Yeah I wasn't so much commenting on the black aspect, just brainwashing and IQ in general. If I had to speculate, I think it has more to do with other aspects like humility. It can be unsettling to realize we are all susceptible of being brainwashed and inculcated into a cult. And I came to the conclusion that most of us ARE brainwashed and inculcated into some form of cult in some way. But attributes like humility actually give you the ability to self-reflect, analyze, and revise your belief system. Because one very important element of brainwashing and cult mentality is to accept and defend the approved narrative with fervor, and completely expunge all foreign ideas in whole, in order to ensure the survival of the poisonous ideas. Think about how the left is always focused on shutting down debate, shouting people down, never intellectually and honestly engaging ideas that differ from their own. Because if they did their ideas would crumble to scrutiny. This is Hallmark cult behavior. I think the biggest defense against indoctrination isn't IQ or whatever else, but humility and meekness. Our culture is a breeding ground for pride and arrogance for this exact reason. Because it causes fissures, division, and cracks to form. Western civilization was formed on the basis of spirited debate and philosophical discourse, which allows us to arrive at the best conclusions possible with the information available. This has been pretty much eradicated in the public square.
