Hall of Famer
I have never been one to say that different races don't have genetic differences. I just happen to believe in the out of Africa theory which is now strongly supported by DNA evidence. Sure it is very possible in the 80,000 years that Sub Sahara Africa was cut off from the people who migrated eventually to Europe that us whites evolved better critical thinking skills.
I happen to believe that there is a racial math and science gap, not that people of African decent can't understand math and science at all; they are just not quite as good at it. The whole idea that blacks can't function in society when they are raised in a proper home is ridiculous IMO. I happen to believe also that the problem with blacks is more along the lines of bad coping skills and impulsiveness. They don't function well when the going gets tough. I believe in small differences in the human race. To say that blacks are a different sub-species like many on this board claim is upsetting to my stomach.
Certainly every group has negative and positive traits though, if you look hard enough. I am certainly not a fan of rap culture and wouldn't date a black woman, but that doesn't mean I hate blacks as I tend to think some on this board do.
If I recall Reggie White "The Minister of Defense" said it best in a positive light. He described different good qualities that different groups had and still got in trouble with the PC media. Something like: Blacks are very spiritual and are loyal to their friends. Whites as a group are a very hard working people. Asians are a very respectful people...Italians are very family oriented...etc.etc. He got in trouble for speaking the truth, even though he spoke with love.
