Scientists Find DNA Change Accounting for White Skin (White People "Greatest Cause of Strife"!)
Washington Post ^ | 1/28/11 | Rick Weiss

Posted on 01/30/2011 5:47:11 PM PST by Williams

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.

But I thought EVERY characteristic trait was an exhibition of genetic mutation through evolution!!

So now the claim is that “non-whites” are the “real” and “original” ...shh, I’m afraid to say it... “Creation” and that whites are a mutation from evolution?

What a bunch of truly stupid people.

I'm a flippin' mutant! Awesome!

It's time to cut back on some of these grants for "scientists". They obviously have too much free time on their hands.

Only a history illiterate could believe that conflicts between whites and non whites is “one of humanity’s greatest causes of strife”!

There have been unending wars among whites only, Asians only, and Africans only throughout history. Countless examples of wars between all races, including wars launched against whites by non-whites. To identify the creation of white people as one of the greatest sources of strife is maniacal racism.

....one of biology's most enduring mysteries

White skin is an enduring mystery??? What about black skin? No "mystery" at all? Less enduring? Not biological?

The self loathing-enlightened liberal syndrome. They are holier than thou, more enlightened than thou, but they despise their on race and culture, which brought them security and prosperity.

And the WP even got a guy named “Weiss” to write this article. He’s probably ashamed of his name.

The Chinese are next of kin to the Europeans ~ the two separated a mere 35,000 years ago. Their genetic mechanism for light skin is different than the one used in white folk or, the other white people, the Neanderthals!

Boy these scientists are such delicate flowers about a scientific discovery.

I haven't seen this much hand wringing and pearl clutching since Groucho Marx goosed Margaret Dumont

Sounds like something coming from those whacko followers of Farakhan. Whites as degenerate mutants and the root of evil...
