I have never used Professor Rushton as an authority. I have substantiated his claims about black inferior intelligence and crime with cites about SAT scores and statistics drawn by the FBI. Because I cannot substantiate Professor Rushton’s claims about large black penises, I do not. I also do not think black penis size matters. What does matter are shamefully high rates of black illegitimacy.
Why is it immoral to expect blacks to behave and perform as well as whites? Why is it immoral to point out that they do not anywhere in the world, and never have at any time in history? Why is it immoral to suggest that these intractable racial differences indicate genetic differences?
I have never claimed that every black person is less intelligent than every white person. Indeed, I pointed out that the success of black professionals demonstrates that blacks with merit can succeed in American society.
Your distortion of what I do believe is an example of the straw man fallacy.
Description of Straw Man
The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person’s actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of “reasoning” has the following pattern:
Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.
This sort of “reasoning” is fallacious because attacking a distorted version of a position simply does not constitute an attack on the position itself. One might as well expect an attack on a poor drawing of a person to hurt the person. http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html
Before WW2 no human set foot on the moon either.
Cars where not as common as they are today.
Airlines where not offering mass tourism around the world.
HIV was not known to people.
The Pill as a contraception was not known.
Vaccines against polio, measles and rubella were developed in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Also, we found out that the Earth is not flat and the Sun is not traveling around the Earth.
However, Racism was then and still is typically seen in idiots and uneducated people , since they are not able to learn.
The greatest guilt of today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one’s eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: “But I didn’t mean this!!!” -I’m sure you didn’t mean to sound like a racist, but you have to question why your opinions are getting such a massive backlog of abuse and criticsm…do you think perhaps, you’re be a tad unreasonable?
-i do hope you don’t get too offended by all the abuse. I presume youre used to it by now. -Seriously though - how old are you?
How nice it must be, as a scientist, to be able to just accept circumstantial evidence and nothing more as enough to support your theory.
Let me try.
White people, in the last 1000 years were responsible for the beginning of more wars and casualties than blacks. Therefore white people are greedy, warmongering bloodthirsty savages, by mere genetics obviously, I mean, we’re talking a fucking millenium here; probably more, so no need to factor in anything else. Therefore, whites should not be allowed to vie for any rank in the United States government, whatsoever, if we can only admit to ourselves this horrible truth.
And… Done! Now I can go back to picking out all the brown M&Ms, because they just make the other colors look stupider. Amiright?
Where is there evidence that black stupidity, crime, and sexual irresponsibility are not genetic? The fact that these characteristics are true of blacks everywhere in the world, and always have been provides strong evidence that they are caused biologically.
Also, they make sense when we consider previous population pressures. Qualities that had survival value in the African jungle earn one felony convictions in a civilized country.
In Russia there are virtually no blacks, yet they still do have crimes - even a Mafia … how does this happen? Since only Black’s commit crimes?
Something is clearly wrong with your theory.
Whites are more skilled in war, but I do not believe that war has been more prevalent in Europe than in Africa. Currently war is endemic in parts of sub Saharan Africa. It is often combined with mass rape and even cannibalism.
You forgot the rather obvious one: the discovery of DNA in 1953 and all the subsequent work on genetics that followed from that. Which is kind of relevant to the discussion at hand.
First of all, and most obviously, I have never said that only blacks commit crimes. I have said that those who claim that I did say that commit the straw man fallacy.
Currently the Russian murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants is 12. That is unusually high for a white nation, but lower than for most countries in Latin America and sub Saharan Africa.
For example, in Honduras the murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants is 86. In Jamaica it is 39. In South Africa it is 32.
That’s not “blacks” you’re talking about; that’s “people”. Stupidity, crime and sexual irresponsibility are common to all cultures everywhere throughout history.
Well, if you do not believe it, clearly that settles it. Never mind, you know, actual history. I’m sure those few minor skirmishes don’t count somehow.
By your theory, then, Oriental types should never have wars involving rape and cannibalism. Or have they all evolved better genes in the past sixty years?
NDD- you have not addressed the fact that Africa contains more genetic diversity then the rest of the world combined, yet you lump in all black Africans together, despite the fact that many populations of black Africans are more closely genetically related to European or Asian populations then to certain other black African populations. Is it not completely ridiculous, then, to talk of a “Negro” or “black” race?
And what does Honduras or El Salvador (the leaders of your homicide list) to do with Black people? They are of Spanish/Portuguese decent… meaning West and Central Europe, which has the lowest rate of 1.2.
That may be just me, but I think, that the homicide rate has more to do with poverty and corruption than with race.
I have sh*t to do today, but this is real car crash telly! my toes are curling!! i’m not down with the nomenclature, but is this what you call a ‘troll’? -I don’t believe anybody can actually think like this! -not unless there’s something wrong. -Perhaps something inherited through bad parenting. …perhaps inbreeding? perhaps his parents are descendents from the land of bongobongo, that oh so stupid of lands. -it’s all to do with genetics , you know :o
She, in spite of nature,
Of years, of country, credit, every thing,
To fall in love with what she fear’d to look on!
It is a judgment maim’d and most imperfect
That will confess perfection so could err
Against all rules of nature,
