The fact is, race is a good predictor of things like civilization, intelligence, violence, etc. I offer no explanations.

Eh? What is this thing you call "race," Earth Monkey?

We used to think the answer was obvious. You know, it's obvious what "race" someone is, isn't it? Until you start to look at the details.

Race is a cultural convention. There is a science of population genetics, and it isn't about "race." Rather, people use population genetics to infer the social marker called "race."

I adopted an African girl. What "race" is she? What determines this? She has tribal markings on her eyes -- or the scars from tribal medicine for conjunctivitis, hard to tell -- but the markings are characteristic of her region and tribe, so someone who knows could tell where she comes from, as to the region.

I once had a friend tell me that my Chinese daughter was, of course, going to be more intelligent than the Ethiopian girl. The Chinese daughter is no slouch, intellectually, but her younger sister is definitely smart as hell. My friend was a racist. Lots of people are racist. That is, they believe that race is a biological or even a "spiritual" reality. He wasn't being mean, he was just being ignorant.

Better than, say, poverty? Source please.

What do you mean by "race?" I notice a lot of discussion below on this topic already, but the term is unclear to me, and I don't see how anyone can usefully disagree or agree without this information. Some people use "race" to indicate loose groupings based around skin color, whereas others mean much more strictly a specific genetic group.

Incidentally, there is no canonical "race," just generally-agreed upon loose labels that vary from person to person. Because of this, it is generally not useful for predicting anything, and should be avoided, I think. A "white person" from Sicily and a "white person" from Iceland do not have much more in common with each other than they might with a disparate other range of people, so it's not a meaningful grouping (except perhaps when speaking of historical things). It is wiser to be more exact.

There's the additional danger that you will be misunderstood, and that someone will (very reasonably) think that you are advocating simple-minded racism of a common sort. Saying "race is a good predictor of things like civilization, intelligence," etc. is a fairly specific sort of social code, and if you don't actually mean that "black people are dumb" or "Asians can't drive," (and I'm not saying that you necessarily do) then you should find another sort of phrasing.

I thought genes had something to do with race, but feel free to clarify.

Across cultures?

Oh, it's entirely beside the point. I'm just curious.

... which races are we talking about here? On reflection, I can't think of any race that seems less civilized. I could just about buy a difference in intelligence, and I can see how you might think violent inclinations are affected by race (although I'm pretty sure that's sociological,) but I don't really see how you can plausibly make the claim that civilization has a racial component.

While I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding any quotes by racists (I'm mostly getting quotes about racism, which is of course very different,) I've definitely seen quotes from slave-owners and British Empire types talking about how the savages cannot control their impulses, have low inteligence and so on. Hitler would be the obvious answer, but it's always hard to be sure what he actually believed - we still don't know what religion he was, for instance.

Luckily, there are sites dedicated to calling out racists. Unluckily, they are often taken in by trolls, and of course the more intelligent/charismatic/educated racists are often filtered out.

Nevertheless:

I´m not racist but I believe black people are closer to gorillas than to white people... that´s why we shouldn´t get mixed with black people, we are different species and they should stay at Africa? or to the zoo, somewere far away from us, as I said I´m not racist and I don´t pretend to insult anybody, but black people is a threat to our race

Some other examples:

Think of all the violent, animalistic, starving, illiterate and un-evolved "things" in Afghanistan today, and you will get some idea of what America would be like if whites hadn't come here. If you want to know what America will look like when the blacks and hispanics finally take it over, you need look no further than the continent of Africa, or the crime ridden and decimated country of Mexico.

So go ahead, Mr. Wackadoodle, and spout your equality bullshit. Deny the statistics that prove unequivocally that the white race is the only fully evolved and truly intelligent race in the world. Without the white wealth and subsequent charity, the majority of the black, brown, yellow and red people in the world would already have died of disease or starved to death.

They should have known better than to do business with that nigress. Niggers can not be trusted for anything, for any reason. When will we learn?

Never do business with shitskins

We need to kill Somali women and children (pirate breeders and future pirates) and STOP the UN from giving these miserable people free food, it only prevents their numbers from diminishing naturally from hunger.

Pathetic race can't even feed itself. We need to just let natural selection work its course.

The frequency of tautological phrases and similar redundancies by niggers when trying to communicate through spoken language is directly related to a nigger's slowness of thought.

Humans tend to be able to think much quicker than they speak, just as they can read silently more quickly than they can read out loud. For this reason, a human who is trying to express a message verbally will tend to have thousands of words at the ready, and have ample time to select the appropriate word and place it in line to be spoken at the appropriate instance.

Niggers, however, are a different story. Despite the fact that the average nigger has only mastered about 600 words, it still struggles with word retrieval, and tends to need extra time for this "thinking" process. As a result, absent the use of "gap-fillers", a nigger's oral expressions would have significant periods of silence between words (imagine trying to speak to someone in Greek by using an English-to-Greek dicitionary-- there would be pauses while you looked up the next word).

Since niggers cannot be silent, they either fill the gaps with eeks and ooks (mmmhhmm) or with meaningless rhetoricals (gnomesayin) or with tautological phrases (any phrase with words that are superfluous because they are implicit). Many humans use tautologies to some extent (e..g., in the phrase "whether or not" the words "or not" are superfluous because they are implicit in the word "whether"). Still, niggers take it to a much higher level. In your example, the nigger who says that he will "kill you dead, Muddafuggah" is using the words "you dead" so that he can stall for time, so to speak, while his primitive brain searches for and then retrieves the word "Muddafuggah."

All black women want large asses. Something primitive in them because their brains aren't fully developed.

The Genetics of the White races and the Negro races are much different. One of the most important things is the average brain size of a White is much larger than that of an average Negro. This makes a big difference in how well someone can perform in a civilized society.

Whites have always been the creators of civilizations and inventions.

Blacks have literally never made it above the mud hut. They are also the only race that never invented the wheel. The average pure Negro IQ is just below 70. The average pure white IQ is well above 100.

Thus it was not the heart which was the seat of the soul, according to the stone-age Jews, but the blood itself. They believed that by drinking the blood of a Christian victim who was perfect in every way, they could overcome their physical short comings and become as powerful as the intelligent civilized beings among whom they had formed their parasitic communities. Because of this belief, the Jews are known to have practiced drinking blood since they made their first appearance in history.

What Mr. Beck was getting at is that we, the human beings here in the U.S., need a renewal of at least full segregation, if not the outright repatriation of all of the baboons back to Aperica immediately.

My local rag, nauseatingly ultra-liberal, was extremely critical, voicing their outrage that the event was all white."All white?" So what? If it had been all nigger they would have flipped out with joy, like they did over the recent Martin Lucifer Coon "I held a dream" bullshit. The only dreams that filthy spook ever had were about white women,cold cash, and Communism.

Blacks are natural born psychotic criminals and that is a proven fact! The jews have created laws to protect these beast of prey.

These differences are believed to be derived from the decreased intelligence and increased animal sex drive of the Negroid, with larger penises allowing for more efficient and brutal rape

source

how many young white females will be raped and murdered by nonwhites in the decades to come, because of the message of trusting and loving racial aliens that programs like this implant in them?

source

Also to note is that in the prehistoric times different species of hominids did mate on occasion and produce fertile hybrids. That's part of evolution.

So no matter which way it is used and it is a great piece of propoganda lies....the fact that Whites and blacks can produce a fertile offspring is NOT proof that they are the same species.

Meanwhile, back in reality land, we see that the group with the biggest pile of corpses at their feet is the multiculturalists who have the blood on their hands of all the whites who have been raped and killed by those wonderful non-whites we just can't get into our nations quickly enough so that they can breed us out of existence.

I sincerely hope that a couple generations from now, the triumphant whites will look upon all the anti-white movies and literature from our age like Harry Potter as it should be looked upon: irrational filth designed to justify a genocide

The black man down the street was caught with drugs. Send everyone who isn't white or christian back to africa. I'm calling it now: liberals and wanna-be conservatives who are too cowardly to say what I am saying will come around in 2012 to realize that if we don't clean up, we'll suffer tenfold. Disagree with me if you want, as the constitution gives you the right to hate America

I have heard that niggers have thicker, denser skulls that have sometimes been able to stop weak bullets(.22lr) and deflect strong ones(.45acp).

Also, niggers have simple, primitive brains that are smaller and less developed. Niggers are used to living in a half-unconscious state where no thinking is done and impulses are immediately acted upon.

Could it be possible that a headshot to a nigger's brain would only slow the nigger down?

Maybe we ought to aim for the heart instead.
