The Bell curve and intelligence.

"The Bell Curve is a best-selling but controversial 1994 book by the late Harvard psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and American Enterprise Institute political scientist Charles Murray"

The book discusses how intelligence correlates with poverty, education, marriage, out of wedlock births and many other factors.
Higher intelligence folks marry later and have many less children out of wedlock.

Quote:
The authors were reported throughout the popular press as arguing that these IQ differences are genetic, and they did indeed write in chapter 13: "It seems highly likely to us that both genes and the environment have something to do with racial differences." The introduction to the chapter more cautiously states, "The debate about whether and how much genes and environment have to do with ethnic differences remains unresolved."
The minute I looked into the book, I knew the liberals would denounce the book as racist and not politically correct. This is done by people that are maths and stats impaired.

Todays social justice movement cries for equality. (people have different priorities like Mary and Martha) There can never be equality. Some people work with their minds and many work with their hands. Since the book is up there in age, it also depicts the class stratification we see in america that was promised to be eliminated with civil rights endeavors.

IQ was inserted in the discussion of the woman executed for 2 murders.

It is also relevant where the intelligence was purchased.
