Strange Republican response

And each culture requires adherence and cooperation. Primitive as some of those ritualistic behaviors may seem, they are still based on the same principles of survival mechanisms.

In short, all extant humans are more or less blessed with regional natural resources and developed their civilization strategies around what seems to have been a promising future or had been stable for a long time.

A good exemple : Louis Armstrong

A black boy, living with a Jewish family, learning music from them.

Was he a great musician because he was black, because he was raised with a Jewish family ?

What would have become of him, if he had been raised in a soldier family , or a family who prohibited music ?

Or because he had the chops,
and was obsessive about practicing?
:thinking:

Musical talent is natural but whether someone with talent becomes famous depends on many factors. That is a bit different from "ethnic characteristics ", even though it does tie in with the idea that Blacks are musically talented by nature.

Where did I do that? “Brown people” are a really big group with many differences among them. They are all quite different from Whites, however.

I’m not going to go back and find references

Who me?

He asks innocently.

You actually got one thing right concerning ethnicity. People of colour do outnumber white people and yes, there are some differences, but white people are not more intelligent than they are.

Skin color is a stupid way to classify people.

Many are mixed having ancestors of different origins.

In old days of Jim Crow laws, a man was black even with a very weak % of black ancestors.

Mriana, you say that colored people are a majority, and you are right if you account every people with a drop of no white blood.

But you should be careful as racists use the same point explain that the white are being replaced in the USA by no whites.

The State of New York in the 2020 Census had a population of 20,201,249 and the racial makeup was 52.5% Non-Hispanic White , 19.5% Hispanic or Latino, 14.8% Black, 9.6% Asian, 0.7% Native American, and 0.1% Pacific Islander. According to 2004 estimates, 20.4% of the population was foreign-born.

Add some mixed couple, and in 20 years, the Non-Hispanic white computed using the same method will be a minority. If you consider that people of mixed origins are white, this computing is non-sense.

May be my point of view is influenced by the fact that i am French. In France, it is unlawful to mention color of skin in census or in any official document.

That’s unimaginable to me, even though people who act prejudice say we should do that. It’s the difference between “color blind” and “color aware”. Although it seems like a good idea to not allow tracking of it, in this country, I think it would give a way for discrimination to be hidden. Thomas Sowell calls this “outcome based” equality, and says it’s not “opportunity based”. I don’t like him.

And it seems the less intelligent the more superiority they project.

Probably because they are too stupid to be humble. Who knows.

“Only the one who knows he does not know is knowledgeable, unlike the one who has the illusion of knowing and who is even ignorant of his own ignorance.” Attributed to Socrates, in fact a summary of a passage from Socrates’ Apology, by Plato. We find the same idea in Lao-Tseu

If we check the list of speakers and guests to the RNC, we can only come to the conclusion that the Republicans are holding a “conference of criminals”.

Half the speakers have been convicted of felony crimes. And somehow they are welcomed by the Republican members. Most bizarre!

Has it occurred to anyone that Trump, as a convicted felon, cannot vote.

Has it occurred to anyone that biden cannot function?

Since when?.. :scream:

You cant hold me to a date but we are there now

Race is a lot more than just skin color.

Not so with White Americans. The one drop rule actually worked very well.

See here.

They are in the middle of a virtual war, and going to prison makes them war heroes, next they are going to be expecting blood, if you listen to 'em.

And you are a fan of these guys stateless?
