This only thing absurd is your libelous claim that I was implying that
skin genes have anything to do with this real phenomenon.
This is the sort of outrageous crap that comes up from those on the
list who don't want to be confused by the facts, who prefer to attack
the messenger rather than examine some really uncomfortable truths and
try to objectively find some real causes and possible cures for
significant cultural problems. Such individuals would rather deny that
such facts are real, they would prefer to slander those who claim they
are real (much as a recent poster mentioned a hypothetical planet where
awakened Idiots are killed off for noticing the pluw is bogus).
I think that possibly one reason such people don't want to examine such
uncomfortable truths is that aside from claiming a melanin connection,
the only explaination they can think of is that their own liberal
attitudes of abdicating personal responsibility, of telling minorities
that they are right to be pissed off, that they (and not just their
n'th removed ancestors) are oppressed and are justified in resenting
whitey. This is another truth that they don't want to face and will
vigorously shout down those who mention its possibility, as I expect to
see in response to this post....
