For the first time in recorded history my family lineage is being tainted by blood that is not white mans blood. I just found out today my cousin pregnant with an illegitimate child with with an Arab dude from the United Emirates. I don't really have any negative feelings toward this... It will just be very amusing to watch all the drama, seemens how my grandparents are racist to the extreme. There is some sick joy I experience when I watch other people argue about racial issues as I have experienced while reading this thread. All this aside my cousin will probably be disowned from the family. Its amazing how race can tear families and people apart. Which brings up something I've always thought about. Why is it that people hate people of other races? What makes them treat other races poorly? People don't beat other species of mammals up because they hate them, so it doesnt make sense why people become violence stems from racial prejudice.
Think about this... Without saying who is better or worse... Is it really hard to believe that races are more naturally adept at some physical and cognitive tasks than others? Asians have always been very dedicated and hard working throughout history. Black people may have special things in their legs that allow them to jump higher and run faster. Face it there are many differences than just skin color within different races. Asians have squinty eyes mexicans are short, italians have greasier hair, lots of little things... Anyways so is it that hard to believe there maybe other small genetic differences that also lead to small differences in cognitive abilities? --just a thought, black people honestly do score 15 pts lower on IQ tests, read it in my psych text book.
But the point i'm getting to is why these differences lead to hate. Most people don't hate monkeys or blue footed boobies, just a thought.
