Ok, I agree with you here.
Given that we all started from Africa (which these days is being questioned by a few people) over a long period of time there would be an accumulation of many genetic changes to individuals.
Surely all of these miniscule changes would add up and create major attributes that could easily identify a race of people not only at a visual glance but on a genetic one? Just how you can see difference between Nigerian people and Somalian people, or German people and Russians, or Mongolian and Japanese people.
At this point you can not claim that those changes are insignifican as how you did earlier in the conversation. IF we all come out of African origin, and you look at a person from africa and compare them to a chinese person, there is no way you can make any valid claim that they are the same people, with insignificant genetic differences. Unless your idea of genetic differences is something along the basic lines of "they got a skeleton and blood flowing through them, and anything else is an insignificant difference".
But with such logic you can say a horse is the same as a whale, only with small insignificant biological differences.
insignificant as in I don't give a shit. Not enough of a difference that matters in the big picture of things.
Things like that is what really matters.
Human beings SEEK "EXPERIENCES" which in more important than physcial traits in my view.
For Example: COVID is a physical sickness. But what is going on.
Our social and mental health is being destoryed. So in a way.... we are already dead.
Comparing a Whale vs Horse
Vs
Black Man vs White Man
That's apple to oranges man.
You cannot do organ transplants between a Horse and Whale.
You can do them between a Black Man vs White Man
Well, its not about how you feel or the way you perceive it, its about the way its treated by science.
Nothing to do with our conversation.
Horse to whale comparison was to show that your logic of ignoring clearly visible and distinguished differences on biological and ethnic level of people as insignificant can be applied in exactly the same way to a horse and a whale comparison.
You can also transplant pigs heart into a mans body with less rejection rate than that of white to black or black to white donors have...
Here is the best to describe.
Your "SCIENCE" point of view on this. Is USELESS information for the most part.
Is any of that going to
You get the point here. I am an engineer.
So I like tech and science. Until the science is actually practical.
It's unless.
What is your point in all of this?
Are you trying to sell me on the idea that ethnic differences are HUGE?
To me.. they are not a big deal. Very small in the big picture of things.
My white software engineering friends. I have more in common then my black friends back at home.
Of course there are physical differences. BUT WHO CARES!!
I DON'T
And noone should, I agree with you here. From reading what you said earlier in response to original post, my point was to show that broken family structure could not account for being the only problem in the black community, as you agreed with me yourself that over period of 1000s and 1000s of years people would develop different genetic traits. And maybe one of those traits could have an affect on the behaviour of those people (be it black, white or brown, doesnt matter)
Which is why we should be allowed to talk about race and difference on genetic level more openly without it being attributed to "racism". Cant solve the problem if you can not talk openly about the problem or if you deny its existence.(Me using the word "you" in here refers to the average person, not yourself in particular)
Im not trying to sell you anything, I think if there are genetic differences to the people, we should be able to explore the reasons for them and the consequences/effect they have on the people.
People can chose to ignore reality, but they can not ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
I appreciate your civility and participation in this conversation.
WWG1WGA!
How is that weed dude? You still smoking?
