Someone recently hacked into my Yahoo account and sent messages to my peeps pretending to be me. I would like to apologize to all the folks on my e-mail list for that. Hopefully the problem has been corrected. I have a lot of haters, but I am not going to blame it on one of them just yet. Hackers will be hackers.
Anyway, social media can be a wonderful thing. We tweet;we blog;we Facebook; and it's all good.
Unfortunately, it seems that some folks are a little overly sensitive when it comes to being tweeted on. It's almost Christmas so I guess it's time for the Grinch to appear.
"The governor of Kansas faced an online trashing Friday for tattling on a teenaged girl who sent out a critical tweet during a visit to the state capitol.
Emma Sullivan, 18, was hauled into her principal's office and ordered to write letters of apology after one of Governor Sam Brownback's office contacted the tour organizer to complain about the offending note on the social networking site Twitter.
"Just made mean comments at gov brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot," Sullivan wrote, despite not saying anything to Brownback during the visit -- she said she wrote it to get a laugh out of her friends.
The principal "laid into me about how this was unacceptable and an embarrassment," Sullivan later told the Wichita Eagle.
"He said I had created this huge controversy and everyone was up in arms about it... and now he had to do damage control."
Sullivan had just 60 followers on Twitter when she wrote the offending note Monday. Two days later her story hit the local news ahead of the generally slow Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
By Friday morning, she was on CNN discussing the issue of censorship and free speech.
A lively discussion filled a dedicated Facebook page. Nearly 1,300 new people signed up to follow her Twitter feed, which until that point had been primarily devoted to her thoughts on the Twilight series and other typical teen musings.
"I'm mainly shocked that they would even see that tweet and be concerned about me," Sullivan -- who did not immediately return a request for comment -- told the paper Wednesday.
"I just honestly feel they're making a lot bigger deal out of it than it actually was."
Brownback's office regularly monitors social media for references to the Republican governor to see what his constituents are saying about him, spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag told the Eagle.
His secretary forwarded a copy of the tweet to organizers of the school-sponsored event "so that they were aware what their students were saying in regards to the governor's appearance," she said.
"We just felt it was appropriate for the organizers to be aware... because of what was said in the tweet."
Brownback's office did not immediately return a request for comment Friday." [Story]
Republicans sure are a bunch of sensitive folks. You would think that the governor of Kansas has better things to do than to snitch on an 18 year old for speaking her mind about him.
Finally, I still can't get over my man Andrew Sullivan.
I have an open challenge to him over on the aforementioned twitter. Whenever he is ready to take up my challenge, he can pick a spot in D.C. (I will pay for it), ride that bicycle of his over, and then we can get it on Jeopardy style.
We could charge a small fee for admission and the winner gets to give the proceeds to his favorite charity.
He will have a chance to prove the Bell Curve, and I will get a chance to show the world that he is full of s*&t.

Must be a well kept secret. Who is this group of whites that plots to surpress these results? Can't be white liberals, they want to spend and spend and spend so if there were good result they would make sure we hear about them over the bad ones.
Do you mean kicks ass overall or just in comparison to american born so called African Americans?
This is teenage stuff - no more than that. Don't mean shit. Sensitive repugs you betcha. Then a school person felt the need to do something. Some of the shit I/we pulled those many years ago and caught doing so would today have several entities involved. Punishment was done in house.
Glad I saw this.

"Try and deny reality, not one city, not one nation now or ever in the history of the world has been successful in terms of western standards while dominantly black. Not one"
You're full of $hit.
In Prince Georges County Maryland, the median household income and education level ROSE significantly when the county demographics changed from majority white to majority black.
Oh yeah, the artificially created black middle class funded by government who steals from taxpayers to create jobs for many blacks.
I suppose you know you live in "murdaland" wonder how Princes Georges county got this nickname? I have been through Princes George county recently. Step outside your gated community - the ghetto and blackness has arrived. See how good it looks when all the whites and asians flee after the reduction in government creates a black job deficit.

Until the War of 1812, Indian peoples east of the Mississippi had been formidable opponents of American expansion. They were not only skilled fighters, but could call on European imperial allies. But Indians were warriors, not professional soldiers. They had to feed their families and could not remain in the field all year. The professional soldiers they faced suffered from neither of these liabilities. The soldiers might lose battles, but they did not lose wars. American advantages in numbers, equipment, and logistics were too formidable. Americans’ tactics were too ruthless. The pressures they put on Indians were relentless.

Some things never change, but today I'm going to talk about the hacked Yahoo account. Well, I was on the receiving end of a friend's e-mail that was hacked. Okay, so I see this e-mail from her, but it didn't have a subject. I thought that was strange but I opened it. Damn, she was sending me advertisement for the blue pill. Now, I had not been in the arms of this women for over 10 years, so I'm thinking "why is she sending me this now :-). Was I that bad? Why did she send me this e-mail on a Sunday morning? I blew it off but another one came in about 4 days. Okay, I called her and said "what's up with the e-mails". She laughed her ass off and said, "oh, you got one too". At first I didn't know how to take that becuase of course I have one. I mean, it works most of the time but damn... what did she find so funny. I guess she had been hacked :-}

I trust you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Too bad, trolls and hackers didn't read my message of gratitude.

dear Field, I have been on your blog for several years as a loyal follower. I am disappointed, actually I am pissed because I did not receive one of those emails. Is it because you don't have me listed as one of your best posters?
It seems as though hackers go after the top mailing list in one's mailbox and obviously you don't have me listed as a top contact. You have ruined my Xmas.
Tell me this. Did Desert get hacked? I hope so...she is too mouthy anyway. There should be some restrictions on people in PR talking too much.

This is going to be a long ass and rambling post. Proceed at your own risk.
Regarding race and IQ
I'm black (African) now living in the U.S, and have a high measured IQ (149). IQ tests measure almost nothing apart from test taking skills (though I do kick serious ass playing Jeopardy or any game requiring general knowledge and logic) and maybe educational quality.
In the country I come from, we have a great public education system (well, great and also high stakes, someone I know committed suicide in High school because they didn't do well). When I came to college here I skipped math up to Calc 2 (we take up to Calc 2 in High School). Also, I grew up upper middle class (class does matter) and went to good schools, got tutoring in primary and high school etc. Unfortunately, when you graduate, there are no jobs so quite a few people I know are spread out all over the world (I'm a software engineer)
I consider myself reasonably intelligent, I took the MENSA entrance exam on a lark and passed. I went to exactly one meeting, and never went back (when people are outright racist at you and can't believe that a black person passed the MENSA exam. That was quite a few years ago and I've had that things have changed).
I've been interested in this question for a long time. I read "The Bell Curve" when it came out (because I knew it was full of crap). While dealing with race is only a small part of the book (the larger part deals with class) one has to understand it's not a scholarly book, it's a policy tract working backwards from a pre-determined conclusion (Head Start and Affirmative Action are bad) that goes looking for justifications.
One notable example.
The book states that the aggregate IQ score for Africans is 75. Just for reference, an IQ of 80 is considered boderline retarded. The book buries its references in the back, and that figure comes from a study done in 1927 in South Africa by the South African government in order to justify the unequal treatment of blacks and as justification of taking their lands (the fore-runner policy to Apartheid). That study was then quoted by noted racist Stephen J Lynn (Google him) and then Murray and Hernstein quote Lynn. The fact that a book quoting Lynn was taken seriously is mind boggling. The book is rife with references to questionable studies, questionable uses of statistics (I only have an Undergrad level of Math, but even I could take apart the 'funny' math) and jumps to conclusions not supported by the evidence. In short, it would have to do better to be classified as even bad science.
The book is a mess, there have been 2 books written in response, both of them good and of course,
"The Bell Curve Debate"
"The Bell Curve Wars"
there is also Stephen J Goulds incomparable "The Mismeasure of Man", that shows how IQ testing has been used to justify social inequity (i.e. the U.S gave tests to Eastern European immigrants and suprise, they scored low, and nativist elements used that to restrict immigration).
So yeah, I respect some of Sullivan's writing, but he is forever tainted in my eyes for his support of "The Bell Curve" (as is William Saletan). On some matters, Sullivan is good, on race and gender, he is absolutely atrocious.
I consider myself reasonably intelligent, I took the MENSA entrance exam on a lark and passed. I went to exactly one meeting, and never went back (when people are outright racist at you and can't believe that a black person passed the MENSA exam. That was quite a few years ago and I've had that things have changed).
Awful...as a person with an IQ of 149, why do you think this universal feeling exists? Why the element of surprise to find a Black person at a Mensa gathering?
The bell curve sucks and Brownback sucks!!

You can shut him down in one strike, Field. Just bring up "Guns Germs and Steel" and your other bits about the Bell Curve and you will win the day.
Obviously, Sen. Brownback (AKA brown-nose) is at the low end of the bell curve. I'm pretty sure the racist trolls on this site will come to his defense, which is hilarious because Sen. brown-nose would happily vote to cut their EBT, Sec 8 and disability checks to give more money to the 1%.

I married a Black American, MENSA member who also happens to have degrees (BS, MS) in Computer Engineering. And among the Black Scientists and Engineers I know, high IQ's are the norm.
Highly intelligent Black folks are more "normal" and common than the media and white racists would have people believe.
Yeah, well, look, man. I'm also a member of American Mensa, and I catch flack in Mensa all the time for saying the IQ is not immutable.
My own scores have gone up (by like 60 points) in my lifetime, and now back down by like 20.
Which is to say, on one level, yes IQ scores are bogus. But it's just as unfair to observe how IQ has been unjustly used, or to visit ONE Mensa meeting at which some douchebags happened to be and declare ALL of Mensa a bunch of racists. I can assure you that's far from being the case.
In fact, recent studies have shown that liberals score higher on IQ tests than conservatives. I think we'd certainly expect to find a higher percentage of racists among conservatives, too. So go figure.
Maybe IQ is kind of like 'the quick draw.' Quick draw gunfights are actually the stuff of fiction. They never really happened in the Old West, and they have little relevance to real life today, and yet still we have quick draw contests and methods for judging proficiency in the activity. There are instructors, an industry of quick draw paraphenalia, and a guy who's the world record holder in quick draw.
You know what I think? I think the error is in drawing conclusions when the whole human race is a work in progress.
People will use WHATEVER THEY CAN to draw dividing lines between people. IQ has proven no different, that's all. It's not reasonable to say it measures nothing or that what it does measure is unimportant. Apparently there is SOMETHING happening in schools that develops a certain set of characteristics in white kids while leaving black kids behind. Learning from that can only benefit everyone. Castigating concept of IQ and dismissing the entire study of what intelligence is and how it works doesn't help further anyone's goals.
All black people don't get low IQ scores. All people with high IQ scores aren't smart in all ways. And all Mensans aren't racists.
Does anyone but me see the pattern there? Like, one of taking limited data and forming opinions about vast groups of people? Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means, but isn't THAT what we're against?
Look, the quick-draw champion likes to think he's a real cowboy. He think he could hang in the old-west. So sometimes people are just wrong.
You guys say this conservative blogger is so great. I've never heard of him. But if he's really great, he'll be able to admit when he's wrong and should be given that chance, as well.
I used to think Mensa was a bunch of douchebags. Then I grew up and realized no entire group of people is anything. We don't get off that easy in making judgments of people. We've got to take a closer look.
At it's heart, that's what IQ testing was originally intended to do. And Mensa was created for the sharing of knowledge, not the sorting out of people.
Both can be and have been abused, and likely will be again. But we don't stop using fire because it's been misused, do we?
So I suggest we don't throw out years of IQ study that's on the brink of getting some more things right.
Personally, when I took the Mensa test I immediately told the proctor I thought the whole thing was unfair - because I shouldn't have to be bilingual to take the test. When they asked what I meant by bilingual, I said 'It has both English and Math on it. Two languages.'
So look, things just have a ways to go, is all. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. And in the case of your blogger friend, don't kill the messenger. He's repeating what he's been taught and is wrong. That simple.
Me, I'm smart than a motherfucker. So I'm glad to be of service. :)

Oh so it's a plot to hold Black People down. The Media and White racists have brainwashed the world into thinking all the Black Mensa candidates they meet, don't really exist. Yes, that sounds like an intelligent thought and must be precisely what is happening. Why do you suppose they do this, no rather how do you suppose they do this?

Such Mensa-ish language. You know you can view all persons in Mensa or those who were ever offered to join Mensa right? But of course someone who is "smart than a motherfucker" would know that.

That puts the work into perspective. Murray's entire prescriptive thesis was "why bother."
The Bell Curve:
Ah, the Nitwit Convention has spoken.
Here's something about The Bell Curve that all its brilliant readers at this site overlooked.
The authors state that blacks score lower on IQ tests whites and asians.
But the authors NEVER claim blacks are less intelligent.
The book examines relationships between IQ SCORES and other aspects of life and life achievement.
Meanwhile, as some of us know, IQ, like physical strength, increases with training.
Your mind undoubtedly has a maximum IQ limit, like muscles and strength. But you won't come close to reaching your IQ potential without performing years of brain exercises.
And you surely won't come close to improving brain function by claiming whites bamboozled blacks out of their knowledge.

Yet another myth.
But to entertain us, you should post whatever information you have that supports this dubious claim.
And please explain how whites "keep it quiet."
Whites know that blacks applying to the top US colleges (Ivy League) get 200 bonus points added to their SAT scores.
The subject is discussed in detail in the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education -- in case you want to look into it.

One obvious fact about Jeopardy contestants is their overwhelming non-blackness.
Is the near absence of blacks on Jeopardy evidence of an anti-black conspiracy?

High school math including Calculus 1? Big deal.
Calculus has been offered in all good US high schools (schools that send a high percentage of grads to college) for almost 100 years.
News flash -- Calculus isn't terribly difficult. But students fear it nonetheless.
It's self-inflating puffery to believe something big has been accomplished by passing a first course in Calculus in high school.
Same holds for passing the next few courses in Calculus that are taught at college. I can't even get worked up over people who pass Differential Equations.
Those courses are good for opening one's mind to higher levels of abstract thought. But all of the subject material of those math courses is old hat. Been around for a few centuries.
We know who's made the most use of it, and we know who hasn't made any use of it.

bullshit.
n sangcoma:
From the Population Bulletin.
Immigration and America's black population
Attendance at Select Universities
A disproportionate share of the black students at U.S. colleges are foreign-born or the children of foreign-born parents.
While 13 percent of blacks are first- or second- generation Americans, this foreign stock accounted for 35 percent of the black students at the most elite U.S. colleges and universities, and 24 percent at the least selective schools included in a recent study of selected U.S. colleges and universities.
The foreigners are more likely than U.S.-born black students to have fathers who completed college, a key predictor for college attendance, and they tend to have slightly higher SAT scores, but they do not necessarily earn better grades than U.S.-born blacks during their college years.

Inasmuch as you love to live in ignorance, it's clear you won't bother to look at the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, which verifies my statement.
The facts about bonus SAT points for blacks is no secret. Virtually all private universities give black applicants at least a few.
The state schools can't do it because the practice discriminates on the basis of race -- a no-no.
That's one reason the black student enrollment at SUNY is low.

Little hat tip Queenie Queefa if you want someone to buy your outrageous claims, try and make them believable. I doubt you can count to one thousand let alone have a thousand Black Friends (any friends actually) let alone that 1,000 of them are all intelligent and successful.

Anon-Goober,
As if you're intelligent and successful.
You're a pathetic loser trying to make sense of his low position in life by harrassing black people who you know in your heart are your betters.
"The facts about bonus SAT points for blacks is no secret. Virtually all private universities give black applicants at least a few."
LINK PLEASE!!!
I will wait......
BTW, have you passed the PE as yet?
"LINK PLEASE!!!"
And Slappy crawls back under floorboards like the racist cockroach that he is.
In every kind of objective measure of intelligence - SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT's, Firefighter exams, school IQ tests - anywhere in the world, whites perform about one standard deviation higher than blacks.
This one standard deviation difference is remarkably consistent and has persisted over several generations of data.
Whites are on average smarter than blacks.
This means nothing when evaluating individuals, as there are plenty of very intelligent blacks and plenty of dumb whites.
It's just that we shouldn't expect equal (representative) numbers of black and white math PhD's. No more than we should expect equal numbers of black and white NBA players.
Accepting the reality of racial differences in educational aptitude would allow us to abolish the Department of Education and end the war on the racial gap in educational achievement. That way we could sensibly start tracking students at a young age and develop programs that mentor the 'gifted students' instead of investing huge sums of money trying to figure out why certain segments of population are disciplinary problems.
go 'skins.
i guess.
It takes nothing more than a casual glance at the American workplace, private and public, to see that it is not and never has been a meritocracy. Legacies, networks and nepotism are the rule, not the exception.
"Whites are on average smarter than blacks."

Just so there's no confusion - all I was saying is IQ can not mean shit, all black people can not be stupid, and all Mensa people can not be racists. All at the same time. How anybody can have a problem with that is over my head, I guess.
