I'm not humoring you here..because to do so would be to lose -all- respect for you.

Quote:I think the general perception over almost the entire world is that black people are savage and untrustworthy.  Certainly, the populations of most Asian countries will say so, and quite unapologetically.

The next questions would be-- is it a fact that there are racial differences, or is it due to cultural or economic conditions?  Or is it simply just a big fat lie, common in almost all regions of the world?
Gee..that's a real headscratcher.......

Quote:Or am I making shit up, and nobody thinks that at all, and I'm just pulling it out of my own racist ass?
You're telling me that there are alot of racists in the world?  Shit, you've really knocked me over..I never knew...... Rolleyes

Quote:In some metrics, black people at least in the US, clearly ARE inferior-- in average IQ for example.  Then we have to ask why-- is it because the IQ tests are biased toward white participants?  Or because socioeconomic conditions lead to bad education?
Oh for fucks sake Benny.  

Quote:And then, we have to ask-- EVEN IF there are actual racial differences, should it matter at all with regard to rights of citizenship?  I'd certainly argue not.
................................... Facepalm

You're not just reading the alt right script..at this point, you're following the playbook too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
