I often listen to classic rock radio stations. Once in awhile I hear "Livin' on the Edge" by Aerosmith, and think about why they inserted the following lyrics: "If you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin, then, mister, you're a better man than I." The song came out in 1993, so this was prior to the Bell Curve brouhaha. Rushton was publishing articles on the issue, but I doubt Rock-n-Rollers would know anything about that. Too busy snorting coke and screwing groupies. Maybe the band was simply responding to the stereotype that blacks are unintelligent.
So, are they right about choosing wise men? In one way, I would answer yes. All races are made up of mostly unwise people. If you have two random people, one black and one white, and you guess the white one is the wise one, you're likely to be wrong. Chances are, they're both ordinary.
On the other hand in choosing the white guy, you'd be less likely to be wrong. If we were to set the cutoff for wiseness at an IQ of 115, for example, there is a 16% chance you'd be right with the white guy, but you've only got a 2.5% probability with the black guy. In other words, you're 6.4 times more likely to guess right by betting on the white person.
The Left calls us racists, but the truth seems to be that they are the people who think in absolutes and categories, and we're the guys who didn't sleep through stats class and so know a little something about probability.

You should see how my friend Wesley Virgin's biography launches in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the exact same methods lots of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this expression has even occurred IN YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain about seven years ago, while riding an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm very frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally make it?"
You took part in those types of thoughts, am I right?
Your own success story is waiting to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
