Why do I expect the white tribe to be just a bunch of blue collar, high school educated, underachievers? Why do I expect the black tribe to be overwhelmingly college educated?
This was taken from a post at - Amren - in the Survivor thread. Iam in total disagreement regarding the blue collar types. Yes, we need intellectuals, theorists, academicians, scientists,writers,philosophers andjounalists etc. The white race has produced men of quality at every level. Some are remarkably gifted and talented in several areas.
Now, if I was lost on a deserted island with a group of people, I can honestly say I would love to have blue collar types with me. They'd be able to use their skills and make the place habitable. Can you imagine being stuck with a bunch of corporate lawyers, salesmen, media analysts, publicists, histrorians, politicians, movie critics, college professors and fashion designers? All would be dead within a few weeks.
I have friends who can wallpaper theirhomes with degrees and honors, but have no clue which end of a hammer to use. Some of them have absolutely - Zero - mechanical ability! My best friend had more degrees than a thermometer but once called his sister to show him how to use a jack.She removed theflattire and put on the spare!He couldn't unscrew a light bulb if his life depended on it.
