Also lets just go ahead and admit right now dogs are smarter than all of us. Fed, bathed, loved, poo picked up, tummies scratched and all for a tail wag.edit on 20-5-2012 by Domo1 because: (no reason given)

Black and women may or may not have the same brainpower as white men..
So, why aren't they using it?

It's not about the color of your skin.
What it boils down to is a environmental issue. It's the environment you grow up in.
A young black man that grows up in an upscale area and are raised by financially secure parents (note I said Parent's as in both of them) are most likely going to grow up with a good education, manners, a conscience and the ability to be a productive member of society.
A young black man that grows up in the ghetto with a single mother who is on entitlement programs and who has never had a job and expects everything to be given to her and has older gang members to act as a father figure or mom's 3 boyfriends a month as a "daddy" will grow up to be.......well, look around you now and in the news to see what you get.
Same goes if your white, red, yellow, black, brown or WHATEVER........
I have been around awhile and lived in many, many cities and country settings and really have found this to be true. At least that's my belief.
If you could not trust science then why do you NOW?

(the rest is too steriotypical to consider, or you are talking about a specific person you know)
It is proven that violence is more prevalent in the African-American community, yet one national program alone can not combat the issues that provoke and entice aggressive behavior.
Consider these recent findings. Researchers, using brain imaging technology that captures blood flow to "working" parts of the brain, analyzed how men and women process language. All subjects listened to a novel. When males listened, only the left hemisphere of their brains was activated. The brains of female subjects, however, showed activity on both the left and right hemispheres. This activity across both hemispheres of the brain may result in the strong language skills typically displayed by females
Boys generally demonstrate superiority over female peers in areas of the brain involved in math and geometry. These areas of the brain mature about four years earlier in boys than in girls, according to a recent study that measured brain development in more than 500 children. Researchers concluded that when it comes to math, the brain of a 12-year-old girl resembles that of an 8-year-old boy. Conversely, the same researchers found that areas of the brain involved in language and fine motor skills (such as handwriting) mature about six years earlier in girls than in boys.
Notably, male brains contain about 6.5 times more gray matter -- sometimes called 'thinking matter" -- than women. Female brains have more than 9.5 times as much white matter, the stuff that connects various parts of the brain, than male brains.
On average, males and females have the same median IQ of 100. This is a matter of test construction. IQ tests purposely eliminate questions that lead to sex biases in the score. Males and females show average differences on subsections of IQ tests. Males are better on some sections, as spatial questions, while females are better on reading and some other verbal skills.
