White Men Can’t Jump, by Robert Gore

If the world appears wildly chaotic, bordering on insane, check the programming. Garbage in, garbage out. The current state of affairs reflects the predominant quantity and quality of thought. What’s true at the individual level—there is no hope of improving life without improving thought—applies to groups, including the group known as humanity.

This is an excerpt. For the complete article, please click the above link.

    When the slave market was at its peak, slave farms specialized in selective breeding. Some bred for height, but most bred for strength and bodily beauty. As a result, a whole class of gladiators came to be in the form of basic African genes.These Adonises and Venuses or should I say Atlases? were bought and sold as fast as they were produced and certain bloodlines brought the most money at auction.What was the crime? Not selective breeding, but the pre-determination of purpose for the breeding.

      Almost Thirty years ago Jimmy (the Greek) Snyder, CBS Sports commentator, analyst and oddsmaker, was fired by the network yesterday after a controversial television interview in which he said many blacks were superior athletes because of breeding from the time of slavery.

      I always thought it was odd that they could call him "The Greek" an odds maker but he couldn't have an opinion on black or white athletes.

        Such was the insanity of learning that skin color had little to do with anything and that it was not intrinsic.Blacks were generally taller and more muscular than whites , whites were smarter and more creative than blacks.Both statements are wrong. Blacks bred for slavery were not caused by by evolution to be the way they were, Whites in an environment that caused them to struggle more for food and shelter developed the need for using their big brains in order to survive. So neither trait is intrinsic.

    Discussions are often started with a premise that is faulty and assuming that all arguments for or against must be predicated on the assumption that A is not A but B. To help those who are lost you must first get them back to the premise they have started with and work to get them to understand why it is important to start correctly, otherwise they will spend their time trying to prove that A really is B if you subordinate logic and reality enough the conclusion will appear correct.
