"...to get an idea what a person is cabable of, you must start by knowing what the hell thy are, racially!!"

This is patently absurd. The melanin in a persons skin, or, for that matter, the epithelium in their eyes, are not the body parts which govern cognition. Only the brain does that.

This means that what and how a person has learned is of primary importance. The learning environment and, by extension, the entire social milieu, not genetics, is the major factor in determining behavior.

While your points are sound, you must also consider that the politics of victimization and resentment are very strong in America. Far too many blacks are taught that whites are their enemy, instead of their fellow citizens.

Enemies of American values are capitalizing on these feelings of resentment and steering susceptible persons into the idea that joining with muslims will somehow strengthen their position versus whites.

preach on, babe!! damn, you are good! NO SACARSM, i am impressed with the above! thank god for google dictionary.

now i do not agree with you. there are certain things black , whites, etc generally do and i don't care where they are brought up.

when it comes to criminal behavior i believe in racial/ ethnic profiling.

does not take a genius to know that no matter where a black person grows up, they still wanna go dancing all the damn time.

or no matter where a white person grows up, they still wanna go camping in some crazy remote place.
