White uneducated men got trump elected, and are bringing down the average life expectancy of America for three years in a row. There is something going very wrong with them, and their pain is hitting the rest of us. I am trying to understand them.
I would consider uneducated to be people with a high school diploma or less. They may have vocational training, but would not have a college education.
There is an ill-defined subgroup which do not have a clear label. The fact that trump voters better correlate with worsen health outcomes than with the greater group of uneducated whites means that there is a subgroup that is both trump voters, and having worsening health outcomes.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
You seem desperate to take offense. Yes, I consider only formally educated people to be formally educated. We cannot figure out how many people "self educated", or even a good definition of that.
Education is not a guarantee of success, or even of ability. There are uneducated people who are CEOs of companies.
So it is true they really are stupid and ignorant, we actually have proof now
De l'audace, encore de l'audace, toujours de l'audace et la Patrie sera sauvée!
Sad reallly

Where do a berate those who are uneducated? I say there is a major problem with white uneducated people dying in larger numbers, and bringing down the life expectancy of the USA, but that is different from berating. That is talking about a health problem that has killed more people than AIDS.
There is no amount of non-education that makes one educated. 35 years of hands-on work experience is training. If I want some carpentry done, I would rather hire someone who is trained than someone who is educated.
Make fun all you like, but stats don't lie. There are racial implications when it comes to IQ. Denial doesn't change reality.
To be fair, IQ is only one facet of intelligence. Accepting that there are aggregate differences between races doesn't mean that one race is superior to another overall. It just means that we're different in certain respects. This goes beyond the mental. There are physical differences as well.
I get why people are reluctant to accept these differences, because they were sometimes used by racists to justify things like segregation or other forms of oppression. Eugenicists were the main culprits of this. However, this does not mean we should deny differences between races.
It's like how we should acknowledge differences between men and women. The fact that we often deny differences between the sexes is why we've been illogical at dealing with trans issues realistically. All this nonsense of allowing biological males to compete against biological females in various athletics wouldn't happen if we just honestly admitted that biological males have major advantages in athletics over women because of testosterone and bone mass.
Most of the "IQ" tests were devised by white men.
Make the tests rate ability to live without the constraints of society...(i.e. street smarts)...and the results would be remarkably skewed in a different direction.
Comes the apocalypse...the smart white people are almost certainly going to be counting on smart non-whites to get them through the troubles.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
