Heroes of Ancient Greece

David Bowie's 1977 B-side "Heroes of Ancient Greece" was not as appreciated as his smash single "Heroes," but there's a lot of depth and humanity to the lyrics, particularly the spoken-word interlude where Socrates eats 10 babies.

You... you can't be THIS retarded. Let me give you some examples of races: Black, White, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific, and Arab/Brown. Greek is not a race, it's a heritage. You are born in Greece? Your family came from Greece? You are Greek. There are many different types of Greek; black, white, maybe Asian, but mostly white.

Your argument is invalid.

Kronos is a hero? Well I guess zeus did consume one of his children but there was no curse to do with it, OVER ANALYZING FAGGOT AWAY!!!!

@MrHippyRobot i wouldn't call our discussion fighting. i was just trying to make the point that most people think of race in the wrong way. biologically/genetically there is no significant difference between any humans because of their race. the human brain naturally lumps things into categories to make new information easier to process, but in this case it is wrong to assume anything about anyone simply based on the color of their skin, including their genetics.

@evilcitrus You're obviously arguing on different sides of the spectrum. He's saying that races affect genetics, which they do unless two races combine making the baby have a mixture of both genetic codes from each parent and your arguing about how races don't effect culture or people, which apart from racism is completely true also. So stop fighting about something that doesn't need to be fought about or especially something that doesn't even make sense.

@TechnologyMAN1245 hey i didn't start it. but we can start another one if you want

@evilcitrus are you kidding me right now? A culture/race argument on an 8 second comedic video???

[evilcitrus]

@KasplazmTV but culture and race are completely independent. there are tons of cultures within each so-called "race" of people. almost all aspects of culture evolve from the environment/resources available and have absolutely nothing to do with how those people look. if a white guy were born and raised in a mongolian village, he would act and talk just like everyone within that culture, but he would still look like a "normal" white person. behaviors come from culture, not race

you know in the future we're just gonna be called humans

@evilcitrus

Races also act differently and have very different cultures. A white man's city is nothing like an Asian man's city (before they influence each other), They look different, because they ARE different. It's really not that hard to tell.
