Racist have Lower IQ/intelligence on average.

Quote:


Dr. Gordon Hodson, a professor of psychology at the university and the study's lead author, said the finding represented evidence of a vicious cycle: People of low intelligence gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, which stress resistance to change and, in turn, prejudice, he told LiveScience.

Why might less intelligent people be drawn to conservative ideologies? Because such ideologies feature "structure and order" that make it easier to comprehend a complicated world, Dodson said. "Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice," he added.

Dr. Brian Nosek, a University of Virginia psychologist, echoed those sentiments.

"Reality is complicated and messy," he told The Huffington Post in an email. "Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies."

Even atheism, agnosticism and theism?

I don't know if all of them are, but a good chunk of them are.

racism is an affliction, like schizophrenia, because it fills the thoughts with false delusions. it limits the flourishing of intelligence because intelligence can only unfold in the effective truth of the absolute reality. so when somebody lets racism into their mind-field, then they let themselves fall into a consciousness-related prison of their own design. and in this self-created prison, they cannot see the effective truth of our equality, which in turn limits the potential of the intelligence to unfold itself.

There are many intelligent "racists" has well, how do you think the graduates of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton feel about black culture?

1. They won't hire them in many cases.

2. They won't live next to them.

3. They won't date, marry, or socialize with them.

4. If you ask them their true feelings about blacks, they would tell you they can't stand them.

So the fact of the matter is, the most educated people in society don't really care for different races, and they don't admit it all the time, but if you have socialized with these highly educated/intelligent people like I have, you then understand their true feelings about blacks.

i reckon that their intelligence, despite all of their wealth and prestige, would not amount to much if it was possible to scrutinize them without their protective layer of prestige. granted, it does not make them inferior, but it is prudent to still keep in mind that many institutes of higher education are more concerned with prestige and wealth, and far less about unfolding intelligence in any real, effective capacity.

I agree and I think everyone has racist thoughts to one degree or another.  And I also think racism is based in personal insecurity.  Some more, some less but it's part of human makeup it seems.  Even Gandhi was racist it seems.

You got evidence of this, or are you talking out your ass with the same fallacy of distribution that many racist seem to be prone too?

I've talked to many well educated that hate blacks or hispanics etc.  That's pretty good evidence to me. :shrug: I think education is only part of the equation in racism.

"You got evidence of this"

Like the "solid" evidence you presented by Dr.Hodson? :rofl2:

You started this topic to suggest that since stupid white rednecks are racist, this proves lower intelligence and racist views are correlated, but you failed.

Yeah, well consider the source that is doing the determining of "well educated".

No, you didn't present any evidence, only made a claim.

And besides, one or two people could obviously be exceptions to the general rule.

Which a general rule is what was stated.

I'm not talking about one or two people.  I'm talking a lot over a lifetime.  I presented it as anecdotal evidence and it is. As I said almost everyone I've ever known well has made racist comments.

No, it is only a claim icelander, you don't have any eivdence of any of these people even existing.

I don't have evidence of these people existing? :curbyourenthusiasm:

You're back to this tactic again.  :lol:  In that case you have no evidence of any racism here or anywhere ever.  Especially as you likely don't exist.

How about socializing/living in a very affluent area of New Jersey for over 17 years? 

This highly educated area was always accused of being racist by the other areas of the state (because of the high Republican voting), these people did NOT care for black people, the look on their faces when they saw a black person was very obvious.

They did not want to live in towns with blacks, they did not want their children to go to school with blacks, they did not want their children to play sports with blacks, they did not want to go shopping if blacks were at the stores.

I don't know what else you want to hear other than my own experiences, will these people consider themselves racists?  No they won't, but when push comes to shove, they are even more racist than the rednecks down south, if you can't recognize that fact you are in denial.

Sure icelander, if your doctor is a racist, it should be fairly easy to provide such evidence.
