Sure you have, and didn’t someone post some months ago that on your Twitter feed you retweet American Renaissance and VDare? True?
Richard Spencer commented about how America has siphoned off indias cognitive elite through immigration and I retweeted it.
I did not quote him here as my hero or whatever disingenuous framing Aragorn was going for
Better question : why are you weirdos going on my personal social media? Are you stalking me?
That’s a helpful admission re: Spencer, exactly what we knew to be true. What about American Renaissiance and VDare? That’s true, too, right? Retweeting them?
(I don’t have Twitter.)

What exactly is your point? I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to get at?
More guilt by association fallacy?
So, it’s true, right?
And this evidence is what exactly? The “evidence” that convinced you specifically.
This is the funniest thing I have read, and shows me the “raj…” at least has a sense humor. As a scientist, I’ve never seen anyone demonstrate, so succinctly and repeatably, a complete lack of unstanding of science as “raj”. And having taught undergraduate and graduate level chemistry at a University for 15 years, that’s saying something.

I wish I could say the same…but you haven’t seen Zeppelin’s threads on vaccines/stem cells yet. Zeppelin makes raj look positively enlightened regarding science, and that is a scary thought because of precisely what you just said here! On a related note, stay away from the “Maybe SOME good news from the FDA” thread–it will give you a headache.

The world couldn’t take it. Universe ending paroxysms of nonsense would follow. Or I’d have an aneurysm…one of the two.

I would love to see them go head to head on an important contemporary issue like “You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!” vs. “You got your chocolate in MY peanut butter!”.

Late 19th century Englishmen would be aghast at the idea of lumping them together with the Irish, which shows that @therajraj racist fantasy about a “culturally NW European society” is a fairly recent invention.
If one looks at the spectacularly offensive 19th century US political cartoons in the link below one can see that the Irish were considered for all practical purposes non-White.
Anti Irish cartoons for magazines such as Harper’s Weekly featured cartoons by Thomas Nast and depicted Irish immigrants as ape-like barbarians prone to lawlessness, laziness and drunkenness. “St. Patrick’s Day, 1867…Rum, Blood, The Day We Celebrate” shows a riot with policemen and ape-like Irishmen.
It just shows the fluidity of the us vs. the immigrants mentality - I’m not sure when in the 20th century were the Irish “upgraded” in racist terminology from “immigrant criminals living on welfare” to - and I quote @therajraj on this - members of superior “British Isles culture”.
In other words, when did they stop being “them” and became “us”.

That’s a funny thing that I touch on when I do a little public speaking thing, and it gets people right in the chest every time. I had to make some serious changes in life and become part of a group. Initially I was court ordered, which I did not like. I had to go do my thing with “those people” and get my slip signed or be thrown in jail. It took a while, but I learned the language, met a few people and even started listening to them a little. Some people were kind of overly accomodating, others were indifferent, and thanks to my glowing personality- at least a few told me that I should fuck off. As time goes on and wears people down, I became friends with a bunch of people, and even a few that told me to fuck off have become indispensable. Then I realized t some point, past the court order and more in line with the purpose of the group- that I was no longer going to meetings with those people, and had actually become one of them.
Now many years later I’m one of them, and I see a new guy that has to get his slip signed. I kind of stand back a little, welcoming but not overly accommodating, while reserving the right to tell the dude to go fuck himself if I feel the necessity.
So after meeting thousands of people from right down the street to all over the world I’ve found this- You have to be able to meet someone where they stand (existentially), and they, likewise, have to be willing to meet you the same way. That requires a willingness to drop the “othering” on both parts, which makes actual connections with people- whether they live two blocks away, or on another continent- pretty difficult.
tldr- Its a two way street.

Go venture all you like. I believe otherwise, as I don’t believe the typical party line that “we are all mixed” and that there are no unmixed people out there, nor do I believe the “out of Africa” theory considering the literature to which I’ve been exposed. And no, as I said before, I am not an expert on racial anthropology, so anyone who wants to test me in proving something isn’t going to get what they request simply because I only have the means that all non-experts have today, that is, screw around finding literature and links online. I’m obviously going to believe some of what I am exposed to while disregarding some other material.
Yes, you EyeDentist, and I, are fully black. Who would have thought?!
You’re one rude dude!
You know my posting style attracts all the heat making it easier for you and a few others to give your opinions.
Because let’s be honest here you have some naughty opinions on race yourself

First of all, just because certain things about race are subjective doesn’t mean things we can observe about race aren’t objective.

I seriously don’t understand your point. You have a <0.1% strain of Native American or East Asian. Does this mean all whites have a non-white strain? Do you share the same viewpoint as ED. If so, of course that’s fine. I just don’t understand the gist of your post.
My big takeaway is that you’re pretty much a Neanderthal.

It means that a) I’m one of the “whitest” people you’ll find and I’m not 100% white and b) if you go back far enough I, like many, have Neanderthal variants.
My viewpoint is that human beings are a single organism, that race is predominately a social construct, and that what differentiates “peoples” is mostly historical events, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural factors.
Homo Sapien in the streets, Neanderthal in the sheets my wife always says.
