Because historically, craniometry and Social Darwinism were used to diminish women, blacks, and the lower classes, I have long found it incredibly inspirational that Oprah (a poor black girl from the rural South) grew up to rank so high on the two most Darwinian correlates of intelligence: brain size and money/power. And with the recent release of Forbes annual ranking of the 400 richest Americans, she is once again the only African American on the entire list, and with a net worth that briefly hit $3 billion, the first multibillionaire black in North American history. Don’t get me wrong, there have been two other black billionaires in North American history: BET founder Bob Johnson became a billionaire in 2001 when he sold BET though lost his Forbes billionaire status when a divorce reportedly split his fortune with wife Sheila Johnson and has almost never made the Forbes 400 since. Meanwhile here in Canada, we are all extremely proud of Michael Lee Chin who Forbes has ranked as a billionaire many times on their international rich list, though not lately. Although Lee Chin has two Chinese grandparents, he can be socially classified as black because his other grandparents are Jamaican. But neither Johnson or Lee Chin ever hit or exceeded the $3 billion mark on any of Forbes lists as Oprah just has. I figure $3 billion is the minimum net worth you need to be a multibillionaire. Dictionaries define a multimillionaire as someone having several million, so by extension, a multibillionaire is someone who has several billion.
If one excludes socially classified black billionaires, who are perhaps less than 50% sub-Saharan at the genetic level, Oprah was the only black billionaire on Earth from 2004 to 2006, in addition to being the most influential woman in the world according to Time magazine. However with rising oil prices, black billionaires and even multibillionaires have been emerging in Africa, so Oprah is no longer richest black black on Earth (even when “black” is defined narrowly).
” Meanwhile here in Canada, we are all extremely proud of Michael Lee Chin who Forbes has ranked as a billionaire many times on their international rich list, though not lately.”
why? Only because he’s rich?
Oprah is creative??
Compose poems, paint, write musics or books?? What the number of interventions she made to improve the quality of their television show??
Oprah is objetively smart??
Use their money to help other people, combat indiscriminated violence against whites in South Africa???
Oprah have basic (supposed, university level) knowledge about politics, biology, geography, history, maths??
She have greater abstract thinking??
In beggining of 90’s, ”Amerrruca” ”needs” a succesfull black people. Look at ” The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” series.
New amerrucan elite understand the very common bug of average mind about essence and appearence.
Black people with iq 70, acts normally, when asians and whites acts with clear mental retardation.
Oprah is not need have huge iq to act above their real cognitive capacity.
And i’m not use him as example because this pattern seems common among ”media”.

Dominating a field as competitive and improvisational as TV talk shows requires a lot of creativity, because every single day you have to say something fresh, amusing, spontaneous, funny, or your millions of viewers will switch channels to one of your many competitors. In many ways it’s the most expressive and dynamic art form there is:
Talk show hosts also need to come up with witty one-liners. For example, when a couple told Oprah they had sex on a golf course, she replied “any particular hole?” and the audience roared with laughter.
Oprah is objetively smart??
She’s objectively extremely high on the two most Darwinian correlates of intelligence which statistically predicts high intelligence:
http://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/multiple-regression-predicts-oprahs-iq-using-income-brain-size/
She also has a very high idea density, a measure of overall neurocognitive development:
http://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/oprahs-idea-density/
And she was a precocious toddler:
http://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/historiometric-estimate-of-oprahs-childhood-iq/
Use their money to help other people, combat indiscriminated violence against whites in South Africa???
Why the heck would she use her money to help whites when she’s black and thus evolved to help blacks who incidentally need the help far more. There are plenty of white billionaires who can help whites, beginning with Bill Gates who has far more money than even Oprah.
Oprah have basic (supposed, university level) knowledge about politics, biology, geography, history, maths??
Her social IQ and verbal IQ seem much higher than her math IQ and spatial IQ, so I doubt she knows much about math, biology or geography, especially since she was raised by very low education people and attended a very humble college in the South where she studied non-academic subjects like speech and drama.
She have greater abstract thinking??
Yup:
In beggining of 90’s, ”Amerrruca” ”needs” a succesfull black people. Look at ” The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” series.

Lena Dunham recently complained about misogyny, arguing that when a woman is successful, it can never just be because she’s talented; there always has to be seven other reasons. I think the same can be said about black people.
Black people with iq 70, acts normally, when asians and whites acts with clear mental retardation.
That’s true, and there are 3 possible reasons for this:
1) Because Asian IQ’s of 70 are so rare, it’s likely to be caused by some organic pathology, which strongly impairs all of intelligence, not just the most g loaded abilities, and may also affect physical coordination, speech, and appearance.
2) Black people have more outgoing personalities than non-black people and that makes up for a lot; although ironically Oprah’s actually an introvert which most people are shocked to learn, given her TV persona.
3) I suspect black people have higher social IQ (Theory of Mind) than non-blacks with equivalent g, but I have no proof.
You are right about it, but there two only two explanations about lack of objective morality of richer people.
Lack of greater self awareness (massive, very common unconsciousness, greater majority of humans have this deficit)
or
Sociopathic tendencies.
But, i can believe unconsciousness can be see as pseudo-sociopathy.
Oprah is very smart compared to blacks, smarter compared with many whites but intelligence is not only cognitive attributes because related very well with psychology profile. Only people who can be considered as ”pseudo-computer” are classical savants.
I think possible Oprah have slightly higher iq and its psychologic profile compensate.
Sorry, you see my english is poor, my (now) capacity to understand english hearing is worst.
What Oprah say in video about its abstract capacity?
Television show select smart people, but appearence like ”everyday this people talking in tv” (and with writers behind the scene), its personal fortune, can do people mistake the essence (real intelligence) and appearance ( super improved perception of its intelligence).
Tv and media is based in dirty game and political ideological (system) convenience all the time.
‘Compose poems, paint, write musics or books?? What the number of interventions she made to improve the quality of their television show??’
ya try revolutionized an entire medium you dumb motherfucker.
‘Oprah is objetively smart??’
judging by what you think creativity is, you dont know what ‘smart’ is, either.
‘She have greater abstract thinking??’
lol greater than you for sure.
What’s creature???
The word DEBATE mean something to you honey??
”ya try revolutionized an entire medium you dumb motherfucker.”
(ya, pfffff, prole)
bubububububububububububu
”judging by what you think creativity is, you dont know what ‘smart’ is, either.”
Prejudice in these days????
Judging??
No honey, you don’t judge, you don’t have cognitive capacity (histeric personality disorder) to do it.
”lol greater than you for sure.”
This guy (or girl, or trans, or whatever) don’t know who i’m and think know what is
creativity
intelligence
or
judgement capacity
No, i’m sure that she’s not have greater abstract thinking than me.
Groupie stupid.
sick comeback…ripping off my insults. the woman practically invented a genre of television and you’re asking us to demonstrate how she’s creative….the only appropriate answer is laughter.
Could the rise in iq among African Americans be due to moving into an environment where intelligence was valued? Between 1620 to 1965, being nerdy and crafty would have been advantage, especially if the alternative is dying at 30.
The selective pressure for intelligence would have been as high or even higher than any race probably faced since this racism was, at its heart , not just a social prejudice, but also physical, and the only way to overcome such strong hate would be through increased intelligence.
Evolution virtually never works anywhere near that fast, with the theoretical exception of dysgenics, which is theoretically accelerated because you’re sliding backwards, not climbing up:
http://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/could-genetic-iq-really-have-declined-so-much-so-quickly/
In that respect, were the Jews forced into banking by occupational laws like Cochran said or was it the result of having a increasingly high iq genetic frequencies as the result of strong selective pressures?
If it were the result of the latter, then American blacks would be as smart as the ashkenazi if Jim crow lasted centuries.
I think being forced into banking was the selection pressure.
Oprah is def. a lot smarter than I thought
Oprah made her money as an entertainer. Plenty of entertainers have gotten rich with pedestrian IQ’s. They’re selling personality not brains. Oprah made a career of chatting with guests for an audience of average intelligence. If she were too smart they wouldn’t watch her. Now, she’s probably at least a standard deviation or more above her audience. But I’d say it’s her social intelligence that got her where she is.
name some entertainers who have gotten comparably rich with “pedestrian” IQs.
HATE fans!!!!
That’s you never will, lolololololololol
COHERENT sentences!
that’s you’ll never make, lolololololol

True, but personality without brains to go with it is not very entertaining for very long. And brains can fake a good personality; harder for personality to fake brains.

Hmmmm, you down your voice tone, good.
I asked to Pumpkinperson if he think about Oprah’s creativity, i don’t assert nothing, but what Destructure said very well, the level its creativity is not high enough to Oprah be considered as creative genius.
I don’t argue Oprah is dumb, but i think she’s not this social genius as you thinking. I’m not arguing all black woman don’t deserve be admired by its conquests, if its conquest have great and positive impact in social, cultural, economic … sphere.
The black teacher of public school in California deny certain ”absolute truths” about certain ”historical events” made more about objective morality and national harmony than Oprah during its entire life.
I asked why Oprah don’t use its influence to show to great audience about white genocide happen in South Africa and in all western hemisphere, because if she had this kind of attitude in fact she would showing greater empathy to people who are genetically distant and have negative opinions about its own race, black race.
But, i continue with my hypothesis about her, not so higher iq with greater cognitive empathy (but not objective empathy) probably because she is unconscious about real facts around the world as majority of humans are too.
your assessment is based on nothing but you talking out of your ass.
bububububububububububu
Prole people luv dirt words.
Higher level of readers in this blog, higher HISTERICAL levels. :=)
feel free to support yourself with reasons at any time.
Only if Pumpkinperson acept this possibility, you not.

LAUGH ABOUT ILITERATE BLACK.
RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

duh.
R-A-C-I-S-T MOTHERFUCKA!!!!!!!
