In math terms, the comparison of how much two individuals know is, at best, a partial ordering. It is possible to say that one knows everything which another knows, but it is also possible (and almost always) that two are not comparable. That is, each knows something the other doesn't. Comparability is much more likely for a fixed subject. In mathematics, most sciences and IQ (as we measure), I would put myself ahead of Obama. I don't hesitate to believe that there are areas he knows more than me.

But yet you didn't add you name to the list that claimed they were smarter. I give you extra points for humility. :sun
 
How am I supposed to know that? Does it matter? Why continue to make a big deal of it? It's far in the past, and it seems to me he has acquitted himself of any suspicion of unworthiness quite nicely, simply going by the public record. We all know that acceptance is not based solely on grades and test scores.

we heard for eight years that Bush had a DUI 20 years before anyone heard of him and that he was a C student at Yale-a constant howling that ended when it turned out that pompous ass Kerry had even lwer grades. we also heard unsupported BS that Bush was a Coke fiend (as opposed to Obama who was a confirmed crack head) and was "AWOL" despite an Honorable discharge. Pointing out that Obama did not get into Harvard on merit is certainly legitimate
 
How is it someone that graduated from Harvard with the exceptional honors that Obama did, is not be qualified to get in??? Where is the proof he got in on affirmative action anyway? Isn't this just another of the racist talking points we heard from the tea party about his birth certificate???

You don't seem to get an obvious point. What Obama did 2-3 years after he was accepted at Harvard is not valid. Its like all you people who whine about Bush getting into Harvard B School (where executive potential is a major consideration-far more than grades) being told WELL BUSH ENDED UP BEING PRESIDENT SO OBVIOUSLY HE HAD WORLD CLASS EXECUTIVE TALENT
 
"supremacist" a person who promotes or advocates the supremacy of any particular group

From our past conversations I know that you are not a white supremacist you think you are far more intelligent then 95% of the human race

I think that Dr Sanders failed to take into account just how many non minority students have a huge advantage in thier entry exams in that they probably have access to the exams prior to taking them, just one of the benefits that non minority students have over minority students. I just look at ex-President Bush how could he have got into the same school you went to "Yale" and then how could he have graduated.

If SAT's are used to determine who gets in and who does not it appears that maybe just maybe some people get in because their daddies had contacts that normal more deserving students did not have.

Why should money or daddy ever determine who gets into our best universities any more then other factor?

I hate to upset you but I am more intelligent than 95% of the human race. actually based on IQ scores and a score of 1570 (circa 1975) SAT Its more like 99% of the human race.

why do poor whites do better on such tests than even wealthy blacks (who tended to be the majority of blacks who got into Yale with AA)

how do you know the commitee that decided to enroll obama didn't take these years into consideration?

gee because his grades at harvard were earned after he was admitted

are you suggesting that white people are intellectually superior to black people?

it sure looks like you're about to jump off that cliff.
 
Yeah, moby, sure, whatever you say. You moby's always seem to drop little clues which reveal your act. For instance, to left-wing hacks, everyone to the right of moderate is FAR-RIGHT whereas to a conservative, a FAR-RIGHT person is someone who is, you know, far to the right, so far right that they are seen as extremist and don't have much overlap with conservatives and libertarians.

So tell us, Mr. ex-Far Right Man, what was your membership # in the John Birch Society?

lolwut? You guys got a new name for insulting those that disagree with you? And where did it come from--the Sean Hannity show? But I digress. Resorting to personal insults is a clear sign of being unwilling, or unable, to refute an opposing view.

yeah, and I was a liberal once. then I grew up and had to get a job and pay taxes.

I did the same, and it only solidified my new views. What's your point?

Calling someone a racist is a personal attack that should not be tolerated especially since nothing RD has said indicates he is a racist. Pointing out facts-even if they are disturbing to those who excuse certain cultural pathologies-is not racist

We are clearly reading different threads, then. You and Riverdad have dug yourselves a very deep hole, and you (plural) don't seem to be getting out of it any time soon.

I suggest that Black students rarely make the same scores white students do. I would suggest that cultural pathologies explain why Blacks who were enslaved 150 years ago almost never produce Phi Beta Kappas at top universities and a group that is two generations removed from mass genocide produce dozens of phi beta kappas each year at all the top universities. The latter group values higher education far more than the former
 
..a group that is two generations removed from mass genocide produce dozens of phi beta kappas each year at all the top universities...

only a small percentage of Jewish-Americans are descended from Holocaust survivors.

so your comparison sucks.

the only hole appears to be a figment of your imagination. Nothing RD has posted is evidence of racism. I note "racist" is a term the left throws around when they are losing arguments or they hear uncomfortable facts that cut at their enabling of pathologies that plague black culture in the USA including massive rates of unwed parents, massive percentages of blacks who fail to graduate high school or who are engaged in illegal drug use

that's just proof that IQ tests aren't accurate measures of intelligence. I mean, you think that Democrats are socialists, wealthy people who support tax hikes are part of a conspiracy theory to get poor voters and now it's clear that you think white people are inherently more intelligent than blacks. go figure.

what is the percentage who have relatives who survived the holocaust versus blacks who can prove they were descended from Slaves. And Jews were oppressed all over europe-being it Isabella kicking the Jews out of spain to the constant oppression of the Jews in areas such as Russia and the Ukraine etc.

Don't dodge his question. Try addressing it directly. Coward.

Actually, RD admitted that he thinks whites are genetically predisposed to being more intelligent than blacks. That's called racism, but since you probably agree with him and supporters of racism rarely admit that they support racism, you probably won't understand why calling blacks inherently less intelligent than whites is racist.

Its clear you refuse to admit what I am really saying and instead would rather make up your own version

why do blacks who attend elite prep schools fail to achieve the same scores as whites from mediocre public schools? I have argued its cultural rather than genetic inferiority consistently

haven't you heard? it can't be racist if its true!!!

I simply stated that I reject creationist thinking. Your embrace of an appeal to some mystical force is not a rational position.

don't know if that's even true, don't know why if it is, but to comment I would need to study it myself and not take your word for it since you're consistently full of ****.
