I played with her too! I think she's xXiTzR4C1STB1TcHXx

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.

I'm not going to claim that this woman wasn't being a racist (she clearly was) but I don't think this was really about race at all ...

She was being a bully, and the goal was to use intimidation to get her way; and she has probably been very successful with this strategy in the past. There are two common responses for someone in the postal carrier's position, to give into the demands of the person instigating to remove conflict, or to retaliate. If the postal carrier caves the woman 'wins', if the postal carrier retaliates being that she is a "small defenceless woman" she will (most likely) get his boss to cave and the woman "wins".

Effectively, it isn't that different from a temper tantrum that the typical 4 year old will throw; and it should be dealt with in a similar way.

Thank you for explaining this to him :)

I'm currently taking physchology right now. I bet this person would be surprised to learn that at birth, white and black infants have scored equally well on an infant intelligence measure. And there are millions of blacks who have higher IQs than whites.

Recent immigrated being 10 years maybe, or at least immigrant families that haven't fully absorbed the culture of a developed country.

All races have their differences and advantages over the others. If I came in and said that black people are stronger than white and asian, no one would find my comment shocking. Yet, I came in and wrote what I just did, and suddenly everyone was shocked, and didn't even bother to check if what I said was true, if there was actually any study made, except maybe you.

Those who do get offended by this, is it because they judge people's quality from their intelligence? Is it within human nature to put dumber ones at a lower level? If you believe you have the right to feel offended by it, wouldn't you allow white people to be offended that they're muscles are weaker? Or that asians are shorter? Or how about a white man from portugal whose countrymen were captured, stolen from and enslaved for 400 years by northern africans? Don't you see the double standard.

As for the source I pointed out, much of the criticism could very well have been from tackling a very controversial topic. It seems also to have met much appraise too. But it's also not the first and only study/research that comes to the same conclusion.

The problem about disproving someone's argument is that you have to show proof for your counter-argument. How about you show something that counters mine?

I don't know you or your family, and besides, this isn't a personal attack.

As for the racial slurs, I firmly believe in that if your intent is to insult someone with words, then go ahead. To me, racist insults are on the same level as every other discriminatory insults targetting obesity, intelligence, etc... Should someone be labeled a Fat-people hater because he made discriminatory remarks about Fat people? Besides, the strongest insults are the ones that target someone you care about, rather than yourself, like insulting your mother.

This is very saddening that this woman got away for this...

The mail man was only doing his duty and yet he was racially abused by some bitch and got fired...

How this all resulted is beyond me.

First, I've taken Psychology. And second, I'm not surprised that at birth, all child probably have the equal results, since education, culture and environment don't play any role... they're Tabula Rasa, if I'm using the term correctly.

What I am surprised though, is why would you think I would be surprised about that?

Dude I'm sick of these threads about racism.

She's like 900 years old. In her day it was probably normal to say nigger, or at least negro. Her brother fought in the US Civil War she's so old.

And who cares really?

I bet I know which one shio would pick!

To be fair... that black one is a Dell.  Who in there right mind would go Dell?
