US military

The US military has tested IQ for about a century.

There can be no discussion if there is an IQ difference between US Blacks and Whites. The results are clear, the sample size huge, in the Millions.

Of course, PC and the MSM lying press deny and hide such undeniable facts.

What is left is to discuss the validity, culture neutrality of IQ tests, and how much of IQ is heritable, genetic. Template:R that all these issues have been solved, counter to PC.

Average IQ of enlisted men

What you definitely won’t see elsewhere is an explanation of the most likely reason for this racial imbalance: IQ. To be allowed to enlist, you have to score 92 or higher on the military’s IQ test, the Armed Forces Qualification Test (the same one used throughout The Bell Curve.) Since 1992, only 1% of new military enlistees have had IQs below the 30th percentile nationally.
This requirement disqualifies about half of all Hispanics and over 60% of all blacks from joining up, versus less than a quarter of all whites.

People such as Harvard Professor Robert D. “Bowling Alone” Putnam like to talk about how the rest of society can attain the friendly racial relations found in the U.S. military:

“I think we can do a lot to push change along more rapidly. The US military is one example. There was a lot of racial tension around the time of the Vietnam war. Now, polls show that US military personnel have many more friendships across ethnic lines than civilians. And that was deliberate. If officers were told they wouldn’t make colonel if they were seen to discriminate, they changed.”

Okay, but even if we followed Dr. Putnam’s implicit advice and imposed martial law on America, we still wouldn’t be able to follow what is the secret to the military’s success: artificially eliminate the majority of the racial IQ gap by using an IQ-based admissions test.

It’s crucial to remember that, until very recently due to Iraq, three out of ten American youths, and a higher proportion of minority youths, were ineligible for service in the military due to low IQs. This means that the benefits of military acculturation are unavailable to those who presumably need them the most. Last year I proposed an alternativeto military service for kids who think they could benefit from military discipline but aren’t smart enough to pass the AFQT.

The Ed Dwight Story: John F. Kennedy's Crusade to Find and Promote a "Negro Astronaut"...

Had John F. Kennedy not been assassinated, one of the first men to walk on the moon might have been a negro astronaut deliberately picked by his administration to be part of the astronaut training programing because he was a black man.

The Kennedy Administration found their magic flying negro: the only problem was Dwight couldn’t pass the requirements to be an astronaut. From Phelps book, we learn Colonel Chuck Yeager was the one man who dared judge Ed Dwight by the content of his character instead of giving him an immediate, Kennedy Administration approved pass because of the advantageous color of his skin:

Meanwhile, Colonel Yeager’s dim view of Dwight’s abilities grew. Yeager later maintained that Dwight’s abilities were so lacking “we set up a special tutoring program to get him through the academics, as I recall, he lacked the engineering [background] that the other students had.”
Yeager further observes that Dwight worked hard, as did his tutors, but adds that “Dwight just couldn’t hack it… didn’t keep up in flying.” Yeager claims to have worked with Dwight on his flying, but he noted that “our students were flying at levels really beyond his experience. The only prejudice against Dwight,” Yeager recalls, wagging a literary finger," was the conviction that he was not qualified to be in the school" in the first place. (p. 20)

For his trouble in not placing Dwight high enough in the training program, Yeager was called before multiple Civil Rights inquiries, who hounded him with a tenacity not seen until Eric “My People” Holder’s Department of Justice got a hold of George Zimmerman.

This isn’t a joke.

This happened.

Yes, NASA at its earliest stages had already been infiltrated by the Black-Run America (BRA) virus. Had Kennedy not been assassinated, who knows how many more blacks would have been pushed into NASA?

The Astronaut

Waiting his turn at the helm of a flight simulator at a Boeing plant in Seattle, Ed Dwight, 30, sips his coffee in silence and listens as a dozen of his fellow astronaut-trainees banter among themselves. The first black accepted in the space program, Dwight feels like a pariah. Sure, some of the guys sidle up to him occasionally. He assumes they figure it might be to their advantage to stay on good terms with him, since President Kennedy has taken a personal interest in his career. But others, Dwight believes, have decided to give him the cold shoulder. Despite having logged more than 2,000 hours as an Air Force test pilot, Dwight himself sometimes jokes that President Kennedy “picked me out of a turnip patch” to become an astronaut. But he will never forget how deeply honored he felt in November 1961, when he received a personal letter from Kennedy asking him to apply for the space program. Come what may, he plans to prove himself worthy of his Commander in Chief’s high regard.
Three days after the assassination Ed Dwight was unceremoniously dropped from the astronaut training program. “When my protector was killed, I was out,” he says.

Ebony magazine would go deeper into just what the Kennedy Administration had with their token, hand-selected black astronaut candidate. [The Sculptor who would have gone into space, February 1984]:

Dwight believes Kennedy’s death had everything to do with his doom as an astronaut candidate. “It was 100 percent the death of Kennedy,” he says. “Prior to Kennedy’s death I was living awfully high on the hog. I had a private secretary. I was sending out 5,000 press photographs a month, and I made 176 speeches the first year I was in [the astronaut training program at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.].” The Kennedy Administration tried to break away from the White-Protestant-male mold for its astronauts in the 1961 by including one black.
