Obstruct at every turn and question their IQs.

I was reading an article over at my favorite website for politics today, and I saw where republicans, once again, blocked one of the president's nominations. This one was for the Secretary of Labor, and Tom Perez was their latest victim. This latest move by republicans in Washington represents what has been a consistent pattern by republicans since the Obama presidency: block and obstruct at every turn.

The article by Lauren Victoria Burke was interesting and insightful as it outlined not only this latest obstruction but many others which might have been over looked because of the mundane nature of these types of things.

As Burke writes:  "There are currently 82 vacancies for federal judges around the U.S.  By using the secret “hold,” Republican Senators don’t have to reveal they are blocking a nominee.

Some in the media, such as veteran journalists Ron Fournier to E.J. Dionne, have written that it’s President Obama that must adjust to Congress or in some way adjust his strategy. But clearly the strategy of obstruction President Obama has faced during the 112th and 113th Congresses is historic.

With compromise disappearing and Congress getting close to nothing done, members are leaving.  The Senate has had a 40% turnover in the last five years.  Many say the culture in the Senate driven by unwillingness to compromise with President Obama have led to the historic obstruction."
Go figure. But what is driving this new attitude towards the American President? Ideology? 
"Of course it's ideology, Field; the man is a Socialist. What else could it be?"
I will give you one guess.


On that note I will segue to another article I read over at Politic365,today.
This one shed some light on one of the darlings of the conservative movement.

"In a recently released video from an American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation analyst Jason Richwine asserts that Latinos, as well as Native Americans, and blacks have demonstrated that they are incapable of “assimilating” and adjusting their IQs to be on par with whites, Jews and Asians.


Here Richwine explains the differences between European and non-European immigrants. Specifically that non-European immigrants should be treated differently than European immigrants so that “we can get assimilation to work.”

In this video Richwine states that the U.S. should find smart, uneducated people from other countries and allow them to enter the country:

This week Richwine’s dissertation from Harvard University was revealed to contain a passage in which he questions whether Latinos’ IQs could ever be on par with whites:

“No one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against.”

Folks, in case you didn't know, the Heritage Foundation who this clown represents is leading the charge against immigration reform on behalf of conservatives here in America. This is where Jim DeMint took his wheelbarrow and unloaded the Brinks truck full of money that was offered to him.


"We believe that every person is created equal and that everyone should have equal opportunity to reach the ladder of success and climb as high as they can dream," Heritage said in a statement released by spokesman Mike Gonzalez.
Richwine was not at Heritage when he wrote the paper. In the acknowledgments section of his dissertation, he thanked the American Enterprise Institute, another conservative think tank in Washington, "for its generous support, without which this dissertation could not have been completed."
No Jason, thank you! We always like when the true feelings of ignorant people are exposed, no matter how hard they try to hide their intentions behind the cover of fancy think tanks and political organizations.

Another story along these lines are that Senators have to nominate candidates for Federal Judges. The wingnuts won't do it and that's another reason why there's so many vacancies.

Field, I hear ya and I certainly feel ya because I am Black too. But I am wondering about our race and it's ability to assimilate. When I think about the high percentage of out-of-wedlock children, the black-on-black crime, the killings in the streets, the lack of interest in education, the drug addicts, the alcoholics, and domestic violence--I just don't see much intelligence or any ability for us to assimilate. Everybody else seems to be able to do it except our race.

There have been numerous studies about why we can't and they all point to lower IQs. Now I don't know for sure but there certainly is 'something' wrong with us. We keep sinking deeper and deeper. Just look at Charles Ramsey and how he talks, looks and thinks.

Maybe it's a lack of will, dignity and dis-unity that's masking our intelligence...Hell, I don't know.

But we sure seem to be at the rear when it comes to the brains category among Americans. And don't get me started on our cousins-- the African or the Jamaicans. But, you know, it might be God's Will that we are like we are and therefore there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Maybe Jason Richwine has a point in supporting to the same conclusion as the Bell Curve and other Scientists about us? I'm just asking.

One more thing: Many bm are marrying WW and having children to get out of this black sinking ship. I find this interesting and a confirmation that no one wants to be Black in America. Do you see the same? just asking.

Unfortunately, FN's don't carry any weight next to this esteemed man.

Since living here in America, many studies have been done in regards to intelligence. Ask yourself....what results will come forth from a group that wants the results to reflect their superiority. These tests are given to people that are "made in America". Do you think for one moment that the results will reflect their race to be inferior. It's mandatory for these periodic "tests" to come out to maintain "group think". Being in the first class of integration, I know the deal about these so called smart white. Been in the same class with them-up close. Now I am sure that the test are given to lowly motivated Blacks who only concern is to hustle and "make money". Other groups they like to test is improvised Look at the schools in America. Ninety percent of minority students are taught by white women...and you act surprised at their educational level. Test the students at Achievable Dream School here in Newport News, VA. Don't continue to develop your knowledge from people with a vested interest in your failure. Allow me to run-on in writing on this computer. I write like I talk...I know we are all able to understand the message...not the vehicle. I also find it so peculiar that these scholars never compare the Asians versus the whites. So Black people "chill", these reports are not new. This is a race of people that determines what is right in all things in America- from beauty to smarts. Only when Blacks realize that the words from the "master" aint gospel-da'be awesome.

"I am Black too. But I am wondering about our race and it's ability to assimilate."

Relax don't worry. It's taken a lot longer than it should have, no argument there. Everyone knows how cold and distant they are. It's taken us 36 years to teach the blank man the high 5 (...I still say that's where they got the idea for the I-phone touch.) I'm so proud of them.

However, let me make a few suggestions to you, believe this:

1. I would suggest you start looking at the community around you and become more active in it. It sounds to me that you either live around a lot of blanks or are dependent on their outlets of information. Don't give up. There is still hope for you. Pull yourself together. Don't you know that some of them are just trying to deceive you? Get a subscription to Ebony and Black Enterprise magazines. Read them!

Don't let them define your reality. For example, the "All Knowing and Powerful IQ test" measures what...intelligence? That's a misnomer. Everyone knows the test is biased toward a partcular group. And isn't it obvious that intelligence without common sense and concern for "others" is dangerous and the cause of the many ills plaguing the planet?

There are thousands of success stories in our community, don't let those silly little gremlins make you think otherwise by letting them focus your attentions away from their lack of will to do the right thing.

2.Forget about assimilating. 7 out of 10 people in this country are Blanks. (The balance= 1 Black, 1 Brown and 1 yellow.)It is not our inability to assimilate...it is the majority populations' commitment to resist our inclusion, that is the problem and it is no accident.

Out of that 7, two are english, two are german, one is italian, one is irish and one is french. Even if it were possible which one do you want to assimilate with? Be yourself. We have our own rich history to write.

3. It should also be noted that three of the seven whites are jealous, fearful and envious of the spiritual nature of black, brown and yellow people. This leaves four whites who in turn have divested themselves from the resulting conflict and chaos; they don't have to enter the fray for scraps at the bottom of the economic and political heap. Is this how democracy works? It's no wonder why they are silent?

4. Promote the Hue-man agenda of unity and purpose and reverse the "Divide and Conquer" mentality of the oppressor. Remember the greeks? Weren't they supposed to be great thinkers (more like thieves)? They dumbed down pretty fast because now they can't even balance a checkbook? What happened to them? Weren't the romans the builders of a great empire? They must have dumbed down, too. What happened to them?

Blanks by nature are not socially adept. It is futile to try to try work with someone that doesn't want to work with you. (See Robinson Crusoe; Manifest Destiny) It is just as difficult to help someone who doesn't want to admit they have a problem. Have you ever tried to explain "Soul" to a blank. No, not the died and gone to heaven soul, but the elusive "Soul Power" possessed by most POC. Don't believe me, then ask one of them," What is Soul?"
However, I believe progress is being made. They have tried Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Fascism , Capitalism and Racism and none of these seem to be working for them.
Why do you think they elected a Black man president? Only a POC could untangle the mess Pres. Obama was faced with. Unfortunately they have abandoned him and retreated to their cocoons.

So don't aspire to assimilate. Think outside the box because we all deserve better than this inept congress and supreme court.

Richwine's dissertation proves that he is not so bright.

Any neurologist and psychologist would have advised him against using IQ test as a sole intelligence measure. Any geneticist would have explained to him that a) IQ and genetic markers have almost no correlation, and b) that it is moronic it is to take one set of genes (the Haplogroup, or what we can "see" as 'color'), and correlate it with something unmeasurable genetically because it's polygenic, and that the few "poly genes" we are familiar with that may correlate with intelligence are in sets of genes completely different, unrelated,
and randomly changing at around the same rate in all Haplos.

Conservative politics work almost as a 'gateway' into prejudice against others, say the Canadian academics.

Field it is unimaginable how far the roots of racism has entrenched itself. This discussion of intelligence differentiating has been occurring since the beginning of time. From the slave states of Roman Empire, through the Christian Crusades, Europeans taming the "savages" of other continents, Master Race ideas of Hitler and upwards through present day. The Heritage Foundation continues to spew its racist rhetoric. It’s just mind boggling. I apologized beforehand for using simple nomenclature for some of my fellow "no so intelligent" posters: Heritage Foundation analyst Jason Richwine is full of shit.

It must be hard being a poor white. They have the "priviledge" in this society and are still poor and uneducated, especially in the spiritual sense. I used to call for DNA or reparations but listening to some of these blanks made me change my mind. I'd be devastated if I found out I was related to one of them (Unless of course they are a rockefeller or dupont!)...now I just want reparations.

From their posts here and other blah sites they seem quite comfortable in their skin. Then again the brown man in the WH drove them crazy but they should be alright in about 3 1/2 years.

may god please OBSTRUCT hobama as he seeks to murder assata shakur!!!!!!!!

shame on the hobama loving suicidal sheeple!!!!!!!


Whoever imagines our first black president and his first black attorney general had little or nothing to do with naming Assata Shakur its “most wanted terrorist” list is deep in denial and delusion. “Terrorist,” as my colleague Glen Ford points out, has never been anything but a political label, applied by the authorities for their own political purposes. The international legal angle as well, with Assata Shakur receiving political asylum from the Cuban government the last 30 years, also makes her placement on that list something that Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama absolutely had to carefully consider and approve..
It's been a week now since the $2 million dollar bounty and “most wanted terrorist” announcement. In that time, not a single nationally noted African American “leader” has raised his or her voice. Not Ben Jealous. Not a single black mayor or member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Not Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, and certainly not the presidential lap dog Al Sharpton. Sharpton has worn wires for the FBI more than once, and is credibly accused of trying to get close to people who were rumored to be close to Assata Shakur in the 1980s. Those people wisely avoided Rev. Al.

Such is the pressure of subservient conformity among the black political class that not a single African American politician, religious leader, or personage of national note has opened his or her mouth in Assata Shakur's defense, with the solitary exception of Angela Davis, once a political prisoner and fugitive in the days before the word “terrorist” had been coined. Lockstep conformity like this is hard to shake. In their 45 minutes in an otherwise excellent Democracy Now show mostly devoted to Assata Shakur's case, neither Shakur's attorney Lennox Hinds nor Angela Davis could bring themselves even to hint that the president and attorney general were responsible for branding her as the nation's “most wanted terrorist.”



President Obama obviously hopes the label “terrorist” will scare present and future activists from learning what there is to know from the proud traditions of African American and other resistance to empire. He hopes to intimidate and frighten ordinary people, especially young people, into the same kind of conformity as their supposed “leaders.”

Back in 2007 and 2008, candidate Barack Obama confided to editorial boards and others a number of times that Ronald Reagan was his favorite president. We should have listened to him a lot more closely. It's a safe guess now, that J. Edgar Hoover is his favorite cop.

“…Prior to my date of departure to Iran, Lifetime television released a television bio-picture called “Betty & Coretta” which was a sensationalistic misrepresentation of my grandparents, my mother and me. This film aside from being poorly acted, and shallow in depth also threatened to inflame old controversies, and open unhealed wounds and to remind the public of sad outcomes without ever identifying B.O.S.S.I., the C.I.A., F.B.I. and other forces that set the climate for my grandfather’s assassination, and made my family a long-suffering casualty of COINTELPRO, and other anti-Black repression programs. Naturally, anything done to stir up old hatred of The Shabazz Family will impact me as the name-sake, and first male heir of Malcolm X, and whether I am high or low in fortunes does not exempt me from this reality.

The formula for a public assassination is: the character assassination before the physical assassination; so one has to be made killable before the eyes of the public in order for their eventual murder to then deemed justifiable. And when the time arrives for these hits to be carried out you’re not going to see a C.I.A. agent with a suit & tie, and a badge that says “C.I.A.” walk up to someone, and pull the trigger. What they will do is to out-source to local police departments in the region of their target, and to employ those that look like the target of interest to infiltrate the workings in order to set up the environment for the eventual assassination (character, physical/incarceration, exile) to take place.

That's true. Who the hell wants to think and be like Richwine and others like him? Assimilation works two ways, when it comes to the human race. Different races meet and come together on common ground, which is our humanity. The history of Whites like Jason Richwine prove again and again that they themselves STILL can't assimilate into the human race simply because they want to prove they are better than being part of the human race. That arrogance makes them inhumane and consequently they must 'justify' their inhumanity as superior to humanity.....

That White, inhumane better-than interpretive thought system continues to repeat itself as an "insult" to humanity. It always end in failure, shame, guilt and misery for everyone, esp for Whites themselves: Slavery, the genocide of American Indians/reservations, lynchings, racism, and a violent untrustworthy society and world devoid of peace, respect or love and the right for ALL humans to "be".

There's a strong correlation of IQ to income all over the world. This isn't talked about in polite circles, but there has been a ton of academic research on IQ across many categories for years. The results are too politically incorrect to be talked about openly. It's just shouted down as racist and that's that.

Off the top of my head I remember reading about the follwing in America: black IQ 85, Hispanic 92, white 100, northeast asian (northern Chinese, Japanese, Korean) 105, Jewish 115. There's a very strong correlation between those scores and income and a lack of violent crime.

The most interesting thing I've read about IQ is very controversial. Basically, you don't want your genetic ancestors to be from along the equator. The further north your ancestors were, the higher your average IQ. This holds in north/south asia, north/south Europe, north/south Africa, and even the origanl settlers of the Americas. Who has the highest IQ of the American natives? Eskimos.

Basically, this guy Richwine is just right, and a huge influx of people with lower average IQs than 100 is going to be a net drain on the people already in America. It's not like this is going to be good for blacks either.

I.Q. tests only test your ability to take I.Q. tests, it has no meaning in the real world. (Unless you are a sexually repressed woman in her early twenties in19h century Vienna.) Other than that I.Q. tests are not worth they paper they are printed on.

The U.S. Army has carried out more I .Q. tests than any other organisation in the world. They discovered that with a white invigilator white people scored higher than blacks. With a black invigilator, there was no difference, except that black and white people from north of the mason-dixon line tested smarter than black and white people from below the mason-dixon line. So by changing the skin colour of the guy in charge makes a huge (15 point) difference to the measured I.Q. they have proved the worthlessness of the test as a scientific test.

Looks like Rancidwind lost his think tank gig over confusing descriptive and prescriptive "racial" phenomena. The same fate should befall any academic who forgets that "race" is a social power construct the sole purpose of which is subjugation of those designated as inferior by those designated as superior. By asking the question in terms of race, you've already determined your answer. This is doubly so when the measure is itself a test of individual assimilation to the majority cultural norm as is the IQ test.

IQ tests are culturally biased. They are based on American culture. Also they measure the degree of education.

If you are in the eleventh grade you will score higher than if you are in the ninth. Again the type of education you can afford will also come into play.

It does not really measure the degree of spatial, cognitive, or emotional intelligence. It only measures ones accumulated bank of knowledge or facts and particularly as it relates to the American culture.
