Currently, the 1.1 standard deviation difference in average IQ between Blacks
and Whites in the United States is not in itself a matter of empirical dispute.
Standard deviation in the distribution of IQ scores in the population is 15.
And he was implying that blacks have lower IQ than whites. Which they do.
Again - education plays a role. Minorities in large part have not had access to a decent education. Using that as a way to create racial division is not a wise idea. It's simply RACIST. Why do you want to DIVIDE? Even if all your information is dead on accurate, why would you bring up the issue? If you're worried about the problem, it's a poor education system overall. IQ has NOTHING to do with RACE.

You're implying that races other than whites have lower IQ's? Where is your statistical evidence? Your dad?

One highlight:
Standard deviation in the distribution of IQ scores in the population is 15.
And he was implying that blacks have lower IQ than whites. Which they do.
Here is more meta-research

And of course, predictably, Ivy-League NPCs at Scientific American ask Should Research on Race and IQ Be Banned?

Because if all my information is accurate, it is the truth.
Sorry, but the research is conclusive. How you feel about something does not change reality.

The research that poor education contributes to poor IQ you mean?

Sorry, but twin studies have shown a heritability coefficient of >80%.
