Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked To Prejudice


There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.

  4. More Liberal BS. Guess who funds most of these big university studies, that's right big government grants.

    The most solvent states in the U.S. are run by conservatives. (i.e. Texas, Indiana), while the states that are disasters and furthest in debt are ran by liberals (i.e. California, New York).

  5. This opinion piece is kind of funny especially once you remember it was the Democrat party who started the KKK and attempted to block every civil rights legislation through the 60's. The leftists are still racists they just changed their tactics they still have made slaves out of many making them reliant on Government.

  8. I would have no problem voting for a man or woman of color. As long as they were not liberal idiots like the one in the White House now. This man is damngerous to our freedoms and another 4 years of him we will no longer be a free country.

  9. such nonesense. this story won't hold water. bottom line; an earlier study stated that liberals are mentally ill. that's all we need to know as this explains everything.

  10. Stupid is stupid . So I don't care if you are liberal or not. If you were stupid enough to vote for Obama to begin with. You would have to be a moron to give four more years to ruin our country.
