Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Your arguments are based in racism and ignorance....and of course comparing human beings to animals...
It's interesting the way liberals appeal to science when it suits their purposes, but shun it when contradicts them.
Scientifically, there is no reason at all to view humans as anything BUT animals.
Personally, I think it is clear that we are partly animals, but I also think we are more than just animals. That of course, is an unsubstantiated belief; in my case, one informed by religion. On what basis do liberals, who typically do not profess religious views -- often going to pains to belittle them -- consider humans as more than animals? The point of this thread then stands; the same liberals WWF folks think some varieties of animal are worth preserving, others are not. Indeed, they go a step further than me -- to them, leopards would appear to be above humans.
Racism is not a natural instinct, it is a product of cultural conditioning and ignorance.
Well, you are bound to believe that, of course. The evidence largely refutes you, not that I think you will care. Browsing through some liberal-penned "race and intelligence" works at my university library, there is an abundance of the most bizarre and unlikely ad hoc arguments all diligently trying to refute the sturdiest of scientific evidence that race and racial differences are real and genetic. Always enough there to lay to rest the mind of hysterical anti-racists such as yourself. To the rest of us, it appears as truth-denial in its finest form.
But what is this ignorance you speak of? Any perusal of our exchanges would seem to have
me consistently exposing
your ignorance of even the most fundamental aspects of the race debate.
Just like what is considered beauty is a product of cultural conditioning...not instinct.
See above.
No one is born with racist instincts.
That obviously depends on what you mean by "racist". The evidence demonstrates that the youngest children can unmistakably identify themselves and other young children on the basis of race. What they make of such differences is another matter, but even there the evidence again -- clearly -- demonstrates that children self-segregate themselves on the basis of race.
It has been remarked before that the liberal insistence on cultural explanations would have the state snatching our babies from the womb before nefarious "racist" culture seizes control of their minds. All quite insane, but it's what liberal thought leads to.
Even if racism -- against all odds -- is all cultural, what are the chances anything can actually be done about it? Americans have been trying their damndest for the last fifty years to make race cease to matter, and yet the problem is said to still be pervasive. Culture appears to be resilient stuff. We appear no more likely to alter it than to alter genes. Even less likely now with the advent of the internet, since larger numbers than every before can be exposed to the flawed assumptions that liberal society rests on. It's time to pack it in.
