    I can't say what science might determine in the future.

    As I said, I note that researchers seem to be working
    TOWARD knowing such things. WHY?

    Look at the subject line. The racists KNOW that there
    is genetics for all this, and they therefore KNOW what

    I don't quite REact to things as you do. LMAO - I just
    noticed the subject line. Okee dokey.

    In other words, you jumped into a discussion without
    knowing what the issue is, because you like to defend
    racists.

    The original post, under that thread title, cited the
    "racist" AP news article by those "racist" Associated_Press
    journalists, which used the term "mutant" in reference to
    the DAFN DNA:

    04.17.2004 -- Testing confirms African-American burial
    ground

    PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - DNA testing has confirmed that
    bodies uncovered at a grave site are African-American
    and confirmed a genetic trait that will make it easier
    to identify Africans, a researcher said. Last fall,
    crews digging a new sewer line found 13 coffins with
    human remains.

    Samples from four coffins were sent to the Boston University
    School of Medicine, where Dr. Bruce Jackson works on the DNA
    African-American Roots Project, trying to link African-
    Americans to their ancestral heritage.

    The tests backed up historical research which found the site
    on city maps dating back to 1705 identified as a "Negro
    Burying Ground." Jackson said scientists found what is known
    as a "deletion" of two base sequences in the DNA, which is
    found in about 95 percent of African- Americans and
    Caribbean blacks.

    "It implies that the *MUTATION* existed among Africans even
    two or three centuries ago," he said. "Its a true marker.
    What we see in modern African-Americans is a marker that has
    been passed down. Its going to make it a lot easier to
    identify Africans now." [....]

    Racial consciousness led to restrictions and even bans on
    white parents adopting black babies, even when the
    alternative was a succession of foster homes. The stated
    belief was that white families would be unable to provide
    black or bi-racial children with a healthy black identity.

    That policy may have existed locally but sure isn't/wasn't
    nationawide. Certainly Bob could have gotten a half-DAFN

    I was wondering if perhapz his wife had something to do with

    black or bi-racial children with a healthy black
    identity.

    What is a "black identity"? There's no such thing as race,

    Race is socially constructed, thus there are those who
    believe that a child who would be identified as black by the
    color of his skin and the shape of his features needs to
    have contact with others for whom this is also an identity.

    Teaching children who are discriminated against how to deal
    with such matters is best done by those who have personally
    experienced it.

    I don't agree that bi-racial adoption is a bad thing, but
    this was the theory and still is. Most agencies will not
    allow *white couples* to adopt healthy *black* babies
    even today. This was even more true in the time period
    when Bob adopted his children. In the 1960s, the racial
    barriers were being broken and white families were
    adopting black children.

    In 1972, the National Association of Black Social Workers
    took a vehement stand against the placement of black
    children in white homes. I don't believe that these people
    are correct in their position, but it is their position
    which has become part of the adoption culture. In 1999, btw,
    there was a lawsuit which contended that the social agencies
    delayed and denied transracial adoptions due to this
    position taken by the social workers involved in these
    cases. The law does not support this, but the agencies
    procrastinate and delay placement.

    I know that it is false. While there might be political
    pressure against it, we have innumerable examples of
    science ignoring or overcoming political pressure. If
    nothing else, racist scientists like Jensen would come
    out with such a thing if it existed.

    You see - WHY do you call Jensen a racist?

    Because he is.

    I doubt his own colleagues think of him in that light.

    Jensen was condemned as racist in the late 1960s by a

    World War.

    Well, REacting to what the Nazis did in ww2 - and branding a
    man who was never considered a racist - a racist due to that
    REaction is stupid. It's irrational. It's no different from
    what Stalin did, Bob.

    Biological taxonomy is based on the capability to

    her as black and so will everyone else. If she claims

    woman is white.

    Lemme go look at her. paula-paula-

    abdul.net/publicity7_04.jpg and paula-paula-
    abdul.net/publicity1_97.jpg oops, well, I'd think that girl
    was black from those pictures. That is NOT the girl I saw -
    oh well. I saw a girl singing a song called "Slave For You"
    on a cable channel. The song sucked sort of, tho I have to
    admit the chords were weird for that kind of music. She was
    a VERY VERY good dancer, tho! That girl was WHITE.
    Definitely white.

    Note that I said blacks would accept her IF she did that.
    However, I also said that if she claims she's not black,
    then it would be LEFT TO OTHER TO BELIEVE that - AND ACCEPT
    it. The girl in those photos (I did a search for Paula
    Abdul) I'd say is black. Simple as that. There isn't even
    any one thing I can POINT TO - that I could say gives me
    that impression - it's in the whole face.

    Lemme go search the other girl.

    celebritysearchengine.co.ukmariacarey
    1.htm not a good image. celebritysearchengine.co-celebritysearchengine.co-
    .uk/fantasy/m/mariacarey2.htm not a good image. I am
    noticing that the color tones in these photos are very odd,
    so far. celebritysearchengine.co.ukma
    riacarey3.htm now the girl in THIS photo doesn't look
    remotely like the girl in the second photo. It's supposed to
    be the same girl. celebritysearchengine.co.ukfa
    ntasy/m/mariacarey4.htm I'd say the girl in this photo is
    white. celebritysearchengine.co.ukmar
    iacarey5.htm white here too. celebritysearchengi-celebritysearchengi-
    ne.co.uk/fantasy/m/mariacarey6.htm white.

    So goes it. I actually went to their websites and looked at
    pictures of them both. OK - happy now? On the Stern show,
    they were saying that these girls were white "trying to be
    black" to get street creds. The show is on radio, you know.
    I'm not backpeddling - I just opened my mouth and yammered
    without taking a look at these girls and assumed the
    speakers on Stern were right.

    Well, you go tell blacks to stop calling all those things
    "acting black" Bob - do NOT tell me about it because it's
    not my problem and definitely NOT my concern. They call it
    "acting black." You know, everyone in the society that
    speaks lingo-speak, casual, LET GO, relaxed speech in
    comfort (COMFORT - got it?) knows what that expression means
    - just like once upon a time everyone knew what groovy or
    ornry meant. Got it? I don't care to "recognize" much about
    what is or is not universal to blah blah on the freaking
    moon (may as well be there) - people that I don't know,
    don't hang with, never will know. I have no obligation to
    "know" that information. I watch TV for entertainment. Black
    produced movies are often very entertaiinng. Where the HELL
    do you think I might pick up on what BLACKS SAY? From their
    own damned movies, made by them FOR themselves. At the pt
    job when and if they speak to me on a break? Sure thing,
    Bob. Did they ACT BLACK? Oh, you bet they did. What did they
    say about one black guy that did not act that way? "Man, he
    act WHAAT (white), you know what I mean?" And OH, what did
    that one guy act like? An anal rententive, sompulsive,
    pretentious FOP. Meanwhile, there were tons of WHAAT people
    there that didn't in ANY way act like that one black guy
    that the other blacks ragged on. So please. Spare me your
    preaching. Where do I get off calling that behavior "acting
    blacks?" By giving blacks the benefit of KNOWING what they
    act like and being up front about saying it. LMAO. One of
    the ones that acted black got elevated to supervisor and
    behaved like a god damned THUG on that job - never in my

    Do you know what FAMILIAL means? Kids pick up the behavior,

    So I might think this person you know DOES act Italian. Of

    That's ear training.

    No, I could do that before anyone ever "taught" me what
    an E or a C minor was - could do it as a tiny child even.

    You could not write down notes and chords until you were
    taught musical notation.

    God, you are a twisting distorter if ever I saw one. I
    never said write down. I never even said read. I could PLAY
    notes and chords the first day a toy keyboard was brought
    into the home - FACT. It had two octaves on it. I could
    hear a song and PLAY IT - I had NO idea what the notes or
    chords were called - and couldn't write or read anything.
    GOT IT NOW? I remember the first song I "HAD" to play - I
    HAD to HAVE it. I didn't even know the name of the song.
    Turns out it was Autumn in New York. For one part of it, I
    added a few "chords" of my own - kinda like old jazz. The
    first classical song I had to HAVE was "The Swan" - and I
    mean I PLAYED it, right notes, right chords - tho with the
    Swan I didn't play the chords are chords - I played like
    arpeggios. Small ones (smal keyboard). I could simply hear
    this. I was 4 years old Bob. I could barely read ANYTHING
    at that age. But I could HEAR. "Peter" plays at the club.
    He can't read a single note, he has NO idea what a key is,
    or a clef. He can't read or write anything. But if he hears
    a song - he can PLAY IT. And if he forgets the middle of
    the song, he's DAMNED good at just making up a middle for
    it and it's damned good. He can even add nuances to it -
    he's oh SO good. He plays professionally - he gets hired,
    PAID to play. He can't read a single note - has NO idea
    what "that key" means. NOTHING. Not even the NAMES of
    chords. He asked me to teach him - I told him he didn't
    need it - but I'd have tried to do that if I saw him again
    and there was time. I can't see teaching him on his break
    time. It's called playing by ear. Bob, heh, I played the
    Moonlight Sonata from hearing it - however the turntable
    was fast so I played the entire song in the key of D minor
    - as I much much later learned that it was the wrong key -
    LMAO. But note for note, it is what I heard - and I mean
    every single note was right - but that was on a real piano,
    not just a two octave toy. Sure, I can play it now in the
    right key 🙂 LMAO. Some people can DO that, Bob. In fact,
    just about every group that plays for the clubs I go to
    does that, they play BY EAR - they can't read [censored]! The guy
    in Alpine Express can read music - which makes it a lot
    easier for me to GIVE THEM music and ask them to play it
    next time. He's the exception to the rule - he's the ONLY
    guy I ever met playing there that could read music. Just
    what is it you don't understand? You definitely do not have
    to know how to read a single note to PLAY MUSIC, Bob. Not
    even the Moonlight Sonata. You need EARS.

    My kid also has a natural ear. He could mimic someone's
    playing on the saxophone perfectly, and yet didn't know E
    or C minor. To write it down accurately using notation
    takes training, which is called "ear training".

    OH, ok, so you DO know what that is. Uh, no. Good ears are
    good ears. It's like hearing talk and speaking back.
    Reading music is like reading words. If you don't do it a
    lot and not stop doing it, y ou can easily forget it.
    Writing down what you hear is something I'm actually NOT so
    good at - because I never buckled down and heh - practiced
    doing it. For that matter, my HAND writing is not all that
    good either - it's illegible a lot of the time. Writing
    down music is tedious in itself, the circles, the coloring
    in the circles, the lines, etc etc. Just the other day I
    heard a BEAUTIFUL song on "Invitation to a Gunfighter" with
    Yule Brenner. He plays the harpsichord and OH, I HAD to
    have that song. I had to at least hear it a few times -
    MEMORY is involved, too, you know. No chance to just record
    it as he plays it (off the tape), because there is noise
    and talking over it in the scene - So I played it. I have
    not yet written it down (a chore). But when I do go to
    write it down, I don't just take paper and write. I have to
    PLAY it, piece by piece, slowly, I play a measure and write
    down, like measure by measure. I have to LOOK at where my
    hands is, what note I'm on - and then I write it down. When
    I learned myself the Moonlight Sonata (in D minor, LOL) I
    in no way wrote any of it down. NO way would I have
    bothered to do that. Way too much work - and why bother
    when I can play it? At the time, I knew what the G clef was
    - but I had no idea what Bass clef was - so I couldn't have
    written it down anyway. But why bother? I played
    it. A whole other process is happening here that has
    nothing to do with hearing. I also often forget HOW
    to write complex tempo - but I sure the hell can PLAY
    it or beat it out on a drum. That whole
    reading/writing thing takes practice that has nothing
    to do with hearing distinct tones. I can never forget
    how to play a song (u nless I forget the song itself)
    - and I can never forget how to beat a rhythm - I'm
    quite good at these. But writing it? I usually write
    fake sheets for myself! It's a lot less work. Fake
    sheets are for people who can PLAY, usually by ear.
    They are like a guide.

    Depends on how the parents act - how his peers in the
    community act. FAMILIAL. Familial means that a behavior or
    even a way of expressing, or how a person HOLDS their face,
    how the muscles move when expressing - it seems genetic - it
    seems to be passed down over and over - but it's in fact not
    genetic at all. It's familial. Learned behavior -
    unconscious or not. Black people have less musculuture in
    their faces, less subtle expressions are made by them - and
    THAT is VERY VERY noticeable to me. But it's not like I go
    out to look for it, or study it. I have to kind of try to
    PIN DOWN just what it is I'm seeing or intuiting. I pinned
    that one down. In the picture of Abdul I just saw - there is
    SOMETHING - it's in the combined photos - nose, mouth area.
    Looks black to me in the combined effect. That's not the
    same as seeing a living, moving person, you know. I never

    Your claim is nonsense because it presumes that "families"

    than an "American family".

    Yet people often guess at least PART of what someone is
    pretty much on target based on subtle behaviors,
    expressions, ways of expressing, etc. People from the
    midwest (used to seeing only whitebreads?) tend to not be

    these ethnics in America are pretty damned good at sussing
    this out. I told you - it's intuitive. My claim is not

    Alice were wasps. I knew Leo was Italian. I knew that
    Heinrich was Jewish (despite the very German name). I knew
    that one Rebecca I know was German and I knew her husband

    Nonsense? LMAO. It's not nonsense when it's on target 90% of
    the time, Bob. The ONLY Americans that knew I was Tatar were
    TURKISH and a few RUSSIANS. Sure - but the way they said it
    - to paraphrase - "If I were back home, I'd think you were a

    My kids don't look especially Russian in appearance.

    Then they are adopted. I have a question - and it's

    At the time, it was *much* faster adopting from Russia

    their 40s. My best friend did adopt two mixed race
    infants, but they took much longer than we were willing to

    In addition, we didn't want an infant due to our age, and

    in the paper on the special needs kids that were typically
    available fit our interests. It took less than 2 days for
    the agency (the one on the web page above) to identify
    kids for us once we completed the home-study, and I flew
    to Russia 6 weeks later (my wife had surgery and could not

    experts not on the Berkeley faculty. Indeed, the closer
    one gets to expert opinion in the relevant disciplines of
    psychometrics and behavior genetics, the greater the
    support for Jensen and his work; and each year, that
    support increases. Of his more than 400 publications, none
    has been in fringe journals, and the overwhelming majority
    have been in the most prestigious peer - reviewed journals
    in the relevant fields - journals such as Intelligence,
    Behavior Genetics, Personality and Individual Differences,
    The Psychological Bulletin, and Behavioral and Brain Sciences-
    and in such authoritative works as The Encyclopedia of
    Psychology and The Encyclopedia of Intelligence, where
    articles are by the editor's invitation. In 1970 Jensen
    was a founding member of the Behavior Genetics
    Association. He has served as a consulting editor to both
    Intelligence and Behavior Genetics, and published articles
    in their first issues. Jensen is often asked to serve as a
    peer reviewer by these and by many other academic journals
    because their chief editors recognize the fairness and
    thoroughness with which he treats every article sent to
    him, regardless of whether or not it agrees with his own
    position. END QUOTE "Intelligence, Race, and Genetics:
    Conversations with Arthur R. Jensen" Frank Miele (Senior
    Editor of "Skeptic" magazine), Arthur Robert Jensen

    Note to P.Comm: if you have not read this book, I would
    recommend that you do, since it is good introduction to
    AJ, both as a thinker and as a man. I would recommend it
    to BLC also, but his mind is obviously made up.

    Hi to you too 🙂 - uh, when it comes to this topic, I'd say
    his "mind" is made up. No - more like his HEART is made up.
    Here is some info (If I have some time, I can read the rest
    - I'm waiting for spackle to dry)...

    OK - here goes the info: There are probably 1 or 2, possibly
    3 genes involved in the "whole appearance" that we all,
    (black eyesight or anyone else's) eye-ball tend to recognize
    and CALL "That's BLACK" and/or "that's NOT black." This is
    supposing that the "wild type" is an African type like the
    ones we see today (ignore the similarities of a few
    immunological markers, eg, that favorite Xhoisan/Swede
    thingy). EG, no matter what - IF the jaw muscles change, the
    cranium changes and then the brain changes which equals
    BEHAVIORAL change, including the way people talk. Blacks
    have heavier jaw muscles, they also have the least
    musculature in the face, around the mouth, eyes, etc. - the
    type that allows for very subtle expressions (Asians have
    the most of those). Now, with ANY animals they can identify
    CLADES, LINEAGES and compare them and look at the genes and
    at the animals. They LOOK different, BEHAVE different - are
    different clades and differnt lineages., They can tell "this
    clade ALL has THIS gene." "This other clade all DOES NOT
    have THIS gene." Very specific and precise. They can then
    DELETE that gene in the clade that has it and the ENTIRE
    LOOK changes and looks like the other clade lineage,
    behavior changes, etc. the whole works. You can NOT do this
    kind of thing with humans - it's expreiments. Genes drop out
    or cross over. If they could inject a eg - hypothetical -
    WHITE lineage embryo with a protein produced by one of the
    genes, you MIGHT get a CASCADE EFFECT IN DEVELOPMENT
    producing a black-looking baby in all ways, jaw, features,
    bones, etc. This is HOW IT WORKS with animals. Might involve
    ONE gene! We are not allowed to test this on humans. There
    are only 30 thousand genes in human beings. If there were a
    trillion genes, which they used to think, then you could say
    there must be millions of genes different in the races and
    you could never develop one race INTO the other. But there
    are only 30,000 genes. It is HIGHLY possible that genes
    dropped out - and the dropping out of even only ONE gene -
    procudes an entire cascade effect - and you end up with a
    person that NO LONGER looks black in ANY way - who has NONE
    of the particular things blacks do have.

    That came from a genetics professor back where I used to
    work, though I asked what things meant and am paraphrasing
    it making it very simple - and you got it - NO WAY do I have
    permission to name him (god DAMMIT).

    I get on your case for assuming that a random person who
    looks like a member of a particular race will abide by
    what your perceive as the behavioral norms of that race.

    Clear out your ears. I said BLACKS call it ACTING BLACK -
    producers of movies make movies - black producers, black
    actors for a black audience (like Barber Shop I and II) -
    and that is how they all ACT in those movies. There must
    surely be a REASON the producers and directors do this when
    they make these movies. What is the reason they do this:
    ANSWER THAT, BOG. I do NOT assume a thing - and that's what
    YOU ARE NOT GRASPING. I simply told you direct anecdote
    about what Thug Black and other blacks thought of Anal-Black
    on a PT job. Is it racist of me to call that one guy an anal
    retentive FOP? If ANYONE behaved that way, I and everyone
    else would call him that. The one Super was a THUG on that
    job - and everyone - knew it, said it - he LOST the job. So,
    giving the anecdote is racist? If so, then YOU are Stalinist
    tyrant (not a Hitlerist tyrant) - two sides of the SAME
    COIN, Bob. GET THE HELL OFF THE COIN where I am! Try it. .
    It was HE and the other blacks that got all over Anal Black
    for not ACTING BLACK - and that was what THEY CALLED IT. OH,
    POINDEXTER - that's what they called the one other black - a
    girl. She had no friends! NONE. She was SMART - very polite,
    worse glasses (so do I, I HATE contacts). No one ever called
    me anything like that on any job. Bob - I got news for you -
    I never met any kind of black in my life that thought I was
    a racist - and they INTUITIVELY suss that [censored] out and
    openly say so. Yet they said that Ralph was a racist and he
    used to spew the same line of utter rubbish YOU spew - and
    with a vengeance he spewed it. It's in the small stuff. Say,
    like I'm in a SUPER good mood and all excited about a movie
    - black employee happens to be standing there and my mode of
    body language, face, I'm very tactile - that sort of thing -
    they KNOW I do not hate them. That's THEIR bottom line, Bob.
    I doubt you ever lived for years in a 90% black neighborhood
    (yes it was VERY dangerous and bad there). Well, heh, I did
    - been there, done that and would NEVER wish or choose to do
    that again. I can't help but notice that they are the ONLY
    PEOPLE - the ONLY ones - when they take over a neighborhood
    - it just turns dangerous and turns to [censored] and they are
    EXTREMELY HOSTILE. I've HAD convos with BLACKS about that -
    as I said before - why not go ASK your black friend (I think
    I told Berlinger to do that). I have. I'm very VERY blunt
    and open, Bob. YOU? You are heh heh - a pretentious FOP a
    lot of the time. And you are STALIN in the flesh without the
    power. You remind me of the KGB - branding someone "enemy of
    the people" and the person did NOTHING - oh, he may have

    Automobile insurance companies attribute the bad driving

    even if humans were penned up like breeding livestock,
    they COULDN'T be bred like that because it takes too long.
    Breeding takes many generations and no one can stay alive
    long enough to supervise enough generations to make a
    difference. I know what is possible if you can control
    breeding. Human breeding cannot be controlled.

    If you read something of value, instead of Stalin novels,
    Bob, you might learn something useful. The Bell Curve has a
    nice discussion about assortive mating and cognitive
    stratification which is the free-society human equivalent
    of selective breeding in lower animals. Ivy League students
    mate with each other: Bill & Hillary, etc. Similarly, IQ-75

    So will the kid of Italian and Jewish ancestry act like

    Depends on how the parents act - how his peers in the
    community act.

    In other words, you can't tell, contrary to your earlier
    claims. You said that someone with Italian ancestry would
    act like the Sopranos. You did NOT say that they would act
    like the Sopranos ONLY if their parents acted like the
    Sopranos.

    No, it's hard to explain intuitive stuff. Sandy doesn't act
    like the Sopranos - but she acts ITALIAN. It's very subtle.
    Heinrich doesn't act like the Nanny - but he acts JEWISH -
    again, it's very subtle. I used Sopranos and Nanny - anyone
    with savvy would grasp that these are obviously EXAGERRATED
    behaviors being shown - at least on the Nanny they are. I
    also used BARBAR SHOP for you to go see - shows produced and
    directed by blacks, starring almost all blacks, and made FOR
    a black audience. Perhaps that is what they MEAN when they
    quibble about "black identity?" Who knows. But that's the
    standard - what they show on their own produced movies. Then
    again, I've heard it from MANY Jews that "when you adopt a
    baby and the baby is not Jewish - it always ends up wrong."
    I asked if they got these babies when they were just born or
    what? They said yes. Many many people share these views,
    Bob. Many intelligent people share them.

    Why do you presume that Jews in this country all adopt

    Yes - it sure is. But if Fran had the actors all acting
    like stereotypical Germans - but doing/saying the same
    things - Jews would NOT relate to it. Heh. To say the

    By meaning 2, if you have prejudice against someone
    because of their race, you are a racist. You have

    in how you exercise your "freedom of choice".

    No I have not. I have not "indicated" anything except the
    FACT that I never see blacks in any of the places I tend to
    go to. I have "indicated" that I don't know or care where
    they do go - or even IF they do go (I assume people like to
    party, drink, eat, dance, etc. - perhaps I'm wrong). Let me
    further inform you that I never see people hip club aged,
    like 18-20s in any of the clubs I go to (heh), no matter if
    they are country western music lovers or anything else. They
    are NEVER there. I never or very very rarely see black
    people on the very public beach I go to. Keep in mind that
    in one club I go to, social members can simply WALK IN and
    pay to get in - they pay more for food and drinks, is all.
    That did not used to be the case - it used to be paid
    members ONLY due to liquor laws - not due to any OTHER laws.
    Used to be that they could NOT charge what they charge if it
    was open to the public - OR have a smoking area! Now they
    CAN. But that might change - certainly NOT due to some
    rubbish about what ethnic group a person is. They might have
    to restrict it again to ONLY members and guests would have
    to come with members - members would have to get up and get
    drinks or food for them. BY LAW. I have "INDICATED" that I
    do NOT venture into well-known dangerous areas of any kind -
    down here these areas are in fact BLACK - not Mexican or
    Hispanic or anythning else. I have "indicated" that blacks
    that live in same town as I live ALSO do not venture there.
    I'm tricky, Bob. I know that. I'm trying to suss YOU out -
    and figure out exactly what it is that MAKES the "HEART" of
    an abusive tyrant. You are one - and you have no idea you
    are one. You really fancy that you are way above all that,
    you think you are NOT rude, crude (hiding behind polite,
    restrictive etiquette) and downright abusive - more abusive
    than makemyday ever was, who at least is obviously
    attempting to be FUNNY with those "z" letters.

    I have also indicated that a great many people (including
    blacks, usually older from what I see) exercise their
    FREEDOM OF CHOICE and they DO the same things I do about
    avoiding certain areas. They also go to clubs (I'm assuming,
    I have no idea if they do - I do not know or care what they
    do - why SHOULD I? I'm not INTRUSIVE) - or go to churches or
    whatever (I do not go to any church). I indicated to you
    that 3 Buddhist temples built by my community back in NJ
    never kept anyone out - and that I never once saw a black
    person in there. These are true statements. NONE of these
    statements are cause for YOU abusing the word racist and
    branding me with it. This is what YOU need to clearly see.
    Unclench your heart, Bob. LET GO. Stop LOOKING for little
    nuances here and there which give you an "opening" to assume
    the worst. Toto did that, imagining I "steal music" and got
    her head handed to her. This IS what you are DOing, Bob. And
    I'm playing you like a violin with it to try to understand
    the mind of people that "did everything they could" to FORCE
    races together - "if they had gone further, there'd have
    really been a revolution here." I.e., if they had relocated
    people against their will for purposes of forced
    integration. I heard it with my own ears from people that
    were deeply involved with doing such things. WHAT KIND of
    people are these that would DO that? . Do they NOT realize
    that they'd have to strap the women down and force breed
    them with different races to REALLY achieve this lunacy?
    Then, to make it work, they'd have to murder the parents so
    that NONE of the past would be known. They'd have to BREED
    PEOPLE to really achieve it. Do they realize it? Do they
    even KNOW that this IS what they are secretly festering in

    the reality of their own hearts SLAMS them in their faces.

    I get on your case for assuming that a random person
    who looks like a member of a particular race will abide
    by what your perceive as the behavioral norms of that
    race.

    Clear out your ears. I said BLACKS call it ACTING BLACK -
    producers of movies make movies - black producers, black
    actors for a black audience (like Barber Shop I and II) -
    and that is how they all ACT in those


    movies.

    The defined types differ in different parts of the
    world. In some other countries, African ancestry would
    not be a particular important grouping.

    It's not a particularly important grouping here either -
    I believe I said that ages ago? It's simply a GROUPING.
    It's a social problem in the USA for [censored]'s sakes (DUH to
    the nth man).

    Since it is a social problem, obviously it IS a
    particularly important grouping here.

    OH, you do that so much. Then it becomes a "REAL" grouping,
    as Kurtz tried to explain. Or is he branded with the misuse
    of word "racist" too, now? I feel that if said social
    problem is simply IGNORED - it would simply go away. Like so
    much styles of clothing or music that come and go.

    If it were not, we could solve the social problem by

    Well, this IS usenet. In real life - the people I tend to
    run into all the time don't use groupings, don't think about
    groupings for the most part - BUT awhile back the worst
    conflict of groups was over those that wanted at least half
    the time country music (they could go to the club down the
    street for that kind of music....) - versus those that said
    this is an ETHNIC club and wanted the ethnic music (which I
    personally prefer), which you can NOT just go down the
    street to hear at all! That's about the worst GROUPING
    thingy I ran into lately. Oh, yeah, there are the beach
    regulars - that's a grouping. And there are the seasonal
    regulars - another grouping. Those are groupings I deal with
    FOR REAL - in my real life. So you see, this social problem
    or whatever else we are discussing on USENET (which I regard
    as a GROUP of free for all anything goes types) - is
    something that DOES NOT affect me at all in my real life.

    Race is socially constructed, thus there are those who
    believe that a child who would be identified as black by
    the color of his skin and the shape of his features needs
    to have contact with others for whom this is also an
    identity.

    That, in itself, is racist, Toto, Bob. Your identity is YOU
    - YOU are Toto - a unique, indivual, one-of-a-kind
    occurrence in the universe. You are not your mother or
    father, you are not your brother or sister. You are TOTO.
    That IS your identify. That identity comes first BEFORE
    "Toto is a woman" or "Toto is in her 50s" and etc. Get what
    I mean? The "I" is the "I". That's the SELF - the CORE of
    your being. And it doesn't matter what others SEE YOU as,
    eg, "Toto is a person who dresses conservatively" or etc.
    All of that is superficial. "Black identity" has no meaning
    at all. None. Shall the black identify with Captain Sisko on
    Star Trek DS9? Or with Jordy? Or with Snoop Dog? Shall that
    black person "identify" with classical music? Country and

    I don't agree that bi-racial adoption is a bad thing, but
    this was the theory and still is. Most agencies will not

    adopted his children. In the 1960s, the racial barriers
    were being broken and white families were adopting black
    children.

    In 1972, the National Association of Black Social Workers
    took a vehement stand against the placement of black
    children in white homes. I don't believe that these people
    are correct in their position, but it is their position
    which has become part of the adoption culture.

    Well, do you know what they said about why they took that
    stand? I remember hearing some of it. It's more of what the
    blacks said on that show - more of what everyone seems to

    Well, then there is THIS: OK - here goes the info: There are
    probably 1 or 2, possibly 3 genes involved in the "whole
    appearance" that we all, (black eyesight or anyone else's)
    eye-ball tend to recognize and CALL "That's BLACK" and/or
    "that's NOT black." This is supposing that the "wild type"
    is an African type like the ones we see today (ignore the
    similarities of a few immunological markers, eg, that
    favorite Xhoisan/Swede thingy). EG, no matter what - IF the
    jaw muscles change, the cranium changes and then the brain
    changes which equals BEHAVIORAL change, including the way
    people talk. Blacks have heavier jaw muscles, they also have
    the least musculature in the face, around the mouth, eyes,
    etc. - the type that allows for very subtle expressions
    (Asians have the most of those). Now, with ANY animals they
    can identify CLADES, LINEAGES and compare them and look at
    the genes and at the animals. They LOOK different, BEHAVE
    different - are different clades and differnt lineages.,
    They can tell "this clade ALL has THIS gene." "This other
    clade all DOES NOT have THIS gene." Very specific and
    precise. They can then DELETE that gene in the clade that
    has it and the ENTIRE LOOK changes and looks like the other
    clade lineage, behavior changes, etc. the whole works. You
    can NOT do this kind of thing with humans - it's
    expreiments. Genes drop out or cross over. If they could
    inject a eg - hypothetical - WHITE lineage embryo with a
    protein produced by one of the genes, you MIGHT get a
    CASCADE EFFECT IN DEVELOPMENT producing a black-looking baby
    in all ways, jaw, features, bones, etc. This is HOW IT WORKS
    with animals. Might involve ONE gene! We are not allowed to
    test this on humans. There are only 30 thousand genes in
    human beings. If there were a trillion genes, which they
    used to think, then you could say there must be millions of
    genes different in the races and you could never develop one
    race INTO the other. But there are only 30,000 genes. It is
    HIGHLY possible that genes dropped out - and the dropping
    out of even only ONE gene - procudes an entire cascade
    effect - and you end up with a person that NO LONGER looks
    black in ANY way - who has NONE of the particular things
    blacks do have.

    group statz. You don't have the resources to check them
    all out...

    ... in many places anyone that wants to adopt ANY baby is
    welcome to adopt one. The fact is, you can find people
    spending thousands of bucks adopting dogs or cats - rather
    than adopt a baby classed as "unwanted" - such as the
    defective, handicapped, etc. and black babies! I swear. I
    heard it with own ears from adoption places.

    You don't have to worry about your IQ-75 Black Dog
    doing poorly in school and not being able to support
    itself as an adult.

    Your black dog won't play rap music all day on a boom box
    and speak ebonicz.

    Your dog won't burgle the neighbors, steal cars, buy/sell
    drugz and rob 7-11s when it'z a teenager.

    Your Black Dog won't steal your valuables and call you a
    M'Fkr.

    If your black dog engages in TDB, you can swat it with a
    newspaper and not have to worry about Dog Protective
    Services coming to take away your dog and have you
    arrested...

    When you get tired of a dog/cat, you can just dump it off at
    the shelter to be euthanized. Ditto for the IQ-75 Dogletz if
    your Black Dog breedz OOW...

    You won't have to visit your black dog every month in
    prizon...

    You prejudge individuals based on the race you
    perceive them to be. That is racism.

    It is difficult to NOT be a racist in this society,
    with people yammering about race-based statistical
    differences. But if you judge a person based on those
    statistics, that is racist.

    But I usually don't call a person racist because they
    do that, because it cheapens the word. Rather, I use
    it only for people who do that and think it isn't a
    bad thing.

    Automobile insurance companies attribute the bad driving
    statistics, of the under-age-25 group, to the ENTIRE
    group, regardless of how well some of them actually
    drive. Ins co's don't have the resources to check them
    all out individually. These companies are NOT stupid.
    It's simply common sense good business practice.

    Oh hell yes they sure do - and it's age discrimination.
    They do NOT up the rates on the Very Old who can hardly
    see - they do not up the rates on middle aged housewives
    who MIGHT be on valium or something - and so forth. They
    do NOT up the rates on people who wear glasses (lemme shut
    while I'm ahead.....) Where is the public hue and cry?
    There isn't any.

    The insurance companies are just going by the stats.
    Housewives on valium apparently aren't affecting stats for
    that age group enuff to raise the rates. Ditto for geezers.
    Enuff old folks realize their vision, reactions and
    concentration are not as good as when they were younger, and
    adjust their driving accordingly: e.g., less aggressive,
    more following distance, speed reduction, don't drive at
    night, etc...
