Why is it that the moment racial issues arise critical thinking is immediately dispatched and emotional hysteria usurps the reins of discourse?

Ok you guys are very misinformed.
Black people are not physically superior to white people.
on average they have more twitch fiber muscles, better stamina, and faster muscle recovery and build rates.
This is a myth perpetuated by sports on TV, however if you watch the Olympics you will see whites/asians/blacks at a NECK to NECK competition athletically.
Saying Blacks are more athletic, or that whites are better at counting money, or that asians are better researchers is completely unfounded and ignorant.
Your playing favorites and ignoring the VAST amount of evidence that disproves your assessment. here. Cuz people like me will shoot you down.
Either you think we are all Homo Sapiens or you do not. There is no middle ground.
And by the way, black people get sunburns all the time too. Just ask them.
And please think about things Critically before you spew prejudice and ignorance around here. Cuz people like me will shoot you down.

I don't know about intelligence, but something I have noticed is that Black people have darker skin than white people. That should tell you something.

Yes there would. Because A is better in A-type-activities and B is better in b-type activities. Differences are good. They are ordained by nature.
Every race has their special tendencies and qualities that make them unique.
Unfortunately PC-culture does not allow us to explore and appreciate those differences.

Anybody ever read the book The End of Racism by Dinesh De Souza? While he made a few valid points re individual African Americans who take fighting racism down an irrational, solipsistic path, he uses the IQ stereotype to declare that yes indeed Blacks are inferior intellectually while Asians are the superior ones over Blacks and Whites.

I think in this instance, with identical upbringings, there wouldn't be a difference.In their own cultures, in their own societies, yes there would be, maybe there are differences, but this isn't down to race.I'm not saying that there are not physical differences, strengths and weaknesses Sky, but I believe that intelligence isn't one of them. And I am an avid supporter of a non-PC world, but this isn't PC, but just bad science!

After starting this thread, I began by getting in on the discussion only to realise that the best option was to sit back and observe.
A few posters acted like it was my research and my program, and my fault!
After reading everyone's input, I believe it works like this:
If we could take 100,000 children from each so called race, for arguments sake let us say, Black, White, Asian, Australian Aborigine (because they are the most insulted by this scientist's claims) - and raise them identically. By that I mean house, clothe, give medical care, feed, nurture, provide emotional support, but above all EDUCATE them identically - I bet there would be no discernible differences in the IQ between the races.
