  • @Gulfporter I recommend that you look up an article authored by the man in this video titled, "Conceptualizing Human Variation". It's an excellent summary of what race actually means, how modern science has deconstructed the race concept and proposes other concepts that can accurately be ascribed to human variation. Racialism is indeed a school of thought which proposes that race determines the mental traits and capacities of people which are deemed to be culturally significant.

  • @Gulfporter I'm not making an argument over terminology but rather explaining the fact that the term at its root is not scientific. There's no scientific basis for Caucasian or any racial label as the concept of biological races has been debunked by modern scientists. Racists hold on to this outdated concept for political reasons.

  • "In terms of physical diversity, It can be imagined that the modern diversity to be found in Egypt. In terms of cranial facial features, skin color what have you! Would likely to have been very similar to that found in the past."

  • So long story short it was the white race. But lets just over look that. What the hell? Race is a big deal. To know where thes ppl came from. And just over looking it is crazy. 

  • @Gulfporter So don't blame blacks blame the "system" for being so racist.

  • @Gulfporter "One of the most important issues in American policing is conflict between police and racial minorities. Individuals perception that police treat similarly situated people differently has led, in part to this conflict. Previous research suggests that citizens who perceive that police officers have behaved unfairly are more likely to hold unfavourable attitudes towards them". Criminal Law Bulletin Volume 45 number 2
