"White People"

[Anonymouse]

a nice claim that does not bear itself out when you actually read the nastyness & trash that these people are touting..

Talk about selective reading. In any event you are a liberal lefty egalitarian, you are "tolerant" but lefty liberal egalitarians are only tolerant with those whom they agree with. It doesn't take a genius to see how frustrated and hateful you get toward myself for my views. It appears if you were in government you would actually coerce people into "egalitarian bliss".

You think that because we eat lavash instead of English muffins we are more Middle Eastern than European? This is silly, Im sorry. Europeans are not this one little group that one can define by Aryan features or croissonts. This is why geographers have "Nordic Europe", "Mediterranian Europe", etc.

Its not silly - its really quite a fundemental thing...

I dont think that he or anyone else here was saying that race is based strictly on the color of a persons skin. Some Armenians are pale and shine in the sun while others look as brown as a lunch bag. Whats your point?

How can you say that there is no genetic component? There are groups of people who can be linked by certain genes. For example, there is a Jewish tribe that lives in Africa and was not considered Semitic traditionally until a recent discovery of a certain gene in these people which only the Jews have.

There are significant racial differences. Take a look at law enforcement and DNA testing, which has led to convictions and acquittals.

Just curious dear, what did I say in your world? lol

I was talking to winoman, and when I said "he" I meant you. I do not see how this post is a response to mine unless you misunderstood something.

Calm down "dear" I was only corroborating what you said. Last time I checked it is a forum, and as such we can respond to each other in a discussion. Don't whine about it.

Winston must be posting a long diatribe. He has been viewing this thread for 10 minutes.

Dont call me dear if you need to put it in quotes. lol Im perfectly calm, just amused. I said nothing against the act of responding, but only that I didnt understand HOW your comment responded to mine.

Okay "dear" .

Race does have a genetic component.

When you can lay out all the genetic identifiers of the "white" race - you please let me know - OK

When I said social construct I mean the names given. You are again misconstruing what I have said. And again culture is a product of the racial group. Not the other way around. If different races were not there to create different cultures how else did these cultures come to be?

already answered - environment and circumstance....your connection of the term "race" with cultural development is spurious - no one outside of your stormfront buds makes this type of connection

Furthermore, why do lefty liberal egalitarians like to assume that because one recognizes racial distinctions and chooses not to mix that one is a fascist in support of slavery. Again another logical fallacy.

Don't know...but maybe - to some degree because of curious and telling statements such as this:

The caste system in India is only evidence of racial dilution, and that at one time the Aryans invaded India and gave it the culture they bear.

I am not a geneticist therefore I cannot speak genetics, however, the extensions of genetics speak to us in bloodtypes, in physical and cranial morphology, physiology, susceptibility to diseases. These are the external manifestations of genes. It is akin to a computer program. While we observe the computer program and it's functions we are not programmers thereofore not familiar with the programming language such as C++

This is not about stormfront Mr Winston. This idea has existed before it was politically incorrect in academia to do so. That explains why society was desegregated at one point. Furthermore, you are suggesting that culture is separate from people. In otherwords, culture exists in a separate state untouched and somehow there, and it's just the people that come to fill it in. You will find not one anthropologist that will even claim that. What is politically correct is usually that the differing environments contributed to different cultures. But even that is weak, for why did the cultures differ is the key. And it is not environment, but the people that created that culture. The cold north argument of why European culture is so doesn't hold, for why did the Mongolian races develop a culture unique to themselves, why did they develop their own racial features that are different from whites?

What is telling about this statement?
