Racism

from PolMach Forums

Blacks are obviously more athletic than whites.

32 out of 32 NFL runningbacks are black. The chances of that happening by chance is over 4 trillion to 1 (4294967296 to 1 to be precise)...and that is assuming that 50% of the population is black.

The average SAT score of blacks is far behind the average SAT score of whites.

If it is ok to say that blacks are, in general, more athletic (which they obviously are)....then why is it not ok to say that whites are, in general, smarter than blacks? (virtually every major artistic and scientific discovery in human history has been made by whites)

You are automatically assuming that the reason blacks dominate sports is because they are athletically superior without looking into the historical and present context. I believe poverty is what causes black communities not to do well. Schools in communities of color tend to be the worse in preparing students for college. Sports is a part of black culture since blacks have been allowed to be active in sports before de-segregation happened in schools.

Also, blacks are not "obviously" more athletic than whites. One sport where every nation participates the most equally is soccer. Black teams do not dominate because countries of all races have equally done well (As far as I know). Football has just become a srong part of black culture, just like soccer in the USA is for Latinos and NASCAR is for the south. Since blacks aren't in NASCAR, does that mean they can't drive? Of course not, you can't make generalizations like that. You have to look into the context as to why things are the way they are. To make assumptions like that is wrong.

The very fact that George Washington Carver (the man who invented peanutbutter?!?) is the best you can do...is testament to the fact that whites have dominated human accomplishments throughout human history.

Oh how little you know of the man, and as for white people setting foot across the globe, MY ANCESTOR IS CRISTOBAL COLON, known to everyone in English as Christopher Columbus, the man was not white, He was a Catalonian from Barcelona (He was not Italian or from Portugal).

As for George Washington Carver:

George Washington Carver, Jr.: Chemurgist

Born: ~Spring 1865 Note on birth date
Died: January 5, 1943
Birthplace: Diamond Grove, Missouri Note on Birthplace
Former Slave, Educator, Scientist, Businessperson, Service Industry Employee, Agriculturist, Medical Worker, Artist, Author, Lecturer, Domestic, Reformer, Performing Artist.

George Washington Carver was born on a Missouri farm near Diamond Grove (now called Diamond), Newton County in Marion Township, Missouri. He received a B.S. from the Iowa Agricultural College in 1894 and a M.S. in 1896. He became a member of the faculty of Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in charge of the school's bacterial laboratory work in the Systematic Botany department. His work with agricultural products developed industrial applications from farm products, called chemurgy in technical literature in the early 1900s. His research developed 325 products from peanuts, 108 applications for sweet potatoes, and 75 products derived from pecans. He moved to Tuskegee, Alabama in 1896 to accept a position as an instructor at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and remained on the faculty until his death in 1943. His work in developing industrial applications from agricultural products derived 118 products, including a rubber substitute and over 500 dyes and pigments, from 28 different plants. He was responsible for the invention in 1927 of a process for producing paints and stains from soybeans, for which three separate patents were issued.

Racism is unbecoming of anybody, using statistics to hold down people and history to say see I told you so. When you oppress or suppress another race of course you can accomplish more than the other.

If it was not for my Catalonian ancestor your ancestors would have not made it across the Ocean to the US.

You all would still be wallowing in your sorrow across the pond in England.

Spain and Portugal conquered most of the world and they are NOT WHITE PEOPLE, but Spanish and Portugese.

Racial equality my freakin' arse.

Skin color should never be a factor, you should always look at the individual and do so otherwise is downright wrong and racist period.
