CMV:I think its very possible that black people / people with African heritage are, on average, less intelligent than other races

I never said this to anyone, as I know its wrong to think, and I wish I didn't think it, but I just can't help but think that it is true.

For me, based on a few things.

1. my own experiences. Growing up at a small private school where every black student was in the "principles" math and english classes.

2. large studies where blacks are always scoring pretty substantially lower on IQ tests. I hear bias as an explanation, but asians score higher...

3. the facts that blacks are a lot more athletic than whites tells me that it is POSSIBLE for a race to overall be pretty different.

From my experiences, it always seemed - on AVERAGE - to me that blacks were more athletic and asians were smarter and less athletic than whites. I just can't help but feel like blacks are probably less intelligent.

I kind of hate myself for believing this but it just seems obvious to me.
