Racial Fatigue?

[KingOrfeo]

Duh, IQ tests are problems so IQ measures problem solving aptitude or talent.

I've seen it characterized as essentially a test for "secretarial skills."

I've seen it characterized as essentially a test for "secretarial skills."

There are all kinds of IQ tests, and all of them are problem solving. Prolly closer to puzzles than clerical skills.

I've seen it characterized as essentially a test for "secretarial skills."

Who did you see characterizing it thusly? I suspect they were people who failed an aptitude test for secretarial school.

trouvy.. anyone that uses the term " orientals" doesnt get to say they aren't racist

Oriental. Oriental. Oriental.

I have admired Orientals all my life. I have never used "Oriental" in a derogatory way. I have never heard it used in a derogatory way. I intend to keep using it, just as I intend to keep calling Negroes Negroes.

According to Charles Krauthammer, the word "Negro" has become derogatory.

Has the word "Jew" become derogatory too? It is hard to keep up to date on all this.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The United Negro College Fund rejects all donations from people who say negro.

 

[The_Trouvere]

Oh, I knew it all, but I also know that what "IQ" means is highly controversial among psychologists. Some posit a general intelligence factor g, while others posit multiple and independent axes of personal intelligence. IQ certainly measures something, some stable personal psychological characteristic, in the sense that if you take two well-designed IQ tests five years apart you will probably get roughly the same result each time; but what that thing measured is, is far from settled. And what role genetic "racial" factors might play is a question science can't even begin to answer yet.

The only reason IQ tests are controversial is because they tell people what they wish was not true. Even conservatives want to believe that hard work will make them rich before they die. An IQ test can demonstrate that it is unlikely.

There is a strong correlation between different mental skills.

 

[The_Trouvere]

The United Negro College Fund rejects all donations from people who say negro.

The American Indian Movement may have the same restriction about those who use the word "Indian." I have been told, in an angry tone of voice, that now the proper term is "Native American."

If the politically correct term for "Jew" has not become "Hebrew American," I fear it will be.

I don't normally join into conversations about race, as it is a very sticky subject. I don't see color.....I would be just as concerned if I were walking alone and met a rough looking white man just as much as a black or Hispanic man. To me it is not about race, but about the fact there are bad people everywhere of every race. I just see a man that man hurt me, not his race.

I think sometimes black people make everything about race, not us whites.

I'm sure I'll be jumped about my opinion, but it is what it is.

No, honestly blacks don't bring it up enough and as result it never gets addressed.

There are some sour grapes with the American public, they really can't complain that shit never gets done if they keep up this stupid voting pattern. If they think things are getting better and Obama's approval is high why not vote Democrat? And if you truly reject our ideas in 2016 give Republicans a Super Majority, and no matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets don't vote them out until 2026 at the earliest. Give them time to prove their methods are the best. Flip flopping back and forth simply prevents anything from getting done at all.

Granted this is largely because Republicans refuse to do their duty and bow, and Obama has signaled he's not trained. (Though we all know better.)

[Sean Renaud]

You will vote Democrat for the rest of your life, no matter what happens.

Maybe. I could very easily have voted Romney, the only reason I didn't was it would have been basically admitting that if you hold your breath and stomp your feet I'll give in.

That doesn't change what the middle average uniformed voter should do if they give a shit.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Count on it. The politically correct are everywhere here . . .

Pointing out freedom of speech isn't playing the victim. You are the one claiming victimhood with your stupid alien demands for government controlled speech. The owners of this board support free speech, racial or otherwise. Yet you don't criticize Laurel for not curtailing it. Zumi just posted a bunch of racially derogatory comments from Twitter. Are you going to criticize him, or write a litter complaining to the CEO of Twitter? Why not? Do you see me posting that kind of shit? Do you see me insulting another poster's race? Have you ever seen a post of mine that contained the N-word, or any other such racist word? No you haven't so shut the fuck up and grow up.

Dear dumbass

Freedom of speech isnt freedom from criticism

You can say anything you want.. I also can say anything I want.

I can say anything I want about the shit you refuse to comment on.

Namely the daily racist tirades of your cronies that you never speak out against


The subject I keep talking about is your complete inability to take a stand against your racist buddies

and I will keep ranting about your cowardice untill you act like the person you claim to be

You dont denigrate a persons race.. you just never speak out against those on the right that do... while you constantly do so to those whose political viewpoints differ from your own

you are a coward

pure and simple

 

[BotanyBoy]

Oriental. Oriental. Oriental.

I have admired Orientals all my life. I have never used "Oriental" in a derogatory way. I have never heard it used in a derogatory way. :

Oriental is a style of rug you fucking moron.....not a race of people.

As long as that alleged free speech it isn't imposed by government regulation...asswipe. Unless you're not an iron fisted fascist of the right wing flavor....then I totally support the government regulating you right out of existence.

FYP

People around the fucking world can solve their own domestic problems.

Unless it's in the middle east....then we absolutely and unquestioningly must meddle and fuck with it at all fucking cost up to an including the economic and social destruction of the US of A. Because strategic value....freedom..... and stuff....

FYP again.

freedom of speech does not equal freedom from criticism

It does if your a super RW christian.

No it doesn't, it makes me a believer in free speech

No, it makes you a political hack and racist chickenshit.

It's my thread, how am I chickenshit?

Just because it's your thread doesn't make you not a chickenshit, I mean you have like 9/10th the site on your iggy list because they don't buy your scorch the earth conservatism without question. You can't even be a human fucking being to anyone who doesn't share your political views.... prob disown your own kids because they don't spend the minimum of 4hrs a day prostrating themselves in front of a FOX news outlet...how are you not a chickenshit and total scum bag?

You will vote Democrat for the rest of your life, no matter what happens.

Says the hardliner "Die before voting (D)!!" republican voter.....LMFAO

You dont see race.. but you think sometimes black people do something

so you do see them when they do something you disagree with

amongst older white folks, I can imagine you never do... for the past 30 years or so you should probably use the term Asian.. and even then you probably should be specific due to regionality.. such as India which qualifies as being in Asia and in your old word thinking of the Orient

I intend to keep using it, just as I intend to keep calling Negroes Negroes.

to their face?

According to Charles Krauthammer, the word "Negro" has become derogatory.

yes, where have you been for the last 50 years

Has the word "Jew" become derogatory too? It is hard to keep up to date on all this.

because you're trying to compare apples to asteroids..


The English word Jew continues Middle English Gyw, Iewe. These terms derive from Old French giu, earlier juieu, which had elided (dropped) the letter "d" from the Medieval Latin Iudaeus, which, like the New Testament Greek term Ioudaios, meant both Jews and Judeans / "of Judea".[41]

The Greek term was originally a loan from Aramaic Y'hūdāi, corresponding to Hebrew: יְהוּדִי, Yehudi (sg.); יְהוּדִים, Yehudim (pl.), in origin the term for a member of the tribe of Judah or the people of the kingdom of Judah. The name of both the tribe and kingdom derive from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob.[42]

The Hebrew word for Jew, יְהוּדִי ISO 259-3 Yhudi, is pronounced [jehuˈdi], with the stress on the final syllable, in Israeli Hebrew, in its basic form.[43] The Ladino name is ג׳ודיו, Djudio (sg.); ג׳ודיוס, Djudios (pl.); Yiddish: ייִד Yid (sg.); ייִדן, Yidn (pl.).

The etymological equivalent is in use in other languages, e.g., يَهُودِيّ yahoudiy (sg.); al-yahoud (pl.), and بَنُو اِسرَائِيل banoo israa'eel in Arabic, "Jude" in German, "judeu" in Portuguese, "juif" in French, "jøde" in Danish and Norwegian, "judío" in Spanish, "jood" in Dutch, etc., but derivations of the word "Hebrew" are also in use to describe a Jew, e.g., in Italian (Ebreo), in Persian ("Ebri/Ebrani" (Persian: عبری/عبرانی‎)) and Russian (Еврей, Yevrey).[44] The German word "Jude" is pronounced [ˈjuːdə], the corresponding adjective "jüdisch" [ˈjyːdɪʃ] (Jewish) is the origin of the word "Yiddish".[45] (See Jewish ethnonyms for a full overview.)

According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2000):

It is widely recognized that the attributive use of the noun Jew, in phrases such as Jew lawyer or Jew ethics, is both vulgar and highly offensive. In such contexts Jewish is the only acceptable possibility. Some people, however, have become so wary of this construction that they have extended the stigma to any use of Jew as a noun, a practice that carries risks of its own. In a sentence such as There are now several Jews on the council, which is unobjectionable, the substitution of a circumlocution like Jewish people or persons of Jewish background may in itself cause offense for seeming to imply that Jew has a negative connotation when used as a noun

I hope my response will not seem like an attack. Nevertheless, Jesse Jackson disagrees with you about not seeing color. This is what he has written about the matter, "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

 

[Sean Renaud]

Honestly who cares what Jesse Jackson thinks?

Lets say he has a point, that doesn't change the surrounding facts of what black America is going through.

 

[The_Trouvere]

An Asian can be a Caucasian. A Mongoloid can be an American Indian, an Indonesian, or a person of several other nationalities.

When I use the word "Oriental" I mean Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese. To call people from those nations "East Asian" feels like a concession to political correctness. I despise political correctness.

I do not care if times have changed. I dislike the changes. I have not changed.

The most important single factor in our complex society and high tech economy is being born with a high IQ. The sub race with the highest average is Ashkenazi Jews, followed by Orientals, followed by Nordics. Nordics are people from Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, and England.

 

[The_Trouvere]

Honestly who cares what Jesse Jackson thinks?

What black America is going through is our evolution toward an economy that increasingly rewards superior intelligence, while punishing low intelligence.

This is why blacks are declining economically, while Jews and Orientals are rising.

 

[The_Trouvere]

I intend to keep calling Negroes Negroes.

to their face?

Of course. I have heard them call each other a worse n word than "Negro."

Martin Luther King, Jr. used the word "Negro" in his "I have a dream speech." I will continue to use it.

I have never heard "African American" used in conversation. "African American" has too many syllables for my taste. In addition, the use of "African American" is a concession to Political Correctness. I will never concede.

While I am on the subject, I want the Washington Redskins to keep their name.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Of course. I have heard them call each other a worse n word than "Negro."

So what? You do not have n-word privileges.

 

[The_Trouvere]

yes, where have you been for the last 50 years

I have been watching black social pathology get worse, despite (or perhaps because of) the civil rights legislation and the war on poverty.
