Time to review (again):
iceaura's claim is that
'White Racism' is 'affecting' Black People in the USA.
We
ALL AGREE that SOME white and black people are racist (see: iceaura for example) and that viewing the world through a race-lens may, in fact, affect SOME white and black people. Both positively (in the case of giving certain 'races' of Americans a race-based advantage by lowering the SAT score needed to attend University, while raising it for yellow people) as well as negatively, including not hiring someone because of their skin color - which happened quite often after racist democrats imposed 'minimum wage restrictions', which were enforced against blacks, creating the socialist government welfare ghettos of today.
Okay, good. We got that far.
Now, of course, iceaura goes beyond 'some' and starts making unfounded generalized claims about all white people and all black people - as groups. This is a different TYPE of argument. The first can be made through a deductive categorical syllogism. The later requires induction and analysis. This means *GASP* empiricism and *GASP* good repeatable controlled evidence.
Oh, and the best we can do is cogent strong. That's the best we can hope for.
One of these claims is in regards socioeconomic status. Here he claims that 'white racism' is affecting the socioeconomic status of all black people. However, he never provides any good evidence of this. He also doesn't control for IQ (nor black racism).
The empirical evidence/data show quite clearly, that once IQ is controlled for (as an example), that what really determines one's socioeconomic status is your IQ, not your 'race'. The effect is exacerbated and reinforced in our massive progressive government-school driven game of regulatory capture. Which greatly benefits high IQ people/rent-seekers, and is evidenced by high-IQ white Jews and high IQ yellow people being at the top of the socioeconomic pyramid.
Of course, being your typical progressive, iceaura doubles-down on race theory (look up Progressives and Eugenics, they have a sordid history, to say the least) and now makes a totally unfounded claim that 'white racism' is affected the IQ of black people in the USA.
That is insane. There's no good evidence that his is happening. NONE.
So, of course, he provides zero good evidence and ignores all data that show the contrary, that IQ is mostly biological, and is nearly impermeable to slight changes in environment, even parenting styles unaffect it (let alone magical 'white racism'). Not to mention, he ignores the contra-evidence that 'white racism' has had no effect on the IQ of white Jews (112) or yellow people (107) - both higher than white people (and yellow people make 20K more a year and dominate IQ, engineering, academics, and etc...). Millions of Jews were murdered just this last century (we don't need to go back TWO centuries, and yellow people were nuked!). Not only this, iceaura has no idea what the average IQ of black Americans is even supposed to be - it may be higher than it is, it may be lower than it is. Or it may be exactly what it is supposed to be.
Essentially, iceaura is a dying breed of progressive socialists' who'd policies for the last 100 years have pretty much destroyed western society. Culminating in trillions and trillions of dollars wasted on their idiotic social programs that have had no effect - other than to make low-IQ people, of any color/race, poorer now than before they started (relatively speaking). Well, they'll not stop here. They will never stop, until they have Dear Leader in office ushering in our very own Venezuelan Utopia. Complete with a side of Swedish socialistic rapy-meatballs.
Authoritarian Statism IS their religion.
No amount of peer-reviewed evidence will convince them - just like AGW and cigarette-causes-cancer. Progressive Socialists are Science Deniers, they'll always demand just that last study - you know, like controlling for the female womb. Maybe the 'womb' is racist
All while undermining the social foundation/culture (in our case, English and European) with their own unevidenced social-justice magical unicorn barf.
Summary: ALL the good evidence shows IQ is mostly biological (up to 85%) and that it correlates strongly with socioeconomic status - further, it's nearly immutable to the environment, even in lead-polluted China, nuclear fallout Hiroshima or even parenting styles. Science shows that IQ is mostly genetic. Thus, the solution is to give equal oppertunity to all people through free-markets (free-people); sound money; and common law that protects their property.
