Discoverer of DNA retires over race row saying blacks not as clever as whites

Why do you want everyone to read? I would prefer a middle age literacy level and be among the very elite with my education.

In simplier terms, that statement is true but ignorant at the same time. The reason light skinned societies are on a whole more adavancved than dark skinned societies is because the lighter skinned people are so because of the climate they lived in and vice versa. Dark skinned people lived in prodominantly tropic regions where technology isn't exactly needed for people to get by as farming is fairly easy all year round. Because light skinned people lived in harsher cold climates, they need to create things to aid their struggle. When you're making things for farming, it's bound to happen that you'll stumble upon other things as well.

It is a shame tho that they have all but abandoned a man who revolutionized science because of one thing he said that isn't 100% inaccurate. Europeans were more technologicaly advanced (here's the mix up between actual intelligence and how its applied) than africans because they had to be to maintain life where they lived. More environmental challenges (or challenges in general) make way for new technological adavances. Having technology doesn't necessarialy indicate learning potential but people who have experienced a more scientific based culture will on the whole know more about things than those who are more rural/spiritual.

thats pretty selfiish



that sounds like what an elite christian church member would say.

ur not an archbishop are you ???

Selfish??? I didn't know we were talking about selfish? I am just talking hypothetically........It would be okay to be one of the few that is literate. That is all. No I dont go to church, but if the shoe fits were it, if the truth hurts, bear it.
