I disregard the black/white variance because whites get better schooling than blacks, which means the test values knowledge, not intelligence
I disregard that because:
a) some people work better at different time, I can't do anything until about 10:00 in the morning (at least not well)
b) people have different skill sets, if I'm really good at math and I take a test that has more reading in it then I'll do worse then if I took a test with more math

Show me proof that schooling has a direct correlation with IQ, followed by proof that Blacks get worse schooling (this will be hard, as you have already discredited all tests and thus can not use them in your argument)
none of those indicate that they are correlating, rather that they are variables. That said, the difference could simply be how many tests they get, and if that stresses them out or not. need a better control

Blacks are suspended more
Suspended students usually don't do the best.

So, suspension (which is imposed upon one for THEIR OWN ACTIONS) = bad schooling? I am missing the link here
also, i was first in my class and almost expelled (suspended many times)

On the other hand, research has indicated that children who do not attend school or who attend intermittently eventually have poorer scores on IQ tests than those who attend regularly
As for why blacks are suspended more, I naturally assumed it was because poorer kids get suspended more, and blacks are on average poorer than whites.
wow, you seem to think that correlation=causation
try again
as for why they are suspended more, it might be because they act out more, are in a stricter envrionment, or anything like that
