Low IQ rhetoric
The low IQ rhetoric is an agenda pushed by racist eugenics scientists like Richard Lynn, a psychologist and Tatu Vanhanen a Finnish political scientist. These claims relied on non verbal reasoning tests like Ravens progressive matrices, vocabulary assessments and basic school achievement exams but the results were misleading because these tests do not measure fixed or innate intelligence but measured formal education and familiarity with specific testing formats, even when the tests did not use words. Importantly, when they carried out the analysis, they reviewed over 100 published studies and it was later found that the bigots used selective data and ignored data from africans with high tests scores, used tiny and unrepresentative samples like testing a few dozen people from a village somewhere and claiming that it was a representation of a whole nation. Not surprising. Some of the social issues that try to argue is that the low IQ predicts violence, wealth, economic development among other outcomes so one of his conclusions was that higher intelligence = more civilized/less violent societies. But if that argument is true, then european history creates an enormous problem because they are the same people who designed auschwitz, chemical weapons, strategic bombing campaigns, 2 world wars, wars of conquest and religious warfare within europe itself and so on. I mean how intelligent does a society have to be before it stops producing extraordinary sophisticated ways of killing people. When something sounds fishy, always look it up. The aim is and has always been to create a social ladder that keeps black people and especially Africans at the bottom of the ladder and dehumanize us so as to justify the crimes committed against us.
