   Nothing has changed in nine years and yes Obama is dumber than   
   the average rock.  He's just a puppet for apologist white   
   leftist liberals.   
      
   A 60-page review of the scientific evidence, some based on state-   
   of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain size, has   
   concluded that race differences in average IQ are largely   
   genetic.   
      
   The lead article in the June 2005 issue of Psychology, Public   
   Policy and Law, a journal of the American Psychological   
   Association, examined 10 categories of research evidence from   
   around the world to contrast "a hereditarian model (50% genetic-   
   50% cultural) and a culture-only model (0% genetic-100%   
   cultural)."   
      
   The paper, "Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in   
   Cognitive Ability," by J. Philippe Rushton of the University of   
   Western Ontario and Arthur R. Jensen of the University of   
   California at Berkeley, appeared with a positive commentary by   
   Linda Gottfredson of the University of Delaware, three critical   
   ones (by Robert Sternberg of Yale University, Richard Nisbett of   
   the University of Michigan, and Lisa Suzuki & Joshua Aronson of   
   New York University), and the authors' reply.   
      
   "Neither the existence nor the size of race differences in IQ   
   are a matter of dispute, only their cause," write the authors.   
   The Black-White difference has been found consistently from the   
   time of the massive World War I Army testing of 90 years ago to   
   a massive study of over 6 million corporate, military, and   
   higher-education test-takers in 2001.   
      
   "Race differences show up by 3 years of age, even after matching   
   on maternal education and other variables," said Rushton.   
   "Therefore they cannot be due to poor education since this has   
   not yet begun to exert an effect. That's why Jensen and I looked   
   at the genetic hypothesis in detail. We examined 10 categories   
   of evidence."   
      
   The Worldwide Pattern of IQ Scores. East Asians average higher   
   on IQ tests than Whites, both in the U. S. and in Asia, even   
   though IQ tests were developed for use in the Euro-American   
   culture. Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians   
   centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks about   
   85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa".
