[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charles Murray wrote a book about this 30 years ago.  Liberals freaked out because there was a section on race and IQ.[/quote]

You mean his junk science?

The fact that Trump got to become president being absolute garbage and stupid, while Obama had to literally be the FIRST black editor of HLR, says everything about why and how people achieve in America.

The GI Bill being another example. While white men got to benefit, the black men who served were not afforded the same opportunities to achieve the "American dream."

At every turn in American history, barriers have been put up to BLOCK achievement for those who were not white.[/quote]

Obama is proof that genetics matter. Obama  has 2 parents with doctorate degrees. A  mother who woke up him at 4am to read books, and a father who dreamed and was close to being president of his own  country Kenya. He obviously knew of his fathers dream and he adapted the same one.

Obama is a second gen legacy student at Harvard, and his grandma was VP of a bank. His Grandpa was a WW2 vet and  hit the big time as a furniture salesman and moved from KS to Hawaii.

Trump also has good genes in his family. His sister is a judge. His uncle was a physicist at MIT. Parents lived to their 90’s. Father was a successful entrepreneur. Trumps kids are all great too. For someone with 5 kids from three different women, they seem to be alright compared to other WH kids. I would hate to bring up the Bidens but[/quote]
Says genetics matter.

Describes wholly environmental factors.

It's Ok to sit out a discussion when you don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]

Environment only goes so far and someone with an extremely low polygenic score for IQ (-2SD) has a very low probability of successfully completing college or obtaining a professional job. Environment cannot make someone who has limited genetic potential a genius. [/quote]
