You don’t want to explore the human condition and find how it is shaped?
You want it to go away along with all its socially uncomfortable consequences?
Denial.
I don’t want to see, the mind screams. It may hurt my eyes.
What a perfect display of the modern mind.
If it makes me sad, I don’t want to know about it.
But why does it make me sad? Have I, perchance, been trained to react with sadness to it, like Pavlovian dog?
Is nature happy?
What a contradictor you are.
It is highly unlikely that the major races would disappear through mixed marriages. Humans are too static and racial emigrants will simply be absorbed into the majority.
And why do you go on to say it’s not worth discussing it after admitting its existence? And why did you even mention racial preservation?
tut tut.
An interesting bit.
Has all this human meddling caused a natural backlash or is this the natural consequence of uniformity?
Nature despises stagnation. The universe cannot tolerate no change.
And looky there…the scientists studied Europeans, Africans and Asians…Are they implying that this groups exist?
Nice try, Satyr.
Did the peanut butter guy make money?
Cool.
Happy hunting.
Did he?
Does it matter?
This display has been enlightening, to me.
Equating the inventor of Peanut Butter with a Sartre or a pop-idol with an Einstein or a politician with a meta-physician was the height of absurdity.
Not one could be found to represent Negro intelligence and they scrambled for American modern historical social activist, pop-figures and T.V. personalities.
This after they tried to redefine the Egyptians, and Cleopatra, as a Negro civilization.
Once they failed they tried to deny the existence of such a distinction as race.
Well, then shall we deny the existence of type or species or ancestry?
My absolute favorite band is Rush. I’m sure you know what that means about my affinity for only American artists, eh?
The Oprah remark isn’t a personal attack. You said genius influences history. Oprah has influenced more people than you. That would make her more intelligent. I wasn’t saying it was a good argument, I was just using yours.
No problem, but I’ll post the link up to a thread I’m making in the social science section where this belongs.
Also, I plan on giving a reason why there is no African Aristotle. It’s intuitively obvious.
Why are you so angry? Hmm…maybe you’re falling victim to defending your theories to the death because you can’t live with being wrong? This idea is incomplete, but your style responses are where the idea came from. I was just trying to engage in conversation because you have interesting things to say, I wasn’t trying to start a ‘no you’re a fool’ war.
Can’t wait to hear this. Should be engaging.
No it would make the people she influences with her simplicity, more stupid than her.
I’m sure that’s what it was.
You sound smart.
Michael Jackson?!!!
Bill Cosby?!
Dear God you made me laugh.
I think many things are “intuitively obvious” to you.
When reason is what you lack, intuition is all you’ve got to go by.
Tell me, does it have to do with being oppressed?
That’s it. And you’ve proven me wrong, right?
No the anger is mostly frustration at having to deal with minds like yours.
The kind that spits out inanities and presents them as worthy challenges.
Obama?!!!
A genius?
Oh Jesus, you made my day.
You were trying to make a name for yourself.
Was Hitler a genius?
No, he probably falls into the evil genius category.
I can hardly contain myself. The anticipation is excruciating.
If it’s anything like his list of Negro geniuses it’ll be an entertaining piece.
I’m surprised Sammy Davis Jr. was not on the list.
Before his time, perhaps.
What about Ol’Dirty Bastard? He was pretty influential. A genius no less than Curly from the three stooges.
Ha ha! =D>
Loved this too:
I know. Ironic, right?
Ok Satyr, here you go.
Now, before you start splitting my thread up into paragraphs and refuting each one, remember that I actually agree with you on most everything you said. The only thing I disagree with is imposing an ‘intelligence limit’ on everyone in a race.
Try reading it without so much hate and desire to spite; it facilitates meaningful discourse. In other words, I’ll listen to what you have to say. If you really want to be around less ‘minds like mine’ you’ll try to change them patiently (especially when you’ve only interacted with people once or twice like me).
I was thinknig pathetic, but if you’re addicted to positive thinking, go with that.
Tell you what, given your excuses in the other thread, because of course you couldn’t include them here, you had to make it about you, let’s wait, now that Negroes have a written tradition, oh for how many centuries now, for that elusive Negro genius.
Until then let’s consider Tyra Banks an intellectual icon of Negro thought.
And oh what a pair of tits and what an ass on that genius, huh?!
She’s influential, right?
At least to the obtuse and the simple.
To a dog a ten year old human being is a genius.
To an adult, a ten year old is immature and simple.
Perspective.
Now where did that Chato go with all his feel-good, politically-correct, healthy functional answers?
I was trying to make it stand alone as much as possible so other people could read it as is. I still included your thread so people could see the other perspective. If they’re too lazy to read both and just agree with the first one they read I’m sure you’ll agree their opinion isn’t worth it.
So, I could direct it all at your thread if you want, but I don’t really see the point.
Satyr - I know and you know I know and I know you know I…
I would take the peanut butter guy over Sartre in a heartbeat. At least he made a contribution to life.
There is one, and only one most articulate speaker of the english language, and I think she is an African-american. I mean, she is as far as I know. Seems to have a french name, though. So much for language.
Perhaps the greatest athlete of all time was also a brilliant man, a man of principle and conviction, a man that, if I had children, I would make sure they knew about. Because his greatness transcended sport. It transcend nationality, religion, fame, and all that crap. So much for athletics.
Hendrix is God. So much for religion.
I don’t know who the smartest person in the world is. He or she is probably smart enough to stay the fuck away from all of us, though.
So much for collecting feathers.
Don’t worry - no one’s going to get it, anyway.
I want your thesis to stand alone.
What a pathetic debater he was.
After all the evidence he was presented with he didn’t even have the courtesy to acknowledge it.
Just mumbled some drivel and ran off.
According to your estimations Sartre’s insights fall second to a bread spread?
Oh how did we survive before?
What should I put on this piece of toast to make it tasty?
Fuck the human condition and human awareness, I want something to go with my jelly!!!
Oh my the horror of a naked piece of toast.
I’m thinking of inventing a bread-spread using vodka flavored orange peels. The screwbutter.
That solves it, rhetoric wins.
An entire British nation and one black chick speaks English the best.
I once heard a parrot speak English…what a genius?
And we all know how your assessments on morality and how being principles constitute genius.
Case closed. Listening to him play the Star Spangled Banner on electric guitar can never be matched by a Bach or a Mozart.
We’ll have to look towards Africa.
They’ve got the written word now - we gave it to them. Maybe it’ll be a Negro woman.
Now that’ll be great.
I told you. No intelelctual integrity and a coward.
Satyr -
Oh, never mind.
faust…forget it.
