Whatever you say, you klucker you. Racism is the belief in the inherent, genetic superiority of one race over another, and the corresponding belief in the right of the superior race to dominate the inferior one. And you are posting bogus science that is racist, especially when you say we should exercise tolerance for those who cannot afford a minimum standard of living. Saying I am overly PC is a riot. I am expressing Christian thought, that all men are created equal. You are saying these people are not equal, they are primitive because they have not evolved yet. Blaming genetics for the plight of a large percentage of Africans is wrongheaded, and reeks of Darwinism, especially the excerpt I posted last night. BJ: Africans are optimised for a tribal society with a chief through many years of optimization for that type of role. Village chief and his wives and those that are the thralls to the chief. European society passed through that stage many years before the African societies. I expect there might be a genetic reason as well, same as dogs are pack animals and cats walk alone, it may be that Africans are optimised for the society they are in. African tribal society is very competitive towards other tribes since the other tribes eat the resources that their kids need....thus wars or what they call faction fights. In the old days this was the stuff of survival and they had to feed their kids. I bet the Germanic tribes were like that in Roman times. As time went by there emerged groups of genetically similar people in an area that were begat from the best warrior tribes...and thus man more villages of that genotype were built in an association, same as the germanic tribes or any other hunt/gather tribe. Farming made a difference and would support a higher population, thus more warriors....more wars won...more area occupied. You should read about it. It is not a defect, it is a strength for the times when they hunted/gathered. A bit out of place now, we have just had more time to tame these genes. Darwin: At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla. - Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex"
