X, I was confused by your statement because I had read recently that there are no real differences at all between the various "races" below the level of the skin. Perhaps in the article I read the point was that there are no innate intellectual inferiorities, etc. Certainly from the recent news stories about physiological differences in the way black bodies work--the suceptibility to diabetes, etc.--there are differences in the way diseases work. I was curious about that, also, though--the diabetes differences are in American blacks. I wonder if the same is true of Africans, or if there is something about the very fatty southern American diet, substandard health care, and vestiges of slavery that may explain some of these things.

I am not suggesting anything here, just asking a question. Does anyone know?
