Cowboy, You seem like a nice fellow, but the fact is that race correlates strongly with many other characteristics. And while we can argue about the causes of this, two things should be accepted. One is that it’s unlikely that these differences are entirely a result of nurture. The other is that it doesn’t matter as much as you may think. The voting patterns show ZERO sign of changing. Also remember what history shows: minorities generally don’t fare very well at the hands of a majority. Especially when that majority has been taught to hate them. Do you really want to bank on the beneficence of the new majority? What do you think America will look like governmentally and socially when it looks like Mexico demographically.

I see you’re in Idaho. Maybe you need to live in southern CA for a while to place things in perspective.

I will admit that I've lived in Southern California; however we have a good number of farm workers and such here that are Hispanic. There are plenty of small farming communities that during the summer, have white as a minority. I mean no disrespect, but great horrors in history have been committed due to perceived racial differences. I do not doubt the Egyptians in Moses time, the Democrats in south in 1850's, and the German people of the 1930's; would have bid me come and see to understand why their actions are justified. If you have not read The March Morons by Kornbluth, the answer was genocide against the idiots.

I ask then, what you see as a solution to this "problem," I can think actually change the birthrate which appears to be your beef that are in line with the principal of this country. If you say take away the welfare from illegals aliens and quit paying for their extra children. Then we are on the same side.

I accept the voting pattern aren't changing, why do you expect people to turn down a handout. The problem is the government is offering them a "free" lunch, at our expense. I would not expect that to change until we quit offering it. The same offer that is being extending to all of us by the socialists in power or running for office. It is the road Greece has taken with France following behind. The problem is, as Alexis De Tocqueville chronicled would be our downfall, the people are voting themselves the largess of the public coffers. It is the love of money (see 1 Timothy 6:10), not some sort of devoltuionary dumbing of the masses.

As for your statement that there is indeed some underlying difference in the races in forms of intelligence and what not. I have to ask if you are really serious? I see no reason to accept the idea that any race holds a superiority in intelligence. Maybe in the ability to perform the tests (usually designed by whites)we give them. You have to consider what sort of education system they are in. The Asians for instance are stereotypically considered better at Math etc. Look at the emphasis their culture puts on it. The Declaration of Independence begins "All men are created equal..." -enough said.

Cowboy,

Hate to break this to you, but the Declaration of Independence doesn’t determine reality. And by the way, the founders generally did not believe in the exact worldly equality of all races.

Also realize that world IQ charts do show a fairly profound difference among groups’ intelligence. Oh, this is all cultural bias? You may want to ask yourself why Asians score higher than whites, if it’s just because IQ tests were designed by whites, for whites.

It’s pretty clear that most differences among people are due to both nature and nurture. Only ideology can blind a person to this obvious truth.
