The people residing in the fertile crescent weren't ever smart by Northern European standards

Sure, I'm convinced that you have data on that from, say 1000 AD? 2000BC? You're making assertions based on nothing. Inbreeding has been common in various European areas as well, royal families, even the neanderthals. There's no reason to think that ancient Sumerian culture did things similarly to today in that regard. An no, coming up with nuclear physics does not really indicate any intrinsic superior intelligence of the whole population, when you build on what has been discovered before. Besides, many of the people who did some of the greatest contributions to just that have genetic markers from the Middle-East. Jews still do.

The first calculations of the size of the earth did not come from Northern Europe, it came from Southern Europe/Middle-East. Northern Europeans did not contribute that much until the last 500 years or so. If we checked overall contributions around 1000 AD we would probably agree with the Chinese, who thought themselves vastly superior to everyone else. It has everything to do with favorable environment, culture, trade connections vs isolation, and picking up on what was invented before.

That is a load of BS. Every civilization builds on previous ones. It is also about interconnections more than anything. Northern Europe was full of hunter-gatherers and primitive farmers at the time, while the people were mostly the same. Violence was everywhere, including Europe. Did the genetics dramatically change? No it didn't.

I mean Africans are more *genetically *diverse, literally. Look it up.

Europeans are even worse than Americans. I should know, I am from there myself. Sweden and Germany have been keeling over for anyone deemed an "oppressed minority" so as not to seem racist.

I disagree. It has a lot to do with culture. Many of the refugees you mention aren't even blacks. They are often Syrians or from North Africa. Genetically, they are the same people who built some of the most ancient civilizations in the Middle-East. Africans are actually genetically more diverse than any other continent.

In America the last decades, it's as if blacks have been given that self-help book (from the film "How to Be") called "It's Not Your Fault", and that's not helping anyone. People need to be held accountable without useful idiots on the sidelines screaming oppression.

They do? You never met a black person with feet firmly planted on the ground? Or do you mean statistically? The problem with the people you have run into is one of history and culture. Black people in America were first treated like trash and then like babies who could do no wrong. So in some circles they have built up a cynical “gangster culture”, and many people (whites and black) let them get away with it. Notice the way they treat the cops who have been interacting with them lately. Gangster cultures exist in several areas of Europe as well by they way.

Seriously? Treat people like people. If people break the law, you throw them in jail.

I didn’t see it either, but I didn’t notice many media saying that Kamala “won” the debate so that’s something....

Try Lovecraft Country and weep. Black people having conversations? Must be about racism then!

Some old fellows I know tell me that in Oregon it’s mostly Portland that’s a lost cause. Much of the rest is Ok.

That’s a fair point. But I still think it’s a good thing that SOMEONE within the leftist sphere brought this up.

Did you guys see Bill Maher last time? He was finally starting to doubt the media coverage of race issues. Baby steps I suppose.

For years, the image of an African-American chef appeared on our Cream of Wheat packaging. While research indicates the image may be based upon an actual Chicago chef named Frank White, it reminds some consumers of earlier depictions they find offensive," the company said in a statement. "Therefore, we are removing the chef image from all Cream of Wheat packaging.”

“It’s actually clearly a successful black person who was ahead of his times, but some people might inexplicably see it as racist, so we’ll go with that”

“I didn’t suffer professionally to my knowledge. And other people would have”

notice the “I just know this to be true” assertion pulled out of a place the sun don’t shine.

In Norway, when the draft was being extended to women, this was actively opposed by the feminists.
