White Genetically Weaker Than Blacks, Study Finds

Fox News ^ | Friday, February 22, 2008

White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University-led study finds.

Researchers analyzed the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans.

The Europeans showed much less variation among 10,000 tested genes than did the Africans, which was expected, but also that Europeans had many more possibly harmful mutations than did African, which was not.

[Augustinian monk]

I knew whitey was evil, but now we know its genetic. LOL

[Blue Turtle]

..and whites are genetically smarter than blacks.

[Puppage]

Wow! A whole 35 people?

[RatherBiased.com]

Such a large sample size. Must be true!

[mnehrling]

We are all mutts..

[Oratam]

Jimmy the Greek due an apology, no?

[ClearCase_guy]

A serious scientific study, with which all well-intentioned people will have to agree. There is consensus, the books are closed, this is a done deal. Blacks are better than whites.

In other news, scientists say that whites have higher IQs than blacks.

And that would be hateful, racist, clearly wrong, and those scientists should be deprived of all access to government grants for the rest of their lives.

[RightWhale]

Best to not push the issue too hard. Like letting sleeping dogs sleep.

[Clemenza]

Yes, and Ashkenazic Jews show less "genetic diversity" yet have, arguably, the highest average IQ on the planet.

What a load of merde. There are just as many, if not more, arguments to be made AGAINST "hybrid vigor" than for it.

The argument in this study is similar to arguing that a mutt is genetically superior to a purebread Jack Russell.

[Tut]

I can only wonder how much such a study cost and the reasons they gave for having such study.

In the end..... what good does it do?

[indcons]

Possible GGG ping?

[Condor51]

Yeah, yeah. And we can't dunk either.

But we can swim. I'll take swimming over dunking a basketball. /s

[A CA Guy]

Race baiting study IMO.

[Sig Sauer P220]

I will say this, black guys look a hell of a lot better bald than white guys. I’ve never seen a shaved head on a black guy that didn’t look better than having hair. Most white guys with shaved heads look like chemo patients.

Paging Jimmy the Greek...

"Jimmy the Greek due an apology, no?"

My first thought exactly!!

[JillValentine]

If this is true, are white people going to get affirmative action programs to “help ‘em out”? And are they going to get “hate crime” laws to give them special protection?

[wideawake]

In any random group of 15 Americans classified as "African-Americans", at least 10 will have some European ancestry, while in a random group of 20 Americans classified as "white", you will likely get 19 or 20 of exclusively European ancestry.

So clearly the African-American group will have European plus African genetics and be more "diverse."

In terms of "weakness" as measured by number "harmful mutations", it only takes one mutation - spread out amongst the group - to really weaken it. Like sickle-cell.

[EveningStar]

TaЯd ping!

"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

[drc43]

Well this certainly explains the superiority of African Civilization over Western Countries.

I always wondered just what was the secret of their constant success.

[massgopguy]

It’s called the Three Point Line.

[Just mythoughts]

Whattttt, how is this possible????? I have been told and continue to be told that alllllll peoples of this earth are children of Adam and Eve.... Just when did this diversity begin????

[puroresu]

We are all mutts

Then there should be just as much chance for a white couple in Iceland to produce a black baby as there is for a black couple in Mozambique to produce one.

[JillValentine]

I was being sarcastic. Being of mixed-race, I learned very early just how stupid racial-identity politics are.

Why are so many “scientists” (and I use the term loosely) getting into this crap? I know it’s politically correct, but even Bill Clinton, the “first black president,” said that Sister Souljah was as evil and racist as David Duke.

[expatguy]

"..and whites are genetically smarter than blacks"

Careful there - you might send some leftist into a blood-lusting frenzy.

[isrul]

so how come we’re always hearing about blacks being more susceptible to this or that condition or disease?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Jimmy the Greek due an apology, no?

Jimmy did not belong to a protected minority group.

He's lucky we let him live.

Yeah. they're drawing up the Hate Speech indictments against y'all this very minute.

And the ACLPyoo is filing a suit with the FCC to have Free Republic yanked from the internet and the entire membership arrested.

[Nervous Tick]

>> But we can swim. I’ll take swimming over dunking a basketball.

You do realize, don’t you, that white guys swimming and black guys dunking is directly related to the weak/strong thing?

See, white sperm HAVE to be able to swim better, so more will reach the egg faster, because they’re less adept at “dunking” ... er, I mean, punching through.

Isn’t pseudoscience fascinating?

[Myrddin]

My annual performance review doesn't include any evaluation of my genetic strength or diversity. My boss just cares that my performance is top quality, on time and under budget.

Have a look at Africa. I don't see much evidence that this comparison translates into success on any level.

[ConservativeDude]

Mr. Clean?

[isrul]

Helps raise self esteem of those who follow the eternally, oppressed, black persuasion. And it is black history month (a day longer his year)

[albie]

Geeez! 1st I thought I sucked because I’m white, male, rich, selfish and white! Now I’m weak too?! Gosh, what’s next? Oh yeah...reperations.

[ConservativeDude]

You are so very very bad.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Mr. Clean?

Sure, throw in the one exception.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots,

Finally! I know why I don’t like diversity!

[KC_Conspirator]

Cornell study? Who? Cornell West?

[Paleo Conservative]

Researchers analyzed the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans.

Wow, the t-distribution for 19 degrees of freedom has rather wide confidence intervals.

[OpusatFR]

That’s pretty good for genetically inferior people who managed to take over the world.

[Fiddlstix]

Researchers analyzed the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans.

WoW!
Now that is what you call a clear, concise, comprehensive, all inclusive, completely scientific study if ever there was one!
No doubt about it!
Done deal!
'Nuff Said!

[Turret Gunner A20]

To tell you the truth, I’m kinda ‘TARD’ of the whole stupid foolishness — what does it accomplish?

[Aria]

You’re mixed race? Are you healthier than most people you know?

I’m half Hispanic and half Anglo Saxon. My mother always said this made us healthier. When all my friends got the flu or colds I stayed healthy and that is pretty much true to this day. Not that I haven’t had my problems, but maybe not as many as most of my friends.

[Age of Reason]

..and whites are genetically smarter than blacks.

If someone scientist published the reverse, he'd be hailed.

[Sopater]

The argument in this study is similar to arguing that a mutt is genetically superior to a purebread Jack Russell.

The point is that genetic diversity is therefore more genetically "strong", and thus, natural selection weakens the genetic strength of a population.

[Sopater]

We are all mutts..

... tis true.

[VeniVidiVici]

Rats. And I was doing so well on the Colt 45 and Kools.

[The Toll]

Did we just get “served”?

[Jorge]

Well this explains why whites dominated the world.
