| Multishanks said: Toni Morrison has an awesome interview about race. she comes to the conclusion that the racist structure of our society has not only limited the disenfranchised but also those who "benefit" from it as well. But it places so much emphasis on something as arbitrary and uncontrollable as skin color that it limits our ability to see and celebrate our individual accolades and accomplishments. Seeing some of the comments section definitely affirms this for me.
And the gentlemen speaking about Eugenics should really tread carefully. Eugenics was also used to single out those who were "genteically inferior" which in some cases were poor uneducated white people. In regards to science not being attributed to "white excellence", the entire academic structure throughout the world is based upon European academia with lineage through holy roman empire to the greeks. What exactly do expect the world to do to pay homage. It isn't enough that most of the world knows how to speak a European language? I mean my ancestors have been erased from history and my own origins are nothing more than a blurred smudge on the canvas of human existence and I'm still here. I think "white people" will be fine. |
The world is being developed in such a way that (for the first time) the weak aren't dying out anymore but are reproducing faster than ever before. Meanwhile, civilized 1st world population groups are in decline.
Why should I tread carefully? Did I not state that we threw "the baby out with the bathwater" ? Did you not read this part of what I said? Do we live in a world where people are so unimaginably stupid that they have to adhere to extremes only? Just because Hitler had something to do with Eugenics and he was bad therefore Eugenics is bad?
It is a fact that some people are genetically inferior to others. This is true individually and collectively. I know one guy who's parents are both neurosurgeons. He finished his MSc in abstract mathematics in 6 months and then went to Stanford for a PhD. He is attractive, brilliant and athletic. Are you saying he is not genetically superior to 99% of the world's population? And what is true for individuals must necessarily extend to the collective. Some population groups will be more adept at certain things (i.e. be superior at those things) than others due to evolution. You think the brain/nervous system is just some mush that helps us thinK? NO, it is hardwired by our genetics.
Just like I will never be bad at math, there are some people who will never be good at it. And their children are much less likely to be good at math than mine. Therefore I am more likely to produce offspring that will further science than the average person. Is this not common sense?
Or should we just fuck forward like we are at the moment and see what comes out of that soup?
It boggles my mind that this taboo clouds the thinking of so-called smart people so much.
And for god's sake; I'm not advocating a war or ethical cleansing.
