    Only right wing bigots could make a six page issue of who their children are attracted to.

    Not all right-wingers are bigots but for certain all BIGOTS are right-wingers.

    I would hope so, NY has 20 million people compared to Mississippi's 3 million. That doesn't negate the fact that more "people of colour" ("colour"? Are you British?) live below the Mason/Dixon line than live above it.
    I didn't say anything about you being racist. I said that your comments were bigoted. So much for that superior education that you were bragging about earlier. I would wager that you still don't understand the distinction.

    Ahh, that explains it...You're simply regurgitating what you've seen in 60 year old documentaries and have no idea what life is really like in the southern US today. That still doesn't excuse your ignorant and bigoted comments though.

    Stop being so insular and get out and explore the world before spreading slanderous lies.

    Sure, Yukon, and not all liars are liberals but all liberals are liars, right? You do realize what you said makes no sense. Bigotry is not pretty, Yukon.

    I nominate this for ironic post of the century. A Canuck claiming to "spell correctly" while misspelling the word Canadian.

    LOL! You can't make this stuff up.

    A firm stoning should do the trick.

    After all, we all live in civilized, open societies do we not?

    More than a decade ago the scientific community came to the conclusion that the IQ test was not an accurate determiner of intelligence, yet to this day people still throw it around. I'm not trying to defend the racist, just simply pointing that out. I see racists using it against black people just as you have against racists. When a updated list of logical fallacies is wrote the IQ fallacy needs to be on it.

    I'm worried. My younger son is banging this white girl. What should I do? She's a Phi Beta Kappa, and her parents are rich. But she's White. I'm worried about her inferior genes. I'm at a complete loss for words. Can you help me with some advice?

    That's a tough one. Fortunately, my daughter isn't old enough to be dating yet. I face an odd quandary when she does though. Somehow I have to find a half Italian, half Native American boy to prevent her from dating outside of her race. :-/

    I disagree that poverty is the main reason for high crime rates. It certainly plays a part, but as I've said before, if poverty is the main factor, then why isn't most of Asia exploding in violence the way there is so much violence in Africa and practically every black nation elsewhere?

    I think it has more to do with bad parenting by blacks and the enviroment and people black kids grow up around, than it does with poverty.

    Even if IQ isn't accurate to determine intelligence, what about a person's behaviour, how they carry themselves and the way they speak? I think that goes a long way in determining intelligence and when it comes to many blacks, they don't act and sound very intelligent. Also from my experiences as well as obversations everywhere, intelligent people usually seem to be the last to act out physically in a violent manner, while less intelligent people seem more likely to act physically more quickly and that definitely applies to blacks and many non-blacks as well.

    its a combination of things. if you have economic insecurity and a destabilised society, you get more in group-outgroup scenarios where group violence is directed towards outsiders (gangs, turf wars etc). This is often the case in neighbourhoods with a high ratio of black americans for a whole range of reasons which are not related to anything intrinsic to "blackness", but may be related to historical factors and internalised issues as well as economic factors.

    you get poor parenting in communities where people have been marginalised, or have historically experienced forced family breakups etc, and of course, this carries on down the generations.

    to compare it to the poverty in asia is tricky - you are dealing with a much more collectivist society in most cases where the extended family still plays a vital role. In some places I have been you may have a village head man, or other "big man" in a community who is wealthy (while others are obviously poor) but there is a sense of - for want of a better phrase - noblesse oblige. His status comes from him being part of the community, and he maintains that status through selective largesse that is seen to benefit the collective. Motivated young men from the village may well leave, butthey have a sense of obligation and send money back to the village ... there is also the concept of family shame if people go off the rails. This means a lot more than it does here. You do not shame your family.

    Also - the socieities are very patriarchal, and even among adults there can be real fear of the father/senior males.

    even so, there is still a lot of crime in cities.


    in western society this doesn't exists at all - and to be honest I think the high ratio of female feaded families is also a contributory factor (this also has increased during periods of economic instability. while feminism and liberalisation may be "blamed" for some of this increase, historically economic instability can increase the likelihood of itinerant males deserting families). most likely, in certain communities the "norm" has become the female headed family, so there is less expectation that couples will remain together to raise a family.

    female headed families are fine, but young males need male role models. without men at home, or in an extended family, they can gravitate more towards the peer group as a reference point for "belonging" and getting an understanding of what it means to be a man.


    obviously there is a lot more to this - but historically (you can look at data over a number of centuries) you see crime rates (especially violent crime rates) are higher during periods of economic upheaval and instability in the society. historically, young men during these times have been recruited to fight wars (the hundred years war, the thirty years war etc), but still crime rates have been high.

    Its not IQ as such, as the capacity for reason which is more likely to be found among people who are more educated, or who have been taught to respond rather than react to situations they find themselves in.



    also - have you seen the stuff on the culture of honour, comparing north vs South in the US?

    it makes it pretty clear that cultural factors can also shape how we interpret the actions of others, and how we respond to potential perceived insults/threats.

    Hey, maybe if I have a kid one day in the future they'll get with someone of another race or nationality even and then they have kids with people with every other nationality, and then I'll have my own United Nations-based family.

    The standard IQ test is just what it is "standard". The bunk that the Negro scores lower becuase the test is for white people is just that "bunk". The negro brain is smaller than the white brain and less capable of absorbing difficult concepts. Negros are good boxers because their skull is almost twice as thick as a white mans.

    Whites and negros are not equal - the Negro runs faster and the white man thinks better. Case closed.

    I'd only care if they didn't use protection. I lost my virginity when I was 15. I turned out fine.

    Hell my grandma was married when she was 16.

    As for the topic. I'd only care if they were dating trash. Not if they were dating out of race. I've known some very intelligent and sophisticated black people in my time and see no problem with someone dating one of them

    I've met my share of hilariously dumb white people to know being an idiot has little to do with race.

    even if anyone was able to come up with some method of determining brain size between racial groups this wouldnt do anything for the racist arguement. Brain size within humans does not directly correlate to intelligence.
