    Maybe, if you don't know the meanings of human(e) and superficial. There is nothing more existential and intrinsic about mankind than the qualities that we all share by virtue of our membership in the human race. In comparison, skin color is a shallow, external feature. In other words, it's a superficial physical attribute.

    But most black people are not involved. And people of other "races" commit the same acts. It's not a black, or white, or purple thing. So, the only just thing to do is evaluate people as individuals. Otherwise, you give credit to people who haven't earned it and impugn people who don't deserve it.

    People are only responsible for their own actions. They are not to be condemned or exonerated based on the guilt or innocence of others because they have similar skin tone.

    It is of course not just skin color, but intelligence, creativity, industry, etc. These all differ across races.

    I am not condemning or exonerating anyone. I just don't want them in the same schools as my children.

    Why don't you take a walk in Detroit and see how far you get relying on your common humanity? I think you will understand my position.

    You don't want black kids in schools with your children? I grew up in Detroit and went to elementary, middle and high school there. I remember white students in my high school but it was a majority black school and a magnet school, with an excellent reputation.

    I plan to go to Detroit in July. I still have relatives there. I have a niece and nephew who are still in high school, who live in Detroit. Great kids ...

    People of all races display these qualities.

    Suicides are going up among whites ages 45 to 54 probably because this generation idolised metal bands and their destructive lifestyle in their teenage years. They mostly die from drug overdosing and alcoholism like their idols and their bad habits may have taken a horrendous toll as they reach old age.

    We also need to take a new look at money itself......
    who is creating it and why.....
    and if there are better alternatives.


    Could a real estate boom plus better Fed policy pay off USA national debt?

    No, since albino blacks will probably have the same homicide rate as non-albino blacks as genetically they are almost identical.

    I think low IQ and impulse control - mediated in small part through smaller brain volume - affects black homicide rates which follow blacks around the world.

    Why do you suppose no normally distributed black population in the world has an average IQ greater than 100?

    Um... what? Albino black people are considered black because of their culture.

    I think culture plays a much bigger role in it than this nonsense.

    Where is race ever classified based on culture?

    If you think culture plays a bigger role than racial realities such as Brain volume differences then why not accompany your belief with examples/evidence?

    Didn't say it was.

    No, I think culture plays a bigger role than superficial differences.
    Why?

    I've been thinking as I've read through this.

    Regardless of skin pigmentation, if people are dying due to "Despair", isn't that simply Natural Selection?
