    And I would argue some of those stereotypes are warranted. What do the demographics of your neighborhood look like?

    Then you haven't seen any IQ test on the subject.

    Looks like another victim of Passover Syndrome. What a sad condition.

    And Stephen A shows why he is one of the best sport commentators in the business.

    More white students graduate because of raw intelligence

    It's always funny to me how liberals (who are obviously not racist) are very quick to point out that blacks are faster and jump higher, but will scream racism if you say whites are smarter

    I don't know if its necessarily because they are from broken homes. The more talented players are usually the ones that leave earlier. For instance take Shane Battier, he stayed in college for 4yrs and he has never been anything more than a role player as compared to Lebron James or Kobe Bryant who came out right out of HS and into the NBA and both have been very successful.

    Lebron came from a single parent home and Kobe came from a two parent home.

    - - - Updated - - -

    How many white players have come into the NBA straight out of HS?

    Because there's a billion African blacks and only the best ones are coming here genius.

    Global IQ has been tested many times and the dark continent has been found lacking.

    My school is filled with all sorts of Hindus, and it's the same story. There's a billion of them and only the smart ones come here

    Compare the total number of these smart Africans to the total number of Africans.

    There's a reason Africa never did much in this world and it's not the fault of the white man

    Why? Did someone tell you that you couldn't quit school and get a job?

    Is that your final answer?

    Because only 1.2% of college basketball players go on to the NBA.

    So most players are better off with a degree than being black.

    What's the point of going to school longer and risking career-ending injury when you can go make money. One has to consider that a lot of young men in this situation are coming from poor families. Lets see you stay in school when a job offers you $100,000+ and your family has been living on food stamps.

    It doesn't matter what the reason is. The idea that a guy can't quit school and turn pro just because they play a sport is stupid. We don't tell other people who are in college that they can't do it.

    You're missing the point. He can stay in school.. the point is.. he has a SCHOLARSHIP where the school is funding him to be there. What's the point in funding him for an "education" if he won't finish? Like I said, let them go straight to minor leagues or stay the whole time. College shouldn't be a minor league when it comes to sports.

    That is the risk they take and they are banking on that athlete to bring in more revenue than they are giving away in the form of a scholarship. No college student regardless of being on scholarship or what they do as an extra curricular activity should be told they cannot quit and find a job.

    Also what if that guy does blow his knee out? Maybe if the college can force them to stay, they should pay them for the lost wages because of that rule.

    The only "White privilege" I can think of is apparently being the only group of people on the planet capable of racism.

    At least that's what liberals keep telling me.

    And so why is it you're not at all concerned with why those sterotypes exist in the first place?

    its all about socio-economics and culture.

    When Jews first came to the USA, they had much lower IQ scores. And they had a much higher poverty rate than today.

    There's tons of evidence.

    IQ scores, genius rates, education gaps etc.

    But the most glaring evidence of all is that the african people had a head start on EVERYONE but were 1000 years behind the human race when the white man came to africa.

    The africans were carrying things on their heads for god's sake.

    Oh wait, they still do that today.

    It's about genetics, and your point proves it.

    The jews came here with nothing, and quickly took over many american industries.

    The africans have been here since the 1600's and all they do today is dunk basketballs and rap about dunking basketballs.
