You say it quite well.

I cannot say it better than Ohioan in 316 and 317. I will hold to my view that there are distinctions biologically between races and racial sub groups. It is simply a truth to me. Whatever one wishes to extrapolate politically from that is beyond what I'm acknowledging. I believe the current politically correct view on anthropology is much more heavily politicized and indulges in a lot of wishful thinking. I would also hold evolution in the same light.

He did say it well didn't he? And he really put into perspective the length which our socialist controllers will go to perpetuate the deception. i.e. they even go so far as to omit the clearly superior negro characteristics in their persuit of "perceived" equality.

I hold evo-theory in the harshest light, as anyone seeking the truth should. And as far as I can tell it stands up pretty well. Whether evolution results from environmental/cultural/geographical or natural/super-natural causes the evidence certainly bears out that evolution happens and happens rather quickly. Especially condiering we may have all spawned from one woman 150 thousand years ago D-Channel Link.

Garbage.

Hey, by the way, there's this story today about a police dog that allegedly is "racist." The allegation is made by a black councilwoman, and follows an incident when the dog bit a young black child. Since dogs are not capable of following human politics, the charge implies that there is some sort of biological basis for race. (The dog should be retired, by the way--and not because it's "racist"--any police dog that bites an innocent child needs to find another job.)

I just want to know what "color" the bigoted dog is???....lol

[maro]

Your error is confusing race with pigment. People of different racial groups--as the term has been understood for centuries--are similarly pigmented. People of different pigments share other traits in common. None of this supports the article's thesis.

Whether you call the different subsets of man "races," "classes," "genomes" or anything you like, each recognizable type' of Mankind has a complex of traits--and admittedly the incidence of those traits within any group varies, and overlaps the incidence of those same traits in other groups.

Nothing in that statement means that we can not clearly distinguish between the Bushman of the Kalahari & anyone of another race. (And if lost in a desert, you would be well to hope that the Bushman comes along to help you. That is not intended as an insult to any other group; just an acknowledgement that the Bushman has developed exceptional survival skills in that environment.)

It is no compliment to mankind, that people keep arguing against efforts to classify the variations. With every other variable subject of human interest, we seek to achieve ever more refined classifications; that the opposite has become true as to Mankind is not evidence that we do not have variations, rather of the mischief done by compulsion driven egalitarians. (See Footnote On Egalitarian Compulsion.)

Why does this matter? For just about any concern any society has!

Pretending that people are interchangeable enables demagogues to turn one group against another, over issues of faux grievances. It distracts individuals from actually developing the talents they have, to jealously embracing the politics of envy & resentment. In others, it enables the demagogues to inculcate a sense of guilt.

Of course, it also is grist for the mill of those who would impose a World Order (an internationalist tyranny) over all Mankind, denying the nations of the earth the cultural heritages that have reflected the best of each people's centuries of struggle & social development.

For the involvement of those seeking World Government in this war on the recognition of human variation, see Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education.

Note my post #330 in this thread. Somehow this thread popped up, when I logged in today, and without noticing the date, I assumed it was a new thread. It was only after posting, that I saw that I had already posted in the thread back in 2002, and that you had commended my posts, at that time.

Not sure whether I should feel stupid, apologize, or act to bump my latest offering, by posting it to you in this manner.

Hope that all is going well.
