Why is the current Russian murder rate astronomically high? (As high, or higher than the black American murder rate?)
Why is the murder rate in Barbados lower than some European countries?
Why has the black American murder rate varied over the course of the last century, being lower than the white American murder rate in the 1930’s?
Demonstrate, with relevant citations, that black Americans are a single “race” as opposed to an admixed population with rates of African, European, and Native American ancestry which vary from individual to individual. I’ll wait.
Why bother promoting racialist pseudoscience when it’s been repeatedly debunked?
This is actually true. Because liberals, by definition, recognize that the color of one’s skin says nothing about them, nor does their sexual orientation, so why would they give any credence to “correlation is causation” noise?
Liberals recognize that the only way to legitimately label people at all (in terms of their character and personality, which is the way you would be “suggesting bad things”) is by each individual’s own behavior: choices, words, beliefs and deeds.
You know, the way we can and do label people “conservatives”.
Then, once you have identified a group of people who behave/believe/speak in similar ways and label them, you can perhaps look around to see if there is something about them that they were born with that they share that might explain the fact that these people all believe/think/speak/act in such similar ways.
And since our thoughts, actions, beliefs, and words are all dictated by our brains, not the color of our skin or the kink of our hair, looking at the brain to see if the brains of similar people share notably similar-to-each-other-and-different-from-everyone-else characteristics makes sense. (It also makes sense to look at their life experiences…)
Our sexual orientation is also a product of our brain and perhaps some chemical differences, so it certainly does seem reasonable to wonder if the same chemical/brain differences that lead to homosexuality lead to other things as well. But the facts and statistics, studies and experience have all conclusively shown that if the chemical/brain structure differences that lead to homosexuality lead to anything else as well, that “something else” is NOT pedophilia.
A fantastic wit or innate sense of style? Well, that’s certainly possible…
Factually incorrect. Different subspecies don’t regularly interbreed. Pretty much every Black person in the US has some European ancestry. Different breeds of domestic animals are (generally) prevented from mating with each other in order to maintain the purity of the breed. No such effort is made in the case of humans.
We’ve been over this dozens of times, but let me repeat: Human variation is clinal in nature. Subspecies are defined by distinct, genetically isolated populations.
Sure. But the crime wasn’t murder, it was abortion of a fetus, which was unlawful. Even now the laws against killing an unborn human are not defined as murder, but as various specialized “killing a fetus unlawfully” laws.
Because they assume that the people paying attention to them aren’t particularly bright or well-informed and therefore believe that “global warming = worldwide summertime all year long”. Whether they are right or not, I decline to speculate.
Well, yes, that’s why they do that, but why do they do it, why do they scream “fraud”, if not to marginalize climatologists and their findings? Isn’t that an attempt at suppressing the facts? What does New Deal Democrat think the purpose of all that is?
I dont’ reject a biological explanation; issues in the black community can definitely be traced to biology. As a result of the biological fact of being black, black people’s experience in the United States of America is much more likely to be very negative in many respects, owing to the fact that many non-black people make false and negative assumptions about them because of their blackness. These experiences frequently lead or contribute to negative consequences of many kinds.
But black people raised in a healthy, normal, non-racist environment by people who have also been raised in healthy, normal, non-racist environment do not show any greater propensity to be stupid or criminal than white or Asian people do.
I’m sorry but that is one of the dumbest things I’ve read on this forum and anyone who honestly believes that claptrap has no business making judgements on the merits of* The Bell Curve.*
I am not sure how you could substantiate that comment. Blacks have a murder rate that is over seven times the white rate. Even when they live in upper middle class neighborhoods, and attend good schools they tend to do less well than whites. Whites respond negatively to blacks we do not know because we accurately associate they with crime and low intelligence.
You might associate they (sic) with crime and low intelligence, but don’t propose to speak for this white guy. I’ve lived in Oakland pretty much all my life, and I can honestly say the only people I associate with crime are criminals and the ones I associate with low intelligence are stupid people. They’re pretty easy to spot. Even on message boards.
Because liberals choose to ignore the relationship between a high black population and a high crime rate, it cannot be said that they respect facts more than conservatives. Liberals and conservatives tend to ignore, or even be ignorant of, facts that conflict with their policy goals.
