ElM, you are obviously more melanin-rich than I thought.* That's not what I said at all: <You're extrapolating a result of climatology applied to evolution of human intelligence of and you are jumping to the conclusion that if the guy is darker he is less clever. > For your homework, you are assigned to read it again, slowly. Point finger at words, move lips! You are leaping to a conclusion that anyone who puts a bunch of words together along such lines and doesn't seem to agree with conventional wisdom must ipso facto fit your pigeon hole designation of ignorant racist. Which of course, ironically, demonstrates your racist inclination to pigeonhole people into prejudiced stereotypes rather than understand the individual conceptualisation. If that's not too much of a mouthful. <You know why they were taken to the new world to cut sugar cane and pick cotton? Because their body is built to dissipate heat.> ElM, while it's true that black skin radiates heat better than white, that's irrelevant. When I was young and fit, I could work as fast and long as any brown person doing heavy duty manual work. The reason they were taken to the 'new world' was because they were an available resource, being sold cheaply by their local owners. A bargain is always appealing, so swarms were bought. In WWI, NZers were a cheap resource and were loaded onto ships to Europe to fight various people who people in Whitehall deemed worth fighting. Even in my youth, there was conscription, which is nothing more than sanitized slavery. Maybe it's more serfdom than slavery. The outcome is much the same. The slaves/serfs/conscripts are forced against their will do do dangerous and arduous work, with low or no pay, for the benefit of the rulers. In defence of freedom, the conscripts should of course turn their guns on the most proximate abusers of freedom and self-determination, being those enslaving them. Mqurice * since jokes don't translate well in cyberspace, so they say, that is a joke and I don't really think your misunderstanding is due to your suntan. Though on reflection, thinking straight in excessive heat is difficult. Maybe the melanin sets up an expectation of excessive heat in the person's brain so they are always having trouble thinking; much like ringing a bell for Pavlov's dogs makes them think food is coming.
