The scientific community does not "suppress" results. That's not how the scientific community functions. But it does tend to ignore things that scientists, as a group, consider to be stupid.

"No one is implying that those traits cause differences in intelligence, capability, etc." ...

BULLSHIT.

That linkfest you presented as evidence above is rampant with that "implication".

Take one example:
One entry is titled, "Black children raised in White households have similar IQs to black children in black households." The IMPLICATION is that black children are just plain dumber, independent of environment. If you follow the link to the study on that very item, you'll observe that the study DOES NOT ACTUALLY SAY THAT. And that's clear just from the abstract!!

You want to argue correlation versus causation, with race and behavior? There isn't even correlation. Especially when the definition of the races is fluid among different groups.

Come on. That tar-pit of links is beneath you.

No, the suppression by and large is in that people are shunned for presenting unfavorable suppositions. In turn, those suppositions cannot be explored because people fear they'll be made out to be, in this particular case, racists.

You clearly don't understand what "casual" means then. How much melanin your body produces doesn't affect your intelligence and no one has claimed otherwise. If you think people are claiming that or that list claims that, then you're putting words in people's mouth.

"That tar pit of links is beneath you." This is the exact mentality I'm talking about. Suppositions about the various races are shunned.

You don't like the science you're reading because you have an ideological bias that dictates what you're allowed to say.

There are IQ differences among the races. If you have trouble accepting that, then it's because you've put ideology before science.

Back that truck up. You can't claim "suppression" of science that doesn't exist. I just pointed out how the study referenced by the item does not actually make the claim the item does. There is nothing there to be "suppressed"!

We could go through all the rest on that list together if you like. (I'm assuming of course that you haven't.)

There are IQ differences among individual families that dwarf those between any races you could care to define. (And yes, the number and definition of races is very open to interpretation, because there are nearly infinite qualities to choose as grouping terms.)

Do you understand what that means, though? About differences within a group totally swamping the differences between groups, on the high and low ends? It means that you cannot use an average of the group to make a claim about the individuals within it, with any sort of confidence. That's important.

Let's take an example. Give me a link to your scientific paper(s) that claim there are "IQ differences among the races".
