I always have found it amusing how libs are big on evolution yet are clueless on how it works, They think everyone on the planet is equal, except that's not how evolution works. Big difference living in a harsh environment trying to survive vs a environment where you can run around naked and pick your food off a tree, the survival of the fittest seems to elude libs when it comes to human. Any dumb fukk can pass along their genes in that environment vs harsh environments, where only the smarter, innovative, work driven members can.

The "Flynne Effect" has been disqualified? cambridge.org I feel you missed my point. The editorial you quoted said the Flynne Effect could not be used to make a statistically valid reason for the difference in white-black average IQ's. It is not disqualified as an observed phenomena. i.e increases in average IQ over time due to unknown or environmental factors. The interaction effect of a repetitive negative attitude to a childs education overwhelms any other factors in my considered view as a parent. Let me be plain upon that point. Looking at the other side of the coin, would you propose that state and federal educational funds be redirected based on these studies in average IQ vs Race? I myself would not be happy to see my children disadvantaged at school because of some study that determined "they were not so good" for some supposed reason or another. For example if funds were directed more towards children of tea drinkers rather then coffee drinkers, no matter how valid the statistics.
