Deegan said:I would be interested in some examples of how the races are unequal, just saying so does not make it so, so please, enlighten me.
I understand that some races seem more designed for the environment in which they are born, and this may lead one to believe they may be better at certain things, or hold an advantage. I just don't believe that one race has an advantage over another, but there is something to be said about a pure race. I have noticed that pure unmixed races seem to be more intelligent, or more apt to learning. I have noticed this in Asians, Indians(M.E) and others, but I was never sure my assumptions were correct.
nkgupta80 said:of course, but race doesn't play a part in it.
Aryan Imperium said:Why shouldn`t it?
If you accept the notion that abilities and defects can and are inherited through a family line then why is this not true of a race that shares a common ancestry?
Aryan Imperium said:Do you subscribe to the view that individuals are of varying merits with different abilities and handicaps and that this is to a large extent inherited?
nkgupta80 said:very true, most drastic differences in intellect you see in an average human are almost always attributed to culture and family.
but the minor differences in intellect can be attributed to genetics.
Deegan said:I do and I don't. I have seen some people in the same family that have trouble with certain things, while another seems to be very gifted. I don't know how I would explain that, but it is certainly a fact I have witnessed on more then one occasion. I also don't think that this is something that I would consider too carefully when considering a mate. What I mean is, I don't ask someone I am attracted to, to submit to an intelligence test before I would consider having a child with them. I also would not use race a measure to determine my feelings for another, only if they are compatible with me, and a strong bond was present. I can understand someone who may feel those things are most important, I guess that's just not my way of choosing my relationships.
I would just think that one is limiting ones self if he/she has to always consider these things before taking the next step. I also don't think perfection is something anyone of us can obtain, and that would be a great disappointment to anyone who tried.
nkgupta80 said:because such differences in intellect or mental capability has neevr been detected. And when it is detected, it is easily attributed to genetics that transcends race. Why is it deemed to transcend race? Because such genetic differences are found in all races. Secondly, culture and how you raise the kids plays a much much greater part in one's capabilities than genetics. The only difference I've ever felt when I am with my asian or white friends is that I don't get sunburn as often...
Hahahaha that is a perfect example of how culture plays a role. Where I live in Texas there is a large asian/indian population (still the minority... i think we make up 5% or something of the populatino in this area). We practically dominate all academic competitions (esp in math and science). Almost all asians in our school district are in the top 10% and about 50% of the top 20 are always asian/indian. 2 of the three valedictorians in my town this year were asian. Are you attributing this to genetic superiority? No it is culture. The average americans don't place as much stress on school as do asians. In Europe, there may not be that academic culture inherent in the Asian populations. I saw that when I visited one of my family friends in germany (he is indian). His parents didn't place much stress on his education so he does average in school.Asians fare far worse academically in comparison?
galenrox said:I don't particularly agree with that. Intelligence, by the definition of being able to comprehend and apply new concepts, is to a large degree associated with development, not with genetics. The reason dumb asses breed dumb asses is because they raise them like dumb asses.
And saying anything to apply to all of a race is just absolutely retarded. I know dumb **** white dudes and brilliant black dudes, and vice versa, so yeah, your entire ethos is just absolutely proposterous.

The White race has crossed seas, harnessed rivers, carved mountains, tamed deserts, and colonized the most barren icefields. It has been responsible for the invention of the printing press, cement, the harnessing of electricity, flight, rocketry, astronomy, the telescope, space travel, firearms, the transistor, radio, television, the telephone, the lightbulb, photography, motion pictures, the phonograph, the electric battery, the automobile, the steam engine, railroad transportation, the microscope, computers, and millions of other technological miracles. It has discovered countless medical advances, incredible applications, scientific progress, etc. Its members have included such greats as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Tacitus, Julius Ceaser, Napoleon, William the Conqueror, Marco Polo, Washington, Jefferson, Hitler, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Magellan, Columbus, Cabot, Edison, GrahamBell, Pasteur, Leeuwenhoek, Mendel, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Watt, Ford, Luther, Devinci, Poe, Tennyson, and thousands upon thousands of other notable achievers.

Is it not also strange that the Nordic female is and always has been the measure of beauty amongst females all over the world?
I was referring to negroes

nkgupta80 said:yea... a misunderstanding... but again you can attribute it to culture, so my example still applies. My brother's best friend is black. He is currently being home-schooled because he is going through intense tennis training. This kid is one of the smartest 6th graders I've ever met. His parents emphasize hard work and education at home, and you can tell right away when you meet this kid.

Within a race and people there will be a wide range of IQ difference and I dare say that there will be negroes who will exceed whites in terms of academic ability or latent intelligence but not in general and it is in the general and not particular sense that we are talking.
