The subject of abortion reminded me to look:

Exclusive – D’Souza: The Hitler-Sanger Connection

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, has an ignoble legacy as a racist who addressed the Ku Klux Klan and initiated a Negro Project to reduce the population of poor, uneducated African Americans whom she considered unfit to reproduce themselves.

Oddly, the article that ICR seems to be referencing and which was released on October 12, 2017, doesn’t particularly reflect the creationist conclusions. Genes responsible for diversity of human skin colors identified. A portion of the study dealing with the age of some gene variations are quoted: “The team saw evidence that this region of the genome has been a strong target of natural selection outside of Africa; mutations associated with light skin color swept to nearly 100 percent frequency in non-Africans, one of few examples of a "selective sweep" in all Eurasians; the age of the selective sweep was estimated to be around 60,000 to 80,000 years old, around the time of migration of modern humans out of Africa. One additional takeaway from this work is a broader picture of the evolution of skin color in humans. Most of the genetic variants associated with light and dark pigmentation from the study appear to have originated more than 300,000 years ago, and some emerged roughly 1 million years ago, well before the emergence of modern humans. The older version of these variants in many cases was the one associated with lighter skin, suggesting that perhaps the ancestral state of humans was moderately pigmented rather than darkly pigmented skin.“

“which beat whitey-white nations like Iceland by 4 to 8 IQ points.”

Yes, they did, but 4-8 points is noise not a competitive difference.

“Something to think about.”

It called the dumbing down of America. The dumb among us set the standards. So, back to your point that IQ means something but it isn’t everything. Ya gotta use it for it to count.

God created one human race. He didn’t say what color their skin was, because it doesn’t matter.

All racial differences are the result of local adaption and population isolation.

As populations increasingly interact, the racial differences will disappear. And the racial grievance industry will be out of business.

“Now where do you suppose he got that rediculous idea?

Philadelphia? Chicago? It has to be one of the two.

The end of the book, Malcolm “woke up and smelled the coffee” and realized it was wrong to hate like he used to. Then he was assassinated.

That’s culture + epigenetics, not race.

[fishtank]

Good post.

I think that the activities of the Jewish people and the Chinese, coupled with bilingual (Hebrew + a mother tongue) Bible scholarship and an intricate written language, respectively, have had a compounded beneficial effect on both of those people groups (in general).

(Long run on sentence, I know, sorry for that.)

Degeneracy is cross-cultural.

haha!!!

Hey do you do this

You think only the south thought blacks inferior

Everyone did even some abolitionists

Which ‘Biblical Narrative’ is being confirmed.

At the end of Genesis 1, Moses penned from the Creator, that the Creator rested on the 7th day. Now, of course, Peter tells us how the Creator measures time in II Peter 3: 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The days of creation were thousand of years, and at the end of 7 thousand years, Moses penned this...

Genesis 2: 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, ****and there was not a man to till the ground.*****

How is it that if every one is claimed to have come from the Genesis 1 creation, could it be, there was NO man to till the ground on the 8 day?

History records the ‘age’ of the hunter/gathers before ‘farming’ came on the scene.

The Bible narrative from Genesis through Revelation repeatedly teaches, there were two different days of ‘creation’ of flesh humans. Something that never gets addressed is that we are NOT told when the Creator created all souls/spirit intellect’... And Moses pens that the flesh man Adam was not living until the ‘breath of life’ which means soul, was breathed into his nostrils.

By the way what does the name Adam mean in the Hebrew?

Further, Noah was elected because he and his family were ‘perfect in their generations’.... 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Why was there a flood?

Genesis 6

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Amos 8:11 11Behold, the days come, saith the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

That famine is global... and God said He would send it.

I see from this list that the US IQ average is 98, 10 points below Singapore at 108.

That's not a statistical sneeze.
