Sorry... But this is not scientifically true.
The scientific fact is: Sub Saharan Africans are the only race which does not have Neanderthal DNA.
That is a fact.
I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it does make them different and could by itself explain many things.
Race is not a ‘social construct’. A number of bird species have different identifiable ‘races’, and they are actually called ‘races’. Domesticated animals have a variety of same-species ‘breeds’ with different appearances and behaviors. The idea that humans who tend to endogamy don’t differentiate in physical and mental characteristics is scientifically absurd. There’s Orwellian language control being attempted here.
Is it racist now to say that a tom cat is different from a panther?
The Left would never buy this argument.
There are scientific findings that would dispute this article.
I don’t usually like to recommend a click-bait site, but this survey question was worth it for me.
“IS BLACK LIVES MATTER A RACIST ORGANIZATION?”
So far with 20,274 respondents, it’s:
96% Yes of course
03% No, of course not
01% It’s complicated
If you want...

Before you start a debate you must define your terms. Obviously not done. Don’t confuse the genetic reality (true) with the government classification of people by an ethnic tag. (false).
Not the same thing.
If you don't want to call the convergence of these distinctions within certain gene pools race, fine - come up with another word. But denying them doesn't make them go away and opens the door to extremists to exploit them due to the lack of a reasoned response.
To say "there's no such thing as race" will make people think "do I believe you or my lying eyes?" Race is an often uncomfortable reality, but if the facts are acknowledged we will be better enabled to deal with it in an rational and equitable manner.
Yet, even at its core the idea of racial division, of race itself, is a myth. To sub-divide humanity based upon nothing more than varying levels of skin pigmentation is to rely upon the weakest of genetic markers.
The Myth Called ‘Race’ - This is the true myth, to pretend that race is a myth.
Much more to it than that.
If race is a “social construct” how come a forensic dentist can tell identify the race of a person by looking at a single tooth? How come a forensic anthropologist can identify the race of the person by examination of a skeleton? If race is a “social construct” how come organ tansplantation are by far more successful if done within the same race and even within the same ethnic group?
This article is pure Critical Race Theory 101, nothing more.
Platitudes don’t solve shit
But you enjoy yourself
This is like a cattle car thread
I’ll counter the full culture war on whites and western civilization waged by non whites and progressives by claiming there is no such thing as race or to be precise race defined distinctions despite observing precisely that all around me
That is the path of the human dodo bird
Soon to be extinct
I find it interesting to hear an increasing number of attacks on the idea of "colorblindness" from people who call themselves progressives.
