i dont think its racist

[paleocrat]

Wish to explain?

Here is the breakdown:

1. It honors only one race.

2. While African-Americans can be included in the Dean's and President's Lists, no other race can participate in the racial-centric one for African Americans.

3. There is no similar honor system for any other racial group.

How this doesn't qualify as racial segregation is something I'd be interested to hear you explain. As far as I can see, a rose is a rose by any other name.

i just dont i mean most black ppl dont get a chance to be honored as much as say white ppl and besides hes just honoring black ppl while on utube its not like a real they get a schlorship thing

[paleocrat]

Black people don't get a chance to be honored as much as white people? Why is this? Remember, we are talking about the school's "honor roll" system which allows red, yellow, black, and white a chance.

The honor is not on YouTube. It is on the Wall across from the registrar's office in the main hall of the main student center.

idk y it is it just is if ya lookin 4 a real deep answer srry 2 disappiont im just 13

[paleocrat]

That's cool. Hey, at least a 13-year-old is expressing an opinion. You are young enough that you can learn something that older people can't: Listen. Seriously, listen to the way people talk. Listen to the way they debate, and the arguments they use.

Listen real hard, and be very careful when you speak. Always remember, it's better to think twice, because then you'll probably only have to speak once.

See ya.

How many years did african Americans fight for equality? Now they want to be segregated again? Make up your minds already...

[EGarrett01]

I'm referring to any descendants of any group that goes through a forced environment that warps their characteristics. It's the ENVIRONMENT that I'm referring to, the environment is the cause. It just happens to CORRELATE roughly with people of dark skin in America. But if you define the group by their dark skin, you will include a lot of people who shouldn't be in that group and won't display the characteristics. And generally exclude some who do have the characteristics but not the skin color.

@EGarrett01 "I wasn't referring to a "race""

Then, what did you mean by your use of the term "bloodline" in reference to a "group of people [having gone] through 30 generations of forced manual labor".

[EGarrett01]

I wasn't referring to a "race" at all. That's what you don't understand. These effects depend on environment and social situation over generations, NOT RACE. Correlation is not causation. Please learn this.

[funincluded]

Why not have a short persons wall of success?

It seems good intentioned though

[hitssquad]

@EGarrett01 Where in my post did I say "the american black race?"

You did not say that. That is why I did not quote you as having said it.

If you were not referring to the American black race, which race with "not as many strong intellects" were you referring to?

[EGarrett01]

Where in my post did I say "the american black race?"

[hitssquad]

@EGarrett01 "If you assign it to race"

You just did. You said that the American black race includes "not as many strong intellects."

I said, "The black and white IQ distributions differ from each other."

Do our statements conflict?

[EGarrett01]

That's what happens when any group of people goes through 30 generations of forced manual labor and legally-mandated non-education. You're going to find that their bloodline starts to include a lot of great athletes and not as many strong intellects. Over the centuries this will reverse itself.

This is due to residual effects from slavery. If you assign it to race you are an ignorant idiot who is dangerous to society.

[3Epistle]

It is rascist on two fronts: First it excludes people solely due to skin color. Second, it sends a message that blacks cannot excel to the level of other colors. That is both a grave fallacy and highly counterproductive I agree, but as a Christian man of dark hue and an I.Q. of 136 I think this is where our agreements end. You change minds better by being a friend
