1. I'm thinking they're unwilling to believe the science behind why they're white & others aren't LOL
But, color me shocked that they don't listen to science.

I always thought darker pigmentation was from being nearer the equator over generations, and lighter skinned was from being further away from it. Okay, just went to wiki, and it said those with higher UVR over time, generally located closer to the equator, tend to have darker-skinned offspring. So, I think it's just one of those, "you're not like us, so we're better" arguments.

As for the racists, hasn't it always been that a large portion of any tribe/region believes their people are superior to others? Well, the large portion being the ignorant portion. LOL
What always got me at church (which I still enjoyed most of the time, because of the general praise of God for life itself) was the hundred different theologies and teachings that were focused upon at whichever congregation I was attending (been in many states). So, that goes to the argument about the white supremacist religious kooks of the Christian Identity belief.


And, a good topic like this is one way to snag me into commenting! lol... I also bumped a great thread by NE, about eating healthy.

Even though I rarely post, I do check every month to see what was posted. So... simply ----
