“The DNA of blacks cannot be distinguished from the DNA of Asians or the DNA of whites” -— That is not true.

Sometimes certain demographics exhibit the same traits over and over again especially if they have exhibited the same unique traits for a significant duration of time.. Most often we notice the negative ones because they affect us directly. Traits like viiolence, criminal behavior, gang behavior, etc...and we regard them as a demographic with undesirable traits. Are we being racist.? No we’re being observant.

Oh brother, here comes the lame “race is merely a construct” people.

It’s laughable, at this point, to entertainthis leftist propaganda.

Are you being snarky or being serious here? Race itself is a construct of Satan. Jesus never made ANY distinction in the way someone looked, their features or the how much melanin they have in their skin. If you really believe in the concept of "Race" then you need to pray and search your heart why you feel you need to think that way. Cultures, absolutely different but we ARE all the same under our skin, we share the same anatomy, same brain, same everything. Only morons and imbeciles cling to the concept of race.

. The DNA of blacks cannot be distinguished from the DNA of Asians or the DNA of whites. Unlike our sex, which is stamped in our chromosomes, our racial and ethnic identities are purely subjective.

Wait wait wait wait wait.... hold on... wait... I thought sex (as in gender) was a choice. We have politicians all over the country saying men can go into women bathrooms if the CHOOSE to be women. Bruce Jenner is called "she" because he "chose" to be female. Now this yahoo is saying sex is somehow genetic and not a choice? ppphhhhttttttt

Agreed. Sickle Cell comes to mind right off the bat.

Why do you feel you need to cling to the construct of race? Can you point me anywhere in God's book where he distinguishes race? I'll take his word over your OPINION, an uneducated and racist one. If there is one segment of people which need to be purged from our movement it's redneck imbeciles and closet racists who really do hate people darker or different themselves and use welfare as a canard for their hatred.. Do you believe Jews are a different race? If you do, you have something in common with Himmler. Margaret Sanger was a big believer in racism.

This thread is a moron magnet. Of course there are DNA difference, just like your DNA differs from your spouse and any of your relatives. We all have different DNA. Are you saying black, Asian, Jews, etc are DIFFERENT than you? Don’t be obtuse. do you really think a person with more melanin in their skin is genetically different on a fundamental level, like there are subspecies of people? Charles Murray’s book is the most misquoted and misinterpreted.

I do not “cling to the concept of race”.

I cling to the concept of science, and this article is full of falsehoods.

Smart people can separate science from politics.

In fact etched into all animal DNA is measured sexual diversity. The way nature works to maybe better the species, or not.

Folks with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry get a disease called Tay-Sachs at a far higher rate than non-Ashkenazi ancestry folks.

I guess that’s all just a construct, and people who point that out, like doctors and scientists, are rayciss.

Look no farther then the liberal declaration of, “male and female are outdated concepts” to realize the extent that our nation is deeply ill.

An individual, a family, a nation cannot function, that rejects fundamental realities.

NEWSFLASH! Male/Female is settled science. Gender deniers are worse then flat worlders. Even flat worlders knew if they were boys or girls!

No, you’re being racist. Those elements are cultural and learned.

But perhaps you know better than Jesus??

This is nonsense. Scientists can tell the race of a person just from a sample of blood. Furthermore, their are race specific medicines designed for different races of people.
