Uhhhhh ... didn't you just SUPPORT Dr. Watson's statement? What you just posted said there's a non-test related differential in intelligence between blacks and whites, but that it's not explainable: > The differential between the mean intelligence test scores of Blacks and > Whites (about one standard deviation does not result from any obvious biases > in test construction and administration, nor does it simply reflect > differences in socio-economic status. Let's review Dr. Watson's statement: "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really." Your post says that the testing does indeed show that "Blacks [score] one standard deviation [lower]", but that "At present, no one knows what causes this differential" DISCLAIMER: I neither endorse nor support any statements by Dr. Watson nor Larry, nor Larry's citation; I am simply summarizing them for the reader. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245632 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
