Why we millennials can't afford to be colorblind

Post Reply New Topic

Lets perhaps try this one on for size:

1) We still as a society have our poor pretty low and they're in a low position regardless of race.

2) For a long time after the abolition of slavery, African Americans were treated horribly, and to this day closing on 50 years after MLK there are still tons of people - I have them in my own family - who will talk about race, 'the blacks', etc. all day long. Even as a guy on the gen X/Y barrier (born 1979) I can't stand it and I've brought it up to them that by acting like that and perpetuating that image they hold out an invitation for self-fulfilling prophecy as if saying that blacks are less intelligent therefor, also, expect less of them. Most black Americans - rightfully so - are horribly insulted by that and do everything they can to make their lives work despite it, there are also those - like among whites - who'd rather take the easy road because they'd rather not work, and, if that image is being projected on them they'd rather give in to it.

3) African Americans came out of out of one pot and into another fire - ie. the language of Great Society. The generational welfare culture was built by the short-sightedness certain politicians had by stating that for a women to collect welfare payments the father of the children could not be around. Daniel Patrick Moynihan got shellacked for pointing the dangers of this out at the time but looking at the aftermath he was right.


Looking at a lot of what's happened in our country and the fact that so many baby-boomers still have a very big race chip on their shoulder, even plenty of gen X'ers, it's not much of a surprise that black America is poorer. We also have racially bitter parents on both sides as well that the next generation whose inculturation each new generation has to overcome. What really sucks right now - even as racism recedes these days the overall job market and economic picture is worsening, the each-man each-woman for his/herself environment is swapping our racism for a different problem and another way in which the economically and opportunity-disadvantaged are hit; heck even the advantaged aren't always making it anymore.

I think what our country and our culture need though is a lot more compassion (and probably a LOT of soul-searching on how we make our economic system work for us). It's incumbent on me to see how much people need active appreciation being that with a high IQ and given wonderful parents who've seen me through everything I'm still barely keeping myself out of economic crash and failure and graduating college helped me see the non-training and general schizophrenia of the work world; add to this that we're now increasingly competing with computers and robots for our jobs. A lot of the bitterness out there seems to come from an outlook that one is shunned from life itself and that's a messed up thing for people to have to deal with.

As I go on trying to do what I can to do the right and just thing with those I interact with regardless of race, creed, sex, or preference I also make it a point to understand that 'blacks' don't own black racists or those who'd deliberately encourage or even act in racial incidents against whites for that purpose - they're trying to get by as best they can in general, want nothing to do with it, and can control that about as well as I can forcefully control how another white person raises their kids or decides to behave behind closed doors (usually the more corrupt that behavior is by society's standards the fewer witnesses they'll allow to their behavior and the tougher it will be for anyone to have leverage over it). It's as foolish as telling every woman that she's responsible for third-wave feminism. Bullies are bullies, I think that's another thing that doesn't obey race and usually the people who want to treat others unfairly will use whatever tools they can - race is just one of those things in close reach.

I think this is where we even further need to distinguish colorblindness in so far as equity (ie. not to decimate cultural heritage and people's right to enjoy the exploration and evolution of it - we shouldn't all be pressed gears for a machine) but I don't think we should have class-blindness. The existence of a large underclass, a shrinking middle-class, these say something about the state of the human condition, just how much growing up our culture has yet to accomplish, and I don't think there should be any color-preference or exclusion in helping the poor either out of poverty or at least into having more options for fulfilling life purpose and being given their full dignity and respect. We're all human and all have the same basic needs.

It is a common mutation called Lusistic. Our zoo has famous blue eyed blond scale alligators.

Siamese Cats, Samoyed Dogs, some Koi, and it also happens in all races of people.

What we know of White People. Fifty thousand years ago around the Persian Gulf, they spread to Asia, Australia, south to Ethiopia, who all have dark skin, and north to the Black Sea region where they all had white skin. Everyone of this line has wavy hair.

The Human Genome Project says the ancestors of Europe were a very small and closely related group of less than a hundred, closer than brother sister, almost twins related, over the whole group.

The European group interbred with Neanderthals 38,000 years ago. As dark skin is dominate, and they continued to be white, Neanderthals also were a mutation. The recently discovered Denisovan people left blond genes among the Melanesian people. The migration was from southeast Asia, up through China, then inland.

Denisovan and Neanderthal were one people 250,000 years ago. Neanderthal continued to migrate west into Europe.

The only way blue eyed blonds would have survived the mating with Neanderthal is if they were also.

Neanderthal had another mutation, red hair and golden eyes. It is also found with the Orangutan.

Green eyes are not a mutation, they are the result of a mating between blue and golden eyes. Some golden eyes still pop up in Eastern Europe. Green eyes and red hair travel together. Scarlet O'Hara was a Neanderthal.

In far Siberia, there are a people with red hair and gray eyes. Genghis Khans mother was one. Reports say he had blue eyes and red hair, and very fair skin.

The traits became fixed when Europe and North Asia became isolated during ice ages.

Homo sapiens have dark skin, hair, eyes, except sometimes.

Traits are also selectively bred. Tall light skinned Asians mate with their kind. There are a sub group of Japanese over six foot.

The Varangian Guard of the Emperor of Constantinople were from the far north, held the job for fifteen hundred years, and were said to be seven foot tall.

The Cro Magnon people were also very tall and had very large brains.

In South Africa ten thousand years ago a people with elongated skulls existed, much larger brains, who also show up in Egyptian art, and in South America, The Inca, as Royal Family, and along the Sea of Cortez at Topolobampo.

We have not yet begun to mutate, wait until we get into space, form colonies on other worlds.

We can also now get selective in the lab. Most sapien DNA is non coding. It has been hitching a ride since some monkey caught a Virus five million years ago.

While most Europeans have 4% Neanderthal DNA, they do not have the same 4%. It is now possible to recombine DNA, and breed for more Neanderthal traits.

Neanderthal DNA is the Genetic Watershed. North Europe and China have them, Africa, India, Southeast Asia do not. We are evolving in different directions. 4% is greater than the genetic distance between sapiens and chimps.

Everyone is not the same.

Neanderthals and sapiens had their last common ancestor 600,000 years ago in Africa.

Neanderthals migrated out, through Southeast Asia, up into China, then followed the rivers inland.

They are Homo Sapien Neanderthal and through China are the Red Deer People.

Farther inland, the Altai Mountains, the vast plains of Asia, they spent a quarter million years adapting to the cold.

One group stayed, The Denisovan, another migrated across the plains to the west, and into Europe.

Their last common ancestor was 250,000 years ago.

Sapiens continued in Africa, and did not leave a record. We know them from DNA, and some traits such as wavy hair, the thrown spear, and the halfted axe. Most have dark skin, hair, eyes.

The people of Somalia, Ethiopia, have white facial features. They have wavy hair.

Native Australians are of the line, reached Australia 40,000 years ago, crossing sixty miles of deep open ocean.

I hear reports they interbred with Erectus, but I did not know we had erectus DNA mapped. They seem to be the most primitive people on earth. Tasmanians forgot how to make fire.

One part of the Sapien line bred with Neanderthal 125,000 years ago. It was a replacement of the male line.

A second Neanderthal replacement follows at 80,000 years. This is the line that leads to Europeans.

As Neanderthal were color mutations, the Lucistic recessive was passed on, till sapiens had it as dominate.

That coloration is part of our Neanderthal heritage.

There were not many, almost all records are found in the Middle East along with Neanderthal.

Neanderthal had a 1600cc brain. When early modern humans appear 125,000 years ago, they had a 1200cc brain.

There is no record of Modern Humans before that, just some 800cc brain hominids.

So Neanderthals captured female hominids as sex pets, and created us in their own image.

Some got away and brought the big brain trait to the wild sapiens, which kept the change, but removed the Neanderthal DNA. Africans do not have Neanderthal DNA, but they do have large brains.

Evolution shows a long gradual increase in brain size, to 800cc, then a sudden jump to 1200cc.

50,000 years ago was the end of a long ice age. This glacial era had lasted 75,000 years. Warming sent the Neanderthal north, following the herds they hunted.

Hominid sex pets seem to have been dumped. Worse yet sea level was rising, driving erectus up from the low lands, looking for food.

North of the Persian Gulf, we find a record of their existence, that ends as they are driven up the river by erectus. They cross Turkey, into Georgia, and the erectus follow. They are driven up the mountains at the end of the earth.

One small group crosses the mountains, finds erectus free land in the north, and here we find the ancestors of Europe. They cross the mountains 40,000 years ago, 38,000 years ago the male line is replaced by a third Neanderthal line.

It is not just 4% DNA, the White Male line is Neanderthal. White males are different from Sapien Males.

White males have created Art, Music, Technology, Knowledge, far beyond anything else on earth.

White males brought the Neanderthal DNA into the Han Chinese 8,000 years ago.

The Neanderthal Gene Pool is map able. Europe and China have it, no one else does.

European women who mate with Africans produce light skinned Africans without Neanderthal DNA. Being it is on the male line, it is blanked out by African DNA.

Highly productive genetic traits are worth preserving.

No one expects any scientific breakthroughs from Sub Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, or native Australians.

Neanderthal was the most advanced and adapted species. A five tone bird bone flute was found, 80,000 years old. The year in phases of the moon carved on a bone, 60,000 years old, and the cave paintings of Europe are from before Sapiens reached the area.

Europeans owe their Culture and Technology to Neanderthals.
