Should the idea of Race be immediately dropped? (Page 2)

[TheAfrikan]

Yes it should be dunce we all fall under the same radar of humanity @OddBeMe.

But what would all the libtards endlessly complain about?

[Kingofkings1992]

I’m afraid that’s something you can’t just throw by the way side…

[Subarugirl]

…. there is scientific difference though

[OddBeMe]

tell me more

[Subarugirl]

Examples of genetic conditions that are more common in particular ethnic groups are sickle cell disease, which is more common in people of African, African American, or Mediterranean heritage; and Tay-Sachs disease, which is more likely to occur among people of Ashkenazi (eastern and central European) Jewish or French Canadian ancestry. There is also the affect of differing in appearance. People with darker skin are more resilient to the harmful affects of sun exposure, while redheads are more likely to be less receptive to anesthesia.

[OddBeMe]

isn't that environmental

[Subarugirl]

No, it’s genetic

[OddBeMe]

Genes evolved by pressure from environment. “Race” would say blacks in America and in Africa share the same traits.

[Msputiton]

@OddBeMe yes. Blacks born and raised in America for generations still get sickle cell.
It is gentic not environment.

[OddBeMe]

@Msputiton do blacks in other parts of the world get sickle cell too? If not wouldn’t that mean environmental causes?

[Massageman]

We're one race - human.

[OddBeMe]

true, but there's been a historical element we have to account for, right?

[Massageman]

I don't think we have "to account" for anything. History is history. Let's focus on today.

[OddBeMe]

Easier to say if your ancestors didn’t start 500 feet behind you on the starting line. Domino effect.

[Gal67]

God yes, I'm SO sick of hearing about it!

[joeldalton]

Good idea. You start.

[Joker_]

If race was dropped, how could I remain racist?

[msc545]

There are many social differences, so no.

[Diodoro]

Ideas don't die

[Mehzmeh]

Most definitely!!!

[SmokinAces2000]

No..

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope.
