During the first years I started posting here I remember **a lot** of old SDMBers (most are banned or inactive now) who would post, non-stop, fringe, racialist crap in any black-ish themed threads (history, politics, culture, language issues on Africa/Americas/etc) as cutting edge points that must be addressed. It was quite crazy to often see points like “The blacks/Africans never did/achieved **this** ” or “Scientists have found **that** about the brains of the races” or whatever, appear in history themed threads on Timbuktu; political threads on southern Africa; economic threads on the developing world; from people who, I assumed, were well informed adults. This hurt me as 1. An MSc student in Neuroscience and 2. A life long student of global history and culture. So, I’ve always dedicated some of my SDMB posting time specifically to anti-racism and rebutting gross racial misconceptions of modern biological/behavioural sciences. Of course this wasn’t a conscious choice, it just sorta happened that way. I like to think I’m civil in my postings but, more often than not, I’m shocked on just how (absurdly) civil I find the SDMB are to many of our resident racialists. Once, I summed it up thusly > [@Shriekers here - MrDibble, Der Trihs](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shriekers-here-mrdibble-der-trihs/674467/131): > > Quite frankly I don’t know how **MrDibble** (an Apartheid raised/suffer, self-described “Coloured” South African), or the rest of our AfAm posters are not constantly posting shrieking vitriol right back at our asinine flagship racialists ( **Chief** , **braz** , **mag01** ), or their JAQing spearholders ( **Wesley Clark** , **Shodan** , **Fotheringay** ). > > I’m just going to assume that these posters are genetically predisposed to hold mountains of self-control as devised by their having non-zero biological input from ancestors who went into allopatric speciation to belong to a haplogroup that clusters a set of alleles in the (as of yet undefined) self-control gene-set which served their ancestors well in the stressful African savanna and was further breeded in by slave owners to enhance these phenotypes. Plus, it is well known that Africans never developed cities, writing, boats, technology, and such, due to their general easy-going nature. This in addition to the fact that they were always dominated, on the losing side to their betters, incapable to farm, etc which proves that this genetic evidence towards temperament is clearly cut along lines of race (while accepting that races might not exist). Today, the OP just might have helped answer this question of mine. If you, as a black poster, feel less relevant than a white poster (of similar mind set) you probably won’t be posting as often or if you feel more reviled you wouldn’t be posting as confrontationally. Does this sound remotely correct? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bias-towards-white-antiracists/688285)._
