Does “Bell Curve” book say Whites are superior?
OK, I have not read that book in its entirety (written about 1994). It is about how IQ tests indicate (I think it was IQ tests... some kind of test or another) that whites are “smarter” than blacks, & Asians are “smarter” than whites (score higher on said tests)
But should a person conclude that since some IQ (or IQ-like) test shows one race consistently scores higher over another... that proves that that race is superior?
I guess if you value having a high IQ your answer might be Yes.
But, for one thing, you have to look at how IQ is measured. You have to know such things as: Who wrote/invented the IQ test given? What criteria did he/she use? How subjective or objective-minded is that person or persons?
I haven't studied all that. I wonder if anyone has? But in any case, here is a point concerning something I do know:
people with high IQs are NOT superior to those with low IQs, at least not in the eyes of God.
Hopefully, people still care what He thinks? I wonder sometimes..
If you think certain people are superior to others, well, you are an elitist, and obviously, the nαzιs had the same way of thinking, that certain people were inherently inferior based on their (the nαzιs') criteria, a dangerous pathway to go down, 2 say the least..
And our society HAS gone down that pathway, :scared2: probably always has. You know how it goes: The rich & middle-class are always seen as better than the poor, the chronically homeless being all but worthless—ignore-worthy... The opinions of the wealthy and prestigious among us are seen as far more valuable than those of the lower-class, etc, which of course are not worthy of consideration at all.. Those already-born are “more human,” more worthy than those who live in the womb (well, at least the homeless can feel superior to someone...).
So the guy on the news last night who accused this said author of saying that whites are superior to blacks is likely being very dishonest. I only say “likely” b/c, again, I haven't read the whole book. For all I know, the book does postulate what that guest accuses it of, but I doubt it. The author was on some talk show years ago and did not come across as a racist, just a scientist who has studied data (aka: facts)—go figure... But the Left do not acknowledge cold, hard science if it interferes with their agenda. Look at the climate change (being caused by humans) issue, a prime example.
And then they have the nerve to laugh at people who “blindly” follow Jesus. Please!

White supremacists are not Catholic

With fallen human nature, It is natural for
the strong to exploit the weak
the bold to exploit the timid
men to exploit women
the clever to exploit the less clever
etc.
Only the Catholic Faith can help us all live in harmony and avoid some of the sufferings that would be present in a truly "dog eat dog" world.
When the Catholic Faith is rejected, you get exactly that: the law of the jungle. And then heaven help you if you are not a physically/mentally/emotionally strong, intellectually superior, healthy adult male!
Obviously God loves all men, and doesn't want 85% of us to have to suffer that kind of tyranny, which is why He gave us the Catholic Faith.
But, that having been said, no one loves inequality (on Earth) more than God. Everything God creates has an unlimited level of hierarchy and variety.
P.S. Just as we Catholics shouldn't be envious of the superior spiritual gifts received by various Saints, the same goes for the natural order: those with a 100 IQ shouldn't be envious or jealous of the mental faculties given to, say, Einstein or someone with a very high IQ.
We all have to have humility if we want to get to heaven. "become like a little child" and all that.
P.P.S. Life isn't all smooth sailing for those with high IQs. They are often misjudged, lonely, and have a hard time dealing with being so different from everyone else. Some of them almost consider it a curse. Long story short, there is ample room for suffering in any human life, regardless of IQ. The sufferings will just be different, that's all.

In my youth I was accepted into Mensa. Now I'm lucky if I can set the thermostat correctly. IQ means little. I would gladly trade 40 IQ points to have made wiser decisions, especially regarding my spiritual life. Odd how the more I lose, the happier and closer to Christ I become. IQ test scores make no one superior to anyone else, except possibly in regards to sinful Pride of Intellect, which is both insidious and spiritually deadly.

First off, the term "white supremacist " was invented by the Jews mainly to
divide people and degrade people whom happen to of European decent.
You never hear of "black supremacy" and "Mexican supremacy".
These same Jєωιѕн intellectuals sold us the falsehoods that only whites
can be racists. That white Americans have privileges despite all the
favoritism in law that put non whites in front for jobs and entrance to
Universities.
These Jєωιѕн Intellectuals cover up black on white crime in the media
they all owned. They praise black criminals in the attacks on the
police such as Black Lives Matter.
Why in a white neighborhood there is far less crime than experienced
in black and mexican neighborhood and the gang cultures that are
infested in these neighborhoods.
Liberals will blame white racism and never solve the crime and the
gang cultures that rules these neighborhoods.
More non white migrants and immigrants will just make the problems
worse until society becomes ungovernable.
The only answer that can be given that liberalism needs lots of crime
to flourish and a dangerous society keeps them in power.
