Racial Fatigue?

[The_Trouvere]

Race is a bio construct when picking basketball players.

Race is also a biological construct for affirmative action bean counters. When it turns out that a smaller percentage of blacks passed the entrance exam, as it always does, they conclude that there is something wrong with the entrance exam, rather the blacks who failed because they lacked the intelligence to pass.

 

[1sickbastard]

The biological definition of race is a geographically isolated breeding population that shares certain characteristics in higher frequencies than other populations of that species, but has not become reproductively isolated from other populations of the same species...

Human racial groups compose a number of breeding units that in the past remained geographically and perhaps temporally isolated, yet could interbreed and produce viable offspring within the species Homo sapiens sapiens.

Race
Definition

noun

(1) A group or population of humans categorized on the basis of various sets of heritable characteristics (such as color of skin, eyes, and hair).

(2) A descent from a common heritage, ancestor, breed or stock.

(3) A tribe or family of people sharing a common breed or lineage.

(4) A population of interbreeding species that develops distinct characteristics differing from other populations of the same species, especially as caused by geographical isolation.

race

1 a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group
b : breed
2 : a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits

You missed the last paragraph in the first article cited:
"The molecular techniques outlined above now allow anthropologists to study the migration patterns of ancient peoples. Genetic diversity has resulted from the extensive hybridization that has occurred in the last two hundred thousand years, hiding any clear evidence for typological classification of race. Moreover, when selection pressures (temperature, altitude) are coupled with phenotypic variation, phenotypic expression defies taxonomic assignment of race. The genetic diversity within any historically defined race swamps the small amount of difference between such groups, making the boundaries of these categories entirely arbitrary. Therefore, race in humans does not have a biological meaning.

Also the supplement in the dictionary site given;

"Supplement

Humans have been categorized into many distinct varieties or races. One of the most common (and an old) subcategorization of human species is the five human races by Blumenbach: the Caucasian (white race), Mongolian (yellow race), Ethiopian (negro race), American (red race), and the Malayan (brown race). At present, such classification is disputed to have no biological validity. The biological context of the term race is only widely accepted when used to refer to a subspecies arising from a partially isolated reproductive population and thus share a considerable degree of genetic similarity. An example is the African wildcat, which is a subspecies of the domesticated cat."

Please note that Homo sapiens sapiens is currently not considered to have sufficient genetic drift in any sub-population to qualify as a sub-species, which is why the notion of race no longer carries much, if any, weight.

Note also;

The term "race" has zero meaning in science, not even taxonomy. It is, in fact, a hold-over from now-debunked theories which sought to justify racism using science. See the term, "scientific racism"

I said science, not within general language.

So far, all's you've done is prove your own point;

The claim that "race is only a social construct" is known in logic as a circular argument fallacy. In a circular argument one assumes what one needs to prove.

In this case "race" is defined as "a social construct." Definitions are not facts. They themselves are social constructs.

So are we done here?

so tell me, with all your 'education' why are you so poor?

At least he's able to carry on a reasonable discussion with demonstrable intelligence, something of which I doubt you'll ever be accused.

I suppose assigning epithets to those who have pointed out your utter lack of anything demonstrably useful to any discussion is your way of dealing with your embarrassment and your anger over said embarrassment.
Unfortunately, using such a transparent cover only serves to highlight those qualities.

Please, feel free to further humiliate yourself.

 

[Que]

No they shouldn't. They should be italicized. You took 2nd grade computer lab too, you know that. This is why everyone thinks that you're a troll.

Some of were in second grade when a computer would have filled the entire classroom and cost more than the school.

I learned Basic on a Vax 11. In college. It filled a large cabinet. You had to wait for the chance to run your two hundred lines of code.

You're welcome.

And thank you.
I do try.

You're that old?

I've learned BASIC on the KC85/II, a GDR produced home computer with unbelievable 16 kb RAM.

Having used a VAX machine doesn't necessarily mean "old", they were sold up until about 1988 or so.

I learned basic on a TRS-80 model 1 in middle school and later owned a Timex Sinclair 1000 as my first "home computer".

 

[PoppingTom]

Yeah, at that time, the KC85 was present. Or the C64. Legendary.

 

[The_Trouvere]

so tell me, with all your 'education' why are you so poor?

If you are not destitute someone else is paying your bills.

I have twenty years of computer programming experience. I have been a newspaper reporter. I have worked as a construction laborer, a motel desk clerk, and a security guard. I also have a university degree. I have taken specialized training for computer technology.

My last two jobs required me to pass three mental aptitude tests.

What have you ever done? What have you ever achieved?

All of us have the right to know, because you habitually accuse those who disagree with you of being failures.

Then why do you portray yourself as an ignorant racist here?

 

[The_Trouvere]

I tell the truth about racial differences. If telling the truth makes me a racist, I am proud to be one.

Far from being ignorant, I am well informed. That is obvious to everyone who reads my posts, including you.

If you think you are erudite, explain how what I have posted is not true. Do so with fact based and logical arguments. Your insults indicate that you cannot do that, and that you are privately aware that what I say is true.

I've proved you to be ignorant several times. The most recent is when you said books and periodicals should be underlined and I pointed out that hyperlinks are automatically underlined.

You say you're a proud racist but when I call you one, you claim I am insulting you. Ignorance seems to be your only friend.

1988 is pretty old.

I don't know the make or model of the computers in our lab but they were the big beige motherfuckers who still took floppy disks.

[badbabysitter]

I tell the truth about racial differences.

You present debunked pseudo science... that is not truth

If telling the truth makes me a racist, I am proud to be one.

Whwen you start telling the truth you might be a racist... but trying to defend debunked pseudo science no matter how many times it's shown to be fraudulent.. that makes you a racist

Far from being ignorant, I am well informed.

About debunked pseudo science

That is obvious to everyone who reads my posts, including you.

Yes... it is obvious you defend pseudo science

If you think you are erudite, explain how what I have posted is not true.

We have. many times.

Do so with fact based and logical arguments.

We have many times

Your insults indicate that you cannot do that, and that you are privately aware that what I say is true.

We insult you because you're becoming more and more of a caricature of a race-quack

How have my assertions been debunked? Twenty five years after the publication of The Bell Curve it is more obvious than ever that blacks on the average are considerably less intelligent than whites and Orientals.

Look at these charts with racial averages of SAT and ACT scores:

shttp://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/diplay.asp?id=171

http://www.blackexcel.org/06-sat-act-scores-by-race-ethnicity.htm

The failure of No Child Left Behind confirms assertions made in The Bell Curve.

Everywhere on earth and always throughout history the Negro race has been characterized by crime, stupidity, and illegitimate children. Where are the great civilizations they have created? Where on earth is there a viable society with a black majority population? Where is there any evidence that those people can create an advanced civilization without white tutelage?

Those are not rhetorical questions. I would like for you to try to answer them.

I post facts. You post insults.

 

[The_Trouvere]

I've proved you to be ignorant several times. The most recent is when you said books and periodicals should be underlined and I pointed out that hyperlinks are automatically underlined.

You say you're a proud racist but when I call you one, you claim I am insulting you. Ignorance seems to be your only friend.

If that is the best you can do I have nothing to worry about.

These are rhetorical questions. And the first sentence is racism in its purest.

Again, if you alone assign what the truth is, there's no reason to discuss with you.

If there is no reason to discuss with me, why did you respond to my post? Why have you been responding to my posts?

Also, what is racism? Is it racist to point out that blacks have a rate of violent crime that is over seven times the white rate? Is it racist to point out that blacks tend to score much lower than Orientals, whites, and Hispanics on all the mental aptitude tests, however they are designed? Is it racist to point out that the black rate of illegitimacy is about three times the white rate?

In short, is it racist to tell the truth about the Negro race?

That is a yes or no question. I invite you or anyone else who answers to elaborate on your answer, but "Yes" or "No" should be in the answer.

 

[CandiCame]

Oh, are we still talking to Tou like he's real? Because if so, you know...

Oriental? That's not something that real people say and we all know it.

Nope. But this is a matter of society, tradition, social constructs.

You're not telling THIS. You're saying " the Negro race has been characterized by crime, stupidity, and illegitimate children".

And this is racist.

You don't necesarily need to change your pouint of view, I won't expect too much. But be true to the game. This is racist, nothing else.

 

[PoppingTom]

Oh, are we stalling to Tou like he's real? Because if so, you know...

Oriental? That's not something that real people say and we all know it.

Oh... there should be people who say "false and homosexual" instead of "fake and gay" to shitty youtube videos. Call it intellectual, or prim and proper.

Tou is more real than the usual 50 cent brigade. He's able to answer without madness.
