I don't think any 1 race are by nature dumber or smarter than any other first off. Secondly race is but 1 way to sort IQ. Lastly, we're talking Bell Curves which are all over top of each other when IQ is broken out like that.
It only fans the flames of racial tensions if you're speaking in absolutes about 100% of a race vs 100% of another race in terms of superiority and inferiority. That's certainly not where I'm going with IQ and I don't believe anyone else is either, but you'd have to ask them.
What bothers me about the response to Nick Cannon is more the immediate "What he said is Anti-Semitic!" and that being the sole focus and him being fired for that. Which leads one to believe "Well had he just stuck to white folk everything would be a-ok" and it would also "fan the flames" of the whole "Jewish people control everything"....Again, I don't think Nick Cannon actually meant any evilness by it, I'd rather enjoy if people openly discussed their dumb ideas they haven't fully thought out instead of hiding. I don't think Nick meant anything maliciously, I think he was just talking to Prof. Griff and well, that's a topic that'll be discussed by Griff (if anyone knows him). All that to say, what Nick said was by no means "nice", but I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't think he should be able to spout off about whatever. There should be no 3rd rail in open friendly discussion.
Dwayne Wade giving his support is odd....Dwayne Wade having a trans child is likewise odd. I mean it's a different world I guess when you're that wealthy.
