n you're misinterpreting. I'm trying to be helpful. Goes like this. According to Tyrone there are at least four or five health related factors that can affect your cognitive ability of a baby and therefore the cognitive ability of that baby when it grows up. Some of those things include weight. If a mother is obese when delivering a child the child has lower cognitive function. Did you know that?…
← Previous segment →e that I'm cowardly not mentioning the cause of all problems which he believes are the Jews. We're going to be hiding you on this channel for more serious people. All right sorry you're gone.
But here's the point that Tyrone makes. Every one of these is treatable. Don't have enough vitamin D? Add some vitamin D. Don't have enough ratio of this to that? Improve your ratio. Blood pressure yes. Weight yes. Inflammation yes. So there are a bunch of factors that can all be treated.
And here's the kicker. All of the things I mentioned are at far higher rates in black Americans. Far higher rates. Obesity for example. Listen to this one. This just blew my mind. Do you know that 80 percent of black women are obese but it's two-thirds of white women are obese too? Two-thirds of white women and 80 percent of black women are obese. Huh. I wonder why the birth rate is going down. Like sometimes the answers are so obvious. All right let's not get into that though.
All right so Tyrone's point which I think is brilliant and brave is that there are identifiable completely treatable medical conditions that might completely change the IQ differential between black Americans and everybody else. Now my biggest issue is that correlation and causation are not demonstrated right? But you could test it.
Justin Dunn needs to go away because he also wonders why I'm not blaming the Jews for everything. Maybe because I'm not a crazy conspiracy theorist. Maybe.
All right so what do you think of Tyrone's approach? You can see how toxic it is right? Because as soon as you talk about IQ difference even though IQ difference is the primary indicator of success, if it's true that black Americans for a variety of reasons are giving birth in a sub-optimal way health care wise it's a sub-optimal way, why don't we take that seriously? At least test it. You know you could take a county or a state and say you know I don't know if this is a racist theory or if it's just good thinking so let's just take a population of people, correct everything, see how their kids do by third grade. By third grade you'd know if it worked wouldn't you?
So here's what I say. If you can test it small and the potential

benefit would be extreme and the cost to do it looks like it'd be doable because most of these things are education plus you know some supplements basically. So I think that's worth doing. I think that's worth trying. Third grade is the inflection point. I think you'd know by third grade if it worked. What about the slippery slope? This slippery slope just so I clarify. Claire I'm gonna make you…
