Good boy, dindu nuttin.
BIRMINGHAM, AL (WIAT)–The Birmingham Police are investigating a homicide that occurred Wednesday morning in the 2300 block of 33rd Avenue North.
Early Wednesday morning, Birmingham Police officers responded to the location on a report of a person on fire. Arriving officers found the victim, described as an 85-year-old white male, lying on the ground in the backyard. His body was severely burned. He was pronounced dead on the scene by Birmingham Fire and Rescue.
The victim was identified as Gene Emory Dacus.
Witnesses on the scene reported seeing a fire in the backyard and also reported seeing a black male running down the alley with a red gas jug. The witnesses also followed the suspect and notified the police of his location. The suspect was located a short distance away and taken into custody.
Preliminary investigation revealed there was an encounter between the suspect and the victim at the location. The victim was later doused with gasoline and set on fire.
“This homicide shocks the conscience of any reasonable person. Our hearts are hurting for the victim, his family and our community. The suspect actually confessed to this crime but we have not received any logical justification to explain what happened,” says Chief Roper.

Terrible thing, no matter the skin colour of the suspect.... :-*

I bet violent crime by blacks would drop by at least half if these thugs actually grew up with a father figure present. But as long as you have babies making babies, with no father present, it's going to be more of the same.

Why didn't the print the name of the "suspect"?

No it wouldn't. There is nothing magical about a "father figure". Their culture to start with is the problem. "Father Figure" is just another excuse of many.

Drug abuse, poverty, being involved in violent crime, dropping out of school, health and emotional problems, all increase 4 times in mother-only families. It's not just a black thing, although it is very prominent with blacks obviously, as at last two thirds grow up without a father.

What makes you think they would even make good fathers with their present culture? ???

I read a longer article about this in the morning. It might of been over something as trivial as a stolen car. The victim had both his cars stolen recently, with the latest one just last week. One theory is that the old man maybe asked him about it, got knocked out or killed, then set on fire to cover it up :(.
This happened just a few weeks ago too, to another elderly person - www.fox25boston.com/news/elderly-woman-beaten-set-on-fire-during-robbery/421204751 .

You know what they say. Once you go black....... you end up a single mom. :D

I assume the elder grew up in a nice community but it degraded with time yet still stayed there. Very sad.
They should have just shot they guy on sight but I guess we all deserve our day in court. Still, few black men outside of those with a massive bank account (how many have those -- OJ) receive less than swift justice. He'll be taken care of quickly.

Blacks have a considerably less evolved brain. Fact. It's been scientifically proven. Of course, to publicize such information would be blasphemous in today's PC world.
As well, the constant that rap culture has become is extremely toxic to the developing lo-fi brains of dindus. Hip hop culture has helped devolve negro social advancements in a profound way.

Bingo. The evidence is overwhelming--children fare worse when growing up in a 1-parent household (in any household). However, interestingly enough, its better to grow up in a loving 1-parent household than it is to grow up in a hostile 2-parent household. As such, just because two parents are present, it does not automatically mean the child would be at an advantage. A large part of a healthy household will be determined by the quality of the mother-father relationship, mother-child relationship, and father-child relationship (as well as the sibling systems). Salvador Minuchin broke down families into three subsystems: spousal subsystem, parent-child subsystem, and sibling subsystem. From a more eco-systemic framework, involvement of grandparents and, perhaps to a more limited extent, aunts and uncles, will also influence family dynamics--in certain cultures, grandparents may assume head of the household.
Thus, two questions come to my mind: (1) How can we keep fathers in the picture, and (2) When they are in the picture, how can we ensure that they are engaging in a diverse set of parenting activities. There is a term called "Disney Land Dad." These dads will engage in the exciting part of parenting--taking children to ball games and amusement parks; however, they may be largely absent when it comes to the more disciplinary actions, school expectations, etc.

Can you provide the evidence from peer-reviewed journals (since you are making the claim)? I am curious.
One thing that you're failing to consider is the aspect of "Cultural Neuroscience." There is clear evidence that culture impacts the structure and functioning of brain development. We have observed differences in the brains of children from the USA vs. Japan vs. Europe, etc. Black people may not be born with a less evolved brain, but may experience brain deficits due to certain aspects of culture, i.e., growing up in a culture of trauma, poor malnutrition, and poor education, is going to have an affect on the structure and functioning of the brain. There is overwhelming evidence that early childhood trauma affects brain development. But this also occurs in white children who grow up with poor nutrition, poor education, and trauma.
There is a huge distinction between being born with a less developed brain and having a less developed brain due to environmental circumstances.

I agree with the exception that parent-less children are not limited to one race and that it is not always the father who is missing in young folks formative years. You've actually allowdd for this, but the perception given is that it is yet another black related social problem, which it is not, at least not exclusively.

There are TONS of studies out there showing differences in brain function among races. Different races are born with different brains. For instance, Ashkanazi Jews are by far, the most intelligent and have the most developed brain from birth. Why would you think races have other differences genetically but stop short when it comes to the brain? Steven Pinker wrote an entire book on this and how liberals destroyed Science with their bullshit Standard Social Sciences Model which tried to push the notion that we are all born with the brain as a "Blank Slate" and that environment and culture is what determines everything. Total nonsense and anti-scientific.

Can you provide studies that show that infants are born with different brain capacities? I mean, you are a man of science, right, True Adonis? As such, when you make a claim, you should provide evidence, correct? Ill await the journal articles.

By race? Certainly.
You did not specify by race making me raise this question. Do you really think people are equally born with the same brain capacities? ??? Really?

Hundreds and thousands of studies can be found here: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=racial+brain+differences&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7vNuihc_OAhVKQSYKHUhVBRsQgQMIGjAA

So, go ahead and provide the studies.
1) I never said that babies are born a Blank State. In fact, most social scientists do not agree with the Blank State. The majority agree that babies are born with distinct temperament styles, which is highly ingrained. Temperament is the building blocks of personality. So, yes, temperament is biological, and most social scientists agree with this. See the work of Thomas and Chess and other Temperament theorists.
2) My hypothesis, which has overwhelming evidence, is that cultural affects brain functioning and structure. It's true, even if you do not want to accept this fact. How that interacts with naturally occurring abilities, well, Id have to do the research.
3) Related to point 2, we would also need to know how intra-uterine exposure to a variety of circumstances, which affects the mother, also affect the babies development inside the womb. There is overwhelming evidence that parental factors affects the brain development of the baby in the womb. So, if certain babies are born with a different set of capacities, how are environmental factors affecting the development of the baby in the womb? I am one who rarely ever puts 100% stock in genetics or environment.

Yeah, well, who has the time to look through hundreds of thousands of studies. The only study that I found relevant was this one:
Brain size, IQ, and racial-group differences: Evidence from musculoskeletal traits
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016028960200137X
And this doesn't list the ages of people studied. If people are born with different brain capacities, then we would have to understand the brain capacities of infants, from pretty much day one, in order to determine if people are BORN with different brain capacities. I don't know how that would be possible. If the results of the above study are true, and it was done on adult populations, how do we know a smaller brain present was at birth or due to environmental circumstances? What was this literature they reviewed in terms of age? Also, you do realize that ALL peer-reviewed studies are REQUIRED to post at the end of the study something called, "Limitations of the Study." This helps the reader better understand how limitations of the study may have confounded results. I'd also need to read that.

Clearly, environmental factors affect intra-uterine development:
http://www.popline.org/node/304362
The brain is the organ at greatest risk during intrauterine life, since it is the first organ to complete hyperplastic growth. Placental metabolic functions are critical in early pregnancy to providing nutrition and energy to the developing conceptus and the placenta itself, while placental endocrine activities are important to maintaining pregnancy and inducing metabolic adaptations in the mother and fetus. Premature infants face both possible nutritional deficits and lack of placental nourishment, placing them at increased risk of neuro-developmental disorders, especially if they are also low birth weight.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3837231/
The fetal brain is highly plastic and is not only receptive to but requires cues from its environment to develop properly. Based on an understanding of evolutionary biology, developmental plasticity, and life history theory, one can predict that stressors are an important environmental condition that may influence brain development. In fact, the available empirical evidence appears to support the notion that exposure to excess stress in intrauterine life has the potential to adversely affect short- and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes with implications for altered susceptibility for mental health disorders in childhood and adult life. In this presentation, we provide a rationale for proposing that endocrine and inflammatory stress mediators are key candidate pathways for programming brain development.

1. Why would you concede that blacks have different genetic traits every where else, but stop short at the brain? Does not make sense.
2. Both have an impact. Environment and genetics. Why is that so difficult to understand? Why would you think genetics do not play any role? ???
3. Again genetics. Whatever happens or does not happen intra-uterine is a result of a genetic response. Just like anything else.
4. Genetics determine everything. We can certainly try and act against our genetics and change behaviors to subvert our genetics or take medication or use devices that circumvent genetics, but at the end of the day, it always comes down to genetics and the battle against them.

I think they oughta look at the intelligence of Jews being born right before World War II and right after World War II which would basically shit all over that hypothesis. (nobody had anything to eat still, yet Jews and their intelligence remained).
I am not saying there is no water in your theory, I just don't think it accounts for as much as you think it does. Jews laugh at your attempt. :D

I actually do not have the best reading speed. I am not in a speed reading competition. I read at my desk, quietly and alone. There is no sense in speed reading through a book. Those days are over when I was cramming for college tests and needed to read X amount of pages for a test.

1) I never said it stopped at the brain. Temperament is often determined by biological and genetic components. I didn't know I had to spell it out for you.
2) Nice trolling. I just said I never put 100% stock on genetics or environment. Read above, more closely. Failed attempt at trolling. I never said genetics was not a factor. I was offering a counter-opinion, that is all. Again, trolling attempt = fail. I specifically said, "I am one who rarely ever puts 100% stock in genetics or environment." Meaning, I don't think its 100% genetics or 100% environment. In fact, throughout my time on getbig, I have often said life is a mixture of genetics and environment.
3) I'd have to do more research on this, so I cannot comment on it. I am not the typical getbigger. I like to actually read and learn before forming an opinion.
4. You just said that everything is a mixture of genetics and environment, now you're saying that genetics determine everything. Make up your mind. Since most of life is a mixture of genetics vs. environment, I would hardly agree that its a fight purely against genetics, unless you can provide evidence of this. Ive seen first hand how the changing of environments can alter a persons behavior (as well as evidence).

4. Everything. Without DNA, you do not exist. We are DNA first and foremost. All of our biology is rooted in it. Our bodies are just hosts essentially for these selfish genes. We can mitigate or enhance genetic expression as I noted earlier, but at the end of the day, all we are doing is wrestling with our own DNA, adjusting it as necessary to fit whatever environment we find ourselves in-biologically as well as socially/environmentally.

4. Well, exactly, the environment can mitigate genetic expression. This is why a baby may be born with an anxious predisposition, but may not become anxious person later in life, if they grew up in a home that provided appropriate soothing and comfort. The environment can mitigate the babies genetics. On the other hand, a baby may not have a genetic predisposition for anxiety, but experiencing enough trauma in the home, will alter the babies biological system, thus creating an anxious person later in life. Children that experience trauma often have higher heart rate and pulse than children who do not experience trauma. Whether or not these children would have these physical ailments, despite trauma, well, its hard to say. However, RCTs have been done, which has included children with trauma and children without trauma (control group).
I do not necessarily agree that we always fight against our genetics. The environment has a powerful impact on the individual. Sometimes changing the context will have drastic implications for behavior. Criminology research shows that when a person is released from prison, and move 20+ miles away from their home, recidivism rates drastically drop. These ex-convicts have the same genetics, but its the same genetics within a different environment. Now, how much are they struggling against the genetic predisposition in these new environments, well, I do not know. But clear, a different social context is modifying their behavior to a certain degree ( to the point of not going back to prison). I guess the real question is: how will they respond in this new environment if they are faced with a situation that would trigger their criminal behavior?

All that aside for a moment. Can you find me one city run entirely by minorities that is actually worth a shit to live in? Just curious. Some of this cities have been minority controlled for decades and have been shitholes for decades.
Another fun example is Soul City, NC. It was supposed to be a paradise for minorities and had the full backing of the Federal and State Government. They had everything they needed to make this a reality. What do you think happened? So much for trying to let them create their own "ideal environment". :-\ Look it up sometime. I think you will find it interesting.
Utopian black ghost town.

1) As I stated, temperament has a genetic-brain basis. I was only questioning Fortress's over-emphasis on genetics. So, yes, I 100% believe in genetics-brain and that life is a mixture of genetics-brain and environment. I just wanted to make that clear before we moved on to something else (if we do).
"The discoveries suggesting genetic components to temperament started with that workhorse of the human behavioral lab—twin studies, monozygotes versus dizygotes versus siblings versus strangers. Clear findings emerged. Using infant temperamental inventories, the degree of resemblance (correlation) for identical twins was shown to be about 0.4. For fraternal twins and non-twin siblings, the resemblance score was between 0.15 and 0.18. In these studies, about 60% of kids who seemed very inhibited as youngsters grew up to be inhibited as adults. They were prone to the same strong fears and phobias shown previously and were the most anxious in the group. Ninety percent of the uninhibited group stayed uninhibited as a group when adults."

2) And I agree that many minority communities are struggling. Black people on this board, such as Parker and Dr Kaje will 100% agree with you. You will not hear an argument from them. I've never heard of Soul City, NC, but I will look it up.

It just seems that we have exhausted all of our avenues in order to "civilize" and "placate" and "advance". What more can be done? Even when given carte blanche with no obstruction, they fail.
Also, what you may think or identify as "stress", "stressors" or a "bad living situation", they do not see it that way at all. Its what they like and are comfortable with. How they act is also a universal constant pretty much, no matter what area of the country you find them.
There is a lot of components to all of it, but I think we all are out of ideas on how to improve the situation, especially when they are not interested in doing so themselves. No interest whatsoever.

I think they oughta look at the intelligence of Jews being born right before World War II and right after World War II which would basically shit all over that hypothesis. (nobody had anything to eat still, yet Jews and their intelligence remained).

By the way, I read the "Blank Slate" when it first came out. Perhaps I shall have to read it again.
To be honest, I grew up middle-to-upper middle class (my parents made good livings--obviously not rich or anything. But we grew up nicely), so I cannot provide you with a more personalized answer. As I said, I do not make up answers like the majority of getbiggers. I do work with many different poor communities, and they are beset with many problems. The issue is often Multigenerational. Murray Bowen, a founding father of family therapy, discussed something called, "Multigenerational Transmission Process, which is: The concept of the multigenerational transmission process describes how small differences in the levels of differentiation between parents and their offspring lead over many generations to marked differences in differentiation among the members of a multigenerational family. The information creating these differences is transmitted across generations through relationships. The transmission occurs on several interconnected levels ranging from the conscious teaching and learning of information to the automatic and unconscious programming of emotional reactions and behaviors. Relationally and genetically transmitted information interact to shape an individual’s “self."
https://www.thebowencenter.org/theory/eight-concepts/multigenerational-transmission-process/
This is huge in many families, especially low-income families. You will often see the transmission of trauma through generations, i.e., domestic violence or sexual abuse has occurred for generations. The only way to break the cycle is to break the way its passed on to the children. But as long as parents keep passing on genetic and psychological transmitted information to their children, it will be hard to break the cycle. Thus, the cycle of emotions and behaviors continue.
But, to complicate the matter even more, read Urie Bronfenbrenner (developmental psychologist), who extended family issues to varying levels of the environment. You may have heard of Bronfenbrenner. Here is his bioecological systems theory:

1. Why would you concede that blacks have different genetic traits every where else, but stop short at the brain? Does not make sense.
2. Both have an impact. Environment and genetics. Why is that so difficult to understand? Why would you think genetics do not play any role? ???
3. Again genetics. Whatever happens or does not happen intra-uterine is a result of a genetic response. Just like anything else.
4. Genetics determine everything. We can certainly try and act against our genetics and change behaviors to subvert our genetics or take medication or use devices that circumvent genetics, but at the end of the day, it always comes down to genetics and the battle against them.
Point 3) Yes, you are correct. Two babies can have the same intra-uterine exposure. And one baby can be perfectly fine, and another baby can have a wide range of developmental delays. So, yes, something is definitely going on in the womb that is making babies respond differently (genetic response). But, clearly, babies are still affected in the womb--look at Fetal Alcohol Syndrome :-\ But, again, some babies are born perfectly fine.
-
I bet violent crime by blacks would drop by at least half if these thugs actually grew up with a father figure present. But as long as you have babies making babies, with no father present, it's going to be more of the same.
So, let's think that logic little further? Why the father figure isn't present? a) he has paid the mother to fuck her b) he is in prison c) he is a gangbanger, and could not care less d) he is killed by another black american e) he is crack addict piece of crap.. So if you pick your father figure from that bunch, the kid will be just where he is right now ;D

This is not the first time a dindu nuffin torched an older white man. Why are the large mainstream media companies silent on these despicable acts? Why don't they label these acts as hate crimes - which is what they are??? I am starting to think the owners of the media companies need to be impaled ASAP. No, that's the wrong choice of words. I am not starting to think this. I knew this a long time ago. Let's torch these large mainstream media companies. Fuck them ALL!!!!

For instance, Ashkanazi Jews are by far, the most intelligent and have the most developed brain from birth.
BS. Whites are by far the most intelligent. Most major inventions were made by white men. When white men ran Western societies the results were fantastic.
Now that Ashkenazi Jews control the banking in Western Nations completely they have corrupted all politicians and governments. The West is becoming a cesspool because of fake jews and their greedy corruption. These are not the actions of smart individuals. They are creating a major fuck up. It is time to remove their influence in banking, media, immigration etc. The sooner their influence over politicians stop the better off the West will be.
You can't even spell Ashkenazi you moron. Ashkenazi Jews are great at being greasy, slimy, sneaky activists (feminism, homosexuality, immigration, black civil rights, abortion, false narratives etc.)
As far as emotional intelligence goes "ashkenazi fake jews" have none.

Anybody with half a brain understands that 'equality' is a myth. It's forcefed to children from an early age to dumb them down in the hopes of creating subservient adults who won't question the grossly liberal direction the world has gone in.
People won't call a spade a spade nowadays for fear of being branded a bigot etc.
Think about it, what's the default reaction to terrorism or mass mobs looting and rioting? A Facebook status calling for 'prayers' and/or a twee little meme. There's a lot of good in the world, but there's also a lot of shit...but when you've got people who truly believe that there is no such thing as an offender and that they are merely a victim of circumstance, what hope have you got?
-
Can you provide studies that show that infants are born with different brain capacities? I mean, you are a man of science, right, True Adonis? As such, when you make a claim, you should provide evidence, correct? Ill await the journal articles.
Research and studies on race is taboo and basically forbidden since WW2...
Dog races and other biological species all have differences in intelligence and behaviour between races. Are you telling me this is cultural difference between animals? ::) Humans differ in no way from other biological creatures, I mean why would we.
David Duke explains it well

No it wouldn't. There is nothing magical about a "father figure". Their culture to start with is the problem. "Father Figure" is just another excuse of many.

What is the prerequisite to culture? It is not separate from human behavior, it is not merely metaphysical, it is the literal, physical culmination of diverse human behavior itself. It comes about specifically because of diversity in evolutionary terms.
As my grandfather used to say, you can put some folk in Buckingham Palace with all the help they would need and they'd still make it a shithole within a few days.

Are you sure you're not trolling? ??? ??? And now youre moving the goal posts. Now youre saying intelligence is LARGELY inherited. In a previous post, you basically said that culture didn't matter at all, and it was ALL genetic. But, now youre saying its LARGELY genetic, implying that their may be room for other factors. Of course intelligence is very much genetic, but IT is mitigated by environmental factors.
Yes, and numerous studies also show a culture/environment of trauma affects children's brains. So, clearly, culture/environment is going to have some influence on IQ. There are articles that show the relationship between environment/culture and IQ development between children who have experienced trauma and those who have not. But, yes, you are correct, culture and/or environment means absolutely nothing lol.
Hippocampus: Adults who were maltreated may have reduced volume in the hippocampus, which is central to learning and memory (McCrory, De Brito, &
Viding, 2010; Wilson, Hansen, & Li, 2011). Toxic stress also can reduce the hippocampus’s capacity to bring cortisol levels back to normal after a stressful event has occurred (Shonkoff, 2012).
Corpus callosum: Maltreated children and adolescents tend to have decreased volume in the corpus callosum, which is the largest white matter
structure in the brain and is responsible for interhemispheric communication and other processes (e.g., arousal, emotion, higher cognitive abilities) (McCrory,
De Brito, & Viding, 2010; Wilson, Hansen, & Li, 2011).
Cerebellum: Maltreated children and adolescents tend to have decreased volume in the cerebellum, which helps coordinate motor behavior and executive
functioning (McCrory, De Brito, & Viding, 2010).
Prefrontal cortex: Some studies on adolescents and adults who were severely neglected as children indicate they have a smaller prefrontal cortex, which is
critical to behavior, cognition, and emotion regulation (National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, 2012), but other studies show no differences (McCrory, De Brito, & Viding, 2010). Physically abused children also may have reduced volume in the orbitofrontal cortex, a part of the prefrontal cortex that is central to emotion and social regulation (Hanson et al., 2010).
Other: Children who experienced severe neglect early in life while in institutional settings often have decreased electrical activity in their brains, decreased
brain metabolism, and poorer connections between areas of the brain that are key to integrating complex information (National Scientific Council on the
Developing Child, 2012). These children also may continue to have abnormal patterns of adrenaline activity years after being adopted from institutional
settings. Additionally, malnutrition, a form of neglect, can impair both brain development (e.g., slowing the growth of neurons, axons, and synapses) and function (e.g., neurotransmitter syntheses, the maintenance of brain tissue) (Prado & Dewey, 2012).

THE EFFECTS OF EARLY RELATIONAL TRAUMA ON RIGHT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, AFFECT REGULATION, AND INFANT MENTAL HEALTH
ABSTRACT: A primary interest of the field of infant mental health is in the early conditions that place
infants at riskfor less than optimal development. The fundamental problem of what constitutes normal
and abnormal development is now a focus of developmental psychology, infant psychiatry, and developmental
neuroscience. In the second part of this sequential work, I present interdisciplinary data to more
deeply forge the theoretical links between severe attachment failures, impairments of the early development
of the right brain’s stress coping systems, and maladaptive infant mental health. In the following,
I offer thoughts on the negative impact of traumatic attachments on brain development and infant mental
health, the neurobiology of infant trauma, the neuropsychology of a disorganized/disoriented attachment
pattern associated with abuse and neglect, trauma-induced impairments of a regulatory system in the
orbitofrontal cortex, the links between orbitofrontal dysfunction and a predisposition to posttraumatic
stress disorders, the neurobiology of the dissociative defense, the etiology of dissociation and body–mind
psychopathology, the effects of early relational trauma on enduring right hemispheric function, and some
implications for models of early intervention. These findings suggest direct connections between traumatic
attachment, inefficient right brain regulatory functions, and both maladaptive infant and adult mental
health.

There are several studies(or so called studies) on both sides. You can choose to believe in scientific studies or politically influenced garbage.

No, the evidence is overwhelming. Trauma affects the brain. You will not find one scientist who disagrees with this. Are you telling me a 2 year old who experiences profound physical and sexual abuse will have no brain impairments due to profound abuse? Are you seriously this stupid? From 0-5 years old, the brain is BOOMING with development. Are you saying that scientists are motivated by politics to prove that early childhood trauma affects the brain? Do you really think being beaten at 1 years old will have ZERO impact on brain development? Yes, because showing that trauma affects brain development across children of ALL races is politically motivated. Geez, you are a special kind of stupid. Even True Adonis agrees that life is very much of a mixture of genes and environment. I just can't respond to such stupidity any more.

The evidence is overwhelming regarding trauma on the developing brain. Either accept the evidence or remain ignorant, which, in your case, is quite easy.
Typical tinfoil hat nonsense. The evidence does not agree with me, so I am going to call it a giant conspiracy haha lol.

I read a longer article about this in the morning. It might of been over something as trivial as a stolen car. The victim had both his cars stolen recently, with the latest one just last week. One theory is that the old man maybe asked him about it, got knocked out or killed, then set on fire to cover it up :(.
This happened just a few weeks ago too, to another elderly person - www.fox25boston.com/news/elderly-woman-beaten-set-on-fire-during-robbery/421204751 .

This was an interesting and intelligent discussion which eventually and unfortunately degraded to the more typical Getbig argument, spiced with insults, racism and irrelevance.
A few things seem certain. What we don't know about our brains far exceeds what we do know. Likewise, what we do not understand about human behavior overshadows what we do understand. Preconceived beliefs frequently have a negative influence on rational thinking.

Scientists have to be politically correct. Their careers depend on it. It would be career suicide for a scientist to focus their research on intelligence differences between races.
But we really don't need a study do we. The proof is in history and what different races achieved. The Caucasian race advanced societies through their numerous inventions and discoveries. The black races have contributed almost nothing. It is because of genetics. Tens of thousands of years separate Caucasians and Asians from Africans. During this time the races evolved differently. Blacks excel in running events. Whites dominate strength and coordination sports. Usain Bolt is so fast because of his genetics. Newton / Da Vinci were so intelligent because of their genetics.
If you're trying to convince otherwise give it up. It is naive to think Dindus could function properly in an advanced society. This will not happen. Their brains are less developed. Of course there are a few small exceptions. But a large portion of them are not capable. It is best that a section of Africa be allocated to them. Perhaps it can be called Dinduwane or something like that. All the Dindus in the West should be relocated there. I think this will be great for everyone involved.

Old man, just look at history. You can thank Caucasians for most of the technology and comforts you enjoy. The building you live in was probably built by white carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc. Even today if I drive past jobs sites many workers are white.
There is no mystery. Blacks are better at running 100 meters. Because of their genetics. And Caucasians are more intelligent - because of their genetics. It really is that simple.

Genetics and environmental circumstances both are important factors.
An individual with the potential to be highly successful is still likely to struggle in life , if they suffered a traumatic childhood,
Personally, I believe a child of any race can achieve academic and societal success if the environmental circumstances are in their favour.
