Violence, Poverty, and Ancestry

This reminded me of what I’ve read referring to Albion’s Seed. Is it actually reliable? It seems a little too pat, a little too just-so, a little too like the OP and the Bell Curve and such…

I read the first line and was certain this was someone brand-new to the Dope. Seven months, huh?

Eh.

Six.

sigh I’ve explained this before. The Scandinavian countries threw out the bad element, who put a good face on it by claiming they were going off exploring, with a little raping and rapine on the side. That’s how Erik the Red got to Iceland, but he was incorrigible and lit out for Greenland to set up a real estate scam. His boy Leif tried to set up a moonshine business in Canada, but the locals kicked them back to Greenland, where they still live, happily killing each other.

After the punks were gone the Norwegians who remained became peaceful farmers, accountants, and systems analysts until Minnesota was discovered, providing them with better farmland and flatter places to build their traditional snug homes and technology centers.

As is explained in Albion’s Seed, the American South is Great Britain’s Greenland.

Everybody’s a Little Racist

Its not racist to state the truth and I’m glad someone on this board finally is! What people are afraid to say is that it certainly is more likely for some types of people, let’s just come out and use the word “race”, are much more likely to commit crimes than others. They don’t want to say its a racial thing, but it is. After all, there’s no possible explanation other than race when you find out that pedophiles are more likely to be white. Pretty much every serial killer and mass murderer are also white, not to mention 99% of the population of the KKK (the 1% is the guy who’s black but he’s blind so he doesn’t know). And did you know that Clay Aiken, the whitest guy in the history of the world, is gay? That means that whites have a predisposition to be gay! Jesse Ventura, white guy, but wears a feathered boa around? You can’t get any more gay than that! I’ve never seen a black guy wear a feathered boa, ever. So in conclusion, white people tend to be violent gays purple monkey dishwasher

Seeing as a whole bunch of people stepped up to the plate and pointed out that white people are WAY ahead of black people in murderous behavior, wouldn’t that actually tend to support the OP’s point that race is a factor? Might not help him much if he thinks less of black people for being so violent, but hey. Gotta start somewhere.

Have you ever heard of a guy named Prince? You should have said “…a black guy NOT NAMED PRINCE wear a feathered boa…”

Well obviously Prince is white.

I’m here not to make a statement but to ask a question:

Why are all racists as dumb as the OP?

(Ha! Fooled you! I’m really making a statement!)

:confused: I always thought he was purple.

Well, he is from Minnesota, which is mostly white.

I’d love for once for this to be followed by a rant on cheese or cockroaches or something…

RuPaul.

How about:

I’m Not a Racist, but it really chaps my ass when my kids leave their dirty dishes in the sink when it would only take ten seconds to rinse them off and put them in the dishwasher?

Like that?

My brother went through a phase where he’d do exactly that. “Not to be racist, but do you want to hang out on Friday?”

Or for that matter Jimi Hendrix.

Excellent. I shall sleep well tonight, thanks to your kindness.

Aaah, I see you’ve met Chief Pedant?

Yes.
