Are you seriously saying that some people are inferior based on their genetic makeup?

Genetics are not the defining factor. The defining factor is what one makes of the talents and the life God has given them. I do not see how race or culture can have an effect on that.

No, I'm saying people's genetic makeup is one of many factors that determines people's intelligence, creativity, and talent. Where did this talk of superiority come from?

Genetics are not the defining factor. The defining factor is what one makes of the talents and the life God has given them.

You are in as much denial as the people who denied that the Earth orbits the sun. Genetics, which in part determine what talents you have, are one factor among others. Of course what you do with your talents is important, but you can't do much with talents you don't have.

I do not see how race or culture can have an effect on that.

It is a scientific fact that there are genetic differences between population groups that results in the different groups having different talents.

Now obviously, talents are not everything, but they are important. Without talent, you can't be a worldclass athlete. Without talent, you can't be a virtuoso pianist. Without talent, you can't be a brilliant mathematician or scientist.

Of course, just having talent is not enough. You have to work to develop it. But just the same, talent it is necessary.

But we're getting off topic. Please point out to me exactly where Mr. Francis' statement is wrong.

Aparently, David Horowitz and Frontpagemag.com "tolerate" those evil "racists" at American Renaisance. Are you going to call Horowitz a bigot too? Are you going to tell Jim Robinson to ban articles from Frontpage?

FYI, I don't agree with the American Renaisance that whites should start engaging in ethnic identity politics like blacks and latinos do. Like Horowitz, I believe we can fight and defeat multiculturalism. However, I do find that AR people have interesting things to say, and I do not see why the fact that I disagree with them should stop me from linking to a site that links to them. Or from linking to a site that occasionally runs articles by one of their authors.

You caught people saying that somehow people are inferior based on genetics. Saying that I suppose gives some stupid white people some self esteem.
