>Black cognitive inferiority is not whitey's fault. by definition, lower order intellects struggle with abstract thinking e.g. moral reasoning, future time orientation, impulse control
Point out where I ever mention cognitive capacities or shifted blame to any group outside of American liberalism. Furthermore, intellects are not grouped into "orders", higher lower or otherwise, and "future time orientation" isn't even a real thing. I think you mean foresight.
>I agree that African American culture promotes anti-intellectualism and violent behavior, but culture and biology are inextricably intertwined.
That's a dangerously broad statement that implies more than you have laid the groundwork for. Black culture is a reflection of broken families spiraling around damaged masculinity. During segregation and real systemic racism it was the men that took the hardest hit, and black culture is marked by that.
>transracial adoption studies and surveys of blacks in upper income households demonstrate that they typically remain incompetent buffoons with poor test scores
I've seen studies go both ways (pic related) and I've seen both sides refuted and supported until it became clear that the studies reflected very little of the truth.
I'm not really a Petersonfag, but he did an interview with a black guy where he stated that he saw the academic scores of various groups at a school that showed white females testing highest, followed by white males, followed by ethnic minority females and ethnic minority males were on the bottom. And, being a psychologist, he wondered why that was, but, being someone that actually cares about people and not some ideological pseud, he looked towards the environmental factors rather than writing it off as a genetic shortcoming. Anyways he applied his self authoring program to the ethnic minority males and within the span of a few years that group was scoring the same as the white females. Because the self authoring program gave them an opportunity to reflect, to set goals, and to establish personal plans to attain those goals. It worked so well he considered making it more accessible to black youth, but didn't know how to go about doing that in good taste. Of course I'm paraphrasing, but that sounds like such simple things, but most impoverished youth don't have that sort of opportunity, or a father who would generally engage that mind frame.
Look up Peterson's vid with Someblackguy if you give a damn. Happens somewhere in the first half hour or so.
"genetics" is a cop-out if you can't approach the issues with the complexity they demand

>Herrnstein and Murray were criticized for not submitting their work to peer review before publication, despite presenting it as a scholarly work.[4][7] Many scholarly reviews of the book arrived later. Richard Lynn (1999) wrote that "The book has been the subject of several hundred critical reviews, a number of which have been collected in edited volumes".
>the book "contains no new arguments and presents no compelling data to support its anachronistic social Darwinism" and said that the "authors omit facts, misuse statistical methods, and seem unwilling to admit the consequence of their own words."[5]
>"There is certainly no such support for a genetic interpretation...It is sometimes suggested that the Black/White differential in psychometric intelligence is partly due to genetic differences (Jensen, 1972). There is not much direct evidence on this point, but what little there is fails to support the genetic hypothesis"
ok

woops, sorry I'm late we have people visiting.
anyways,

>race is esstenitally a real thing

Roberts, Dorothy (2011). Fatal Invention. London, New York: The New Press. "The genetic differences that exist among populations are characterized by gradual changes across geographic regions, not sharp, categorical distinctions. Groups of people across the globe have varying frequencies of polymorphic genes, which are genes with any of several differing nucleotide sequences. There is no such thing as a set of genes that belongs exclusively to one group and not to another. The clinal, gradually changing nature of geographic genetic difference is complicated further by the migration and mixing that human groups have engaged in since prehistory. Human beings do not fit the zoological definition of race. A mountain of evidence assembled by historians, anthropologists, and biologists proves that race is not and cannot be a natural division of human beings."

Harrison, Guy (2010). Race and Reality. Amherst: Prometheus Books. "Race is a poor empirical description of the patterns of difference that we encounter within our species. The billions of humans alive today simply do not fit into neat and tidy biological boxes called races. Science has proven this conclusively. The concept of race (...) is not scientific and goes against what is known about our ever-changing and complex biological diversity."
