PapaBear3625 didn’t say we aren’t “one blood”. he didn’t say we are different species.
but, there are genetic differences. even between black populations. sprinters from west africa, marathoners from east. causasian achilles tendons are different.
and the “Bell Curve” is ignored, but not refuted.
(just as Asians have HIGHER average I.Q. than caucasians.)

PC shouldn’t be allowed to trump science.

“(”there is no significant genetic difference and therefore all performance differences must be due to racism, which must be remedied”) isn’t turning out so well either. “
/// is correct. and spending billions to erase an “achievement gap” between caucasians and blacks, while ignoring the achievement gap between asians and whites, is simply wasting money on a false premise.

I don’t mean to imply in the least that poor achievement in African descendants is attributable to “racism”.

However, there are many of African ancestry who have higher abilities than you or I, particularly athletic and musical abilities.

It’s time to celebrate our differences, not try to eradicate them, while recognizing our common humanity.

Hey, if I remember correctly, “valuing differences” was a Liberal idea. Whatever happened to that?
