Why do LOW IQs have such a hard time understanding race is a construct?

Date: December 23rd, 2025 10:00 AM Author: vermilion church building idiot while psychotic bullshit, the "construct" is true if you go back far enough. there are only 2 races - africans and everyone else. as africans never interbred with neanderthals they are a different species than the rest.

Date: December 23rd, 2025 10:22 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship yeah thats close enough. although i'd argue khosians and abos are a different species as well. khosians diverged from modern humans like 100K years ago and interbred with stuff we don't even have a name for. and abos definitely have some weird shit in them too.

Date: December 23rd, 2025 10:28 AM Author: Godawful Messiness Indirect Expression Even if it is a "social construct," it is obviously a useful one. And from reading your posts, it seems like your beef is that we should be referring to blacks and aboriginals as different species. That's all well and good, but is impractical day to day unless you want to start a "race" (species?) war. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5812902&forum_id=2в#49533529) |

Date: December 23rd, 2025 10:41 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship well the social construct thing was meant to have multiple interpretations. it could be read as being facetious (and saying of course its not just a social construct there are structural differences), or as me saying continental race theory truly is a social construct and doesn't represent the underlying genetic diversity. I suppose its useful? Except it gets blamed for "racism" and attacked as a colonialist-victorian white supremacist system, but yet those same people who attack it want to continually reinforce it and use it to give certain groups social welfare and demonize other groups. I don't understand how being honest about the underlying diversity would start a "race war" vs what we already have. Like I just pointed out, the system we have generates all kinds of controversy, both from people who agree with it and disagree with it. To me it is better to be honest about the underlying phenomena and map them in ways that actually correspond to nature. This is already done quietly in areas like medicine where you can't afford to tell fairy tales. The people worried it is impractical and will be misused and start a race war are usually just clinging to an emotionally satisfying narrative and have no idea what would actually result from being honest about the subject. I'm not saying we should talk about different "species" per se. The concept of species is already broken for domesticated animals where you see wildly divergent phenotypes across smaller genetic differences (and humans are domesticated). I'm just saying that maybe humans should study themselves in a way thats honest instead of reverting to outdated categories and then blaming it on being scared of racism?

Date: December 23rd, 2025 11:02 AM Author: Godawful Messiness Indirect Expression Are you stoned? Even if we removed the "construct" of race, people would still notice "racial" differences and react to them.

Date: December 23rd, 2025 11:30 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship Yeah my point is people pretend like they don't notice and a lot of that is because they are afraid to use race categories. While at the same time they want to hang onto them so they can prop up minorities. Would be better to just be honest about actual genetic clustering and their associated traits.

Date: December 23rd, 2025 11:36 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship in some clusters in the US and parts of Europe--sure. But much of that is social posturing. When it comes down to making the decisions that matter they have to care about structural biological realities. They just come up with polite ways to say it like "population level differences", "ancestry informed risks", "geographic ancestry", "allele frequency variation", "heritable risk patterns" etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5812902&forum_id=2в#49533796) |

Date: December 23rd, 2025 11:51 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship yeah. well I think the honest assessment is that it is both a social construct and natural structure. continental race categories are not natural kinds in the same way that elements are. But non-essential does not mean not real. They are coarse grained high level compressed categories that reasonably informative. My issue with the categories is more that it allows libs to pretend like they aren't real at all, while at the same time smuggling them back in to say that whites are evil and privileged and other "races" deserve all kinds of special treatment. I think we would be better off just being honest about the underlying science and what some of the actual trait differences are between various clusters (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5812902&forum_id=2в#49533829) |

Date: December 23rd, 2025 3:10 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship It's not wrong. I mean idk about the literal truth of niggers being the same structurally as an erectus from 500K years ago, but the quiet truth is that there is not really a clear line we can draw in the sand. It is definitely a spectrum. Case in point, scientists will take two skulls--one 2 million years old from Africa and another that is 150K years old from Asia with massive morphological differences and call them both Erectus. I think the main premise from the book suffers a bit from overdetermination though. A lot of the differences between niggers and other ape species could easily be attributed to other hominids and ghost lineages we don't even have a fossil record for yet. One part I'll say was quite strong was the part about Europeans evolving under colder climates and harsher winters and that contributing toward changes in their planning and problem solving skills. Although I think he might be underestimating the effects Neandrathal DNA had on this. Neandrathals lived in Europe for a very long time before other apes and had all kinds of cognitive, personality and structural brain differences to deal with this, and it is well known that the most profound effects Neandrathal DNA had during cross-breeding was on brain architecture and fat storage.

Date: December 23rd, 2025 3:39 PM Author: Godawful Messiness Indirect Expression tyft. I remember when it became known that Africans lacked any Neanderthal DNA, seemed like a big deal that was basically brushed under the rug.
What's funny is that I initially read your OP and thought "lol wtf" and now I sort of see what you are getting at. The way race is used by libs is completely and totally evil and seems to obviously cause a lot of cognitive dissonance for them (which comes out in some whacky and unhelpful ways.)
But it also feels like the cat is out of the bag and our best hope for more normal "race" relations is for Boomers to exit the stage. Since boomers seem to be the truest of the true believers when it comes to the blank slate stuff. |
