    From your previous posts I thought, in Canada, you have it all figured out.

    RM without generalization you could never learn anything, you would stay an infant mentally for the whole life.
    Animals make generalizations (associations) in order to survive!

    Few blacks like Thomas Sowell do not matter in large scheme of things.

  4. Question for those who buy into the 'Blacks are a sub-race' nonsense: How do you explain the fact that throughout most of recorded history, whites were the barbarians, and various dark-skinned people were culturally and scientifically superior?

    I have no illusions about the current U.S. sociological situation. I'd much rather have my car break down in an all-white U.S. neighborhood than an all-black one (anyone claiming otherwise is a liar)... but supposed 'genetic inferiority' has absolutely nothing to do with that. With the right cultural and societal changes, in under a hundred years time I could easily envision a future world where black crime rates are far lower than among whites.

    Anyone familiar with "Lord of the Flies"? We're <b>all</b> inherently violent savages underneath it all. Some cultures are just (temporarily) better than others at muzzling humanity's innate barbarism.

  5. Are you saying you weren't able to recognize the fact that the entire video was intended as a joke?

    Read an interview, read an interview, read a motherfuckin' interview:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy.../11/21/AR2007112102491.html?nav=rss_education

    " 'Read a Book' was a joke from the beginning," he says. "It was more about parodying the state of hip-hop."

    "Armah knows he is on shaky ground with some of the lyrics, but says he was trying to stick with the formula: make the song as ridiculous as possible to imitate the ridiculousness of many rap songs. He enlisted teenagers to plug in lyrics that they thought would work -- and also be funny -- to drive home the point of positive behavior, and they came up with "brush yo' teeth" and "wear deodorant."

  6. So you are saying that whites were cannibals and not Africans?

    And whites were throwing spears when Africans were being Bach and Beethoven?

    Africans created planes? Cars? Anything but warring with and eating each other?

    no. it is more detailed and more precise what he is saying: you
    are dumb and you are right now proving it.

    thank you very much. that sums it up best. but unfortunately
    especially the american part of this planet's white population still
    believes that martha stewart and brad pitt are the summit of
    human development ...

    maybe, just maybe, the US and the whites are right now just those
    who have the say on this planet. and maybe, just maybe, the
    romans, the chinese, the japanese, the indians and so forth
    thought the same about "inferior" races when it was them to
    rule. and africans btw did the same. certain tribes refer to
    others as "humans" only for members of their own tribe. sounds
    all too familiar, doesn't it? .... and, yhea, remember that little swastica
    party in germany, that studied in great detail how FAR superior we
    as whites are. i am mixig things here, do you say? oh really? do i ...

  10. You mean the way that the Egyptians were culturally and scientifically superior to the Jews?

    Sorry, I don't look to the "lord of the flies" for insight into human behavior. I think there are more credible sources.
