OK, I saw a FoxNews story that claimed blacks are 'stronger' than whites. Is that better?
Oh, here it is:
White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University-led study finds.

Soooooooooo, if blacks and whites are genetically different, as this Cornell study claims, where do those differences end?

We haven't even determined if black propensity toward violence has anything to do with race. It may be cultural, but I have my doubts. Probably a little of both.
I guess a simple way to determine if it's more genetic than cultural would be to examine african populations throughout the world and see if there are any similarities to what we observe in the US. Would you agree that at least some important info could be gathered by doing so?

Yes, I reckon they could be. But they have studied this more than either of us have and are far more qualified to make a determination than either of us. The reality is that we, at some point, have to rely on the findings of colleges and scientists to a fairly high degree. It's gotten us pretty far in the last few centuries.
I don't understand your question.Then again, could be differences in lesser amount than between MOST men and MOST women. Are we back on the changing of military standards now?

Genetics between men and women differ, you've noticed I presume? Most men have more muscle than MOST women. Doesn't mean there aren't the exceptions.
Same could be true to some degree between race or ethnicity. It's tricky though. Are Asians really smarter or is that cultural? Height is one of those things that seem more genetic than culture, yet Americans of all races and ethnic groups tend towards the high end historically. So while some groups are taller for Americans, within certain groups even the 'short folks' tend to be taller. Diet seems the culprit with that one.
As for studying the issues under discussion, I've a BA in sociology from U of Chicago. Thus the earlier mind fart about working on MA in such, since it certainly seems that over the past 30 years, not much has been studied regarding SES and crime via race.

I suggested earlier that some examining of black behavior worldwide might shed more light on how much of their actions are genetic and how much is cultural.
From what I've seen, asians are the smartest race of humans. Whites are slightly behind them, then hispanics with blacks holding up the rear.

Nope, I posted the DoJ stats for blacks being 7 times more homicidally inclined. If you were paying attention you would know that. But that would be expecting far too much from you. Sorry, I won't dumb down my posts just so you can be included. However, I hear that there is a Sesame Street forum. Seems perfect for beginners like you.
Mmmmm, no. I have stats for all of my claims, except for the crappy music one. Anyone who knows the slightest bit about music wouldn't need a link for that one. Soooo, I guess we know what that says about you.and they are instead, your opinion of black people. We get it. Now go pollute some other board.

In addition, says paleoanthropologist John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin, the current study might be obscuring a contribution of Neandertal genes to the African gene pool, because the team specifically looked to explain genetic diversity in non-Africans compared with Africans. He and his colleagues are currently working on a way to assess that possibility.
