As suspected, low intelligence in childhood corresponded with racism in adulthood. But the factor that explained the relationship between these two variables was political: When researchers included social conservatism in the analysis, those ideologies accounted for much of the link between brains and bias. People with lower cognitive abilities also had less contact with people of other races. - See more at: http://www.livescience.com/18132-intell ... fOnWX.dpuf

Non-racism is a form of mental retardation, at least in some cases.......

Stupidity is universal. It is the norm for human behaviour. And it cuts no slack. Stupidity doesn't cooperate. At some point it is all going south on you. And that inner stupidity you've hidden away will come out. The reason there is that residual racism in the apparent best of people is because the best are not really there. IQ? A number on a graph measuring nothing beyond prowess at crossword puzzles. Yes, a edge comes with that in a world build around crossword puzzles. Some folks live more comfortable lives than other people as a result. They get themselves a bigger share of the trough. And can put up that equality front masking the darkness of their souls within. Look at Hitler's Germany, Rwanda and Mao/Stalin's legacy? Did the people get overtaken by stupidity when they began slaughtering their neighbours? or was it there all along? Waiting for those missing three square meals to come out? Those who are of a lower IQ? More likely to have food insecurity. And that is what provokes the racialism in them. And it'll do the same with you. Very few know how to defeat their inner demons - prefer to cast them on other folks, the learning disabled and the outsider. The shadow always elsewhere. But that is not where the danger resides. The danger is within you.

The Flynn Effect is real. IQ has increased since even before the 1930's. And the increase is not based on knowledge. Further testing shows that the component of IQ which has increased is abstract reasoning.

Racism is, of course, a relative thing. To say that those who opposed slavery in the 18th Century were racist is true relative to the 21st Century, but so what? They were less racist than their peers. Progress requires a few in every time period to be a little better than the rest, and lead the way.

Low IQ may be politic.
