[Zaroku]

wtf are you talking about?

My bad, I had several windows of boxingscene open.

[Lomadeaux]

They're all from Africa? That's hard to believe.

Nobody close to Sam...NOONE!!!

--- Devolving into race based boxing experts, eh?

Many if not most scientists say there is no scientific evidence of races, making you outdated.

As it is, you already ignore the 400 yrs of boxing history, as well as a host of other factors like poverty, geography and so on.

A little Filipino flyweight more recent stood boxing on its collective Sponge Bob Squareheads to the amusement of those of us who actually know about these things.

Absolutely true statement.

Its been proven that genetically race is a weak set of traits. For example, depending on the group being studied, you can actually have Scandinavian and African groups with more in common than groups with similar skin color and geography.

- -Prob being the early scientists in the day thought race a valid fact verified by distinctive predominate characteristics found on the 4 major land masses.

Obvious to even a Village idiot these are different peoples, and even before science the same was the case.

And now ********** hollering how healthcare ain't yet tailored research to give them proper healthcare.

The no races stance by science is actually political driven by post ww2 after so many atrocities were commited by the Germans and Japanese on those of presumed inferior races.

So the no race stance ideally wipes out those notions of race that unfortunately surfaced in 1990s Rwanda when the majority Hutus attempted to wipe out the minority ruling Tutsis in a 3 month orgy of mass murder.

These are a tiny fragment of the global population, but the distinctive Hutu certainly knew how to search out the racially distinctive Tutsis. The official UN toll was 500,000 out of the neccesity to conduct mass burials as efficiently as possible, but the number is over 800,000.

So in the end, the people have spoken for better or worse that there are races and sub races of peoples and we'd be better off studying the differences for understanding rather than denying they exist to no good purpose other than overseer mandating political correctness.

This thread has significant importance because there was a time when American blacks couldn't compete for the most coveted prize in all of boxing which was the World heavyweight championship due to a long history of racial discrimination.

What geniuses! You know nothing. Parrots reciting racial drivel.

Get over it dude. Races are real and even children as young as 2 have a concept of race.

Get over it dude. Races are real and even children as young as 2 have a concept of race.

Have to concede that second point as you are a perfect example of it, mental age that is...

"Races are real" lol... How real is that? more or less real than skin color? than regional differences? I am begging to know where race is inscribed beyond human beings deciding that skin colors and region produce certain differences. So given that we have skin colors and that we have certain regions, what does race do that makes it more than those traits? Cause you wont find a genetic indicator, and environmental differences will always trumph racial stereo types... Exchange a black kid from the bronx with a white kid up the road in conneticut and guess what happens to the stereotype of each kid?

I beg to differ with some that race understood as such will heal through understanding...When we don't have race we have a million other excuses to kill each other. Bosnia had cities where ******s lived next to Christians, etc and nobody knew the difference and it took one nationalist to provoke genocide...Race? Please...
