Racial Intelligence=> Summary and response

In the article, ’’Intelligence: Is there a racial difference?’ the author argues the statement that American white’s intelligence is inferior to American blacks by nature is not absolutely. First, the author states that people’s intellectual genes were determined from our parents, but if a genius grows up without suitable simulation, his endowment will not fulfill. Second, the author summarized another article, which written by R. Jensen. This author argues that American blacks’ intelligence is inherently inferior to American whites, and he mentions that hospitable environment is not one of reason that one can become a genius. However, this is an inflammatory topic and there have more 12000 subscribers to complain this statement. Moreover, they think it is unjust that people treat American blacks in a different way depend on their racial a social background. In author’s opinion, he emphasize that hospitable environment is more important than inherent intelligence that influence human behavior. I agree with author that hospitable environment and suitable simulation can really influence one’s intelligence. Moreover, it is not be allowed that we treat American blacks in a different way because the hypotheses that their inherent intelligences are inferior to American whites or because their individual’s racial and social background.
Firstly, I think a hospitable environment is the most important reason that one can make success. Because even though a genius have a good gene of intelligence, if he grows up without a good environment or suitable simulation, I do not think his inherent ability which is very bright will very obviously. On the other hand, if a person who is not a genius, but he has a hospitable environment or he really works hard, and compare to a genius who grow up with a humdrum environment, I think former has more chances to make success.
Moreover, according to R. Jensen’s article that American white’s inherent intelligence is superior to American blacks, some people complain this point, but others people really treat American blacks in different way sometimes. But in my position, I think people can treat them in a different way. Because it is personal reason more important than racial reason that decide whether I can make friend with them or not. Similarly, the government or many companies can not decide if a person can work depend on the racial reason or social background.
Conclusion, I think hospitable environment is an important reason that one can make success and I do not think that a person without a suitable simulation even he is a genius that he can more smart than the person who’s not a genius. Moreover, we can not treat American blacks on a different way because their racial reason or their social background. Therefore, I think if we give more chances to employ American blacks, everyone can have more opportunities to see that American blacks have ability to overcome problems or to do their best. Hence many people will have no stereotype that American blacks have worse intelligence than American whites.
