In the age of MRIs, a new form of art is emerging. Capturing the brains of people at their most intimate moments, like this mother and child:
(credit: Rebecca Saxe and Atsushi Takahashi / Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, MIT / Athinoula A. Martinos Imaging Center at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, MIT)
But the ultimate brain scan art would be if Oprah posed intimately with other luminaries, since Oprah’s arguably both the biggest brained member of both her race and her gender and the most successful member of both her race and her gender. The MRI scan could be displayed in the Oprah Winfrey wing of the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The reason brain size tripled in 4 million years of evolution is that our bigger brained ancestors were not only smart enough to help themselves survive and prosper, but also their tribe.
Oprah helped her tribe just by being such a visible example of success for so long, but also by building the most beautiful school in Africa and by using her incredible influence to elect a black President who brought health care to millions of the working poor.
For the first time in history, hundreds of millions of blacks could see themselves in the most powerful and prestigious job on Earth and this changed the trajectory of their lives. Millions of people of all races, for the first time in their lives saw that a black could be king of the World and stopped seeing blacks as inferior.
And not only was the king of the World black for eight wonderful years, but SO WAS HIS WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A black woman was First Lady. And not just any black woman, but a homegirl who liked to shoot basketball and give people fist bumps. For the first time on a global level, this unique brand of black femininity was validated at the highest level. Millions of blacks were validated because she reminded them of their auntie and the type of everyday black woman they saw on the bus.
As the former editor of the Harvard Law Review, President Obama probably thinks he was the mastermind behind his and Michelle’s success, but I suspect the real brains was the woman with the World’s largest black brain:

But coming from poverty, sexual abuse, and a very humble college, Oprah worships the Ivy League Obamas like brilliant black Gods, not realizing she was the true Genius behind their throne.

“The reason brain size tripled in 4 million years of evolution is that our bigger brained ancestors were not only smart enough to help themselves survive and prosper, but also their tribe.”
Cooking, fire, calories, etc. You always fail to bring this up. Caloric energy is the driver of evolution.
“but a homegirl who liked to shoot basketball and give people fist bumps”
So professional.
“but SO WAS HIS WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
His wife is an idiot who thinks exercise leads to weight loss.
“Millions of people of all races, for the first time in their lives saw that a black could be king of the World and stopped seeing blacks as inferior.”
Obama is a mullato.
Race realist is right about Obama being mixed. It lessens the achievement.
His mother is also white. Intelligence comes from the mother.
Source ?
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0079200
I meant a source that says that genes of intelligence are transmitted by the mother, and how it happens.
http://upliftconnect.com/intelligence-inherited-mothers/
I hate when articles never cite a paper. I will look for the paper cited in this article based off of what I heard read of it in the above link.
Basically, they say that intelligence genes are located on the X chromosome so it would be only true for boys since girls receive an X chromosome from their father.
This particular article looks like some real amateur pop science but I’m curious about some actual scientific papers.
After all, Obama is fine but he’s by no means the greatest “black” person in the world’s history. And neither is Oprah.

Cooking, fire, calories, etc. You always fail to bring this up. Caloric energy is the driver of evolution.
But if being smart wasn’t so crucial to our success, all that caloric energy would have gone to big muscles instead of big brains.
You can either have brains or brawns. You cannot have both. Gorillas have brains smaller than their bodies, their bodies are the outliers, not our brain, etc
There is a metabolic tradeoff. For instance, eating plant based diet like gorillas do, they need to eat 8 to 10 hours a day. The energy they consume goes towards bigger bodies. They get selected for bigger bodies for mate competition, and their diet is also why their bodies are so large.
Cooking softened food, allowing for our jaw muscles to weaken and our brain to expand in size. Without the advent of cookies we would not be here.
Pp please read Herculano-Houzel’s book. You will love it. It is only 230 pages.

I probably would.
“Without oxygen we wouldn’t be here either, so I don’t get the cooking obsession.”
Cooking is the prime mover of brain growth in the last 1.8 to 2 million years. There are so many reasons why fire and cooking expanded our brains. It is fascinating. Yea Lucy was the first hominid to have a bipedal pelvis, and that’s where brain size started increasing but brain size doubled in erectus and cooking is the cause.
“There are so many reasons why fire and cooking expanded our brains.”
Like what?
Pumpkin ever thought about making a post about the disassociativ3?abilities the brain possesses when faced with trauma? Or if that’s too dark now that you don’t do horror themed posts anymore. How bout a post about the brains “hidden features” like how naps thruout the day benefit the body more than just one long sleep, or how hypnotism can allow someone the mental toughness to walk on hot coals.
I’ve heard great things about polyphasic sleeping. I’m all. About maximizing free time, so I’ll try it eventually and report back.
Cardiovascular fitness and cognitive ability are correlated at age 18. A change in physical achievement at age 15 predicted cognitive ability at age 18. Cardiovascular fitness is associated with cognition in young adulthood.

I’m currently adapting to the uberman
Yea? How long have you tried it for? Any negative/positive effects?
A few weeks now I’m slowly learning to adapt. If u want to try it start off with just setting up your alarm on your phone every time your tired. Sleep for 20 minutes alarm wakes you up rinse and repeat. I took 12 naps in a row doing this. I only had 4 hours of sleep but damnit if it didn’t feel like 12, and I was extremely alert with no grogginess. Only difficulty is sleeping they the alarm or if you have a girlfriend that wants you to sleep with her.

My reaction to this post:
PP are you an aspiring comedian ?
Deal, on a 1 to 10 scale how attractive do you find this guy ?
Hard to say from that angle
Give a rough guess, please
You do realize at the point at the end of Oprah’s head is her hair and not her head, right? The hair makes it seem ‘bigger’ than it really is.
Look more carefully. The horizontal measurement is below the ponytail.
In the last third of the video, the inventor says her headband uses holography to see how infrared light scatters off brain cells to measure brainwaves. She says it is possible in the near future to get the resolution of a single brain cell.
LOL, PP just wrote that Oprah has the world’s largest black brain.
ROFL!
Aliko Dangote (Nigeria)
Richest black man in the world
Net worth: $15bn
He looks white
You need an ophthalmologist bro.
He’s Nigerian of Hausa ethnicity.
From 2004 to 2006 Oprah was the World’s ONLY black billionaire
She must have been very bad at managing her money because she has been surpassed by about 10 younger Africans and by a large margin for some of them.
And if you consider purchasing parity instead of nominal exchange rate there have always been dozens of Africans who were richer than Oprah.
Actually as of 2016, only 3 blacks worldwide are richer than Oprah and one of them isn’t black
http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2016/03/01/the-black-billionaires-2016/#11f1126a30a8
Think in Purchasing power parity, they don’t own their assets in dollars but in low value currency.
She can move her money to Africa anytime
Then her wealth as much value as the currency of the country she chooses to invest in and she would soon disappear from the worldwide billionaire club.
If african currency drops then the african billionaires would disappear from the club too
There is more than one currency in Africa, you know it ? The Ultra-rich of Africa are business magnates, not showbiz celebrities, they directly control their source of income instead of relying on investment banking.
There is more than one currency in Africa, you know it ?
Of course.
The Ultra-rich of Africa are business magnates, not showbiz celebrities, they directly control their source of income instead of relying on investment banking.
What’s your point?
Bank deposits aren’t as liquid as stocks, and you can’t directly control the investment strategy. You only receive X% of Y amount for a specified number of years. A business magnate can sell his stocks immediately and invest in another country or change his company’s director.
If Oprah is not promoting her “EGIs” by investing her wealth in Africa, it’s because it’s against her personal financial interests.
Bank deposits aren’t as liquid as stocks, and you can’t directly control the investment strategy.
So invest in stocks instead
A business magnate can sell his stocks immediately
And sink the value of them in the process.
and invest in another country
So can any billionaire
“So invest in stocks instead”
If Oprah invests in Africa, she’ll have to live in the country of her investments. If she stays in the US, she will be penalized by decreasing exchange rates. But Oprah can’t really make money out of the US because she’s not really famous overseas.
“And sink the value of them in the process.”
No, because foreign investors love to take advantage of a country’s decreasing exchange rate to take control over big companies.
“So can any billionaire”
Depends on the liquidity of their assets.
If Oprah invests in Africa, she’ll have to live in the country of her investments. If she stays in the US, she will be penalized by decreasing exchange rates.
Not if the African country’s currency improves relative to America’s. Not if she buys stock in American companies investing in Africa.
But Oprah can’t really make money out of the US because she’s not really famous overseas.
You can live in Africa and make money in the U.S.

You just said Americans lose money investing in Africa because of the exchange rate.
“So can any billionaire”
Depends on the liquidity of their assets.
Oprah’s assets are more liquid than most billionaires because her talk show was paid hundreds of millions a years by advertisers, not by owning a company that increased in stock value.
“Not if the African country’s currency improves relative to America’s. ”
Which is almost impossible given the inflation rates, trade deficits and economic instability.
“Not if she buys stock in American companies investing in Africa.”
Then her stocks will have a nominal value in USD, that’s not anymore considered FDI.
“You can live in Africa and make money in the U.S.”
Yes, bit that’s not what she’s doing. Her business operations are based in the US and she seems to control them directly. She’d literally have to live on planes if she wanted to live in say Nigeria, South Africa would really be too far away.
“You just said Americans lose money investing in Africa because of the exchange rate.”
Big firms don’t care about short term profits, they’re interested in gaining market share. For instance, if the Nigerian Naira further shrinks and Dangote realizes that it truly harms his investment yields, French cement group Lafarge will buy his stocks at the highest price to gain control of Nigeria’s cement market.
As for the liquidity of Oprah’s assets it appears that she’s a Warren Buffet style investor. She has interests in a variety of companies. But her $3bn could hardly make her a majority shareholder in any of Africa’s big companies.
“Not if the African country’s currency improves relative to America’s. ”
Which is almost impossible given the inflation rates, trade deficits and economic instability.
Then African billionaires shouldn’t invest in Africa either.

Not in this day of video conferencing. And she has a private jet so living on a plane is fun.

For instance, if the Nigerian Naira further shrinks and Dangote realizes that it truly harms his investment yields, French cement group Lafarge will buy his stocks at the highest price to gain control of Nigeria’s cement market.
Then his wealth isn’t liquid. He has to remain a major share holder in his company if he wants to keep that option.
“Then African billionaires shouldn’t invest in Africa either.”
Africa is the hardest hit continent in terms of capital flight. Most of Africa’s wealth is hidden in tax heavens. Africans domestically invest in sectors that are relatively safe from foreign competition, it allows them to make some profits but the opportunities are scarce.
“So? ”
So she’s not investing in Africa. Her company’s securities are traded in USD in US financial markets.
“Not in this day of video conferencing. And she has a private jet so living on a plane is fun.”
What a boring life… Perpetual jet lag, videoconferencing in the middle of the night.
“Then his wealth isn’t liquid. He has to remain a major share holder in his company if he wants to keep that option.”
It is, he sells in stocks at a price that compensate for the exchange rate decreases, puts his money in Switzerland or invests in Cameroon for a while and reinvests profits in Nigeria when the exchange rate and macroeconomic prospects are on the rise again.

So she’s not investing in Africa. Her company’s securities are traded in USD in US financial markets.

Well that’s why he he’s the World’s richest black, but Oprah held the title before him, in addition to being the World’s most influential woman.
“She’d be investing indirectly”
So that’s not FDI. She would own an American company that has assets in Africa, but it remains an USD investment.
“You have a bed on a private jet and you’re on the internet all the time. ”
Have you ever traveled out of your time zone ? Jet lag is exhausting.
And I’m an insomniac, I doubt oprah would appreciate to have my sleep issues.

He’s a bit younger and from a poorer country with much fewer wealth building opportunities.

HBDers would argue it’s much harder to get rich in America because you’re competing against much smarter people
“it still helps africa”
We’re not talking about Oprah’s ethnic genetic interests, we’re talking about what her ranking would be if she owned African currency assets.
“Have you traveled by private jet? It can be comfortable.”
What is exhausting is leaving from Lagos, Nigeria at 10pm and arriving to Chicago and it’s still 10pm of the same day. You might have slept all along the flight but when you arrive, your biological clock thinks morning when everybody’s going to sleep. And if you do that once or twice a week, it becomes unbearable.
”
HBDers would argue it’s much harder to get rich in America because you’re competing against much smarter people”
Normal people would say it is more difficult to be rich in a country with small market size, civil war, political instability, corruption, terrorism, macroeconomic instability…

But there are also incredible natural resources
“Not sure why it matters”
Because it would affect the real value of her assets. And that’s where her EGI fade away.
“But there are also incredible natural resources”
Which are exploited by foreign companies and corrupt governments. But there are probably huge amounts of African wealth illegally held offshore. Natural resources in poor countries are a curse, not a blessing.
If this man was a drug dealer, you’d say he’s black.
But he looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Semitic:
http://www.ethiogrio.com/thumbnail.php?file=mohammed_al_amoudi140_234558315.jpg&size=article_large
His mother is black, but Ethiopian black, which means she’s half Caucasoid, which means he’s only about a quarter black genetically.
What is a black gene ?
What is a black gene ?
Who said anything about a black gene, but you can identify someone’s ancestry from their genes
“Who said anything about a black gene”
You said he’s one quarter black genetically. Assuming Saudi are 100% middle eastern in ancestry, which isn’t true the have significant African inputs.
“but you can identify someone’s ancestry from their genes”
He’s Saudi-Ethiopian, we know it without a genetic scan.
An US cop wouldn’t hesitate one second before shooting him if he found his behavior “suspicious”.
An US cop wouldn’t hesitate one second before shooting him if he found his behavior “suspicious”.
People who look Middle Eastern look suspicious in the West
Be serious, he doesn’t look like an Arab, he looks like a Brazilian or like many Black Americans.
You can tell he has some black ancestry but you can also tell he has some Middle Eastern ancestry. His facial features are very Semitic.
His nose is semitic, the rest is typically Mulatto.
if he weren’t a drug dealer i’d say he’s black.
is he s asian?
no!
so he’s black, even if his native language is arabic.
arab != a race.
it’s hopeless. at 54-64 afro will just be a clone of lagarde. except he’ll have a chin.
this is what marx never spoke of afaik. the bourgeois and the proletariat both want their false consciousness. it isn’t imposed. it’s chosen.
Anyway, the gist of these collected DNA studies is that Ethiopians are about 40% Caucasian, and are genetically a little more closely related to Mediterranean Caucasian groups like Berbers and Arabs than Western Africans, as is shown by this twig map. The actual amount of admixture varies from one group to another, but 40% is the average of all these samples. There is a Y chromosome study here that goes into more detail.
https://mathildasanthropologyblog.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/caucasian-africans/
Ok, so let’s say he’s 20% Caucasian by his mother and 45% Caucasian by he’s Father. So he’s 65% Caucasian as a whole. He’s a Brazilian Mulatto basically.
Ok, so let’s say he’s 20% Caucasian by his mother and 45% Caucasian by he’s Father. So he’s 65% Caucasian as a whole.
WTF? 20 and 45 don’t average to 65. And Ethiopians have 40% Caucasoid ancestry not 20%. And his father was probably more than 95% Caucasoid. That makes him 62.5% Caucasoid.
40% of 50 is 20, 90% of 50 is 45. Mother = 50% Father = 50% child = 100%. 65% Caucasian child.
Well, I’ve actually seen that his father was a Saudi of Yemeni ancestry (Hadhrami) which means he could be only 70-80% Caucasian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Hussein_Al_Amoudi#Personal_life
Hadhrami people
Looking like Brazilians.
Anyway, the gist of these collected DNA studies is that Ethiopians are about 40% Caucasian, and are genetically a little more closely related to Mediterranean Caucasian groups like Berbers and Arabs than Western Africans, as is shown by this twig map.
If their 40% white and 60 % black how can they be more closer geneticaly to whites?
It’s not what the quote says, it says Ethiopians have more affinity to Mediterraneans than do west Africans. You understood that they cluster closer to Meds than to west Africans.
Anyway, I’ve just realized that this semitic Brazilian looks just like my Half Haitian-Half Moroccan Jewish future son.
According to RR, This guy also owes his success to his Ethiopian maternal genetic endowment.
I wouldn’t mind the systematic whitewashing of black success if we also whitewashed black failure and stopped presenting all the mulatto thugs and favela dwellers as blacks.
It’s not what the quote says, it says Ethiopians have more affinity to Mediterraneans than do west Africans. You understood that they cluster closer to Meds than to west Africans.
Yes , i am in agreement with you. that quote doesnt make sense…it says they have more black in them 60% than white 40% then it says they are more white???
The author must lack the verbal IQ to present things in a less confuse way.
This is all funny…
Ethiopians and Arabs are white when it comes to their (Ethiopians and Arabs) achievements , but not when it comes to Europeans achievements….
carry on….
Yeah, the Arab terrorists are psychopatic half-breeds and the starving Ethiopians are incapable niggers. But when an hybrid of the two manages to do something a bit remarkable, he suddenly has “minimal African ancestry”.
“According to RR, This guy also owes his success to his Ethiopian maternal genetic endowment.”
What’s I say?
Lol, never mind I was just being picky.
Not saying she’s the world’s smartest black, but arguably her brain is literally largest, at least when she was in the peak age group
Well I guess your unsubstantiated aren’t even worth a debate.
PP how did you compare her brain with all the people in SS africa? Do you think you might have missed someone who had gone of to the toilet or something and that person is the one with “literraly” the largest brain?
PP how did you compare her brain with all the people in SS africa?
Statistical extrapolation. Further, the World’s biggest brained black is almost certainly not in Africa because even elite Africans don’t reach their genetic potential because of sub-optimum nutrition and living standards.
do you know that the black guy with one of the highest IQ’s in the world is from africa 190
Do you beleive oprahs iq is greater than 190?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Emeagwali
I didn’t say Oprah is the World’s smartest black; brain size and success are only very rough proxies for IQ. I don’t know anything about Philip Emeagwali so can’t comment on the accuracy of his reported IQ.
There are about 800 million blacks in Africa, half of them are adults.
There are 40 million African Americans, About 28 millions are adults, which is 7% of the number of adults in Africa. Are the top 7% richest Africans worst fed and unhealthy thant the African American mean ? I really doubt. One proxy: there are more black billionaires, multimillionaires, doctors or university teachers in Africa than in the US.
The most intelligent black person in the world almost certainly lives or has lived in Africa.
But the biggest brained black likely lives outside Africa because when a country suffers from sub-optimum nutrition, it doesn’t just affect the poor but also the elites. We saw this even in America as U.S. Presidents have grown taller over the last 200 years as health and nutrition improved. And the biggest brained black is not necessarily going to be born to a rich family.
You’re right, the biggest brained black lives in the northwest of France and it’s me.
PP, when Rushton says South African black college students have IQs in the low 90s what is their genetic IQ ?
I believe he says their IQs average 85, but regardless, if one assumes Africans score in the 60s in Africa and in the 80s in America, it’s reasonable to add about 20 points or so to African IQs to estimate their genetic potential, if you believe they’ve reached their potential in the U.S. which many deny but HBDers believe.
Ok, so according to HBD’s most common figure Africans have an average IQ of 70. According to the most methodologically robust estimate their IQ is 80.
So their “genetic potential” is somewhere between 90 and 100, which is how they score in Europe.
Next time you’re in Africa you just test random people on the street and find out once and for all what the number is.
They’re always gonna be “unrepresentative elite samples”
Record demographic data about the participants like education, occupation, rural vs urban, and if you can get a sample that matches the census for the african country you’re in, that will be powerful data.
Lol, I go to Africa to see friends or to actually help people, not for astrological experiments.
How can brain size correlate with success more than IQ???
This just means that IQ and brain size dont correlate perfectly, but to the extent they do, which i beleive you beleive….the people with the greatest IQ will also have the greatest brain size….
So ..if an african has one of the greatest black (and white) iq’s..then its likely an african has also got one of the greatest black (and white) brain size…..
How can brain size correlate with success more than IQ???
I never said it did.
There are about 800 million blacks in Africa, half of them are adults.

So obvious but i dont see how people here cannot see this.
The greater population explanation for why two groups with the same genetic profile (i.e. same IQ) can have more succesful people in one over the other IS THE REASON europeans are ahead over africans. Its just that there are simply more caucasians (europeans , arabs, indians) than there are blacks…
“So obvious but i dont see how people here cannot see this.”
Yah, it’s almost only HBDers who can’t see it, but there is a consensus that high population was the main driving force of historical civilisation building.
There are only 400 million Africans who were, with an average fertility rate of 7 children per woman during the past decades, it means there were only 114 million adults in the past generation.
The European Union and North America have about 700 million adults, with an average fertility rate of 2,5 children per woman over the past decades, it means there were 560 million adults in the past generation.
It’s not hard to understand that Africa’s human capital has never equaled that of the West in quantitative terms, searching for qualitative explanations is stupid.
“There are only 400 million Africans who were, with an average fertility rate of 7 children per woman during the past decades, it means there were only 114 million adults in the past generation.”
There are only 400 million Africans who are +15yo, with an average fertility rate of 7 children per woman during the past decades, it means there were only 114 million adults in the past generation.
And if we are to beleive that indians and middleeasterner as well as north africans are white…what does that mean?
Even more hilarious, there are currently 1.2bn adults in China, Japan and South Korea, there were 960 million adults one generation ago if we assume East Asia has had the same fertility rate as the West over the past decades.
HBD’s master race has had on average more than one fucking billion adult arms and brains for more than half a century. Yet, their countries are still lagging behind the west. Incredible underachievement.
But the biggest brained black likely lives outside Africa because when a country suffers from sub-optimum nutrition, it doesn’t just affect the poor but also the elites. We saw this even in America as U.S. Presidents have grown taller over the last 200 years as health and nutrition improved.
=======And the biggest brained black is not necessarily going to be born to a rich family.======
That just contradicts yourself.
If the most succesful black is from africa and success correlates with both brain size and iq …what can we make of that?
There’s no contradiction. Success is much less sensitive to nutrition than IQ and especially brain size.
There’s no contradiction. Success is much less sensitive to nutrition than IQ and especially brain size.
Thats EXACTLY what i’m saying…success is less sensitive (depends less on) nutritien than it does IQ or brain size…so people with a certain level of success can have correlating IQ and brain size without correlating nutrition.
I.e. those high iq blacks still have high brain size inspite of nutrition…are you following your own arguements?

My alpha car is my Range Rover, I still have the Lexus LS that my parents gave me when I had my driver’s licence but I only drive it in their presence, I leave it to my girl because she has a BMW M6 drop top which which is vulnerable in some areas. I also have a jackass car, a 1978 VW Golf GTI which gives incredible driving sensations.
“What car do you own ?”
Talking to me or mugabe?
“Talking to me or mugabe?”
I asked Mugabe, I have no clue about you so I’ll say you drive the Toyota Camry that I see everywhere in the US.
“Toyota Camry that I see everywhere in the US.”
Lmao, I think only old people drive camrys. I have a honda.
I definitely don’t have Phil’s magical powers. However I can say you don’t have an alphamobile since there is no alpha Honda.
“However I can say you don’t have an alphamobile since there is no alpha Honda.”
It doesn’t surprise me that you have no understanding of what “alpha” means. You are not alpha and if my car were to be accessed as so, it would show to be far more alpha than yours.
Tented windows, sunroof, loud ass bass, clean inside, stick shift, v4 vtech under the hood, and better yet I got a badder bitch than yours in my passenger.
Range rovers are for people with small penises.
Pumpkin, the moderation^ could you lift it?
Looool man, come back down to earth
THE Alphamobile
THE baby Alphamobile
THE retired Alphamobile
THE Alpha’s bad and boujee bitch’s insane car.
Your gammamobile
Elite =/= alpha. But the lexus is still nice.
The cabrio is for men going through a mid-life crisis, and again the range rover is for the less endowed trying to compensate.
I do not and never will own a honda Jazz.
Them Golfs though.
“Elite =/= alpha”
Sure, there are some alpha Dodge, Ford, Chevrolet, Alfa-Romeo, Volkswagen…
“But the lexus is still nice.”
Yes, it’s a high tech living room on wheels, but I’m gonna change it. I’m subtly letting people know that I’d accept a Porsche Panamera as a wedding gift.
“The cabrio is for men going through a mid-life crisis, and again the range rover is for the less endowed trying to compensate.”
Most drop tops are girly in my opinion, but the Range Rover is THE manly car par excellence. It has all the room I need for my mandingo dick and my swag to fit in a car.
“I do not and never will own a honda Jazz.”
I find Honda uninspiring for a brand in this segment. If I had to buy a discreet car, I’d buy a large Kia sedan.
“Them Golfs though.”
We agree here, pure dope, insane sensations.
.
“I’m subtly letting people know that I’d accept a Porsche Panamera as a wedding gift.”
LOL
“Most drop tops are girly in my opinion”
Exactly, every time I see one I can only picture some white girl in a scarf driving them.
“the Range Rover is THE manly car par excellence. It has all the room I need for my mandingo dick and my swag to fit in a car. I find Honda uninspiring for a brand in this segment. If I had to buy a discreet car, I’d buy a large Kia sedan.”
See, I used to have a kia, but the honda is just really chill, mellow, normal. I just don’t like big cars, I’m an avid pot smoker in a state where it is still illegal and I am not completely white, the base speakers are already too much. If you were to ride around in the range rover in the states you’d probably get pulled over.
“We agree here, pure dope, insane sensations.”
Great for when you’re binge drinking.
“Exactly, every time I see one I can only picture some white girl in a scarf driving them.”
The ultimate dumb bimbo car in France is the Peugeot 207 CC
“If you were to ride around in the range rover in the states you’d probably get pulled over.”
In France it’s the opposite, clean and nice big cars are less bothered by cops. When I get controlled, they see a handsome well dressed smiling guy, I give them my business card, they see my name and profession and they don’t look for trouble.
“Great for when you’re binge drinking.”
Fuck yeah, drunk on a seaside road or in the middle of the woods. Heaven.
“The ultimate dumb bimbo car in France is the Peugeot 207 CC”
My car is kind of like this but without that ugly spoiler:
“I give them my business card, they see my name and profession and they don’t look for trouble.”
Well yeah, when they see that you’re lawyer they go: “oh shit, we can’t jerk this guy around he knows his stuff”. Most blacks are not lawyers.
“Fuck yeah, drunk on a seaside road or in the middle of the woods. Heaven.”
Basically my whole summer last year. I wish I lived closer to the ocean, I’m stuck with rivers because I live in the boonies.
“My car is kind of like this but without that ugly spoiler:”
Nice car, I’d prefer a hatchback version though.
Look at Deal!’s cars:
This one’s for sunny days
This one for Ontario’s depressing winter.
“Most blacks are not lawyers.”
Neither are most non-blacks
“Basically my whole summer last year.”
Now you’re talkin’ my language, now you’re talkin’ my language…
“Look at Deal!’s cars:”
Not that surprising. The red is only thing that makes that car somewhat masculine.
“Neither are most non-blacks”
Yeah, but I’m pretty sure most lawyers(at least in america) are jewish or white.
“Now you’re talkin’ my language, now you’re talkin’ my language…”
That’s actually one of the songs I was bumping back then. I don’t really like drake that much though.

President Trump says his cabinet is already making history.
On the first day of a long weekend of inauguration celebrations on Thursday, Donald Trump told reporters: “One thing we’ve learned. We have by far the highest IQ of any cabinet ever assembled.”
It’s hard to know whether the property developer and reality TV star who just became the 45th President of the United States was joking. Still, the crowd cheered and burst into applause.
President Obama’s first cabinet in 2008 wasn’t so bad either, as the New York Times pointed out: It included Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist as Energy Secretary, former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers as head of the National Economic Council, and former chief executive of the Federal Reserve Timothy Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury.
Trump’s cabinet picks are certainly among the richest in recent memory. By some estimates, they’re worth several billions of dollars, including Betsy DeVos, education secretary ($5.1 billion), Wilbur Ross, commerce secretary ($2.5 billion), Steve Mnuchin, treasury secretary ($40 million), Ben Carson, housing secretary ($26 million) and Andy Puzder, labor secretary ($25 million).

As i said before, she is smart no doubt compared to black womenses especiallly. But her head is freaksih because having a big brain is not normal for blacks so the brain physically enlarges instead of imroving its dendrite wiring which is much more efficient evolutionarily.

Head size is not brain size but it’s a good proxy. The relationship between brain size and IQ is like height and weight. Being tall increases the odds of being heavy, just as being big brained increases the odds of being smart, but no guarantee, and plenty of short people are heavy just as plenty of small brained people are brilliant. But on average, for every 91 cc increase in brain size, IQ increases 5 points, so the fact that Oprah has arguably the biggest brain in her race and gender really adds up.
So why would you keep referring to a persons height in respect to their chances of getting diabetes.
You could have a point , but there’s nothing stopping you from saying heavy people are more likely to get health problems than slim….
Talk about what directly caused her success instead of what correlates loosely with what caused her success, i.e. intelligence
Because talk of head size is pseudoscience (almost).
Weight doesn’t really matter to diabetes. Skinny fat people have the same blood markers as obese people. Total body fat percentage matters more. People with high BMI but a weight around what they should be are still in danger.
My point was why use the proxy head size to determine success when you can use the actual thing IQ to do so?

Oh, Poor you!,
Can you elaborate too, or are you just talking our of your ass? I love Internet psychologists. How can you catch something that my pediatrician didn’t? Matter of fact, why are you not the pediatrician if you can diagnose people with such great accuracy?
“Can you elaborate?”
Didn’t you say you live your life by a strict organized schedule?
You’re also very empirical.
“Can you elaborate too, or are you just talking our of your ass?”
Now now race realist, don’t feed the trolls.
I like free time. I don’t like running around because I forgot something. I have a ton of free time because of my schedule. Who doesn’t like free time?
RaceRealist is a bumbling autistic fool, he can’t uses sarcasm properly.
Where did you get your armchair psychology degree?
Where did you get yours, I assume you needed one to diagnose Obama’s stupidity ?
I like freetime, I’m just saying the way you made it sound was like you were very uptight about your habits.
Oprah’s head is much, much, MUCH bigger, and contains far more neurons:
“contains far more neurons:”
Speculation. You don’t know that.
Yeah, how do you know how many neurons are in Oprah’s head?
It seem from a side angle Oprah’s head is more elongated than Michelles.
This implies more capacity but not necessarily more efficiency.
The estimated number of neurons is much much greater

Ha. Good one. Though I don’t talk about ‘celebrities’. I’m not saying that because Kim Kardashians waist-to-hip ratio is in the range that she’s an ultra intelligent person.
Hmmm… How bout to contrast PP, I start saying that she’s sooo00o0o0 intelligent because she has more gluteofemoral fat which aids in brain growth and cognitive performance. Hey! This is why she’s so successful!!

Afrosapiens and Pumpkinperson
It is extremely important to remember that African billionaires have made their money through legacy industries which are not the cutting edge of technological development anymore, (at least not in Africa)…They have made their money through sugar, textiles, cement ,flour, mining, petroleum …Albeit petroleum sees still a huge amount of scientific advancement and computer modelling advancement with regards to recovery, the entirety of the research is done in the West..At best African billionaires can do is rent out the tech through bank financing….
Most of these billionaires have most probably ascended to the top through crony capitalism and corruption (albeit that also takes IQ)….
It speaks extremely poorly of a country when its richest are from legacy industries which have matured out and not from up and coming industries…this also shows that the level of IQ needed to be a billionaire in a tech heavy industry is 10 points higher than legacy industries
That’s why India is a higher IQ place than Africa because many of its billionaires have become rich through software services (though still lower tech compared to the West)..and it owns two of the world’s greatest car brands in Jaguar and Land Rover..India exports a fair number of small cars and small motorcycles around the world too
China is higher IQ than India because it has billionaires who have become rich through computer hardware or the drone industry ala Frank Wang and DJI
and Silicon Valley (Jewish preponderance at the top?–Google,Oracle,Facebook,Whatsapp,Dell,Amazon) is higher IQ than China
´The day Africa can export finished products to the world like Cars, mobile phones,ships, software is the day we can take African IQ to be on the same playing field as White IQ…..
These African billionaires are nothing more than modern day version of Musa 1 of Mali who was world’s richest by the dint of resources (gold) in his land
It won’t take much for world powers to kill off such resource billionaires just as they did the resource kings of Africa in the past..(through competition or political means)
But Jewish billionaires like Google, Facebook are INDISPENSABLE to the world powers…their technological prowess (as well as technological prowess of russian coders who recently invented the world’s best face recognition algorithm) can overreach the writ and remit of many countries
The Jewish billionaires have seen the future, the future power lies not in politics or conventional military but megasmart and megarich technocrats controlling the planet’s population from their Elysium
TL;DR: Just by controlling entire’s countries resources through some means doesnot put you on the same pedestal as modern tech billionaires..
That’s why India is a higher IQ place than Africa because many of its billionaires have become rich through software services (though still lower tech compared to the West)..and it owns two of the world’s greatest car brands in Jaguar and Land Rover..India exports a fair number of small cars and small motorcycles around the world too
China is higher IQ than India because it has billionaires who have become rich through computer hardware or the drone industry ala Frank Wang and DJI
You dont get a higher IQ because you did stuff….you do stuff BECAUSE you have a higher IQ. If for some reason einstein had been killed just before he thought up the theory of relativity would you say his IQ at death was lower than if he had managed to prov it?
Intelligence iproduces the act of taking what you have access to and making the most of it. These are part of the axioms of game theory.
Those african billionaires took what they had access to and made the most of it which is what ALL billionaires did. You are confusing buisness with science, they have different objectives…they both think what can i do to earn money, but the buisnessman thinks how can i get ALOT of money in whichever way..the scientist chooses a field to earn a living and is content even if that feild does not give him anything…you cant judge ones success based on the others goals
These billionaires became billionaires in AFRICA with less nutrition a poorer education and less starting off funds than YOU or 99% of whites, yet they have MORE than 99% of whites at present. Functionaly they are extremely intelligent.
Before we talk about sources of wealth, let’s look at some more basic demographic variables.
If we only consider the world’s 100 richest men leaving purchasing parity aside
We see that Nigeria places one man in the top 100 (Aliko Dangote), India places four (Mukesh Ambani, Dilip Shanghvi, Azim Premji, Shiv Nadar), China has four too (Wang Jianlin, Jack Ma, Ma Huateng, Robin Li) the US has an astonishing 40.
http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/#/version:static
Nigeria has 180 million inhabitants, which gives a ratio of one top 100 man for 180 million people, in India with a population of 1.250bn the rate is 1/310m, in China and her 1.350bn population, the rate is 1/340m. And finally the US clearly dominate with only 320m inhabitants and 1 top 100 person for only 8m people.
So here is the ranking
1=USA, 1/8m
2=Nigeria, 1/180m
3=India, 1/310m
4=China, 1/340m
More refined demographic adjustments such as age (Nigeria and India have younger populations whereas billionaire tend to be over the age of 50) literacy rate (down syndrome people can read, reading doesn’t make you intelligent but it helps to become one of the world’s 100 richest) or health (some people might have been held back because of their health issues) would make look Nigeria and, to a lesser extent India more performant, whereas the US and especially China would appear less impressive.
Among Nigeria’s, India’s and China’s top 100 representatives, India’s Shiv Nadar and Azim Premji as well as China’s Robin Li and Ma Huateng made their fortune in high tech sectors.
The reason is simple, India and China are huge countries, their higher learning institutions can recruit from a much larger pool of talent and centralize competences and financial support.In addition, higher end products have a much larger middle class customer market.
Sub Saharan Africa consists of 50 something countries who have the demographic dimensions of India and China’s states and provinces. There is no centralized policy, universities receive funds from 50 small governments and recruit from a small pool of talent. Middle class markets are too small for the development of high tech products to be profitable.
So people can only be successful in legacy industries and have to deal with a poor business climate.
Africa is at the stage of early capitalism and her billionaires do very well at getting rich.
PP consider placing LIKE buttons at the bottom of posts
Afrosapiens i came across a paper a while back that said reading increases g. Will link it later.
I’ve read something like that too. What I meant is that reading doesn’t create selection for intelligence in the sense that we can’t say illiterates are just too dumb to learn, which is not true.
And outstanding comment.
Thank you 🙂
or may be because he is so rich, because of crony capitalism that discouraged faor economic competition from other African businessmen..If he has more than 40 percent market share in his target markets, then be sure that is the case…………….
and by the time your or my people (Indian) have gotten hang of full capitalism , the world would have morphed into Kinhasa + Elysium..only way for Indians and Africans to reclaim dignity is through severe eugenics programs where only above 105 IQ people are given permits to reproduce and forcible abortion of the rest….But Africans have one thing going for them and that has to be acknowledged, they can come over to Europe and seduce and impregante white women…This is a natural eugenics many Africans are following ….in western countries, even the big booties of black women are losing top black men to White PAWGS and whooties who have taken to squats, gyms and nutrtitous eating
“or may be because he is so rich, because of crony capitalism that discouraged faor economic competition from other African businessmen.”
These ultra-rich Africans have similarities with the Gilded Age’s robber barons and subsaharan societies are still Victorian in some aspects.
Yet there is another Nigerian waiting at the 103rd place, Mike Adenuga. So one year or two, we can expect to see 2 Nigerians in the top 100, and maybe five within the next 10 years.
I won’t comment on the rest of your comment…
So Phil is indian ? Interesting… it explain why he argued that indian women are the most attractive (lol)
who is Phil? I am ethnic Indian , from warrior caste..skin colour that of Italian or Spanish level…i have used only this account..personally I feel big booty Arab women are the sexiest, as well as big booty white women..but big booty Arabs take the cake for me
“I feel big booty Arab women are the sexiest, as well as big booty white women..but big booty Arabs take the cake for me”
I can only agree with you my friend.
Big booty Arabs of Israelite confession are the best, you guys don’t know…
maybe. even the ashkenazi isrealis don’t look like american jews most of the time.
i remember i did my visit at U Pitt considering it for my PhD in organic chemistry and there was this knock out there. i asked someone where she was from. isreal!
When I go to Israel, I find it hard to distinguish Jewish subgroups except for the Ethiopians. There are also 20% of the population who are Arab. People on the streets of Tel Aviv resemble those in the streets of Beirut they are Levantine and their appearance ranges from Natalie Portman to Amy Winehouse types.
Anti-semties could learn some things.
and yes Pumpkinperson is right ..Almost all African leaders had sub optimal nutrition compared to Western children..and not all African leaders are former warlords coming up from poor families ..a good majority of them grew up rich
and the big elephant in the room is that Africa and other countries such as India take a huge hit to IQ on account of tropical diseases………………Almost all children in such countries have fallen ill to uniquely tropical diseases at one or other point in their lives, which cut down their IQ and height..just such bacterias and vuruses passing through your body without infecting you may be enough to curtail your IQ and height gains
And Obama at 6’1 was not particularly “super tall” (super tall starting at 6’3)..and still ALL African leaders other than the leader of Rwanda are shorter than him
That’s his daughter and not wife
(Taller leaders are generally placed in the front and even then none of them could match slightly tallish Obama)

Moreover India and China have their own space programs and GPS systems, and India’s return on investment on its space program is stratospheric
India has the oldest civilisation in the world what do you expect with that history. Buisness concepts are engrained in their language. Africans are still learning the vocabulary…and this lag is not based on intelligence because the indians were civilised 4000 years before europeans so if your explanation for our lag is intelligence how do you explain yours?
It sucks how you have to be so vivacious all the time. Otherwise, people think you’re weird. Ugh

“and what the hell is an arab “of isrealite confession”?”
A person of Jewish faith and Judeo-Arabic culture i.e Sephardi Jew, Yemeni Jew, Mizrahi Jew.
Besides the Arabic Jews, I suspect that the Ethiopian, Armenian and Persian Jews are hot too.
I feel big booty Arab women are the sexiest
I all ways laugh when i hear people say things like that, because statements like that are based on ignorance of basic population genetics..
There is a belief that anyone who is of a muslim background is Arab, when 99% are not genetically Arab.
The root of the problem comes from two sources.
1. The secular nationalists wanting an umbrella term to unite all anti-Colonialist forces in the region. so they chose Arab nationalism.
2. Israel wanting to delegitimize the natives of Palestine by saying that they are Arabs and Arabs are native to Arabia, when the vast majority of Palestinians are not ethnically Arab.
If you read the genetic literature you will find that the genetic marker for an ethnic Arab is the Y-Chromosome haplogroup J1c3d .
There has been extensive DNA testing on all Arab clans , both adnanite and Qahtanite branches, and they test positive for the J1c3d Y-Chromosome marker.
As for the so called ” Arabs” in the west
those in France = vast majority Berber
Those in Holland = Berber and somali
Those in UK = Pakistani, Bangladeshi with small somali and berber element.
Those in Germany = mostly Turkish with small afghan/pakistani element, and new non-Arab Syrians.
Those in US = mostly Pakistani, Bangladeshi , Egyptian with small somali , iranian/central asian and non-Arab syrian/lebanese element
Those in Australia = Mostly Pakistani/Bangladeshi with sizable non-Arab Lebanese/Syrian component.
Those in Sweden/Denmark/Finland = mostly berbers and south asians.
Those in Canada = Mostly pakistani/bangladeshi with small Somali and Egyptian element.
when you look at the middle east and north africa region you will find the following:
Egypt = vast majority Egyptian with small nubian, berber, turkish elements.
Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia/Libya = Vast majority Berber with some berbers looking white due to the barbary slave trade.
from my experience working with genetics i found that the berbers with white skin, like the Riff , have European mtDNA. Most test positive for the the H mtDNA haplogroup, which is the most common European mtDNA haplogroup.
Barbary pirates = Berbers
Barbary is how you say Berber in Arabic.
Yemen = Tremendous negroid and vedoid admixture, on the mothers side.
Many people are aware of the negroid element but the vast majority are not aware of the vedoid genetic presence, as well as the incredible amount of indians imported into Yemen by the British.
Mukesh Ambani , the richest man in India, was born in Aden, Yemen.
Also,the most recent studies find around 40% of the MtDNA haplogroups in Yemen were of Sub-Saharan african origin, which is incredible.
Saudi Arabia/ UAE/ Qatar/Kuwait/Jordan = only ~40% Arab in the case of Saudi Arabia and around 20% in the case of the UAE ( citizens are over 95% Arab), the rest are similar.
When you read the census of a country like SaudI Arabia you need to know that the government only counts citizens, and even then only 90% of citizens are Arab (on fathers side) , and even those citizens are only 69% Arab by DNA when you take both sides of the family into account.
In the UAE you will find less than 1 in 5 are ethnically Arab and citizens, with the rest being guest workers from south asia, africa, Iran and elsewhere.
Europeans ,like myself ,simply can not fathom the idea of the natives of a country could be around 20% of the population without far right parties coming to power.
Denmark is around 90% Danish and yet they have a strong far right party . UAE is 20% Arab and there is not even a single protest ! .
ethnic Arabs just have supreme confidence in their ability to manage millions of non-Arabs, something that they have over 1,400 years of practice doing.
when you understand this then you will understand that the vast majority of ethic Arabs are affluent, and so there is virtually no chance of you ever socializing let alone sleeping with their women.
When a lot of tourists go to places like Dubai they think they are sleeping with Arab prostitutes when the vast majority of those fools are being duped by the escort agencies who make millions of dollars off these perverts fantasies of sleeping with an Arab woman.
The vast majority of the prostitutes in places like Dubai are run by the Russians , so most prostitutes are Eastern European, with the rest being from Morroco/Iran/Lebanon/South Asia.
There is literally no financial incentive for an ethnic Arab woman to do all of that for $100 an hour, nor would their highly masculine culture allow the fathers/brothers to accept such a situation.
Just remember that if only around 40% of Saudi Arabia is Arab then what can we say about the rest of the world ?
L’art d’enfoncer des portes ouvertes…
Very few people here think that Arabs are a race and that Muslim is a synonym of Arab.
You, however, forgot to mention a couple of Arab groups based on racial perception: The Sudanese, Shuwa Arabs and Moors.
In France we always distinguish the different Muslim groups (Sahelians, Arabs, Berbers, Turks, Albanians, Bosniaks, Chechens, Somalis, Afghani, Hindustani, Comorians…) and the different religious communities of Arab culture (Sephardi Jews, Maronite Christians, Sunni Muslims, Assyrian Christians, Shia Muslims).
We might not look so bright talking about sex, Oprah and the Kardashians but you know the proverb: don’t judge a book by its cover.
Very few people here think that Arabs are a race
Arab is an ethnicity not a race. Anyone who is not from an Arab clan (J1c3d Y-DNA) is not an Arab.
Race = Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid (disagreements about the rest)
Ethnicity = Arab, Swedish, Japanese etc
In France we always distinguish the different Muslim groups
In France they constantly refer to berbers as Arabs.
I remember reading a report that France was 8% Arab , when there are virtually no ethnic Arabs in France or anywhere in Europe.
In fact you could fit all ethnic Arabs in Europe into one sports stadium, that’s how small the number is (~ 20,000)
A colleague of mine from France joked ” when a north african is a football star he calls himself berber, but when he is applying for welfare he calls himself Arab “
“Arab is an ethnicity not a race.”
What don’t you understand in “Very few people here think that Arabs are a race” ?
“Anyone who is not from an Arab clan (J1c3d Y-DNA) is not an Arab.”
No, Arab is a culture and anyone who identifies to an arabized culture is an Arab whether they derive their ancestry from Hedjaz Bedawi clans or from former Nubians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Berbers…
The same applies to Germans, a large part of the German populations of Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia or Brandenburg are germanized Slavs and Balts, yet there is hardly a population that has embodied the German spirit more than the Prussians.
“In France they constantly refer to berbers as Arabs.”
No, Berber-speaking Kabyles or Chleu are distinct from arabized North Africans who identify and are identified as Arabs.
“when a north african is a football star he calls himself berber, but when he is applying for welfare he calls himself Arab ”
Whatever ! Everybody knows Zinedine Zidane is an Algerian Kabyle and people are never questioned about their ethnicity when they apply for any public service.
However, Arab is a slur in French. Working like an Arab means doing a bad job, acting like an Arab means being thuggish…
And for your information, the European paternal ancestry in North Africa doesn’t come from slavery since male slaves were castrated. There were Europeans in pre-islamic North Africa because of Völkerwanderung which had the Germanic Vandal tribe settling as far south as Algeria.
“No, Arab is a culture and anyone who identifies to an arabized culture is an Arab whether they derive their ancestry from Hedjaz Bedawi clans or from former Nubians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Berbers…”
This.
No, Arab is a culture and anyone who identifies to an arabized culture is an Arab whether they derive their ancestry from Hedjaz Bedawi clans or from former Nubians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Berbers…
This is ridiculous.
If i learn Japanese will i become Japanese?
Will the Japanese recognize me ? do you have any idea what the immigration policy of Japan is ?
I think because you are black and live in France, you get very nervous about ethnic identity.
The media has told you that you are French because you have adopted French culture, but you are not native to France.
The internationalization of ethnicity , particularly European ethnicities, is the greatest crime of the last 20 years.
The idea that anyone can be Danish or Japanese is nothing short of attempted genocide.
and for your information, the European paternal ancestry in North Africa doesn’t come from slavery since male slaves were castrated. There were Europeans in pre-islamic North Africa because of Völkerwanderung which had the Germanic Vandal tribe settling as far south as Algeria.
I said MtDNA so obviously i am talking about maternal ancestry (mother line).
The white Berbers have H mtDNA which comes from European women as H is the most common European mtDNA haplogroup.
barbary pirates = Berber pirates.
No, Berber-speaking Kabyles or Chleu are distinct from arabized North Africans who identify and are identified as Arabs.
However, Arab is a slur in French. Working like an Arab means doing a bad job, acting like an Arab means being thuggish
Exactly my point.
North Africans who are not doing well ( welfare claimants, gang members etc) call themselves Arab, when they are not at all ethnically Arab.
The media goes along with this and calls them Arab so that they can use that in Israels favor.
P.S North Africans do not speak anything even remotely resembling Arabic. I remember reading a study saying that the linguistic difference between north Africans and the natives of Arabia was like the difference between Portuguese and Spanish.
off the topic question but related:
Do you believe that race/ethnicity is a biological construct of a social construct ?
that question will get to the crux of the matter
“If i learn Japanese will i become Japanese?”
A large part of Japanese ancestry comes from indigenous Ainus who became Yamato. So yes, if you assimilate to Japanese culture you become a Japanese.
If you come from North-East Germany or the former Prussian lands, you probably have Slavic or Baltic ancestry.
“The media has told you that you are French because you have adopted French culture, but you are not native to France. ”
Well, France adopted me actually and my adoptive parents raised me as a French boy.
“The internationalization of ethnicity ”
Both nation and ethnicity are social constructs, they don’t exist in genetics.
You Germans apply Jus Sanguinis and think “Dem Deutschen Volke” as something like a bloodline, forgetting that you are a mixture of Germanic, Celtic, Slavic and Baltic populations.
You also have your former French Hugenots who became German by assimilation.
“North Africans who are not doing well ( welfare claimants, gang members etc) call themselves Arab, when they are not at all ethnically Arab. ”
It’s not only North-Africans who are called Arab when they slack off or act thuggish, it applies to blacks whotes, yellows, greens and blues.
No modern Arab dialect is intelligible with Quranic Arabic or modern standard Arabic, not even the dialects of Nedj and Hedjaz.
In the same manner, Frankish, Alemanic, Bavarian and Low German dialects are not intelligible, which is why there is an artificial Standard German veriety.
Btw, I think you’ll be great friends with Phil. He will tell you the tale of Zion and Kinshasa and you guys will fire sniper killshots of truth. It’s gonna be funny.
So yes, if you assimilate to Japanese culture you become a Japanese
Have you ever been to Japan ?
Japan is by far one of the most ethno-Nationlistic nations on the face of the planet.
The Japanese are annoyed at the presence of Chinese in their land let alone blacks.
The idea that anyone can be japanese is laughable.
Find me a single media personality who says that anyone can be Japanese. I will find you thousands who say that anyone can be Swedish/ Danish/ Dutch etc.
Forget the word ethnicity. lets phrase it in the form of ” Native vs Non-Native ”
the Y-DNA marker for the natives of Arabia is J1c3d
The Y-DNA marker for the natives of North Africa is E1b1b
how on earth can you say that two groups with different paternal ancestry (male line) can be the same ethnicity ?!
What you are saying is not just wrong, its anti-Science.
If you come from North-East Germany or the former Prussian lands, you probably have Slavic or Baltic ancestry.
lets say that what you are saying is true . How would that change what a German is ?
if Kenyans immigrate to Bavaria, Germany and become a demographic majority will we say:
” Oh a portion of germany is kenyan so there is no such thing as a German ”
The Y-DNA marker for the Proto-Germanic tribes is R1b-S21.
The boundaries of Germany have been fluid for centuries but roughly what we call Germany today is the native land of the Germanic tribes.
No modern Arab dialect is intelligible with Quranic Arabic or modern standard Arabic, not even the dialects of Nedj and Hedjaz.
Now i know that you have no idea about what you are talking about .
I worked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for 7 years and i am fluent in Arabic.
I have absolutely no trouble reading any classical text in Arabic. the only problem i have is that my vocabulary is not very large so i have to use a dictionary, which is inconvenient.
I have read a substantial portion of the Quran in Arabic and i can understand it , but again, i am not a native speaker so i have to use a dictionary.
The language used on formal Saudi TV (news etc) is 100% classical Arabic ( Quranic Arabic), of course it is not as eloquent as classical Arabic, but the grammar, rhetoric, and morphology is the same.
Even after becoming fluent in Arabic i still can not understand Egyptian tv, Moroccan tv , Algerian tv or tunisian tv. they are completely different languages to Arabic.
your claim that no one speaks Quranic Arabic is proof that you have no idea what you are taking about and probably just google your answers.
It was my mistake to discuss this with you.
Vive les indigènes de france !
Wow dude, you are a rebuttal of nordicism and aryanism.
“Have you ever been to Japan ?”
No. Have you ?
“Japan is by far one of the most ethno-Nationlistic nations on the face of the planet.
The Japanese are annoyed at the presence of Chinese in their land let alone blacks.”
So what ? There is also prejudice against the Japanese who returned from Brazil. Japan has a very tribalistic culture right now, but it can change.
And have you got official stats to show that the Japanese (Yamato is the real name) are instinctively annoyed by the presence of foreigners ?
“how on earth can you say that two groups with different paternal ancestry (male line) can be the same ethnicity ?!”
Because ethnicity is not defined by Y chromosome haplogroup or any other genetic marker.
An ethny is simply a group of people who share a common culture and history. It is very flexible. Immigrants can assimilate to an ethnic group or an ethnic group can change its cultural identification marker.
“lets say that what you are saying is true . How would that change what a German is ?”
Learn about your people here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanisation
”
if Kenyans immigrate to Bavaria, Germany and become a demographic majority will we say:
” Oh a portion of germany is kenyan so there is no such thing as a German ” ”
Firts, Kenyan is not an ethnicity (there are dozens of ethnic groups in Kenya) it is a nationality.
If immigrants from Kenya become a majority but assimilate into Bavaria’s German culture we’ll dimply say “ethnic Germans from Bavaria derive a large part of their ancestry from Kenya” just like we say “most ethnic Germans from Prussia are in fact Germanized Balts”
“The Y-DNA marker for the Proto-Germanic tribes is R1b-S21. ”
lol. It’s far more complex…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_peoples#Genetics
The indigenous peoples of Germany are Celtic tribes related to the Hallstatt Culture. Germanic peoples have more ancestry from Scandinavia, Denmark and the far North of Germany.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallstatt_culture
“Now i know that you have no idea about what you are talking about .

Indeed, that’s inconvenient to be unable to read the language in which you are fluent without the help of a dictionary.
You know what I have the same problem with Portuguese and Spanish, I’ve never learnt these languages but I understand them easily, can read Santoculto’s blog but I need a dictionary to understand some words. That’s because I’m French and I speak a degenerate variety of Latin.
Now let’s play a game,
English: I love to read
Modern standard Arabic: أنا أحب القراءة كثيرًا
ʾanā ʾuḥibbu l-qirāʾata kaṯīran
Hejazi Arabic (the dialect of Mecca): ana marra aħubb al-girāya
Quranic Arabic: ?
Whatever form of Arabic you are fluent in: ?
“It was my mistake to discuss this with you.”
Yes, now we can say France was avenged for the Franco-Prussian war.
“Vive les indigènes de france !”
On dit plutôt Français de souche et on écrit France avec un F majuscule.
Aus Schaden wird man klug.

It is very quick and easy to allow commentators the ability to edit their comments for a period of 5 minutes.
You need a self-hosted wordpress blog to do that.
“But coming from poverty, sexual abuse, and a very humble college, Oprah worships the Ivy League Obamas like brilliant black Gods, not realizing she was the true Genius behind their throne.”
Are you implying that Oprah no have self-awareness ?
Afro no have self awarness

he’ll be back, defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier.
Talking about defeating a sandwich, there is one post of yours that I need to debunk on a old thread.
I need to feed my 200 pounds.
“there is one post of yours that I need to debunk on a old thread.”
Well there is a first time for everything. Which one is it? My views may have changed depending on how long it’s been.
“200 pounds.”
That’s average for black guys. I’m a almost an SD below you in weight but I bet I still eat more than you, I never gain weight for some reason.
“I still eat more than you, I never gain weight for some reason”
You think you eat a lot. You really don’t. Trust me. People literally have no idea how much they eat.
“Well there is a first time for everything”
I own you son, you just don’t understand. The lesson that I will teach you is about biological ageing in Africans.
“That’s average for black guys”
I’m big by French standards (average male weight is 170lbs here), and the Africans in France are even slimmer though I don’t have stats. I only have around 8% body fat and I’m 100% certain that eat more than you.
“You really don’t. Trust me. People literally have no idea how much they eat.”
-facepalm- Are you really trying to tell me you know about my eating habits more than myself? Anecdotally I eat much more than anyone related to me or anyone I hang around, and I’m still skinnier than them.
“I own you son, you just don’t understand. The lesson that I will teach you is about biological ageing in Africans.”
Your mischaracterization of my argument is further proof of your ignorance within the subject. You lack the ability to find patterns within chaos.
“I’m big by French standards (average male weight is 170lbs here)”
Then you really wouldn’t be able to take over hood here.
I’m literally saying that thin people overestimate what they eat while fat people underestimate. I used to think I ‘are a lot’ too. I realized I didn’t eat a lot when I actually learned how to diet and what different kcal amounts look like.
So yes, I am trying to tell you your eating habits. Because I know. You think you eat a lot, but you really don’t.
No, ive been around heavier individuals for multiple days . This isnt just my opinion, others have noted this about me, i dont understand what the big deal is. Im not talking about skinny people im just talking about me personally. I’m not skinny as in scrawny, but im not fat.
“No, ive been around heavier individuals for multiple days . This isnt just my opinion, others have noted this about me, i dont understand what the big deal is. Im not talking about skinny people im just talking about me personally. I’m not skinny as in scrawny, but im not fat.”
…..
Let’s say you need 14,000 kcal to maintain your weight for the week. You eat 14,000 kcal on Sunday and do not eat for the rest of the week. Will you have gained or lost weight that week?
“Your mischaracterization of my argument is further proof of your ignorance within the subject. You lack the ability to find patterns within chaos.”
You lack the ability to find anything in a reality that is only chaotic in your chaotic brain.
“Then you really wouldn’t be able to take over hood here.”
I’d keep these obese niggas in check.
…ecstasy…
will cure you afro.
Alright, since you approve neocolonialism, I suppose you also approve mass immigration to the west. Sounds coherent, right ?
“Will you have gained or lost weight that week?”
No, I get that. I believe you man, I’m just saying anecdotally my food bill is more expensive than others. I’ve been camping with overweight friends for over a week and still can out eat them. It’d be fallacious to assume everyone has the same needs for Kcal intake as well.
“I’d keep these obese niggas in check.”
I don’t know, that sounded forced as hell.
You have a pretty nigga face and you’re light skinned, plus you wouldn’t be much bigger them especially since a lot of hood niggas are ripped.
You look like this guy
You would get raped in prison:
“I don’t know, that sounded forced as hell.”
Sure, that’s not the life I live.
“You have a pretty nigga face and you’re light skinned, plus you wouldn’t be much bigger them especially since a lot of hood niggas are ripped.”
I’m a bit darker than Shemar and I look 100% African. I can look cute and charming just as much as I can look tough and threatening. 200 pounds of mostly lean mass is quite unusual, even among gangbangers.
“You would get raped in prison:”
I wouldn’t get arrested in the first place, I’d have my sidekicks doing the dirty job.
“Sure, that’s not the life I live.”
Well at least you acknowledge it.
“I’m a bit darker than Shemar and I look 100% African.”
Maybe a shade bit. Your cheekbones are a little high too.
“200 pounds of mostly lean mass is quite unusual, even among gangbangers.”
Are you sure? A lot of them have already been to prison and working out is the only thing to pass the time.
“I wouldn’t get arrested in the first place”
Lmao, it’s impossible to be black and not get arrested in the US.
“Maybe a shade bit. Your cheekbones are a little high too.”
When I go to countries of the Gulf of Guinea I’m indistinguishable from the natives. I Haiti I look like a banal black, same in the US.
“Are you sure? A lot of them have already been to prison and working out is the only thing to pass the time.”
I think it’s hard to have an appropriate diet for muscle mass gains in prison or when growing up poor. Working out is only half of the job.
“Lmao, it’s impossible to be black and not get arrested in the US.”
I’ve spent quite some time in the US. Never got arrested although I’ve made a lot of road infractions, and not with discreet Toyota Camrys if you know what I mean.
“I’m indistinguishable from the natives. ”
Now that’s just racist. Black people don’t all look the same.
“Working out is only half of the job.”
We’re only allowed to have opinions on nutrition when race realist is present. You know the rules.
“I’ve spent quite some time in the US.”
Where?
“Never got arrested although I’ve made a lot of road infractions”
Yeah, but you probably talk and act white. If your car isn’t loaded with drugs and you’re dressed properly you should be fine.
“Now that’s just racist. Black people don’t all look the same.”
LoL, I meant I don’t look foreign.
“Where?”
Only listing the places where I drove a car:
New York
The Hamptons
the DMV
Charleston, SC
Miami
Orlando
New Orleans
Chicago
Las Vegas
Southern California
“Yeah, but you probably talk and act white. If your car isn’t loaded with drugs and you’re dressed properly you should be fine.”
Yes it’s about the way I am. I speak Toronto (T’rono) English though.
“LoL, I meant I don’t look foreign.”
So did people come up to you speaking their native language , expecting you to understand it?
“Only listing the places where I drove a car:”
I’ve been to most of the east coast from charleston all the way up to cape cod. I used to make round trips in the summer to visit relatives.
“Yes it’s about the way I am. ”
indeed, you could be puleld over, but if you act proper and obedient enough, they let it slide. US cops aren’t racist, just prejudice.
“So did people come up to you speaking their native language , expecting you to understand it?”
Yes, except if I’m with white people. It’s only when I went to Mexico, Thailand, Bali, Turkey and some Eastern European countries that people didn’t expect me to speak their local language.
Siegfried,
Afro is a total fuckng hack.
Warm regards,

You forgot telling him about my “bootieful smile”.
What i like in your focus on brain/head size is that it reversed a complex i have about my head …. I’m quite big but i have a enormous head. I discover it when i was 13 and there was absolutely no motobyke helmet that could fit my headsize. And the second time was when i went to a movie for the first time (i’m from a catholic family with no TV, no movie etc.) and people besides me complained loudly they couldn’t see anything with my big head 🙂
PS : i know the correlation is only 0.3 with the head size…. so it’s not here to claim whatever about my IQ, only thing is that is amusing to see someone that values big head like mine. The difference between my head and Oprah is that the big part of my head is not the front but the back of the head. Wich is weird because i have sort of mild prosopagnosia and as the same time i had a 20/9 vision on both eyes + i’m left-handed only for writting and do everything else with right hand (even my vision is with the right eye and there is no left handedness in my family).
About black people and women IQ and success in activities involving g, you’ve got two data that strongly correlates :
Out of 360 Nobel prizes (or equivalent) in Economy (bank of sweden), Math (Fields) and Physics you have 4 women (1% ) and 1 Black (0,25%). 300 are white male.
Among top chess players with for ELO ranking you ve got 1 women 115 and another 350. They are 20 in the first 2000 1%. The first black (3 people) are 1500, 1700, 1850 and very few after that. So its 0,2%.
knowing the ratio man/woman and white/black is on average 1. There were less black for the period 1930 to 1970 but women were less involved in education, so the disadvantage for both against white male were the same.
PB :
– At very high level in IQ test, it seems that women are still 35% of the total. So how is it possible there chances are divided by 30. It’s reverse problem for IQ : IQ seems to high for women given their results.
– To explain that black do 300 times less well than white, and supposing an average of IQ of 145 for that kind of activities, the difference in IQ shoud be almost 2 sd. So if you discount ashkenazie jews who are 92 of the total, white non jew still do 200 times better than black people. That put black average IQ at 70 whereas most non racist people think its 85-90 …
So the pb with IQ is that it is ok for jewish, but too generous for women and black. Or, it means women and black are in some way not inerested in using their “g” in science or chess.
How are chess scores or Nobel prizes universal measures of intelligence ?
West Africa’s most popular board game is Awalé, the French and English international scrabble rankings are topped by West African guys (From countries with small literate adult populations).
Not universal nor absolute measure but relative measure : it evolves g, people can’t be ranked objectively, and many people get involved in it. It is like sport. So the fact you have 1% woman and 0,2% black tells you either : they can’t and/or they dont want. In the “they can’t” part , you can have all sorts of discrimination (but most of the time, discrimination is stated without proof to avoid debating the question, for example, in sport, it”s hard to see why black arent discriminated for basket or judo or football or box but they would be discriminated for swimming or diving or auto racing).
Chess is not that correlated with g.
Susan Polgar is dumb.
Sorry for bad typing and approximative english language. Read :
” It (Chess or Science) involves g, people can be ranked quite objectively against each other and many people are involved in the process” so it is a sort of real life deviation IQ experiment.
You’re English’s ok.
We’ve see worse on here.
