So you are telling me that modern DNA test which can tell a person the amount of African, Asian, or European blood they have is really making a determination about culture? Okay....I think the analogy I provided in the other thread (which you alluded to) is necessary here. The Big Cats: Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Tigers, and Panthers all belong to the same species. As such they are able to reproduce with one another. However, the are not the same type/race of animal. All have different genetic characteristics and behaviors. The size difference and behavior between a Lion & a Tiger is not an example of ethnicity. Cheetahs aren't faster than Leopards because of cultural differences! The difference between the appearance, behaviors, and traits of these animals are genetic. These genetic differences makes them different races, even though they remain the same species. The same applies to humans.
Alright, Brother Pan, again I am no biologist or DNA specialist, but I know that DNA tests do NOT tell us whether we have Indian, Eskimo, or African blood, it tells us what TYPE of blood we have... As in "O+" or "O-" blood types, and so on...
You will never see in a hospital, "african blood", European Blood", or African Kidneys, and European Livers, and Asian hearts... In fact, many people are walking around today with the organs of people who are not of the same ethnic background... Now, if we were of another species, White and Black, then a transfusion of blood from either of us would likely be rejected by our immune systems... If that were not the case, then Human beings would not really have to donate blood, becaue we could actually use the blood or a cat, or cow, or horse... Just slaughter some cows, have dinner, and donate the blood to your local hospital - nothing goes to waste(smile!) Just no medium rare steaks!(YUK!)
Seriously, though...I am not saying that NO differences between us exists... I am saying that RACE is some crazy theory these folks came up with to justify a lot of nonsense, and WHITE SUPREMACY is the correlative of that...
Peace!
