The arguments used to deny the reality of race usually follow a
similar pattern. The race deniers begin with attempts to discredit
the traditional methods of racial classification, especially racial
typology based on phenotype or physical appearance, the combination of
all one's physical traits. Next they attempt to discredit the
traditional racial divisions that are based on these methods of
classification.
The purpose of this is to create confusion, ambiguity, and uncertainty
about race. A definition of race is usually lacking from the race
deniers' argument, either because they do not know how to define it,
or because they know that an accurate definition of race would refute
their argument. Finally, when enough confusion and ambiguity have
been created, they merely reject the concept of race. But if you
press the matter it usually becomes clear that the real issue for them
is not the methods of racial classification, nor even the reality of
races—the apparent focus of their argument—but the issue
of racial preservation, and especially the issue of Northern European
racial preservation. So when all is said and done, the ultimate issue
is the same for race deniers as it is for racial preservationists: the
continued existence of Northern European peoples and their racial
types. The difference is that deniers are against the continued
existence of the racial distinctiveness that differentiates Northern
European peoples from other populations, whereas preservationists
favor the survival of these racial traits and qualities.
A common tactic of race deniers is to demand proof of the reality of
race, without setting a standard of what constitutes sufficient proof.
Their standards of proof are artificially too high. This is related
to their avoidance of an objective or accurate definition of race.
Proof begins with an accurate definition, and it is the key to an
effective refutation of race denial arguments. So, what is this thing
called race?
To start at the beginning, the word race refers to the different
geographic populations of humanity that share a common ancestry and
can be distinguished from each other by an inherited combination of
morphological traits, i.e., by genetically determined physical
appearance or phenotypes. Race thus refers both to populations and to
the phenotypes that are associated with these populations and by which
they are identified. These populations and phenotypes existed for
many thousands of years before the word race became the common term to
refer to them. Thus the definition of the word race is, quite simply,
those populations and phenotypes to which it refers.

Are you claiming 'Northern European" is one of your unscientific,
superstitious 'races'??? It's a geographic region of course, where
you can find people from Viking, Chinese, and African ancestry,
and of course.. all of them are originally of african ancestry.
So they come from a common, single, human race.
Clearly this makes nonsense of your straw man opening, as
a) I do not deny race, just recognise the scientific truth that there
is ONLY ONE, that we are all out of Africa, and that there is NO
GENETIC basis for a taxonomy of more than one 'race'
b) I do not support, or desire Northern European Extinction,
whatever the fuck you mean by it! B^p
Therefore, as your strawman does NOT represent the RATIONAL
challenge to your racist nonsense, but instead indulges YOUR
idiocy and racist garbage, we apply the GIGO principle to
all the rest, based on these faulty assumptions of yours, and
<snip> it.
The challenge to you, and all the primitive believers in racist
superstition remains.
1. How many 'races' do you claim exist, (including the single
one you have identified here; 'Northern European' (sic))
2. What are theses 'races' called.
2. What detailed genetic taxonomy DISTINGUISHES one 'race' from
another (for example you could start by explaining what makes
someone from your "Northern European" 'race' genetically different
from say, the Southern European 'race', or the Eastern and Western
European 'races'.
As you all hysterically rant that this is 'obvious' (just as the flat
earth was obvious to medieval primitives) this should not take you long...
Waiting for an intelligent response, as I have been for months....

construct is real), I'd like you to show where "Northern European
extinction" is even a valid comment, let alone on the agenda.

Er, no. That's not the case at all.
From a third year zoology course (Olkahoma State University)
Definition of Race: A race is a geographically circumscribed
population or set of populations that differ from all other
populations of a species.
A Related Term: Subspecies; a race given formal taxonomic recognition
by assigning a subspecies name. For example neanderthals are sometimes
referred to as a subspecies of our species: Homo sapiens
neanderthalensis
You'll find very similar definitions is in any reputable biology
textbook.
Neanderthals were a subspecies of Homo Sapiens. Homo Sapiens Sapiens
is a subspecies of Homo Sapiens. But "black" or "white" or "blue-eyed"
or "red-haired" or "flat-footed" or O-positive blood type is not.
For example: King and Stansfield's Dictionary of Genetics (1990)
defines race as:
"A phenotypically and/or geographically distinctive subspecific group,
composed of individuals inhabiting a defined geographical and/or
ecological region, and possessing characteristic phenotypic and gene
frequencies that distinguish it from other such groups."
Do you understand yet?
> The purpose of this is to create confusion, ambiguity, and uncertainty
> about race.
No, it's about providing knowledge through precise, definitive and
testable propositions that have scientific credibility.

> deniers' argument, either because they do not know how to define it,

Bzzt! Wrong. Precise definition - something you've _never_ done -
provided above. And as shown, it's not a case of "race denial", it's a
case of pointing out that people like yourself are trying to create
extra races when they don't exist.
> Finally, when enough confusion and ambiguity have
> been created, they merely reject the concept of race.
If there is confusion and ambiguity over a term any rational person
does reject it. Those who steadfastly believe in the concept are the
one's who hang on to it.
> But if you

> is not the methods of racial classification, nor even the reality of

Nope, wrong. I have always stated that I'm happy to accept the concept
of 'races', I just doubt whether (a) the human species is sufficiently
aged (b) hetrogenous and (c) subject to sufficient isolation for
racial subspecies to form. And, contrary to what you claimed in
November last year, the onus is _you_ to prove it. You have a
hypothesis that there is such a thing as races within homo sapien
sapiens. Well, prove it.
> and especially the issue of Northern European
> racial preservation.
To the best of my knowledge (which differs from belief), there is no
Northern European race. In fact there is isn't even a single northern
European culture. Or nationality. Or religion. Or, for that matter,
distinct physical trait which is geographically limited to northern
European.
It would seem, to an unprejudiced mind, there is no Northern European
race. Least of all in Australia.

Note your logical progression here. First you avoid the onus of proof.
Then you are show yourself incapable of providing a definition. Then
you assume a racial group exists. And that someone wants to destroy it
(i.e., the one you evidently identify with). Some psychotherapists
might consider this just a little paranoid.

Bzzt! Lie. Go back to earlier threads on aus.politics which you

Yes, but the standards in science are a little higher, because they
have to work out which physical traits are significant enough and
geographically isolated enough, to warrant the term "subspecies".
Otherwise you will have a "race" of the "blue-eyed" a race of the "red
haired" the "flat footed" and any or every trait you care to pull out
of your arse.

Wow. A dot com journal. You're really on the cutting edge of research.
That's up with "I read it on the Internet". Yeah, I read that Bill
Clinton is an lizard alien as well, and even on the aus.politics
newsgroup we have two people who reckons the share 95% of the DNA with
fruit flies.
Go do some serious research.
Here's some material you can _begin_ with.

Note the consistent use of .edu - you could learn from that. Not all
websites are of the same quality.
Happy learning! And try not to hang on to beliefs and prejudices. It
really does limit one's capacity to think...
So you are saying that your concept of 'race' is not a genuine
taxonomy, such as our ability to clearly differentiate species
by comparing Human DNA to Chimp DNA, but is instead
a gradual, non differentiated, sliding spectra like hirsute
to baldness, a mere single-trait continuity like tempreature,
or skin colour!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW STATES!
THAT THERE IS NO BLACK 'RACE' OR WHITE 'RACE'
JUST LIKE THERE IS NO HIRSUTE 'RACE' AND NO BALD
'RACE"
There is simply ONE race, with a continuous variation for EVERY
single feature, tall to short, bald to hirsute, thin to fat, dark to
light hair, dark to light skin....
This is what EVERYONE can plainly observe.
Only those clinging desperately to an outmoded superstition
try to argue that they can draw a line and say 'This is the
Bald race and this other is the Hirsute Race" They are just
humans with varying degrees of hair! Which is CLEARLY
demonstrated when they move from hairless childhood
to hairy puberty and back to aged baldness.. AND IT DOESN'T
MEAN THEY **CHANGE 'RACE** you racist morons! B^D
Thanks for demonstrating that your ridiculous and unscientific
notions have no more basis in fact than declaring the Bald,
Hairy, Fat and Thin races! B^D
You blokes are a RIOT! BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
So you are just going to plagiarize the whole text to impress us? What's

The first example of self-destruction through irrational intolerance
of difference was the deterioration of German Medicine with
the internment of Jewish Doctors. In Berlin, for example, 70% of the
doctors were Jewish, and once they were purged, German medicine
suffered enormously, moving from world class to mediocrity.
They compounded the loss of life and increased suffering among the
German military by destroying German Blood Science. They would
only accept "Aryan" Blood, and yet, even at the height of the Nazi's
short and spectacularly destructive regime, there were not enough
pure Aryans to provide sufficient blood. Their expertise in
handling blood declined with the purge of Jewish doctors, they had
no transfusion equipment, and the allies, sharing Jew and Gentile blood
saved thousands more lives of theri injured soldiers.

You have much more patience in trying to educate them than I do,
I am convinced they are deliberately obtuse, i.e. they will not
give up their unfounded prejudices no matter what rational
arguments are placed before them. This is because their
irrational belief is their only source of delusional solace.
Those who have no success, no personal achievements,
no talents, can feel worthy, even superior, simply
because of their skin colour, the comforting fantasy
of the infantile regressives;
"If you is white, you is allright,
If brown, stick aroun'
if black, get back"
With this simple mythos they feel 'naturally' superior,
no matter what their lack of sexual, financial, intellectual
or moral success may demonstrate to the contrary.
The one additional necessary delusion is that if reality
is the inverse of what their delusions would predict,
then they must be being cheated of their rightful place
by the evil {insert racist epithet here} B^p
No rational argument will cause them to give up such
a vital ego-prop.
But you do well to educate those almost as stupid as the racists themselves,
and thus prevent their contagion from spreading.

I agree with Mr McCullochs article.
The "race deniers" are sophists. How can one pretend there is no race than
make it the centerpiece of ones ideology in terms of affirmative action,
politics etc.
It is also clear to me that the "race deniers" want racial annihilation and
ethnocide. By the perpetuating the myth that race doses not exist it
becomes possible to persecute, annihilate one group of people (whites) with
complete lack of remorse.
It is the anti-racists and race deniers who are the "ghosts of the
holocaust" stalking. Almost 1000 white Boer farmers out of 100,000 have
been murdered but it is easy to ignore these as victims because the 'race
deniers' claim that the white race in particular does;t exist.
All of the posters who have attacked me are a perfect parody of what Mr.
McCulloch has argued.
"Some of my arguments with race deniers have been direct, one-on-one
exchanges. These have usually ended after my antagonists explicitly
admitted their support, and even their desire, for Northern European
extinction.
The arguments used to deny the reality of race usually follow a
similar pattern. The race deniers begin with attempts to discredit
the traditional methods of racial classification, especially racial
typology based on phenotype or physical appearance, the combination of
all one's physical traits. Next they attempt to discredit the
traditional racial divisions that are based on these methods of
classification.
The purpose of this is to create confusion, ambiguity, and uncertainty
about race. A definition of race is usually lacking from the race
deniers' argument, either because they do not know how to define it,
or because they know that an accurate definition of race would refute
their argument. Finally, when enough confusion and ambiguity have
been created, they merely reject the concept of race. But if you
press the matter it usually becomes clear that the real issue for them
is not the methods of racial classification, nor even the reality of
races the apparent focus of their argument but the issue
I have to agree fully. The posters; like the white hating ethnic dross
(possibly part Sri Sanken) calling himself fasgnadh (Gallic to shit or
purge) is an precise example of the kind of person Mr McCulloch portrayed:
disingenuous sophists interested in winning rather than ascertaining truth
or honest compromise. Double standards are an manifestation of a hidden
agenda as Joseph Sobran points out.
They can, as you point out, all identify race when they need to to
discriminate against say whites (or Chinese) to achieve parity.
Their brazenness and ability to continue on his absurd 'race denial tactic
shows that he believes that by repeating a lie often enough it will become
believable. This in essence carries some truth as Marxist critical theory
and propaganda techniques all agree that a moronic repetition is effective.
Our reaction to them can only be revulsion. They are not honest people.
It takes a while but I've had some success. There is a process people go
through when they start seeing things differently. You have to stay calm
friendly rational and respectfull of the other person. We need to
understand it and realise it can be difficult for people. During the proces
they sometimes hold two sets of mutualy oppositional view points. Remember
it is hard to go through out education system and not come out 'primed' as
marxist. Guilt mongering and cultural relativism etc are deeply ingrained
and modern political correctness is based around preventing children(white)
from aborbing their own culture.

WTF are you on about?
WTF is a race denier?
WTF is Northern European extinction?
Get a life man/woman. Life is too short to spend it debating quack
theories on race.
Can an Eskimo man mate with an Australian aboriginal woman and produce
healthy offspring?
Similarly can any man from any part of this small piece of rock
orbiting the sun mate with a woman from any other part?
The answer is YES. That is good enough for me. We're all compatible
with each other. Full stop. End of argument.
The rest is just playing with words and semantics. Are we all the same
race but difference breeds? Different races, same species? Who cares?
Nobody in their right mind does. Apart from those with an agenda, but
then those are not of a right mind are they?

Nope. Don't do that. As someone who has argued a great deal with you
about this and has been involved in the real world of politics you'll
be struggling to see any instance where I've advocated, let alone
implemented, racially based affirmative action.

You're makling this up. All that's ever been requested is that you
show us what races exist and how you have defined this in a manner
that fits a modern dictionary of genetics.

Nothing wrong with criticism of prior attempts of classification. Is
there?

If the methodology of classification is flawed then the divisions will
probably be flawed as well. Please keep up.

Nope, you're lying. I've constantly provided you with a definition,
and one that fits current scientific definitions. You, on the other
hand, have constantly avoided a definition. Instead you have
arbritrarily claimed the existence of particular races through
assertion alone.

If confusion and ambiguity exists then it is rational that category is

See how you've done this? Firstly you engage in falsities about the
definition and categorization of races. Then, having utterly failed to
provide a definition, you claim that this is really a matter of racial
(Northern European) racial preseveration. _Without_ ever stating what
this is.
This is a temporal fallacy. Of course I don't care less about the
preservation of the Northern European race (yet), because I haven't
been provided the evidence that such a race exists. You're asking
people, as a matter of faith, to care about the leprachauns proir to
showing us what and where the leprachauns are...

It seems to me that your ego is so fragile, you lack sufficient
strength of internal identity, that you need an artificial and

Oh well, nationality and religion works for some... Race for others.
I think there at 2 types. People that active seek the anihilation of
the white genotype by all means possible: immigraion, asylum seekers,
open borders, promotion of white guilt, discrimination against whites
in the form of affirmitive action. These people are subtle racists
who use double standards to hide their hidden agenda. They often bring
up injustices from hundred of years ago/ Very often (I thinkk mostly)
they are not white themselves. For instace jews in the radical left
that formed some 50% of the NAACP (national Associaltion for the
Advancem,ent of Colored People) but in some cases they are however
white. These people seem to do so for 3 reasons:
1: a sense of moral outrage which is an over reaction or maladpation
of altrusim and sense of fair play to 'percieved' injustices to other
races or
2: a desire to 'status' seek i.e. by adopting 'superior moral
values' they can increase their standing within a particular
community.
3 a desire to avoid racial guilt by becoming self hating.
The second type of person is not a racial anhiliationist but a pretend
nihilst. These people realy do care about their own kind but dare not
speak out to protect themselves against injustice and anti-white
vilification. When challenged they relucatanly and angrily admit that
it doesn't matter if the white race disappears even if it is the only
one. Their anger is an indication it realy does matter and that they
are torn between caring and the fear of being branded a racist,
redneck or Nazi.

> WTF is Northern European extinction?
Northern Europeans or 'white' people are those humans which evolved in
the Northern circumpolar region. They have white skin, fairer in
women (child bearers) which allows then to make vitamins in low light
conditions. They tend to have all color of hair but mainly and
uniquely brown, blond, red as well as black. They tend to have all
colors of eyes but many are uniquely blue.
They have narrow noses, closely spaced eyes, a long ecleptic head with
a large brain space 'on top'. They are paleolithic people and evolved
in Northern Europe under genetic isolation for 30,000-40,000 years due
to the ice age. About 9,000 years ago at the end of a major ice age
some neolithic peoples from the near east immigrated but according to
both y-chromosome and mDNA data this was never more than 20% in any
region. (See E Sykes: the 7 daughters of Eve)
Northern European extinction is happening. The Fertility rate is only
1.5 children per woman per 20 year generation (ie a decline of 30%
every 20 years). This is due to the presures on Nothern Europeans are
under due to "replacement immigration" which is an immigraion rate of
about 1% per year (20% per 20 year generation). This for instance
forces up the price of land and increases competion for emplyment
while stretching the infrastucture and natural resorces of a nation.

There is a "human species". The human species can be subdivided into

These characteristics correlate with ancestry.
There are no negroes whith ancesters in Finland or Shanghai.

Decades of IQ reserach shows that the vast differences in congitive
ability amongst some of the different races are heriditary. Blacks
have 22% higher testosteron than whites (and this leads to behavioral
differences), mature sexualy 1 year earlier and their neckless babies
can lift their heads after only 13 hours wherears a white or asian
child needs 13 WEEKS!
We have mapped genes for IQ, proness to dpression, vulnerability to
criminality, novelty seeking and risk avoidence.
A gene on allele 5 chromosome 6 has even been discovered that
correlates to
4 extra points to IQ.

Depends on their level of technology. If they are highly
technological they will spend much time sheltered in doors and well
clothed and dark skin will offer no advantage and may even be a
disadvatage.
Light skin is better at capturing light for vitamin productions (which
is why women are fairer; to suppor the foetus), a modest temprement
suitable for monogamy, intelligence and foresight for preparing for
winter when stores, adauete shelter, cloting and advanced
tools/weapons for big game hunting are all part of european
adaptations. (Female gathering, as pygamies and african tribes rely
on does not work in winter)
Genes if advantageous propagate rapidly throgh a population.
Something like the ability to digest milk increased the fertility rate
of some people by only a small percentage but this was enough to go
from 5% of the population throught to 95% over only about 800 years.
Just do a calculation similar to 1.01^50 where the 50 represents 50 x
20 year generations over a 1000 year period.
Typicaly eurpeans can not cope with tropical illness which is why we

I have a problem with lots of species of animals and plants that "breed

me an environmentalist. Yes, the less-than-replacement reproduction rates of
Nordics may be "life", but environmentalists like me equally rejoice when
the bilbies make a bit of a comeback here or there, and mourn when the
rabbits keep destroying our environment.

The Northern European peoples were firmly established in Europe in
Cro-Magnon times, perhaps 35,000 years ago. According to H V Vallois (for
his credentials check him out in an encyclopedia), the Fontechevade people
of perhaps 180,000 years ago were our earlier Nordic ancestors. And
Swanscombe Woman, who again looked like a modern Nordic and who apparently
had a perfectly modern brain, dates from 435,000 to 230,000 years ago.
Is that enough time for you? Our race has been around for up to 435,000
years. Your statement that "10,000 years ago we were all african" is just
insane ignorance.

I think if you look at the situation of Sth African and Zimbabwe you will
see it has a rational base. The 4.5 million Ukranians murdered were
murdered by non Ukranians or different race. Many were attached to a theory
of evolution based on Lamark/Lysenko: the ultimate race denial.
it can happen and the conditions are being created. It is almost impossible

Because they look different, have a different physilogy, different
enurophysilogy, and perfrom differently in sports and cogntive areas to
other races eg Africans and Chinese. Alos becuase they split of from
Africans at least 120,000 years ago by the out of africa theory.

The traitional methods of racial classification work: they predict ancestry
and racial heritage they correlate with modern DNA methods.
Mongoloid, Caucasian and African are the three basic classifications that
reflect 100% on ancestry.

As nation states are destroyed people will turn to race, religion, extended
family or other such things.
As the nation state fails to protect us whites will need to become activists
to oppose the other ethnic lobbies.
These nutters no doubt have slugs, tape worms and cockroaches in their past

Might as well ask for proof of the same assertion about dogs. You can
deny that negroes are "a population or set of populations that differ
from all other populations" of Homo Sapiens Sapiens until you're black

and irrational as denying that spaniels are "a population or set of
populations that differ from all other populations" of Canis Familiaris.

They look different? Scots and Finns look different. Two people in a
Scottish fishing village look different. They perform differently in
sports and academica. You're going to have to do a _lot_ better that
this. In fact, genetically, they are more different than the
differences between a random Scot and a random African and a random
Chinese. That's the genetics of the matter. Deal.
I also dispute your claim that Europeans left Africa en masse 120,000
years ago and have been "split off" since then.

thing as the Estonian race.

No Africans with Chinese ancestry? I'm sorry, that simply isn't true.
For starters, back in the days of apartheid 2.7% of the population of
South Africa were classified as "Asians". This included 5,000 Hakka
and 15,000 Cantonese. In neighbouring Botswana there was an additional
1,000 Chinese of Hakka and Cantonese ethnicities. Keep in mind these
are _native_ speakers and doesn't include the many thousands who have
additional Chinese ancestry.
Hell, even in your deeply beloved Norway there's 3,000 people who
speak a Chinese language as their native language.
The species gets around. There is no racial purity.

Rushton doesn't provide a scientific definition here. He claims the
existence of three races. This is as detailed as he gets:
"Roughly speaking, Orientals are those who have most of their
ancestors from East Asia. Whites have most of their ancestors from
Europe. And Blacks have most of their ancestors from sub-Saharan
Africa."
Basically he's picked three popoulation centres of the species which
are as geographically isolated as possible outside of the Americas and
Australia and said "look, they're different!"
Yeah, but not sufficiently different to fit the scientific and
taxonomical classification of race. Notably most of Rushton's
differences are based on factors that have more to do with
socio-economic development than natural science as well.

Are these the races now? How far back does one have to go before it is
a race?
What happened to the Northern European race which you're so concerned
about?
When you plot 120 allele frequencies you get a very different map.
http://www.as.ua.edu/ant/bindon/ant270/lectures/race/race_gen.gif
And the author of the map considers these differences insufficient for
racial classification of the human species..

White race? What's that? Is that someone with white skin? Like

No, I actually don't care one way or another whether race exists or
not. To me, the question is a little like whether the earth circles
the sun or not. I don't care on any moral or aesthetic level, I just
want to make sure that when people claim that they have scientific
proof that they really have it.
After all, the history of race assertors indicates that there is a
substantial risk factor involved. The question is not trivial.

Come on, then. Give us some evidence for your insane claim that "10,000
years ago we were all african".
A series of assertions about generalized motivations. The claim that
"[t]he purpose of this is to create confusion, ambiguity, and
uncertainty about race." is demonstrably false as this thread has
shown. There is one particularly person who has used confusion,
ambiguity and uncertainty in their definition of race and that's "The
Enlightenment".

Who is motivated by counter-intuition and obsfucation? A more
appropriate reason would be (a) an interest in science and (b) a
recognition of social risk that entials the unsubstantiated assertion
of human differences.

Apart from the fact their skin isn't "white", this exists as a cline

Uniquely brown, blonde and red? Fsck me, someone better tell that to

"Hey Dewi, guess what? You're of the Northern European race!"
The gales of laughter echo across the Timor Sea...
Hair-colour is associated with melanin. But like skin colour, it is
not unique to any geographical population.
> They tend to have all

Er, hate to hit on the head with a bit of science, but _all_ eyes are
brown. Do some research.
Perceived eye colour is a factor of presence of melanin again. And
once again, particular amounts are _not_ a feature unique to any
geographical population.

And according to introduction to The Seven Daughters of Eve:
"Perhaps the most serious objection to these [racial] trees is that
their construction demands that the things at the end of the trees,
the populations, be objectively defined. This process in itself
segregates people into groups in ways that can tend to perpetuate
racial classifications. It gives some sort of overall genetic number
to something that does not really exist. There are certainly people
who live in Japan and Tibet, but there is no genetic meaning to the
population of Tibet or Japan, taken as a whole. As this book will
show, objectively defined races simply do not exist...."
Sorry what was that again? "Objectively defined races simply do not
exist".
Let's go on...
"Even Arthur Mourant realized that fact nearly fifty years ago, when
he wrote: 'Rather does a study of blood groups show a heterogeneity in
the proudest nation and support the view that the races of the pr
esent day are but temporary integrations in the constant process
of...mixing that marks the history of every living species.' The
temptation to classify the human species into categories which have no
objective basis is an inevitable but regrettable conse quence of the
gene frequency system when it is taken too far. For several years the
study of human genetics got firmly bogged down in the intellectually
pointless (and morally dangerous) morass of constructing ever more
detailed classifications of human population groups."
Hoist by own petard I would say. You have referenced a text which
explicitly states that there is no "Northern European" race.

Wow. Contradictory statements in the same paragraph. First you claim
that population is falling in northern European countries which
requires replacement immigration, who then are responsible for
increases in land prices and infrastructure stresses.

"The Flynn effect shows that environmental factors can produce

As you probably know, the African Eve hypothesis is one of two competing
theories among scientists in this field. The other theory is that modern
human races all evolved separately from earlier primitive ancestors in
different parts of the world at a much earlier date.
Rushton is a highly-respected expert, but he clearly falls into one of the
two competing camps. That is ok, because genuine science progresses by
testing established hypotheses against the available evidence, and as a
scientist Rushton will no doubt be prepared to modify his views as new
evidence becomes available.
My only concern with Rushton is that the multi-regional hypothesis seems to
be better able to accommodate the evidence of modern humans like
Fontechevade and Swanscombe in Europe long before "110,000 years ago".

As to "Diablo's" claim that:

it is clear that he simply has no idea even of what he is asking. Logic
means nothing to him. Evidence means nothing to him. He simply can't
understand science. He is like a rabid Catholic Inquisitor from the burning
years - an uneducated fool who simply wishes to silence the modern likes of
Giordano Bruno with his thin little whining insults of "dickhead" and
"NAZI".
But when a fool like "Diablo" shows himself up (as he already has, and at
length), what makes you think that exposing him to the views of a genuine
scientist like Rushton could possibly help him? All he is actually capable
of doing is to keep chirping, like a trained budgie, single words like
"dickhead" and "NAZI".
Sadly, "Polly wants a cracker" would be too long for "diablo". Four words
would tax his memory-span. In fact, he'll probably just keep chirping
"dickhead" and "NAZI" until he falls off the perch as a very dead parrot
indeed.
You started by calling me "racist piece of filth".
If you start the abuse I won't hold back.

Racial history is part of your immagination.
You are the ignorant one, making a fool of yourself trying to define a race.
How far back do you go to define a race?
10, - 1,000 - 1,000,000 years?
The evolution of humans is another story.

Anyone who judges a person by their color is a NAZI.

It was an "indicative" number.
10 > 10,000 > 100,000 > 1,000,000...it's all relative to how far back you
want to go.
People are different from town to town, country to country, time to time.
But we all have the same orgins.
No, it wasn't. You pretended that it was a fact. There was nothing
"indicative" in what you wrote. This was what you wrote:
> > > > 10,000 years ago we were all african;)
> > > > How far back in time do you go to define a race???
There's nothing "indicative" there. You said quite clearly that "10,000
years ago we were all african;)". And now you can't give any evidence for
your ignoramus claim, can you?
In fact, you have introduced this weasel-word "indicative" to try to get off
the hook, haven't you?

Of course we all have the same origins, if by that you mean we are all made
up of atoms that were created in the Big Bang. By that logic (and it is
valid as far as it goes) you have the same "origins" as the cane toads that
we're trying to prevent from spreading out of Queensland, or the blowies
that we try to prevent from striking our sheep, or the unwelcome demographic
oil-slick that is washing up on our shores.
Since you're an intelligent person:
How do you define a race? Do you base a race on Color? Culture?
What is a "Northern European" race (Hitler's logic???)?
I'll ask you this question again:
How many years do you go back in time to define a race???
10?
100?
1,000?
10,000?
100,000?
1,000,000?

No, I don't mean that.
I mean Humans have the same BASE origins and culture.
"Race" doesn't exist because it is only "RELATIVE", depending how far you go
back in time.
There is one human race - that simple. There are merely different
characteristics due to evolving in different physical circumstances.
One drop of blood would enable scientists to say nothing other than it
was human.
There are cultural differences and - most importantly - individual
differences.

Sami? That's a language group which consists of the Lule, Southern,

Ahh, maybe race is defined by one's rate of procreation. So now we
have the blue-eyed race, the red-haired race, the black-skinned race
and the lesbian race. Next week we'll have the flat-footers, the
left-handers, the bald, the O+ blood people and after that we'll nail
jelly to the ceiling.
Yes, an act of sheer brilliance of the human species to arise in
several locations independently. I guess some of us are related to
Adam and Eve and the rest of us aren't really human at all..

Not unless the Pioneer Fund pays him.
The who?
Well, way back in the height of eugenics days, in the 1930s a textile
heir, Wickcliffe Draper was so convinced of the superiority of the
white race and the inferiority of all others he decided to make a
little fund for academics who supported this idea. He was ably
assisted by Frederick Osborn of the American Eugenics Society and
Harry Laughlin, both who were firm Hitler supporters. Osborn describes
Hitler's eugenics programme as "perhaps the most important social
program which has ever been tried" (Summary of the Proceedings of the
Conference on Eugenics in Relation to Nursing, Feb. 24, 1937).
It certainly was.
The fund started its activity by importing the Nazi propaganda film
Applied Eugenics in Present-Day Germany" which potrayed Aryans in
squalor and the severely imparied in well-to-do santitoriums.
An estimated two hundred thousand mentally and physically disabled
people were murdered during the Third Reich.
During the 1960s the fund gave an estimated $180K to William Shockley,
an academic who advocated sterilization to those with an IQ less than
100. Over a three decade period Dr. Jensen, who also advocated
"eugenic foresight" against "blacks" received over $1M from the fund.
From 1981-1991, Roger Pearson received a cool 1/2 million from the
fund. Pearson is an advocate of the breeding of a white "super-race"
and in the late 60s was editor of a magazine which claimed to be
interested in "a penetrating inquiry into every aspect of the Jewish
Question". And that wasn't theology either.
Of course, Pearson has friends in high places. President Ronald Reagan
personally thanked him "substantial contribution to promotion and
upholding those ideals and principles that we value at home and
abroad."
Indeed.
Rushton is a newcomer to the so scene. So far he's received close to
1/2 million from the foundation. I suppose he's highly respected
there. But not among scientists.
I would surely give up my currents views if the alternative views were
logical and rational.

My motives are very logic.
Your arguments are irrational and flawed.
I will ask you the same questions.
1) How do you define a race? By Color? Culture?
2) How many years do you go back in time to define a race???
10?
100?
1,000?
10,000?
100,000?
1,000,000?
3) Is the definition of a race "Absolute" or "Relative"?
...
Thank you. Your long and comprehensive reply (and yes I can read and
comprehend - I am a professional linguist by training) only goes to
prove my points that:
1/ Questions of race and racial differences matter only to the insane
2/ You're paranoid about the 'extinction of the Northern European
race'
3/ We ARE all compatible - note I didn't say 'the same' - but
compatible. Mixed 'race' people prove the point
An yes I did once know a mixed Eskimo/Aboriginal woman. Sweated in the
summer and shivered in the winter just like the rest of us, no more
and no less intelligent/stupid/emotional/moody/broody/attractive than
the rest of us were at the time. Oh, she was short-sighted - damn,
maybe you are right after all - NOT!!!
Get a life.

White race extinction is the result of greedy, materialistic white people
who don't want any children. Of couse we can not admit that white people
only have themselves to blame so we blame everyone else.
NAZI racists like "The Enlightenment" are too gutless to take the blame and
try to solve their own problems, so they blame everything on immigration and
other people that aren't white.
I always tell him that if he's concerned that the white population is in
decline, why doesn't he start being contructive by having more children?
Just thought I'd stick my snout in at this point to remind people that
Rushton is the man who once said "more brain or more penis; you can't
have everything" when discussing the differences between the white and
black 'races'.
More on the Pioneer Fund: http://www.fair.org/extra/9501/bell.html
This passage is the highlight of that page IMO: "Rushton was
reprimanded by his school, the University of Western Ontario, for
accosting people in a local shopping mall and asking them how big
their penises were and how far they could ejaculate."
The guy's a nutter.
(Editors note re the UK situation)
Who with ever increasing tax burdens can't afford to have children. Where
both the husband and wife have to work simply to keep a roof above their
heads, who because of this can't have children because there's no-one at
home to look after them.

And that effects only white people?
Well 'tiss true that many migrant Indians and Chinese work (and pay tax -
not necessarily the same thing) as do an ever decreasing number of
Pakistanis the overwhelming majority of African, West Indian,
Serbo-Croats/Albanian etc. migrants don't. They are being supported by
government hand-outs extorted from the indigenous population by means of
taxation.
As the number of migrants increases thus increases the tax burden on the
British - making it even more difficult to raise families.
(Notwithstanding issues of declining access to affordable housing, available
public transport, accessible education and health, increasing crime).

What are you on about? The whole of northern Europe was covered in ice from
18000 to 10000 years ago. No one could live there and no one did. There were
no Neolithic from the near east as the near east was also affected by the
ice age. The only place where people could have survived in that part of the
world was in southern Europe and Africa. The ice glaciers were so intense
that they have reshaped the whole landscape of Europe. If any people have
been in northern Europe before the ice age there can't be any evidence.
It is also interesting to note that black jews have been found in Africa.
All jews are descendents of Abraham. In as little as 2500 years and without
cross breeding, some have become white skinned while others have become
black skinned depending on the enviroment in which they lived.

Bullshit. Italy used to have the highest fertility rate in Europe while it
was one of the poorest nation in Europe. Within one decade it became
affluent and the fertility rate dropped to the lowest in Europe. It was only
after their population decreased that they got migrants as replacement.
In Australia the fertility rate is the same for people living in Sydney whe
houses can cost $1/2 Million and in country towns where one can buy a house
for less than $100-000. Don't blame migrants for the low fertility rate.
Face the simple fact that you are the odd one out. Most people don't give a
shit about so called race preservation. The Mercedes besides the boat in the
garage, the wine cellar and the $50.000 bathroom with Jacuzzy are more
important than producing children.
Increased competition for employment is another lot of bull. Who creates
employment? If we send all post war migrants to where they come from, would
the rest have full employment? If everyone would leave and we give the
country back to the Aborigines, would they have full employment working in
our factories, driving the buses and trains, working in the offices and at
Big W. It is people who create jobs and the number of people is immaterial.

If it is best for people to remain in their own environment, then why did
white people come to Australia to get skin cancer? Have you ever considered
the fact that your dependents may naturally become very dark to black within
2000 years if they all remain in Australia? If you want your dependents to
remain white, you better send them to northern Europe to breed.

There is a very high crime rate in countries like the Philippines. People
are poor and have to survive. But, in Australia Filipinos are the most law
abiding ethnic group. 200 years ago England had the highest crime rate in
the world and they had to ship criminals and protitutes to all parts of the
world. Crime is partly due to the socio economic environment, partly due to
the breakdown of moral standards partly due to the garbage which comes from
Hollywood and all of this is the result of greed and materialism.

Thats what they said about Europeans when they made colonies in all parts of
the world. Is it a privilege for the "Superior" white people to go and
plunder other nations? Doesn't your argument in fact support the notion that
white people have no right to plunder the natural resources of South Africa
or hold all the farm land in Zimbabwe. Who, in modern times, started the

Not really. All you have to do is imagine Homo Erectus differentiating

No. The specialists can't agree on whether the differences that they're

I thought that your reference would have some interesting information
to consider, but all it did for me was confirm your statement "the
history is one of imprecision". Like that needed doing: *all* the
disciplines have such a history.

human value to race. I hadn't known that before.

dingo. Do you expect anyone to take that as accurately representing
the taxonomical classification of dogs?

How very interesting. There is no "taxonomic subspecies" for a "population
or set of populations" of Canis Familiaris "that differ from all other
populations" of Canis Familiaris (and which, moreover, breed true).
That's exactly the same as the sitaution with "populations or sets of
populations" of Homo Sapiens Sapiens "that differ from all other
populations" of Homo Sapiens Sapiens (and, moreover, breed true), such
as negroes.
So do you deny that raciation has occurred in dogs?

You can show evidence of that? I remind you that I was responding to your
statement 'Otherwise you will have a "race" of the "blue-eyed" a race of
the "red haired" the "flat footed" and any or every trait you care to pull
out of your arse': terms of that nature have been thrown about by act-b's
resident ranting lunatic (Peter Wicks), but not by Bernard, AFAIK.
> He thinks that race is based on skin colour.
Skin colour is often used as a racial term. In informal discourse, it
provides an immediately recognisable reference. That doesn't mean that
those who use it think that race is based on skin colour.
As the race deniers (especially Guano) have been so eager to point out,
racism does not depend on the existence of a target race.

Some Jews have some semitic ancestry. To equate that with the almost

Your quibble is based on nothing more than Bernard's loose use of the

He he He!
The fat 'race', the skinny 'race', the tall 'race', the blu-eyed 'race
the big-feet 'race', the diabetic 'race', the TV-couch-potato 'race',
are all as meaningful, just as determined by human evolution,
as Ned's skin-colour racism, but then Ned is from the redneck
banjo-pluckin, pig fucking 'race'.
The difference between the blue-eyed 'race' the tall 'race' and Ned's
the bigots never-defined and thus imaginary 'races' is that the former
can be described by precise genetic markers, the latter has never been
rationally and logically defined! ;-)
Not quite true:-this is old theory. 80% of European genes derive from
paleolithic hunter gatherers that were isolated in Europe between 50,000 to
9,000 years ago. About 9000 years ago a major ice age ended and neolithic
peoples from the middel east started immigrating. In any one region their
concentration does not excede 20%. Eric Sykes covers this in His book "The
Seven Daughters of Eve". (He has also got a book called the 14 daughters of
Eve for non European peoples.) y-chromosome data has confirmed this.
This is the exact opposit theories that became current in the wake of WW2
which claimed that neolithics completely displaced 80% of paleolithic
Europeans. Much of this was bordering quackery and could only have have
gained currency in the wake of WW2 when defending the reality of European
uniqness was difficult.
European Caucausions (by the work of geneiticist) cover a broad range of
physiological types. Alpine and Nordic was one classification. There is
nothing wrong with making finer classifications. For instance the term
caucasian/white covers Arabs as well but clearly Bridgette Bardot is
different from and Arab woman. Celt, Germanic, Alpine, Nordic etc. All are
valud and still reflect Geographical reality to an extent.
The theory that 'Sami' are mongoloid is also woth reconsidering. There are
some unique genetic isolates but this is no indication that they mongoloids
that came back in to the fold after we split of from asians 60,000 years
ago.
> The
> Enlightenment is mentioning geographical area rather than race in defining
> his favoured group.
Races evolved in genetic isolation within geographic areas. I am not a
"Nordacist" though I have affection there. ( Both my nephews are blond
haired with blue eyes one has a classic has a Nordic heads)
I am committed to ALL Europeans against the ethnocidal replacement
immigration we are subjected to. I am I have close Serbian friend and
Ukrainian ones because I recognize that ALL people have a right to develop
their own culture in their own unique way. I do repudiate multiculturalism
gut laud the Swiss model. My Italian connections tend to be Milanese and I
have a soft spot for the Lega Nord but hell love Southern Italy. (note when
I am in Rome I do as the Romans do)
The basis for Pan European racial activism is not that we must emulate the
ethnocidal multiculuralists and homogenize ourselves totally but to
cooperate and passionately defend each others autonomy. Celebrate
Autonomy. I don't want to go to Italy or Denmark and find it over run with
Africans and I don't want to got to Italy and see it Anglicized.

I visibly punched the sky when Berlosconi stopped those asylum scamsters.
I user the example of "Northern Europeans" simply because it provides a
stronger contrast because they were subject to the evolutionary conditions
All Europeans experienced just a little longer. Quite often race deniers
will simply use the example that some Southern Europeans have strong tans as
indication that race doesn't exist.

By accusing someone of being 'racist' when the term used, "Anglo",
is NOT a race, has nothing to do with 'race' (and is in fact used
accurately and in context by someone who knows there is no such thing as
'race')
Ned hopes to smear others with the racist belief which apparently
even he thinks is offensive! Interesting how those who believe
in the 'race' myth, the racists, try so hard to project that label onto
others, even though they know it is illogical and innapropriate
to do so! B^)
I mean.. does anyone ever accuse Ned of being a Humanist? B^D
> As the race deniers (especially Guano) have been so eager to point out,
> racism does not depend on the existence of a target race.
You misrepresent by merging and confusing 'target' and 'race'.
Racism most definitely DOES depend on a target, but does
not require 'race' to be real. Just as Witchhunts clearly do have
targets, but they AIN'T WICHES, you medieval bovver boy! B^D
The target is formed on a misconception, a mythical construct,
something which does not exist, "race".
However, I am pleased to see you base your argument on accepting
my proposition that racism exists, 'race' doesn't!! B^D
It is very flattering to see you try and dig yourself out of
one lunatic assertion ("Anglo is a race") by accepting that
Anglo is no more a 'race' than any of the other things you claim
to be one! B^D
Of course the consequences for you, logically, are either
a) you claim that there is no such thing as 'Anglos', or
b) you admit that you were wrong to call them a 'race', or
c) you simply agree there are no 'races'!
Ned is so weak in logic he cannot grasp his admission.
Lets have some fun: "Ned tries to prove Witches exist: "
"Fasgnath has said that you can have witchunts even though
Witches are non-existent, so If I call him a witchunter
because he looks for Anglo's it's the same as him
calling me a witchunter for looking for witch's!" B^D
No, you fucking DIMWIT! Racism is the belief that 'RACEs'
exist, NOT the belief that ANGLO's exist!
BWAAAAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
Of course if you want to put up a case that 'Anglos' do not exist,
(especially as none of us have ever made the claims of unique,
genetic taxonomy for 'Anglo' which you racists have claimed for 'races')
please be our guest! B^D Indeed you seem to be well down
that path already!
(And now we watch Ned slink off, laughter at his stupidity once more
ringing in his ears. ;-)
Moron. There are greater genetic variations WITHIN
the categories the racists, variously, define, than there
are between them!

What's alleged about it? Is he funded by a racist eugenicist movement
or not?

Yeah. He doesn't provide a precise and unambigious definition of race,
but he sure use it at lot.
Logic to you means believing NAZI funded scientists.
Philippe Rushton is funded by the Pioneer Fund, which was founded by NAZI's.
How can a scientist that is funded by a NAZI group be credible???
"The Pioneer Fund was established in 1937 by the American white supremacist
multimillionaire Wickliffe Draper and others who were supportive of Nazi
race policies in Germany."

Point. Darwin made some fairly ridiculous claims about race. He also

The thing about racists like Benightedment, with his infinitely
variable 'definition' of 'race' is that if he's advocating against
immigrants from China, you are a 'fellow European' ,
otherwise, to him, you become another 'wog'.
In the 50's he and his ilk were whining about the Italians and the Greeks
coming here, taking our jobs and touching our wimmins.

The first step would be to get Hitler out of the equation. He wasn't a
racist. He was merely a German nationalist.
If Hitler had been a racist, he would have declared war on Japan immediately
after the Japs' attack on Pearl Harbour. The world would now be a very
different place if, after that event, he had stood up in the Reichstag and
declared:
"The Yellow Peril has struck a cowardly and dastardly blow at our white
brothers and sisters in America. In this their hour of peril and need, the
hearts, hands and prayers of every German go out to our American friends
whom we will do our utmost to help."
Something like that is what a racist would have said.
Instead, Hitler automatically declared war on White America on the basis of
his alliance with Asian Japan.
Adolf a racist? Nup, the record of history shows that the jolly old Fuhrer
was no racist.
In hindsight, personally, I wish he had been. The world today may have been
a much better place. But he wasn't, and all we can do is accept that fact.

The concept of "species" equivalently doesn't exist according to your
argument, because if we go back far enough in time then you and the
daddy-long-legs spider lurking somewhere in your house both had the same
ancestors. The fact, though, is that "You" and "Daddy" have grown apart over
the millenia. You and a "Daddy" can't reproduce sexually, which proves that
you are different species, but you still share common ancestors.
If the various human races and subraces had had time to develop further
before we were all thrown together, perhaps we would have all ended up
equally and mutually infertile.
