I just read that article on the History of Apartheid in South Africa. Holy God whitey did some fucked up things to the blacks. I knew this before as well but when you read some of this stuff it really opens up your eyes.

If the problems of the African Americans in the U.S. aren't fixed within the next 200 years, I would still understand. The disgust and outrage at the behavior of some black people in this thread would make sense 200 years from now. The white race (mostly the white race) spent more than 400 years dominating and destroying the social fabric of the black race, you guys expect them to get back to normal within 50 years?? Is that fair?

We're barely 40 years past the civil rights movement. How the hell can some of you guys expect an entire race that has been so royally fucked by the white race to get its act back together so quickly. 40 years ago you were sitll making them sit in the back of the bus. 40 years really isn't that long ago in the grande scheme of things.

Hmmm, I wonder why no one tells the American Indians to get their acts together. Probably cause some of your ancestors didn't leave enough of them around for it to matter.

As a long term member of Mensa, I can honestly say that the testing doesn't prove anything other than one's ability to take Mensa tests.

And most folks I know if asked to come up with a word to describe me probably would not use 'intelligent'


Ha, my friends call me "the arrogant oracle".

One summer a girlfriend's mom, who was taking psych, asked me to take IQ tests for her. She had about 10 different kinds she had to give to about 20 people. I ende up taking the same tests for about 20 of her classmates, so I took about 200 IQ tests that summer. Depending on the test, my mood, or hangover, I scored between 80 and 230. Man, that's repeatable....

Also amazing that one can score higher than 200 on a test that maxes out at 200...
