    Blacks have had a "level playing field" in the United States since 1965, plus, 'preferences' in everything from college admissions to special recruiting and hiring 'quotas', to government contracts which are exclusively "set-aside" for minorities. And they still can't compete...? :confusion:

    But now you've embraced genetics instead of rejecting it as you had done previously...? :icon_jawdrop: Good!

    Now, maybe we're starting to get somewhere.... Meanwhile, I've got a couple of books you may (or may NOT) want to peruse. :cynic:

    1. "A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History", by Nicholas Wade.
    2. "Why Race Matters", by Michael Levin

    Be careful what you wish for! When "woke" meets wisdom the result can be tragic for the former.... :icon_shithitsthefan

    are you calling the early 17th century spanish historian and monk, Fray Prudencio de Sandoval a black supremacist?

    interesting. might have to look more into him since we are all lead to believe european historians were white. you could be onto something bigger here, like how whites whitewash the image of historic figures or populations.

    hello good friend.

    blacks have not and still do not have a level playing field since the media is dominated by whites as is the civil service and private corps and banks.

    good try at deception though.

    you could be right but fatback thinks he was a black man. he was spanish so fatback may have a point, heres the quote youre looking for;


    as in the Negroes [there persists] the inseparability of their blackness. For if the latter should unite themselves a thousand times with white women, the children are born with the dark color of the father.


    FRIAR PRUDENCIO DE SANDOVAL (Valladolid, 15r3 (1560?) - Estella, 1620 (1621?)

    Spanish historian and prelate. The chronicle started by Florián de Ocampo and Ambrosio de Morales continued, compiling a large number of documentary sources, without too much criticism. It uses a lot of data from Guevara and Mejía.

    From the Order of San Benito.

    Bishop of Tuy (1608), Pamplona (1612), Valladolid and Zamora.

    He was appointed to follow Morales' work as a chronicler.


    Its known as History of the five kings covers the period from Fernando I to Alfonso VII.
    Of the rest of his work, the History of the life and events of the Emperor Carlos V (1604-1606), very extensive and documented, the Chronicle of the illustrious Emperor of Spain Don Alonso VII (1600) and a history of the Benedictine order and of the city and bishopric of Tuy.

    They represent racism to the core. I don't approve of racism. I don't approve of them any more than I approve of the KKK.

    I think there is a potentially legitimate issue of unchecked police abuse underlying their claim; that said issue is not exclusive to black people; and incompetent and undisciplined leadership by and within BLM has resulted in an environment in which those legitimate police abuses will not be adequately addressed because of push back against BLM's horrendous handling of pretty much everything they touch.

    If the genes are there in both parents, it can happen.

    Do you think that a black person is killing another black person simply because of their color?

    BLM was necessary to address the bad apples in the police department.

    Not without the genes in both parents. People of all colors are the same. Everything works the same way for everybody.

    You repeated yourself and you are wrong. It is all about genes, not skin color.

    Youre confused. Im talking about skin colour which is what this topic is about. If you want to talk dna go to the science forum. Black folk can create white folk but the reverse is not possible..why is that?

    It isn't. Skin color is controlled by genes. Black people can have a white child only when both parents have a gene for white skin. White skin is a recessive gene and therefore a rarity for a black couple. White people can have a black child if both of them have a gene for black skin.

    Skin color doesn't define a human being. We are all of the same species. Genetic characteristics work the same way in all people regardless of skin color.
