    The history of claiming Black people have lower intelligence is rooted in 19th-century scientific racism and eugenics. Proponents used flawed skull measurements, early and culturally biased IQ tests, and political agendas to justify slavery, segregation, and unequal social policies. Modern science rejects these claims, showing that test score gaps stem from environmental, economic, and educational factors rather than genetics.

    Carbon Monoxides post was racist and anti immigrant.

    Of course Furrow and company come to Carbon Monoxide's defense.

    Anything the anti science CO posts cannot be taken as science because no scientists would have a map that purposely disparages large groups of africans.

    The map is anti immigrant racists propaganda.

          Long time Liberal Ag Minister Eugene Whelan said during the 1984 campaign African had lower IQ because they don’t wear hats!
          He went on the say A man should always wear hats in the summer because the sun bakes your brain.
          Being pressed on this comment he maintained his position saying the main reason for the lower IQ was due to sun exposure and malnutrition!

              I'm old enough to remember when the emperor has no clothes was a work of fiction.

                I just googled world IQ map, not looking really smart in Africa, I’ll make a guess, lower protein diet, lack of early years education and lots of incest…. I didn’t google what race was low in IQ, I don’t really care.

                  I was under the impression that IQ was more correlated with political persuasion and any other factor.

                  How else would you explain people voting for Trudeau over and over again?

                    Yup there are several posters on Agrisilly who are anti immigrant and racist who will try to recycle old disproven propaganda and use fear mongering.

                    Recycling claims that Africans have lower intelligence is blatant racism from another era.

                      Saw this quote by Christopher Hitchens. Reminded me of Agriville's resident queen of being offended.

                      “Those who are determined to be ‘offended’ will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt.”
