I agree that education, poverty, and culture severly effect intelligence. But my understanding of what you wrote leads me to believe that you feel race is a factor. In your opinion, what is a "recently immigrated family"? 10 years? 50 years? 100 years? A little clarity is in order. I haven't traced my family's ancestry back to Africa or anything but I can assure you that the vast majority of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings are great successes in life. Given the same opportunity at eduction, we have matched or surpassed most of our peers of different races. I don't know how things are where you live. I can't speak for how black people in your area feel about the value of education. I do think that if you did a bit of checking, you'd find that those black people aren't the only ones lacking academically.
And I hardly believe that your "facts" are facts. Even the reference you posted shows that your source is contraversial and heavily disputed. I think that this was a matter of you choosing to believe what you want to believe. And that's fine. If you believe PC gamers are superior to console gamers, that one race is better than another, or that Coke is better than Pepsi, that's your mind. I'm not here to change it.
Your opinions on race just stun me. It's okay to call someone a racial slur--as long as it's just to insult? The average intelligence of some African countries (please list a few) are at the retard level? Wow. I thought I knew you, man. I'm not mad, offended or anything like that. It's no big deal to me. Like I said, I'm just stunned. At least you voiced how you really perceive black people. I can respect that, I guess. I'll just be looking at you in a different light from now on.
As for your "look in the mirror" remark. Please.
