SR, CRT is simplistic academic garbage, like most of their theories that claim some sophisticated understanding of the world.

Having said that, I will admit I have no inclination to study it.

No, I will stick to relying on evidence rather theories to inform my efforts, and accept any criticism for my imperfect efforts.

Thinking back at university, it was a shame we had to deal with so many stupid theories rather than focus on key issues.

Constructivism, realism, neoliberalism, world systems theory, blah, blah, blah.

What a waste of public resources.

Thankfully there were other subjects that focused on issues, not some clown's theory.

CL, the idea that all races are equal is academic and religious garbage.

One reason why I know I am right, is because of the reluctance of anybody who thinks that all races are equal, to ever defend what they believe. Some people, like yourself, refuse to even discuss it.

Every Race has an attribute which makes it superior to others & attributes which makes them inferior to others !

Hi LEGO,

You said; "the idea that all races are equal is academic and religious garbage."

Not sure what you mean by "equal", it implies some kind of quantitative measurement such as in IQ testing. Is there a test that does not have an inherent bias built in, which skews the results in favour of one group over another. What should one test to determine intelligence, general knowledge, resourcefulness in a practical sense, maybe some kind of problem solving ability. You have said white people are more intelligent than black, which might be true if academic achievement and their ability to conform and prosper in a Western style social is the measure, meeting the social and economic norms of that type of society. You promote Asians as being above even whites on the grands of social and economic success. There is a clear indication that given opportunity Asians value education above other groups, as do Jews, who appear to be more successful than others.

It is my belief that education is the real determinate of success in society given equality of opportunity, which involves far more than the class room facility, and dollars spent on the provision of education. The starting point for success begins at birth, parental influence in a positive way towards education, certainly in the formative years of a child's development is more important than anything else in determining future success. Based on opportunity a person will succeed or fail regardless of race.

To give you an analogy; three students are given a copy of a novel to read, then required to give a critique of that novel. The Asian students book is complete in everyway, the white students copy has some paragraphs missing and the black students copy has several chapters missing. On reading their assignments the teachers assessment is the Asian students knowledge of the novel is full and complete "A plus", the white students knowledge is good but lacks a little of the finer detail a "B" , but the black students knowledge is lacking in so many vital areas that his work is a complete "F". See, Asians do better than whites, and whites are superior to blacks. The fact is the Asian loved the novel, great story. The white kid got the gist of the book, but thought it was just so so. The black kid couldn't understand it at all, thought it was crap and stopped reading it half way through.

Two guys Barack Obama and Donald Trump, both well educated, both given very good opportunity, both at one time required to perform the function of American President. If wealth was the only measure of success then Trump wins easily. If the ability of being able to reason complex matters of state then Obama wins easily. Which guy is the more intelligent? In my opinion and that of the majority is that Obama is the more intelligent, yet Obama is black and Trump is white, should it not be the other way round with your natural order of things.

The more a handful of people provide, the more stupid the masses become !
