Can someone explain the whole fucking race thing to me. We classify people by where they originate from. However, people migrate and interbreed constantly. The only way to stay what you are is to breed with your own kind, but there is no such thing as your own kind because you yourself are a compilation of thousands of individuals. Plus females are designed to breed with males as different from them as possible.

we arent suppose to point out the differences in race, because race is apparently an "illusion".
But already its proof of natural selection (skin colour, nose width, hair type etc) to match the surroundings, but clearly natural selection has an affect on how we think, our hormones etc.

So if your white, its because your ancestors have evolved in a vitamin d deficient area in a cold climate, which changes how you would hunt for food in a hot country, and would pressure your brain into thinking differently.

There's something you need to keep in mind. Exceptions exist. Prejudice will always be logically unsound.

However, the facts are sufficient to conclude that policies such as affirmative action should be eliminated. Instead, other measures should be taken--measures such as preventing communication of race and sex in the hiring process, for example. This would give potential employers no option but to select employees based only on qualifications.

Incorrect. If races are equal, affirmative action is a slightly flawed, but logical solution. If races are not equal, affirmative action is fatally flawed and illogical.

I am providing evidence for the elimination of a construct which has negatively impacted society.

That's easy--there is no such thing as race.

We thought there was until, genetically, we realized that no one gene determined whether you were 'black' or 'white' really.

Yeah melanin determines our 'skin color' but it does not define 'race' because there is no such thing.

We are, at this point, one species and what that means (species) can vary depending on what scientific journal you read. Some say being the same species is determined partly by the ability of breeding animals to be able to breed successfully and produce fertile offspring, in the wild.

I suppose you can say that we are in the 'wild', or in our natural habitat all over the world in our respective countries/cities/ etc.

Anyway, the best way to look at us, humans is that we are one human family and our phenotypes reflect the result of lots of factors such as gene mixing, genetic drift, environmental effects,mutation etc.

We are the same creature but affected by upbringing and culture. So, see we have plenty things to argue about besides so called 'race'.

Sakaruda you seem to be making your arguments based upon scientific fact and not personal prejudice so I think you're just about the closest thing to an intelligent individual here.

I'll be cantor with you; I don't understand affirmative action enough to form an educated opinion about it. What precisely is it made to do? Compensate for past wrongs by giving minorities unfair advantages? That's the best I can figure from what I'm hearing. If that is the case, then I don't really think I believe in it and do agree that gender and race should be removed from the equation so that true equal opportunity can come about in the sense that everyone has the opportunity to attain a job given they are qualified (and beforehand they would have the same opportunities at attaining said qualifications given our shared environment) Does that sound about right?

I'm all for love and communion and such but there are just so many conflicting views with this that I'm uncertain of what to believe anymore. At the end of the day though I'd prefer to be a cold rationalist instead of an idealistic, yet ignorant individual.

I was always of the mind though that because we can successfully interbreed and create fertile offspring we are a single species. A friend of mine used to state that there was no such thing as a black or a white race, but that we are instead a human race and our genetic diversity strengthens us as a whole. There will always be exceptions to established notions of the tendencies of people belonging to each race group so no one race can be heralded as the superior to the others because that is giving credit where it is undue as the upbringing of the individual and the environment they are in are just as, if not more important than their race.

I didn't ever honestly think being a few shades lighter or darker would have too much of an effect upon a person so logically it should be entirely irrelevant and looking upon it so closely would be nothing more than idiocy and a waste of time.

But that is simply what I used to/ presently do believe. I'm here to learn though so at the risk of having my own ideals torn apart I'd like to ask if anyone would like to dispute this in a rational manner.

I think we should really just let slavery go. In the first place black Africans had been busy enslaving one another and selling themselves out to the highest bidder for a countless number of years before whites even tried pulling that shit. They invented the craft, the Europeans simply did it on a far larger scale. But even then, African kings proceeded to sell their people to whites in exchange for weapons and supplies.

On top of that, bad shit has happened to just about every race ever throughout history. Japanese people aren't banging down America's doors for reparations for Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

From what I understand, the intention is to "create equality." Groups which are perceived as being at a disadvantage (such as black people) are supposed to be represented proportionally to their population.

In other words, if a business is located in an area where the population is 60% white and 40% black, affirmative action requires about 40% of the employees to be black. This becomes a problem when, say, 80% of the most qualified applicants are white--many qualified white applicants are cheated out of a job while many unqualified black applicants get a job anyway.

It would be a good (though somewhat flawed) idea if the average abilities of both groups were equal, but if that is not the case, it is decidedly unfair.

gentlemen, may I offer some of my observations, I'm an imigrant myself, I've studied, work with all sort of people. I've studied lived and work with all race. There are significant different. I've gone to school with some of very tallented and intelligent black people, sadly they are the minority. The hard working, smart black are almost always born and grown up in a different country, most likely in Africa, they lack the entitlement attitude and have good work ethics, complain little, however, as the time gone on, they could change (when they stard dressing like the rap star they see on TV, it's hard to deviate when all your friends dress, talk act that way). Black people who were born, grown up here (North America or moved over from EU), some are bright and very polite, very normal in sense of white, Asian people standard, I asked and most of the time their parents are of academic related field, they emulate the lifestyle. Only one or two I have met said they think the style of rap stars made them want to be normal kind of deviate from the norm. Most of them are like the stereotype, can't help it, when their parents work often 2 jobs to keep the family afloat, don't really pay attention to what they dress, talk or school, it's incredibly hard to swim against the stream (friends, neighbors).

Asian, same thing, imigrant are bright, polite, no entitlement. Banana (yellow outside, white inside) are annoying, entitlement, some are bright, some are fucking smart (not so much on entitlement, this is because parents often give them the believe that they only have themselves to rely on), majority are doing well in school due to dilligent. Most of the time, parents are the deciding factors in Asian family, if the parents are on welfare, the chance is high that kids would have the same entitlement attitude, not doing well in school, and annoying little shit. About 20% however seem tobe ashame of the family and actually strive for better, I've seen it as well, damn if they aren't smart, they work very hard compared to surrounding peers, although nothing comparable to new immigrants.

White people, same shit pretty much, parenting, country of origin. Mom dad on welfare or minimum wages, kid often turned out pretty shitty. Hang out with black kids, very shitty. There are exception cases, I'm friend with the parents and I admire their efford, they are somewhat comparable to strict Asian parents. Kids from middle class parents are mildly annoying (whiny and somewhat out of touch) but generally bright and polite.

I came from place where it's pretty homogeneous, but still you have regional differences.

You dont need his confirmation, its evidential that he is an idiot just from reading this thread alone.

sorry, my bad if it's not clear, it's not by default but since the majority of black kids where I live fit the stereotype (entitlement, attitude, gang style etc) and the white kids who hang out with them, usually, doesn't matter what the upbringing, sort of turned out shittier (dealling, attitude, talk like idiot, kind of like whigger). That's the environment factor, I believe.

So you got big dogs, small dogs, white dogs, black dogs. They're all dogs. You give em a bone, pat them on the head and they all act like dogs.

When dogs look at dogs they don't see dogs. Dogs don't have good sight, so far away it might be a badger or tiger. Dogs don't see color.

But if you put a pack a dogs together, they all know they're dogs because they can smell each other. They all smell the same and group in a pack. You might call them different "breeds" but dogs don't care. Maybe a different pack has a different smell, since they eat differently. We see the two packs fight since both packs want the same things. Because they're both packs of dogs.

Now put a pack of humans together. They all have the same body ratios. Females have hips wider than waist and males shoulders wider than hips. One pack of humans gets more sunlight and has darker skin. Dogs can't tell much difference, they're color blind and both packs of humans smell the same. The dogs see the two packs fight since both packs want the same things. Because they're both packs of humans.

Autistic and hypomanic. A nasty combination.

funny enough, even the middle class kids, once associate with the ghetto black kids turned out pretty bad, sometimes, parents didn't know, or kids hide it well, they think it's ok, individuality and all that jazz but the kid often is on slippery slope. Same with Asian, but you don't see Asian and black very often. Again, it's hard going against the stream, you hang out with a group, you will want to mimic what the group do, dress, talk, kind of branch out, now it's pretty hard to be nice polite and such when peer pressure is all on you. Most of the time it's view point too, they all want to look tough, been through more bad shit and such, bragging right, I guess. Does that make more sense?

Dogs aren’t colour blind, they just don’t see the range of colours that other species, like humans do. A study of dogs concluded that they see a range of colours predominantly made up of yellows and blues.

So rather than a rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, a dog sees an arc of very dark grey, dark yellow or brown, light yellow, gray, light blue and dark blue.

Jumping
If an 80-pound German Shepherd jumps up on a human, everyone agrees that this behavior needs to be corrected. Everyone sees this as a problem and the owners would seek help from a trainer, and/or read up on it on the Internet to remedy the behavior. At the very least, the dog would be locked in a separate room when guests arrived to protect the guests from getting hurt.

Now picture a little 8-pound Miniature Pinscher jumping up on a human. You look down and I’ll be darned, it's kind of cute. It does not hurt and people think "The dog likes me!"

But what does it really mean? If dogs were human this would be true ... but they are not. Jumping has a totally different meaning to a dog than it does a human. It's a dominancy and respect issue. For a dog, space is a sign of respect and when you allow your little dog to jump on a human you are allowing them to disrespect a human. You are allowing them to display pack leader behaviors.

My dogs know to stay away from me until I invite them to come closer. Feels good, man.
