Franklin Roosevelt owed his landslide victories to the Solid South. Because most blacks were denied equal rights by Jim Crow legislation white blue collar workers could vote Democrat without fearing that they were voting for equality with blacks.

“General unqualified superiority” is a meaningless term of your own invention that you use to create a pinpoint-narrow definition of racism and then claim that it doesn’t apply to you. In the context of this discussion, which is about intelligence (and specifically, limitations in intelligence that have a genetic basis), yes, saying “black people are less intelligent” is equivalent to saying “blacks are inferior.” A racist who thinks black people are stupid, lazy criminals but they’re not _inferior_ because they can jump higher and dance better is still a racist.

I am careful to distinguish between sub Saharan Africa, and Northern Africa which has throughout historical times been inhabited by whites.

Morocco, Egypt, Libya, and Algeria have lower murder rates than the United States. Most sub Saharan countries have much higher murder rates.

God, I was just joking when I implied you used that name because the New Deal was racist bullshit. Holy fucking shit. I’m just in awe right now. You are officially the most racist person I have ever encountered on the internet.

Let me break it down for you, dipshit. Assume, for the sake of argument, that we observe the moon to be white.

Here are three theories attempting to explain this observation.

1. The moon is made of mozzarella.
2. The moon is covered in snow.
3. The sun reflects light off of the moon’s surface.

Given an absence of evidence, any of those things could be true. A true scientific mind would hold them all equal. However, some people developed a theory that the third thing is true, and they devoted an extensive amount of time researching it, and gathered an extensive amount of data supporting that theory. And you are wandering in here shouting the moon is made of cheese. Why? Because it’s white. Logic fail.

**NDD,** you do realize we all evolved from a common ancestor, and that despite genetic diversity, geneticists, anthropologists and biologists have all overwhelmingly concluded there’s only one remaining species of the genus Homo remaining:

_ **Homo sapiens sapiens.** _ From which you, me, Hitler, Jesus Christ, 50 Cent, Jim Crow, Martin Luther King, Jr., Michael Jackson (we believe), and everyone dating back to about 200,000 years ago are all moulded from.

Genes do account for variation in an infinite combination of phenotypes, but spread across a population of 7 billion people, any patterns in intelligence, work ethic, singing ability, or knitting skillz, are largely due to socioeconomic and cultural foundations than the relatively small margin of differing genes among blurred, man-made “racial” lines may have to do with it, if any at all.

And still no signs of evolution selecting against racism yet. _sigh_

They shouldn’t have gone do that, when there were perfectly serviceable inbred yokels from the Deep South who could have told them what everybody knows. So much time, effort and money wasted !

This being the Pit, why be sneaky at all? You’re a pathetic racist and kind of stupid, to boot, in your inability to consider environmental factors, your inability to define the races that you claim show such stark differences, and your general “woe is me, I’m being so oppressed” attitude.

Did you know that left-handed people are far more likely to be injured by power tools? If someone were inclined to hate left-handed people as much as you hate blacks, they could conclude that left-handed people were intellectually incapable of understanding or operating machinery, and ignore all arguments to the contrary. It would be a waste of time to spoon-feed such a person facts about how the environment (filled with power tools designed to favour the right hand) creates hazards for the left-handed. It would be just as productive (i.e. not productive at all) to call that person a fucking bigot.  
You’re a fucking bigot.

Lol, it’s only meaningless if your own use of the word “superior” is meaningless.

Let me ask you this:

In your view, is there any difference between asserting that “Person X is more intelligent than Person Y” and asserting that “Person X is superior to Person Y”?

> [@](#):

Lol, please show me where I have done this. Please QUOTE me. Failing that, please admit that I did no such thing and apologize. Your choice.

Sorry, but I’m not going to make an exception to my rules for you. If you insist on strawmanning me, then I’m putting you on ignore.

This doesn’t address my point at all… most of Africa’s genetic diversity is in sub-Saharan Africa- and there you’ll find population groups that differ more than one might with Europeans or Asians. So how can they all be one race?
