    So, you think there are dozens of alien races on Earth, and that they mind control politicians, etc, etc,etc,etc.

    You must be an alien, too.

    Sigh.

    The Bell Curve was crap. The journals had a lot of fun ripping it to shreds.

    We are a single species. Minor variations, like pigment, don't matter. You find more variation inside a subgroup, than outside it.

    With Normal Distribution, you find a genius, and you can conclude you have a normal curve.

    There are a ton of environmental factors, like lead, that can harm development. You don't need more than that.

    It is kinda amazing we can be in a historic resurgence of racism, and you're all Queen of Da Nile.

    no, I think Trump only loves himself and those that praise him while they are praising him

    but I do think he wants the racists to vote for him

    You reject an entire 436-page book focused on relentless scientific research, written by a Columbia University graduate, a Ph.D-holding professor at City University of New York, merely because you disagree with the personal philosophy of a different person, who wrote the "Forward" to the book...? :icon_jawdrop: Think: Dr. Levin's book is not about being white, or a 'nationalist' -- rather, it is an exhaustive look at the human races, their genetic construction, their proclivities, their characteristic attributes, characteristic detriments, etc.

    Obviously, any approach in analyzing the contents of an entire book and mine differ considerably if some other reader halts at the "Forward" because he disagrees with the person who wrote it.... :graduate:

    Indeed, shunning a book for any reason brings to mind Thomas Gray's poem “Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College” and his famous quote: “Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.” Or, to use contemporary American argot -- CENSORSHIP SUCKS!

    Don’t think he is a racist per se, but he is an opportunist. His rhetoric is designed to play to the reactionary base of myrmidons.

    If that were true, why would he run for president? He already had an enormous amount of money and most likely a perfectly pleasant life. Some folks on this forum seem to be quite taken with the idea that Trump is doing this for the money. Which makes me giggle. In the first place, I'm betting he has lost money on this foray, not made it. They seem to think that Trump needs the $400,000 or whatever the presidency pays. I think I heard that he donates it. That much money is like the change I have in my purse to the Trump family. I mean if you want to dally in class warfare, ok, but the idea that Trump wanted to be president to make money is hysterical.

    A while back, someone was saying that he is taking advantage of us taxpayers by using the secret service to protect his wife in NYC. Which would save him chump change. Besides, there is no doubt in my mind that the Trumps have their own security people and do not rely on anything government to protect them.

    Yes, Trump is a racist. He appeals to the xenophobia and ignorance of his base, and he knows just what to say to them. It is tragic because he is in a position of great influence and many people trust him.

    What hole have you been living in?

    His company was sued by the DOJ for racial discrimination at start of his career and it doesn’t get better from there: forty-odd years of bigotry.

    :lol:

    Racism:
    The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

    Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.

    You cannot cite and quote a statement by Trump that falls under this definition.

    ... which is is no way necessarily motivated by, and thus, not necessarily equivalent to, racism.

    He was the major Birther

    He's still not repudiated his call to kill the Jogger gang bangers, even after DNA evidence exonerated them

    Certainly and no question. It's part of his overall character and was instilled in him by his father.

    It isn't his main motivation as President though. That is pure megalomania

    How do you not know that neither of these things, even if true, are examples of racism?

    Trump's words reveal his racism:
    1) He called those African-American football players "sons-of-bitches" when they keeled during the National Anthem.
    2) He called Omarosa a "dog".

    3) He called Rep. Maxine Waters " low IQ". This is an insult racists like to use against African-Americans.
    4) He never apologized to the Central Park 5 after it was revealed they were innocent of raping that jogger. They spent many years in prison for that crime and Trump at first wanted them to receive the death penalty.
    There are many other things that show Trump's racism. This is all I can think of right now.

    Your definition means NOTHING. What I cited proves Trump's racism.

    Racism has a specific definition - the one I provided.
    You only take issue with the definition because you know you cannot provide an example of Trump saying anything racist.
    And thus, your "citations" - which were neither direct quotes, nor contained any attribution - do not, in any way, prove your claim.
