Biggest difference between black and white....

[Citizen Koba]

Finally! I've been saying for years that one of the biggest issues is that they've tribalized America into "White" "Black" "Asian" and "Hispanic" when there are literally 100's of tribes that fit into that. The media pushes this narrative that all black african americans are the same, all white americans are the same, etc. etc. etc. At one point, there were 27 different tribes in England, not one color. Nigeria today has four major tribes, and many MANY minor tribes within the country. They aren't all BLACK.

Yeah, that's racialism, man, the idea that humankind can be conveniently divided down into distinct subcategories based on a few easily accessible superficial characteristics (skin colour, eye shape, whatever). In reality what genomics is increasingly showing beyond doubt is that we're all more or less a mixture and humankind is on a genetic and phenotypic continuum. Course there are local variations due to evolutionary pressures, geographical isolation, available resources and so on, but to talk about 'superiority' or 'inferiority' makes no sense whatsoever.

I've made this point with colonization as well. The 4 original races are nowhere near what they were when they emerged from the primordial ooze, and there isn't a single tribe of people (ironically, other than the Israelites) that are on the land that they are indigenous to. Each tribe moved and pushed the tribe that was originally there to new land. People also like to pick and choose when it comes to colonization. I've seen it argued that when the Moors conquered Sardina, Corsica, Sicily, etc. that it was different because it wasn't rooted in Capitalism. Which is....a new one

What happened to your Ubeja account?

If I told ya the story you wouldn't believe me.

Sprinting is about rhythm now?


Sounds racist.

Where did I mention sprinting, I was talking about running backs, this is a black thing, a rhythm thing.

[Emerson Periott]

Bottom line is I rattle off 100 black 100m sprinters before we find a white cat who deserves mention.

Can rattle off a 100 black pro running backs before we see a white guy who belongs,

Basketball?

This is crazy.

Black dudes tend to be longer limbed and have a slightly higher center of gravity. Possibly when people migrated to colder climates there was evolutionary (or 'adaptive' if that's to your taste) pressure towards features that would reduce heat loss... so shorter limbs and longer bodies, alongside the reduction in the production of eumelanin since there was less need for UV protection.

Yes, adaptive is different than evolved. I absolutely believe that we adapt.
