And, equally clearly, it’s poised to catch it’s limit. What does “trolling thread” even mean anymore though? ISTM that it means (at least to you), nothing more than a thread someone opens that is going to get intemperate replies because the topic makes people angry. Why is it so important to you to point this out? > [@Ariovistus](#): > > I have observed blacks in America, blacks in Europe and blacks in Namibia, and they all have the same traits: overemotionalism, highly defined sense of tribalism, lack of forward planning, instant gratification, tendancy towards violence, impulsiveness, etc. These are all just standard behaviours of the poor and ill educated, observed in all peoples, including white people. Indeed, your description could perfectly well serve as a description of that demographic popularly described as “white trash”. You simply suffer from the usual human perception bias that causes you to have a lower level of empathy and discernment concerning people you see as “other” compared to people you see as part of your own group. ---

A couple of caveats here: > > a) Why is it that whenever a study is produced that illustrates say, the average IQ of the different peoples of the world, it is automatically hooted down as “racist” just because it clashes with a trendy worldview? (By the way, the term “racist”, which was coined by Lenin, is meant in the same manner that “witch” was used in the 17th Century- it is designed to styfle clear thinking, honest speech and blunt debate. That being said, it has no effect on me whatsoever.) > > b) I do honestly believe that mankind did not magically ‘originate’ from Africa based on the discovery of one set of bones in a desert (or wherever they were found) in Africa. The same way that civilizations arose around the world on their own, I believe that the different races of man developed on their own based on their specific environments. That being said, the different races of man are tailored to excel in their own specific environments, which by definition, force physical, mental, emotional and physiological changes within each race. This, by definition, means that each race will have traits that the others do not, that are unique to that particular race. Why is recognizing these differences racist? > > c) “Black blood” has nothing to do with my feelings. Nor does their color. It is their behavior that I find distasteful. I think that their behavior, while it can be affected by environment to a certain extent, I believe that their behavior is typical for them as a race in general. I have observed blacks in America, blacks in Europe and blacks in Namibia, and they all have the same traits: overemotionalism, highly defined sense of tribalism, lack of forward planning, instant gratification, tendancy towards violence, impulsiveness, etc. Humans are animals, same as any other animal, and their behavior, depending on type, can be predicted. I don’t need anyone to tell me that a circus lion isn’t the same as a house cat. > > 1. Do you think anything should be done about this on a societal level? Would you have Jim Crow laws again if you had a choice? Would you have segregation again if you could? > > What would I do on a societal level? Big question. > > Any answer I would give on this question would sound flip and would be largely unworkable. I had to go out on the porch and smoke (yeah, yeah, I know… bad habit) and think about this for awhile… this is what I came up with (follow me on this one): > > The issue of slave reparations has come up time and again. Now, I am opposed to this from the word ‘GO’. However, let’s just say for the sake of argument that the US Government agrees to pay slave reparations to black folks… IF (and that’s a huge IF) this happens, I propose that any black person who wants to receive their reparations payment MUST choose a destination outside the US to go live. In other words, renounce your American citizenship, turn in your passport, hop a jet and go live somewhere else. > > Question: If YOU personally were living in a society where you thought you were never, ever going to get a fair shake, no matter what happened, would YOU want to continue to live in that society? I wouldn’t. The way I see it, if they dislike the US so much, what’s keeping them here? A reparations payment to them, in one lump sum, would set them up for life in a multitude of countries around the world. > 4) Let’s say you are only surgeon available in the ER and two patients showed up at the same time. One is a white high school dropout with a history of drug abuse and a lengthy criminal record plus his is a deadbeat dad with kids that aren’t doing any better. The other is a black person who is saintly by any measure and a positive force in the community. You only have time to save one of them. Who do you choose and why? > > Ahh, the ‘Build a box you can’t get out of’ argument… > > Hang on. I’ll answer. > > Look, I never said I “hated” anyone, or any one people. I said I ‘disliked’ black people. If I were a surgeon, I would have to triage both patients… since you never said what was wrong with either of them, I would have to take the one that was worse off and fix them first, no matter who they are. That I dislike them as a people means nothing. If I were a surgeon, and it was my job to save lives, then I would fix who was worse off, first. Period. This does not invalidate my position, nor does it magically make my feelings go away. I served side by side with people (of all different colors and backgrounds) who I friggin’ HATED to the depths of my being (not because of them being black, but because they were idiots who would get people killed, or shirkers, or whatever), but it was my JOB to lead them as best I could, through whatever the battlefield threw at us, and make it out alive while still completing the mission. It was my JOB. The fact that they were dangerous idiots or that I hated their guts didn’t matter… only the Mission mattered. You can take some of the things you say and make them scientifically valid as to the best research we have today. Also, extreme beliefs tend to wrap back in a big circle on one another so that viewpoints like yours aren’t nearly as different from those of the opposite side as some would have you believe. Sometimes the difference between bigotry and enlightenment is just one of presentation. Not many people believe in separatism anymore because of huge advances in transportation and technology. I could be telling you this from Zimbabwe for all you know. However, we are rapidly moving to a one world culture and we will lose all the things that made human populations distinct. There is no way around that but National Geographic magazines don’t have the same impact as they had in 1900 and it will become even less time goes by. That is a losing battle though and it isn’t healthy to wish for what developed over tens of thousands of years but then got caught in a huge cultural blender. Some liberal culture promotes the same idea with multiculturalism rather than a melting-pot but that is rather superficial and only lasts through a generation or two. Holiday celebrations don’t make a culture. One huge change I have seen over my time on these boards is acceptance that there are biological differences in human populations based on current research. However, it is much more nuanced than you think and, if you can try to understand it, it will help you with your world view. There is no such thing as one black race for example. Africa has the most human genetic diversity on earth to this day but there may be a reason why certain athletes come out of specific regions in Africa like Kenya for marathon runners. There is also some very recent research that shows that some European populations left Africa and then interbred with Neanderthals to become populations like the barrel chested nordics like yourself. We can help you understand that if you want based on the best research available. Deep human ancestry is a fascinating thing and I get even more irritated with the side that tries to block all evidence as a reflex than try those that go through what we know and fit it in with what they see. It is a super-complicated subject and both extreme sides are incorrect. ---
