It's people like you who are softly pro-genocide. Only you market it as a good thing. like it's a soft drink. Drink Geno Cider. It's good for you!

Not to mention that if that happens, we're all going to be a bunch of disease-ridden runts because most people of mixed racial groups inherit the disease susceptibility of both races. Not exactly good for the species.

I have never seen evidence that mixed race or ethnicity people are less healthy. Proof? Mixed breed dogs are generally healthier than pure-breds.

To have political power requires money and organization. As of now the black (and union) vote is nearly a given for demorats and, as such, the republicants do not make any great effort to secure it. That makes black power limited to changing the demorat platform only. Looking at the rise in the black vote alone ignores the offsetting loss of the union vote as it shrinks.

So long was the black vote stays with the demorats I see no increase in its power. What exactly have the demorats offered to improve the lives of the black popualtion? It seems to me that blacks give a lot of support to the demorats in exchange for gettiing very little in return.

Genetic factors predispose metabolic syndrome in mixed races -- ScienceDaily
In this stage of the study, it was founded that 42 per cent of the mixed population suffered from metabolic syndrome and 10 per cent had type II diabetes.

Info - What is sickle cell disease?

Sickle cell disease is extremely common in Africa and generally speaking people of african descend carry it more so than any other racial group and mixed race babies between any race and an african-descent parent are incredibly likely to get it since again, it's an inherited blood disease, not something you gain, but something you're born with.

And there are a host of other diseases that are more prevalent in every racial group. Whites. Asians. etc. A child of a mixed race breed is likely (not 100% but likely, as in, odds aren't in his favor) to inherit to worst genetic or other disorders from both worlds. So that's why if we'll all be mixed race, we'll all be succeptible to all the genetic disorders known to man. And that is how species go extinct.

Mixed breed dogs isn't the same as humans. Purebreeds are bread for a specific purpose. Like those dogs that are good at the races. Mix them with another breed and you dumb down their prowess to be that good at the racing thing which is what they're bred to do. You may be making them better in order stuff but that's not what they're there for. They're there to race. It's why it doesn't apply to humans.

What Democrats have done to the black race is appalling. Through their many elitist feel good policies from Johnson's Great Society onward has addicted a race of people to federal funding that has taken their desire to be all they can be. It's sickening. They keep them poor so they can insure their vote with any crumbs they can muster to throw them. They manage to give them just enough goodies to keep them appeased. It is why we have a 70% birthrate to unwed mothers in the black community. For many no longer does a black man feel any responsibility to the offspring he creates because Mama government provides for them.
 
Yes, more of the country will look like this.

Thank you for reminding us that racial ignorance is alive and well in the year 2014. :thumbdown

What a bunch of racist crap....

I offer substance to those I deem capable of rational discussion and good judgment. You have shown neither; thus, I have no incentive to do anything more than to call out your racism.

Good night.

Yes because science is racist. This is the comment I made literally just a few comments above yours. You're comment #60 and mine is #54. But god forbid you read. Its clear that quite a few people are ignorant of basic medical facts which I knew since I was like 13 or 14. So I assumed everyone knows about genetic disorders and other disorders and how there are races that are more afflicted by one or the other.

Why do you refuse to address the 70% birth rate to single moms? Is that because of racism too?




Why is this such an obsession with you? Are you under the impression that most states allow a woman to stay on aid for a prolonged period of time??

If 70% of children are born to a single parent, That causes great difficulties for those children in life.if You can't see that something is wrong with that than I guess anything goes in your life. Maybe you prance around naked pooping on the ground too? You seem to have low standards.

It is still racist crap....What difference does it make if a black couple has a child with sickle cell, or a mixed couple has a child with sickle cell? And let's take the island of Puerto Rico, one of the most mixed places in the world..What are your statistics on the rate of sickle cell anemia in that country??

If I pranced around naked and pooping, I would poop on you...you have "no" standards...

Juanita. I am not your lapdog to fetch statistics for you at will. I don't have time to entertain your ignorance. If you want to prove me wrong, prove me wrong with facts. Bring your own reputable sources to the table. I brought you 2 showing that there are genetic diseases that are prevalent in one race and not another and I gave a random example of sickle cell disease and how it is affecting people and mostly people of african descent. There are other races that have sickle cell disease but it's way less common than the ratio there is among african people and their descendants. I could have brought stuff like Tay Sachs or others but that would be useless since nobody can repute the first point. There is no need to bring more ammo to the fight when 1 bullet is enough to poke a hole in stupid rhetoric.

There is no racism in scientific data. It's the beauty of scientific data, what the result is, is what the result is. And if you disagree with that, then medical science is racist and then we better all just kill ourselves and get it over with sooner before some virus wipes us all out.

What Kalthag said is that we'll all be one race in some point in the future and my statement was that said one race would be prone to more genetic disorders and more genetic diseases than any other because if you have all the racial groups in your genetic heritage, you risk getting all their genetic and blood disorders too. And then that's how species die. Our species, the human species.

It's not an indictment on mixed race families. People are free to marry whoever they want and have as many kids as they want and do whatever. People who want to marry others for racial reasons are free to do so but that seems to be a stupid reason to marry someone, but you know, idiots are idiots. But having dreams or desires to see a single race human species is genocidal. Not just genocidal to all the races that exist on the planet now, but genocidal for the human species as a whole.

So I'm waiting for your facts and your data in the next post, and thoughtful conversation. Or else, I'm done with you because I don't entertain people who are uninformed and wallow in their ignorance with pride.
 
Is that a good or bad thing to you?

It's a non-issue for me. :shrug: I know, you and others would like me to answer in the affirmative or the negative just so I fit in today's popualist catagories. Sorry to burst some bubbles (not really). But I really don't care about race.
 
Supposedly the black population is growing at a faster rate than whites. Will this mean that blacks will have increased political power in the future? Or is access to the political power structure too controlled by those with wealth for an increasing number of black voters to have a meaningful influence?


The minority vote is becoming a larger and more important demo for campaigning, especially the Latino vote. The goal is to get out the vote with any group, because no matter how many there are, if they don't get to the polls nobody can capitalize from it. The youth and female vote is also becoming a more important factor, while the older population typically a larger percentage of voters for their size, could start to be marginalized if their main party of preference becomes more fragmented.

As far as the wealthy controlling the political power, they essentially create the candidates that will be available by who they'll support. Without their backing in today's mega money environment, no candidate has a prayer without them.
 
Blacks already have significant political power within the democratic party, look how well that has worked out for them. The mistake inherent in your question is that political power somehow equates to economic power. If blacks really wished to enhance their political power they would stop giving it so freely to one political party. As it stands now, the democrats take their votes for granted and the republicans don't court them because they know they wont get their votes.

Maybe if the GOP gave blacks a REASON to vote for them? Or is that too much to ask?

:roll: By the time there is no white race or black race or any sort of "seperate" (<---and I say that with derision) race they'll be able to genetically manipulate gene's. Which means bye bye genetic diseases. They're already working on animals with some success. Such as... Yeah yeah, I know...that's a mosquito and they're far less complicated than humans. Of course, considering that 100 years ago no one could even view gene's much less map them I'd say we're doing just fine.

As for being "pro-genocide", it's not. It's a simple fact of life. Am I "pro-air" because I need it to breath? Nope. It's just a simple fact of life. Absolutely nothing can be done to change or halt that fact. You'd probably have more success at stopping the sun from rising in the east.

They came out in the News today that blood transfusions from a younger person may reverse the aging process.

Two teams of scientists published studies on Sunday showing that blood from young mice reverses aging in old mice, rejuvenating their muscles and brains. As ghoulish as the research may sound, experts said that it could lead to treatments for disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease.

Things are changing so fast that we may be near or approaching a human version of the technological singularity, where our knowledge becomes so great, to the point, where we can manipulate the laws of nature and biological life itself.

Yes, I am quite aware of the genetic modifications done on animals and even on the amazing work that Bill Gates is doing with his organization in finding a cure for malaria.
There are also experiments on mice that have made them faster and more enduring and sheep that are more intelligent.

However. The human genome is far, far more complex and intertwined. For simple things, like Huntington' disease or such (could be another disease that I'm referring to), they are more easy to treat because they mostly result from an isolated gene that is "damaged". But the way genes are modified is with viruses. And when you work with viruses, there's always a big hefty potential for backfires. Even the most optimistic of genetisists are quite skeptic in that we would ever master our own genetic code. I mean, they may be wrong, you raise a very good point with the 100 years thing. But you know. Indeed, all bets are on at this point and the future looks hopeful from a technological standpoint.

It doesn't change the fact that it's still the elimination of the multiple races that exist today for a single one, so that's genocide of at least 7 major races on the planet. So that's that. I don't share your view of the future of mankind. I don't think it's plausible or realistic and I find it condemnable, but less condemnable then it would be if as a result of that, it would lead to human genocide, as in, all human genocide because of the prevalence of genetic diseases that would exist in people due to the fact that they'd inherit the genetic and other disorders from all major racial groups and then some. But still condemnable.
