children love to champion the cause of those whom you perceive as the under dogs and wallow in the smugness of your own self-righteousness whilst bellowing your feigned outrage and indignation at someone who appears to think differently to you. Hey, look at me, ain't I one of those broad minded good guys who spreads love and harmony throughout the world, man, man oh man, how sick can people become? I don't think blacks are any better or any worse than anyone else, but it gives me satisfaction to note how life's non achievers jump at the opportunity to sound off and clamber up to what they perceive as the moral high ground. Like naive little children trying to endear themselves to teacher, 'what a good boy am I''. Very good Johnny, come up and get your apple from my desk. Wowee, how eye-watering and embarrassingly pathetic you lot are. But, on the other side of the coin, if it weren't for dumb weirdos like you, how would I get a laugh? Keep it up, it's genuinely hilarious and tremendously entertaining.''Roars of laughter from the back stalls''.
Wow.....you just proved yet again how ignorant you are, both of any sort of natural science, and of me, personally. Me a bleeding heart? That is pretty funny. Most of the criticism I get here calls me the opposite. An atheist and right wing bigiot. Shows how you new meat guys need to ncloise your pie holes and open your eyes and read my past posts a bit closer. I'm a combat vet and a former collegiate hockey player. As macho as you want. Just because I hate to see animals killed for sport you call me a bleeding heart liberal. Someone once said that a sure sign of ignorance is contempt prior to investigation. Thanks for proving that maxim to be true!
You don't have to test them all. Judge them by their past and present achievements and their ability to compete and succeed in the modern world. The results of this form of assessment will be vividly self explanatory.
The debate topic is literally about whether skin tone is directly related to intellect, how the fuck do you expect the "race card" to not be played here.
Do you go to soccer games and loudly shriek "OHHHHHHH LOOK AT THAT, PLAYING THE "KICK THE BALL" CARD, WHAT A FUCKIN OVERUSED TACTIC, THIS IS BULLSHIT I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK"?
Your username implies you're for logic, but you literally do not follow logical reasoning behind that conclusion. I'm curious to know what went so wrong in your life, was it head trauma? It was head trauma, wasn't it?
I observed that I am of a darker skin pigment than another black, a black which possesses less intelligence than me. So it's logical to conclude that light skins are not always smarter than darker skins.
Clearly, it's you who has the head trauma if you can't follow that simple line of reasoning.
You're just mad because I've beaten you every time. x3.
Personal experience != immutable fact, especially when there are so many variables to consider.
For example, I've met exactly one Jim in my life, and he offered to suck me off for twenty dollars (interesting fellow). I can't fairly conclude that all Jims do this, because that's retarded.
"Well. The fact that I'm more intelligent than all of the lighter skinned blacks that I know, is proof enough for me."
I'm taking issue with you saying "is proof enough for me". You can't claim you're all ab out logic, then use personal experience to justify an opinion.
Not when the topic is something as complex as "are skin tone and intellect directly linked". Personal experience works for things like "does touching a very hot thing hurt my hand", because they're simple; not much research necessary. Intellect across broad arbitrary categories of humanity is huge, so personal experience isn't worth shit.
When I say "personal experience", I mean "things you experience through sheer virtue of living, without having performed objective research". So, the basis of your opinion is "People I've met", which falls under the "experienced through being alive" category. That's not research, so it isn't enough evidence to support any meaningful conclusion on such a big topic.
Your research, did it include a double-blind study? How large was the sample population? Has the paper you wrote on it been published, or is it still being peer-reviewed?
Your "research" is personal experience. Not enough data to reach a meaningful conclusion on a topic like this.
?? I only need to research on one person to substantiate that light skins aren't inherently smarter than darker skins. I only need to have one example to show that there isn't consistency.
Wait okay I wanna clarify something here; I agree with you that light skin people aren't inherently smarter than darker skinned people. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.
What I'm taking issue with is that your conclusion was reached unfairly. You don't base something like that on personal experience. You can base it on the absence of any reasonable and supported arguments to support the notion, but you can't logically just say "Well I haven't seen that, so no".
I find it humorous that a brain dead racist who gets his dates vat family reunions like you has the sack to put a peace sign on his avatar. What? All the swastikas were already taken?
Some PEOPLE are smarter than others. I'm white, there are whites smarter than me, there are those dumber than me, and a trip to the tanning booth doesn't move them either way.
There are many "blacks" smarter than you OR I Some are VERY black, Some are barely "black".
Do we really need this ridiculous argument? Do we have to keep stirring the racial pot?!?!
