Yeah, well how about most people haven't been "deprived of consciousness", so your "point" is irrelevant? And how about you're making the bunko assumption that having a personality depends on being conscious?
"Anyway there is an argument to say that differences in intelligence are only as relevant as differences in hair curliness. That is to say the purpose of evolution is to create a fit with the evolutionary environment."
Yes well that might be relevant if the coloureds had stayed in their own country, mightn't it? But, they made the choice to enter the fast-paced world of Civilised-society. Nobody forced them to come over here. And now look where we are: Coloured songs all over the radio like a sort of rash that you can't show the doctor because you're too embarrassed.
horus8,
My comments were regarding my beliefs on a certain kind mindset of a particular type of human, this type of human comes in all ethnicities, so....
Silly human.

I'm below common, I'm a cat.
I wish I was closer to common like you.

'If you attempt to argue that personality is a product of the soul, and not of the brain, then consider this: if you jab a pencil into someone's frontal lobes, their personality changes.'
Yet more science-trite. How about someone is deprived of consciousness and only understands at the information processing level. How then does his personality change by jabbing his frontal lobe. Surely it is only his behaviour than can be said to change.
Also why do you talk about soul and brain as though seperate entities?
'the fact is' makes you sound a dunce.
The bell curve controversy was such fun wasn't it. They found out black peoples IQ's were a standard deviation lower than white peoples IQ's. And also that when you put a rag over a mongoloid babie face he was calm, do the same to a negroid and he has a hissy fit.
Anyway there is an argument to say that differences in intelligence are only as relevant as differences in hair curliness. That is to say the purpose of evolution is to create a fit with the evolutionary environment.
I am afraid I don't have this thing you call common sense. I just have a dustbin full of a-levels. I wish I was common like you.
dear dark angel, p.i.,
Semantics is sort of the language equivalent of the "I'm not touching you."
You know the little brother that puts his finger right in your face, but doesn't touch you, but it's not about the touching it's about your intent.
It's like when you have a whole tirade on generalizing a particular group and you write 5000 words on it, but you preface it with "some"...as a sort "see I didn't mean all I meant some...Iâm not generalizingâ¦"
It's a sort safety, a cowardly out, a false claim that you didnât intend what you intended, even though you know and everyone else with common sense knows what you intended, but due to the rules of our language false people get to wiggle out of taking responsibility of their true intent, because of some grammatical rule like âsomeâ or using the term âniggerâ.

What do people mean when they say that something "is simply semantics"?
It is a fact that white people are more likely to get skin cancer than black people. It is also a fact that black people are more likely to suffer from sickle cell anaemia than white people. It is also a fact that that white people tend to have straighter hair than black people. In fact it is obvious that there are a large number of physical characteristics associated with a person's race. The brain is a part of the body, just as the skin, or the blood, or the hair is. Why should it be any different? The fact is that there is no reason to think characteristics such as personality and intelligence aren't also influenced by race. Of course such characteristics are partly a product of an individual's environment, but there is no doubt that different brains would deal with the same environment in different ways. If you attempt to argue that personality is a product of the soul, and not of the brain, then consider this: if you jab a pencil into someone's frontal lobes, their personality changes.
When it comes to racism, most people think it's wrong to generalise on the basis of race. They say things like "What you think has nothing to do with the colour of your skin". But that is the King of Generalisations. Is there any justification for it? It is perfectly conceivable that there could exist a race of people that were all evil and stupid. In conclusion, discriminating on the basis of race is only a stupid thing to do if your grounds for discrimination are unjustified. Thanks for listening.
jroday,
while i understand what you are saying i don't agree (maybe I just don't agree with the whole theory, the whole chris rock think I don't agree). i don't believe in the two kinds of black people (or two kinds of any people) theory.
it to me is semantics, a person who uses the term "nigger" or even "nigga" white, black or whatever, has a warped view.
the black person who uses it feel that there is a certain behavior that will make the âmainstreamâ accept them, not understanding that person that thinks there are âtwo types of black peopleâ aren't open and will never accept them or anyone else, itâs ignorant, uneducated, a power trip, but those people are few and far between.
a white person who feels that there are two kinds of black people feels that most black people are âniggersâ and the good ones they are black, they will even test black people to see if they are the black or âniggersâ, you donât test people you view as a peer or an equal, at least not in social situations.
it's sort of like being Jewish and trying not to "act" Jewish so that mainstream America will accept you, people that will have a problem with you because of a stereotype are never going to like you anyway, during WW2 NAZI's didn't gas just the "bad" Jews, the rounded up even the people who didnât go to temple.
the "nigger", "nigga", "two types of black people" thing is simply semantics and someone trying to be clever, all people who use and believe in any of those three theories are pretty much in the same boat in my world.
they always try to dance around and explain, but their are closed minded, unselfrealized people that need help.
there are never just two types of any "group" there are a many types in groups as there are people...

dear unpc friends of the rainbow that is earth,
The internet is a wonderful tool, how happy you must be to not be tied to the constraints of society.
The thing I fine most fascinating about people who hate PC is that they feel like somehow the dreaded âPCâ has some how shackled them and held them back in their lives because they werenât able to use anti-Semitic, racist, sexist, and homophobic slurs daily without people thinking they were jerks, so they had to completely bottle that frustration deep inside.
I completely feel for those individuals that were trapped during the height of PC, because I know that the reason you live on the couch in your mother's den. It is because from 1990 (the beginning of PC) until 2000, you weren't allowed to use a racial slur and that's why you have to live in a neighborhood where people own ten thousand dollar cars.
My heart goes out to you, I know those ten years were tough, maybe you should contact a lawyer and maybe you can file some of "couldn't be self realized, because I could use an offensive term when that offending ethnic group/gender/religion stole my job/spot in the college I really, really, wanted to go to/my girlfriend, I couldn't even use anti-Semitisms to complain about my lack of balance in my bank account, woe is me." Maybe you can file that around the time you file a suit against McDonalds for your Atkins diet making you 300 pounds and giving you heart diseaseâ¦

Yes cat there is a different between black people and niggers.
webster dictionary 1962 edition said that a nigger was a black man from africa, I was born in the U.S.A.(smile). now in today's
edition it says that a nigger is a nasty person with an atitude, so that could be anyone.(you wont find nigger in all webster's
dictionarys, but if you research enough you'll fine it.)no iam not asking people to look at whites as individuals and assume black people think a certain way.everyone one is his or her own individual, and everyone think a certain way. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin.you must have misunderstood me when i said, the question is not always where we stand, but in which direction we are headed.what i meant by that is human beings
by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. if you can change your inner attitude you should be able to cope with anything.

Blow me.
Good last lines.
Beautiful poem. A few spelling mistakes but good work.
-Megan-
niggers believe in spending an enormous amount of money on useless shit, like for instance a 15,000 dollar muffler, on a 10, 000 dollar car, or a 400 dollar pair of shoes on a bad pedicure.. Also, I feel that niggers, somehow feel that if they are wearing a sport's jersey of some kind it makes them feel BETTER about they're invovment with the over paid essence of sports in America.
Yes, and I believe that we should begin with exposing the fact that Jeremi isn't black, and he is a racist. here, here.
