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!
