Why is the white race so different? (page 5)

Did this interbreeding happen among sub-Saharan Africans*?

not as far as I know

If you forcibly move one group to another area, problems result. Blacks in higher latitudes tend to have higher blood pressure, obesity, and tend to feel lousy, especially in winter.

Well of course, since each group evolved to be a good match to the environment they live in.

And of course not all races are equal. Some are stronger than others. Some are more intelligent than others in certain areas, some are more prone to certain behaviors than others. We should be ok with just speaking about this without shame.

This idea that all races are equal, is based on the idiotic belief some man in the sky created all humans equally, when this is clearly not true. And if there was a god, he should have known that it would be a bad idea to have different race considering the problems it causes.

Look up the statistics of eye color before saying this or that.

Black/brown hair and black/brown eyes are the most common (95% of the world) even amongst 'the whitest' indigenous people in places like Scandinavia and the UK the majority of people still have dark hair/eyes and the fairer skin and hair/eye colors are very much localized to Scandinavia and the UK and their descendants, if the British weren't so good at conquering the northern US it's often said we'd all speak French, in reality the US would probably be full of "Mexicans". Even now, the majority of the people in the US isn't even "white", even though considered "white, non-hispanic" (60% of people in North America) which is misnomered and should be "White/Brown, Not from African or Hispanic descent") many are from North African or Southern European descent which tends to be a slight tan going to a darker tan in summer (your average "Italian").

What you're experiencing is an inherent human statistical bias, you actually NOTICE red hair, blond hairs etc BECAUSE they are rare. Do you notice that certain people are black? It's because they are rare in your area, live in a predominantly black area for a while and you'll notice you don't notice it anymore, that distinction goes away.

It's a similar bias that springs up if you buy a new car, suddenly everyone is driving the same brand/type/color car as you. In reality nothing has changed about the distribution of red/white/blue Chevy/VW/Nissan cars, you just notice it because you've been primed by the purchase of the new car.

Crazyguy - Ok my questions were never intended to be racist,

Really?? Are you new to this board, have you noticed that the longest topics here are about race, going on for 20 some pages? You really thought you would just a page of two of comments and that was it?

In spite of the evidence of mutations and their random occurrence in any race, people are missing the point that an above average variety of genes "collection" (as it is being suggested in the white race) is not due to the race but to how people decide to group themselves, how their migration patterns affected them and how they have chosen to live, etc, but not because there's a different genetic mechanism that affects one race over another to cause more "variety" than another. What happens is that all those factors either concentrate and/or isolate some traits, or end up eliminating others.

Whether or not we have Neanderthal genes is not obviously indicative of how a race will change and what its traits are going to be. We also cannot judge traits by certain measurements like IQ tests because they are very subjective. They often measure education and not intelligence. Historically, every major race has kicked ass at one point or another. So, cultural success is not exclusive to one race or anther. The real problem may be that we are not well informed about races and fall for the prejudice that one or another race has always been successful. This is partly what gives rise to the idea that Jesus was white. It indicates that a race will picture history in their own image. So, God is white, Jesus was Aryan and Oscar nominees ar mostly white. As a society, we need better exposure to other races.

good points etude

Well said, Etude.

From a Biblical standpoint, the Hamitic group was the first world power, the Semitic next, followed by the Japhetic.

Will this group be the last?

From what is going on in Washington, Western, and Northern Europe, looks like it.

Snowbird - How can anybody still believe Iron Age myths about the origin of race?

Nobody is afflicted by ancient curses. Please feel free to join the rest of us in the 21st century.
