The Reality of Racial Differences

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-02 6:26

The culture of the age that we live in is founded on a lie: racial egalitarianism. It is an article of faith in the West that all racial differences in abilities and personality stem from environmental, rather than biological, factors.

This dogma has been conventional wisdom among the Western elites since 1950, when the United Nations published its “Statement on Race,” which declared: “There is no proof that the groups of mankind differ in their intelligence or temperament. The scientific evidence indicates that the range of mental capacities in all ethnic groups is the same…. Genetic differences are not of importance in determining the social and cultural differences between different groups of Homo sapiens.” Link, p. 102.

In succeeding years this belief has entrenched itself. A 2003 documentary on PBS, entitled Race: The Power of an Illusion, expressed a view that is more or less entirely unchallenged today in the media and most of the academy: race is a myth constructed by whites to justify colonialism and slavery.

Have you looked up the word egoism, altruism, and then egotistic?

A brief summary:
Egoism-
(Philos.) The doctrine of certain extreme adherents or disciples of Descartes and Johann Gottlieb Fichte, which finds all the elements of knowledge in the ego and the relations which it implies or provides for.

Altruism-
(Animal Behavior) Behavior by an animal that may be to its disadvantage but that benefits others of its kind, as a warning cry that reveals the location of the caller to a predator.

Egotistic-
characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense of self-importance

Doesn't it almost seem to appear as though egoism was about self-respect, but was then mistook for egotistic behavior and so the natural solution was the antithesis of altruistic behavior but doesn't almost seem that altruistic behavior is actually culprit to egotistical behavior being as though it ultimately leads to self-preserving ends? This is an interesting question I'd like to pursue. Anyone else?
