Isis I've enjoyed debating with you, and it's obvious you have a good deal of knowledge and a real interest in the subject. I think there is gap in between our conclusions that is unlikely to be bridged, but how boring would it be if we all shared the same opinions?Comment

again, you couldn't add IMHO to the end of that statement. Why because you are a biased *** that thinks his opinion is law!
Some pople rate Marciano top Five at heavey and some rate Dempsey aswell you biased, know it all ****head!!!Comment

Unless you have any distinct criticism for the highly praised work of both Frank Snowden and Basil Davidson, then your quackery (no offense. Used for lack of a better term) and original research in trying to give them generalized/sweeping criticism shall be disregarded. Neither was in any way politically motivated and both of their works are required reading in their respective fields. Scholarly criticism of their efforts is virtually non-existent among the intellectual elite in academia and their findings have been repeated.
You're sadly confused my friend, as "race" is a four letter word invented by Europeans based on an arbitrary taxonomic system which has no genetic validity whatsover. There is no single point of divergence or marker that would indicate distinct lineages that would qualify people to be categorized by sub-species. There is a clinal shift from one population to another and what people selectively refer to as "races" are merely outliners who follow the same cline.
Quoting the American Anthropological Association:
In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. Evidence from the analysis of genetics (e.g., DNA) indicates that most physical variation, about 94%, lies within so-called racial groups. Conventional geographic "racial" groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater variation within "racial" groups than between them. In neighboring populations there is much overlapping of genes and their phenotypic (physical) expressions. Throughout history whenever different groups have come into contact, they have interbred. The continued sharing of genetic materials has maintained all of humankind as a single species. - Source
^If this is what you were referring to in reference to your "politically motivated" statement, and not Davidson and Snowden, then excuse my disarray. If indeed you were referring to the discrediting of "race" as a natural concept, then again, you are mistaken since such conclusions were drawn over a stretched period of time and these views were not easily transitional. Most importantly, the conclusions were made based on the best science available (especially genetics) which effectively deconstructed the bunk concept and traced its history back to Europeans who invented it as a justification for their own political motives. This is contrary to your own su****ions.
By definition, racism is discrimination based of these deep seeded feelings of in group superiority. I'm not sure that I ever denied that. However, there is nothing by way of science (anthropology, sociology, or psychology) to suggest that these feelings are innate HUMAN traits which arose as a mechanism for survival. This is the point of contention.
^No, a bunk theory (like racism being innate among humans) based on nothing, and a sound theory, bordering scientific fact, and inferred from copious amounts of data are two different things. The "half wit" comment was unnecessary and can be seen as an ad hominem and fallacy in logic since you're rebutting thin air and not anything tangible. I've already cited someone from the department of Sociology and Anthropology and a few historians on why it is bankrupt to assume that discrimination has always been based on phenotypical variation. We see an opposite trend as a matter of fact and no amount of su****ion or reluctance to accept will obscure the scientific data in question.
Man I hate to reply to a novel with a short message, but thats the most warped, educated, misleading piece of drivel i have ever read. You are weak ass *** Isis. You would have White people commit suicide to make up for the horrible way they treated your ancestors. You know what? Get the *** over it you crybaby. Every race on the planet has been enslaved or discriminated against at one point or another. Don't act like your race has a corner on the market.
It has got to the point where African Americans,or Blacks(which ever you prefer) are just plain ***in making excuses for themselves. They have more oppourtunity in this country than in any other place on the planet in history...
You take the education you were given and use it to cry like a *****(Albeit on a high level than most)
Grow up and get the *** over it Al(Sonofisis) shaprton!!!Comment

For someone who says he's not prejudiced or racist towards Blacks, you sure could've fooled me by your dumb-ass statements. Do us all a favor & stop posting because you have no sort of boxing knowledge or about life in general. You are so biased towards Mayweather or other black athletes that don't fit "your mold". You can't give ANY kind of objective answer about him or those others you mentioned. So please crawl back into the hole you came out of & cover it with dirt. People on this forum would applaud you for that.Comment

Yeah I,m biased. I got Larry Holmes in my avatar and openly admit That Hagler is my Favorite boxer ever.
Stop the bull**** and admit you just don't want to hear my opinion. It isn't my fault people like you and ISIS want to live your lives blaming Whites for your problems!
Grow up!
Ask an objective question then. Don't spout some **** and expect me to line up to your little hip-hop diety!!!Last edited by Easton Assassin; 09-11-2007, 09:18 AM.Comment

I'm not gonna ask you for **** because you're a ****head who's biased. I have no reason to ask for your opinion because you have nothing to contribute. And I can see you're assuming more **** about me adding your little racist digs about blaming whites & hip-hop. I don't care who your favorite boxer is because it doesn't change the fact that yor're a racist in denial. Your own ****** staements supports that & imagine that anyone that has seen your posts would agree with me. I'm done with you & have nothing else to say about this topic.Comment
