In math terms, the comparison of how much two individuals know is, at best, a partial ordering. It is possible to say that one knows everything which another knows, but it is also possible (and almost always) that two are not comparable. That is, each knows something the other doesn't. Comparability is much more likely for a fixed subject. In mathematics, most sciences and IQ (as we measure), I would put myself ahead of Obama. I don't hesitate to believe that there are areas he knows more than me.
How am I supposed to know that? Does it matter? Why continue to make a big deal of it? It's far in the past, and it seems to me he has acquitted himself of any suspicion of unworthiness quite nicely, simply going by the public record. We all know that acceptance is not based solely on grades and test scores.
..speculating that Obama did not get into Harvard on merit is certainly legitimate
How is it someone that graduated from Harvard with the exceptional honors that Obama did, is not be qualified to get in??? Where is the proof he got in on affirmative action anyway? Isn't this just another of the racist talking points we heard from the tea party about his birth certificate???
You don't seem to get an obvious point. What Obama did 2-3 years after he was accepted at Harvard is not valid....
"supremacist" a person who promotes or advocates the supremacy of any particular group
From our past conversations I know that you are not a white supremacist you think you are far more intelligent then 95% of the human race
I think that Dr Sanders failed to take into account just how many non minority students have a huge advantage in thier entry exams in that they probably have access to the exams prior to taking them, just one of the benefits that non minority students have over minority students. I just look at ex-President Bush how could he have got into the same school you went to "Yale" and then how could he have graduated.
If SAT's are used to determine who gets in and who does not it appears that maybe just maybe some people get in because their daddies had contacts that normal more deserving students did not have.
Why should money or daddy ever determine who gets into our best universities any more then other factor?
how do you know the commitee that decided to enroll obama didn't take these years into consideration?
gee because his grades at harvard were earned after he was admitted
..why do poor whites do better on such tests than even wealthy blacks (who tended to be the majority of blacks who got into Yale with AA)
Yeah, moby, sure, whatever you say. You moby's always seem to drop little clues which reveal your act. For instance, to left-wing hacks, everyone to the right of moderate is FAR-RIGHT whereas to a conservative, a FAR-RIGHT person is someone who is, you know, far to the right, so far right that they are seen as extremist and don't have much overlap with conservatives and libertarians.
So tell us, Mr. ex-Far Right Man, what was your membership # in the John Birch Society?
yeah, and I was a liberal once. then I grew up and had to get a job and pay taxes.
Calling someone a racist is a personal attack that should not be tolerated especially since nothing RD has said indicates he is a racist. Pointing out facts-even if they are disturbing to those who excuse certain cultural pathologies-is not racist
are you suggesting that white people are intellectually superior to black people?
it sure looks like you're about to jump off that cliff.
..a group that is two generations removed from mass genocide produce dozens of phi beta kappas each year at all the top universities...
lolwut? You guys got a new name for insulting those that disagree with you? And where did it come from--the Sean Hannity show? But I digress. Resorting to personal insults is a clear sign of being unwilling, or unable, to refute an opposing view.
I did the same, and it only solidified my new views. What's your point?
We are clearly reading different threads, then. You and Riverdad have dug yourselves a very deep hole, and you (plural) don't seem to be getting out of it any time soon.
that's just proof that IQ tests aren't accurate measures of intelligence. I mean, you think that Democrats are socialists, wealthy people who support tax hikes are part of a conspiracy theory to get poor voters and now it's clear that you think white people are inherently more intelligent than blacks. go figure.I hate to upset you but I am more intelligent than 95% of the human race. actually based on IQ scores and a score of 1570 (circa 1975) SAT Its more like 99% of the human race.
why do poor whites do better on such tests than even wealthy blacks (who tended to be the majority of blacks who got into Yale with AA)
only a small percentage of Jewish-Americans are descended from Holocaust survivors.
so your comparison sucks.
are you suggesting that white people are intellectually superior to black people?
it sure looks like you're about to jump off that cliff.
...Nothing RD has posted is evidence of racism.
..
I note "racist" is a term the left throws around when they are losing arguments or...
Actually, RD admitted that he thinks whites are genetically predisposed to being more intelligent than blacks. That's called racism, but since you probably agree with him and supporters of racism rarely admit that they support racism, you probably won't understand why calling blacks inherently less intelligent than whites is racist.the only hole appears to be a figment of your imagination. Nothing RD has posted is evidence of racism.

Don't dodge his question. Try addressing it directly. Coward.

why do blacks who attend elite prep schools fail to achieve the same scores as whites from mediocre public schools?..

don't know if that's even true, don't know why if it is, but to comment I would need to study it myself and not take your word for it since you're consistently full of ****.why do blacks who attend elite prep schools fail to achieve the same scores as whites from mediocre public schools? I have argued its cultural rather than genetic inferiority consistently
