    Race is a Myth

    Arnold Toynbee writes in his study of civilizations about the Black Magi, imagine for a moment if that were done today? The cries would come, 'political correctness'. It would be equivalent to 'happy holiday', which while a sign of respect for others has been made into a weapon to confuse and divide. Images and words so dominate the American mind today, thought is nowhere to be found. Whenever I have informed readers of the fact race is myth, their heads spin. They cannot accept an obvious truth demonstrated in our daily life with marriage and family. But race is a great divider, I will give the powers that be that. Education continues to fail Americans and many appear to like it that way.

    "Our modern Western race-feeling was unknown in the Western Society in earlier times and has failed to assert itself in certain sections of this Western Society down to this day. During the so-called 'Dark Ages' and 'Middle Ages' - that is to say, during the ten centuries ending in about the last quarter of the fifteenth century of our era - the members of the Western Society, when they thought of Mankind as a whole, were accustomed to divide the human family into two categories, as we divide it nowadays. The principle of division, however, was utterly different. Instead of dividing Mankind, as we do, into white people and coloured people, our forefathers divided it into Christians and heathen; and we are bound to confess that their dichotomy was better than ours both intellectually and morally. It was better intellectually because a human being's religion is a vastly more important and significant factor in his life than the colour of his skin, and is therefore a vastly better criterion for purposes of classification. Again, the dichotomy into Christians and heathen is better morally than the dichotomy into white and coloured, because the gulf between religions, unlike the gulf between races, is not impassable. It is a division between sheep in the fold and sheep astray on the mountains, not between sheep and goats....In the eyes of the medieval Western Christian, when he looked abroad upon the world, the heathen, wandering unkempt in the wilderness, were neither incurably unclean nor irretrievably lost. Potentially, they were Christians like himself and he looked forward to the time when all lost sheep would be gathered into the fold.... " p91 'A Study of History' Abridged edition, Arnold Joseph Toynbee

    'The Sapient Paradox'

    "Archaeogenetic analysis of this kind is now widespread in anthropology and archaeology. It has been used to study the origin of specific languages and language families by considering the genetic relationships of their speakers. It has been used on the mtDNA from the bones of Neanderthal fossils to consider their relationship with our own species, and it has been used very effectively to consider the dates and the routes of the human dispersal or dispersals out of Africa.

    The picture was summarized by the geneticist Peter Forster in 2004 in a clear and coherent way. On the basis of rntDNA analysis it can be asserted that all living humans are closely related, and descended from ancestors living in Africa some two hundred thousand [p77] years ago. Studies of the mutation rates for mtDNA now permit an approximate chronology that ties in reasonably well with the radiometric dating available for fossil remains. It turns out that our species did indeed emerge in Africa and that the "our-of-Africa" scenario is correct. The first and principal dispersal of humans ancestral to the living humans of today took place about sixty thousand years ago. The earliest fossil remains of Homo sapiens in Indonesia and Australia around forty-five thousand years ago support this view. 'The remarkable feature of all this DNA work illuminating the deep human past is that the work is based upon modern samples taken from living populations, and the analysis of these samples allows the reconstruction of prehistory: our past within us.

    The results have further implications whose significance has not yet been sufficiently appreciated. In the first place the humans who dispersed out of Africa (as well as those who remained) were all very closely related. The physical (or racial) distinctions between different human groups in the world today must presumably have begun to develop from the time following The initial out-of-Africa dispersal of sixty thousand years ago. It is clear now that the human groups outside Africa are all descended from what are termed mtDNA haplogroups M. and N. It is possible now to follow in outline the story of the peopling of the globe by our species following this dispersal, using the evidence of mtDNA. The arrival of humans in Europe some forty thousand years ago can be traced-as can the first human population in America, although there is controversy there as to whether the results show a human arrival before about eighteen thousand years ago."

    K. I better not catch you referring to anyone as racist or crying racism over any events.

    Deal?

    Here I thought race was a social construct like gender!


    Instead of dividing Mankind, as we do, into white people and coloured people, our forefathers divided it into Christians and heathen...
    Sure, us vs them, civilized behind the walls vs the barbarians outside.

    But Europeans, Asians, too, dis back then divide by race. Just that then race meant much more than superficial skin color. It had to do with a people, in a place, who looked and spoke and thought similarly, with the same traditions, customs, and institutions.
    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    I watched a fascinating documentary some years ago about this very thing. By studying the genetics of living populations, they have been able to trace the path those people took in their migrations from Africa, and have even been able to determine the region where they started and what they probably looked like.

    What does the Out of Africa Theory have to do with a supposed myth of race? Yes, all humans are all closely related. We also share 97% of our DNA with chimpanzees. Hell, I shared more than 50% of my DNA with my dinner.

    That's because you have two sets of kooks who tend to crowd out any voice of reason: people who insist the concept of race has no validity (usually the same people who are always talking about racism) and hard core racists.

    Everything is arbitrary like race, gender, whatever lately since people can just randomly pick whatever they want to be and moonbat state legislatures are complying with this...

    ...unless it can be used as a political weapon then race, gender, etc. is all the shizzle.

    Progresso utopia, hooray...

    Totally agree, when folks are rioting and looting, anyone out there that may have a tan are considered black, whereas people want to make sure to mention that Obama is half-white when the mood suits them. Funny how that works, no?
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”
