[QUOTE="Er Miqué, post: 1364947, member: 16491"] I'd say it's not IQ or intelligence. It's more about impulse control and postponing gratification. If Blacks could postpone gratification and control their impulses they would be able to succeed in this society a lot more. If they could wait a whole month working for a wage instead of just going to rob somebody because it's quicker they would be better. If they could control their impulses better they wouldn't be as violent, lust-driven and so close to drug or alcohol addiction. And then you got the welfare culture and it exacerbates their weaknesses. Not a lot of people are smart but they still get to succeed: it's just having the determination that you're going to do something and you will. The smarter people aren't the ones who solve all their problems alone but the ones who make others solve their problems. You don't need to have a 140 IQ to run a successful business: you just need to know what to do and you will do it. And that's another problem for Blacks: nobody tells them to become entrepreneurs or at least to get a decent job and have a nice family but it's only "be tha gangsta" and "get tha bitches" stuff they hear all the day. And then you wonder why they are like they are. [/QUOTE]
