17. It's interesting to see how the English
can use science research to propagate false innuendos to further diminish characters of
ethnic groups, I am surprised they did not include blacks being the less intelligent in
this research. Instead the human brain power is castigated as a form of dexterity in
describing the gap between classes of people.

Case in point;
The researchers, led by Professor Cathy Price, tested 33 healthy adolescents in 2004 when they were between the ages of 12 and 16 years. They then repeated the tests four years later when the same subjects were between 15 and 20 years old. On both occasions, the researchers took structural brain scans of the subjects using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).


12 and 16 years and 15 and 20 years that don't add up, but my point is, it could be that these kids were
focused more on adolescent than being politically astute? The reason that I loathe researches such as this
is that it tends to marginalize one group and project another as superior.

Ever wonder why there is class warfare? It is because of research such as this.
