I bet the starving north Koreans are still smarter than the well fed blacks. whatever the difference that can be 'unlocked' by better diet and environments clearly isn't that much, maybe bump up iq by 5 points, otherwise the blacks adopted by whites would have similar test results to whites and asians instead of only slightly better than other blacks.
I think there's another environment we're missing here, social. The Democrats successfully created a culture where other blacks target the ones trying to better themselves and improve.
Uncle Tom and playing white, you majority of the time hear blacks calling other blacks that. Whites and especially Asians have expectations on them to do better, blacks even if they have dedicated white parents have a social expectation outside of their home to STAY worse.
Democrats put fuel the fire, but we see black people tearing each other down all around the world.
SocraticMethod1 is just engaging in wishful thinking, like a liberal, that it's somebody else's fault - Democrats / the environment.
There's no example anywhere in the world of large groups of blacks even in good conditions being compatible with a thriving Western society.
Here's a counter example: the #1 factor in whether a neighborhood gets better or worse is the number of black residents. Higher than poverty, access to jobs, resources, hospitals - anything else. In other words, a wealthy all-black neighborhood is all but guaranteed to quickly go to shit. And these are kids with all the benefits of wealth and successful, smart parents and they still fail.
Democrats didn't create the "urban" morass, they just allowed it to happen by removing corporal punishment from schools and other things to try to impose Western-style civilization.
You're anchoring incorrectly.
Full nutrition allows your potential to be realized, but it doesn't raise the ceiling.
Starving in early developmental phases is catastrophic to mental and physical growth.
So if the broad Black cap is 110, that explains africas failure, nobody was well fed enough to reach even that bar.
If starvation drops you 35 points, eliminating starvation still the most leverage option to raise IQ. Even if it'd never going to push any black past 110.
