[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4557616, member: 80301"] Something else about this forced-diversity thing that both blacks and whites have been subjected to is the outright denial of science. Black people, having originated in Africa, where it is hot and sunny, have a plethora of melanin in their skin which takes in sunlight and converts it to vitamin D. Its like a built-in vitamin factory. Caucasians on the other hand, dont have it to the same degree. We get skin cancer if we're out in the sun for prolonged periods of time. But heres the thing. Being the nation was set up with the caucasian interests in mind, being it was settled by European colonizers, the architecture and buildings that isolate us from the outside elements, usually in corporate settings, are the same positions that are giving black people explosive cases of cancer themselves. Thats not to say that black people shouldnt have important jobs or high paying jobs, but the science behind our physiological differences are there. This is the problem with the mentality of we are all the "same". No, we arent. We are all not only NOT the same, but even within our own races we are not the same. Each one has this or that uniqueness, this or that skillset. But this idea that we are all a straight line of similarity is lunacy. Ive met black people that are smarter than me, Ive met black people that are dumber than me. Ive met white people that are smarter/dumber. Asians, smarter/dumber. I also think feelings of superiority are delusional no matter who holds them. There is always going to be someone who is better at you in something. No one is the best at everything. But real problem-solving starts with being honest with the self, and evaluating those truths. Just like with the alcoholic who denies that the alcohol is destroying him, the solution becomes further and further removed with each passing day. It all starts with self-honesty. Even if some feelings get hurt in the process. [/QUOTE]
