black race is inferior?

[AlgyTaylor]

Wow. 8 votes say yes, black people ARE inferior!

I am genuinely surprised.

What, that some people are racist f*cks?


Mind you, it's an awfully high proportion of the votes.

[The1exile]

Well, it might not be "inferior", just "less intelligent". Did he actually say they were worth less because he believes they're less intelligent, or is that assumption?

Suprised? On this forum?

HE claims it so it must be true ? ... only time will tell in the end.
i really respected him until this claim, even if it is true he should have better thought of consequences what this theory could bring...

i say it doesn't matter in the end. we're all human...

lol, i came in to yell at you when i saw the title, i was pissed

He said

“there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so”

Which seems a vaguely valid point if he had produced studies to back it up (and generally the studies are at odds - some agree, some don't, I think).

The problem comes with this bit:

The 79-year-old geneticist said he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really." He said he hoped that everyone was equal, but countered that “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”.

Nah, I've a load of blacks, gays and other 'deviants' locked up in my cellar and I force them to vote on forums to forward the cause.

What are they doing locked up in your cellar?

At least put them to back-breaking labour.....they like slavery, I hear...it's kinda like a holiday camp for them.

Well obviously they're doing forced labour from 3am til 11pm every day. No point in locking them up if you're not going to force them to work ... they're currently in the middle of an experiment, though. I feed them on a diet of asbestos and see which ones die quicker - blacks or gays.

The above two posts explain the votes for inferiority

[Simonov]

I really don't understand how 'white' people can say that 'black' people are inferior, since white people are just a mutation of the standard black genetic gene. Technically, the white people should be inferior for being a mutant. (this is of course saying that only if one race has to be inferior, which i don't personally believe)

wrong. mutation is genetically a good thing. if this mutation was bad then it's carriers wouldn't survive and spread so widely...

secondly i believe white and black had common distant ancestor but they are from 2 totally different gene pools. even if whites are more intelligent this difference is minuscule and blacks are superior in physiological attributes compared to white race.

i say that differences are good. but there should be no discrimination incorporated in society based on this difference. we have in common that what makes us human and it's all that matters.

finally i think that these difference are getting smaller every day because of now widely present mixture of races... so in couple of centuries we won't have this problems anymore.

[vtmarik]

I love how we refer to other phenotypes in the same species as a different race.

We're all homo sapiens sapiens, there is no other race on this planet. Sure, we may have different skin color, but that's where the differences end.

What's next, all people with red hair become another race? What about those with blue eyes? Or maybe people who are taller than the national average?

Yumm.....asbestos...will make a nice change from bush-meat

wrong. unless im dearly mistaken(and if i am, sorry about this) a mutation=bad; a permutation=good

Err... nope... I'm fairly sure there are some reasonable genetic differences... African genetic vulnerability to sickle cell anemia is a good example, if I recall rightly. We DO have different genes. No-one is debating that.

wrong again, i am extra terrestrial

There's a funny sign that someone put on a wall in Zagreb:
"I hate jews, niggers, gays and racists!"

[Norse]

So now with the anti-gay remarks now....you lot are really precious, huh?

First you talk about Black people being unskilled runners, and now you're calling us all "homo" sapiens.

You guys sicken me.

[lord twiggy1]

where very sickening people, what do you expect?

[Simonov]

What's next, all people with red hair become another race? What about those with blue eyes? Or maybe people who are taller than the national average?

the differences between black, whites and yellows extend to more then just a skin color. so i must say i don't see a point in this.

but it's true we are all the same species since we can reproduce among each other. these difference are what makes the beauty of our species but we're not the same race. "varietas delectat" as one latin proverb goes!

again i must emphasize - no social difference should be made based on racial differences.

wrong. but i guess you haven't studied genetics. there are bad and good mutations but all of them are necessery for evolution. one trait can be consider good in one and bad in other external conditions.

i think permutation is mathematical term...

sorry my teeth hurt. it's a self-irony of a sort.
