"Scientists said yesterday that they have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology's most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity's greatest sources of strife."

White skin is one of "humanity's greatest sources of strife," huh?

What racist garbage.

That was my reaction too. The WASHPOST is letting their bias show again. Somebody get this to Rush and the other talk show hosts out there.

I agree; BS garbage.

"Liberals" came out of the segregated South and the KKK. That is the fact of their history. Don't be suprised that they found power in hating a different race and reorganizing society to attack that race. They are just plain debasers and haters. They hate Christian white people the most.

[fragrant abuse]

Nah, I think the article is saying that racial differences are the "source of strife", not white skin per se. Until this mutation, the article says, everyone was black.

Talk about misreading. The author was talking about "race" not "white skin."

Well, it's true. You wouldn't have racism of any kind of people all looked the same. You'd still have plenty of other problems, just not racism.
