cgroupman,

I have a question for you. If some genetic study showed that sub saharan blacks do have lower inante cognitive ability with say mathematics (statisical sense of course), what would be your reaction?

I'm really not sure, I would guess I would have to look more at the Darwinian evolution vs. the race here in the U.S.

The ancient Egyptians were black, dark skinned, and they did pretty well with their congnitive skills. The geography of where a human developed is primary in their skin color of course. The colder climates spawned lighter skin etc. It would seem that the 'best' skin color might be in the middle. We may get there some day.

I think the best skin color is the one that enables survival where you live, I don't believe skin color has much to do with the brain. Evolutionary pressures for brain development seemed to have something to do with amount of meat in diet, the survival pressures of the surroundings, and the skull's flexibility in the birth canal.

Do you understand that socialism removes any evolutionary pressures for brain development? The stupid are breeding at faster rates thanks to gov't programs.

That's quite a leap. Although, when I see some of the people on the Judge Judy type shows, of both races, I wonder sometimes.

I think the Germans were pretty smart, and the Russians, under Communism, kept up pretty well in the Space Race and other ventures.

I'm not a fan of Socialism, and I despise much of what welfare does. I just don't like the categorizing and labeling that goes on.

Heck, I lose my money on Indian reservation casino's, my way of paying reparations I guess. We, as a Nation, either did things directly, or by way of looking the other way, did things that negatively impacted a couple of entire segments of the population. Not sure how to explain the white guys on Judge Judy. A little bit of sarcasm here.

Sorry for the bad sentence structure, pretty distracted right now.

According to the factual statistics they were not that great. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

I don't either.

An inconvenient truth for the leftists.

Keep in mind much of Russian's technology was copied and or stolen.

I imagine the 250 or so bomber crewmen lost while under their protection would disagree.

They lost 25 bombers in 15,533 combat sorties and 1578 missions

What other units with that amount of combat sorties and missions loss 25 bombers or less ?

They weren't that much of a factor. Nothing you say will change that. Hell before doing some research for this thread even I thought they were more significant than it turns out they really were. They DO deserve some credit though and I'd be honored to shake hands with anyone one of them. But the statistics speak for themselves. Their biggest battle was with racism and prejudice.

This movie is almost nothing but a Hollywood white guilt trip.
