I was just discussing this with my allergist and how European and African people have 'wet' earwax where Asian's have 'dry' earwax. He didn't know this but thought about it and said, "You know, I don't get many Orientals but now that I think back on it I can't remember any of them having a build up of earwax."

He's and older Hispanic gentleman.

I dunno, too many smart Black guys around to think there is any measurable variance in intelligence by race.

One key to understanding conflicting results is that "Africans" is not a homogeneous group at all. Because humans evolved in Africa, they had the longest time to evolve big differences between groups there. The genetic (and linguistic) diversity of Africa is huge, with genetic differences between the various groups often larger than the genetic difference between Europeans and Asians, who represent a fairly small subset of the genetic diversity of Africa.

Tallest people in the world? The Tutsi, in Africa. Shortest people in the world? The pygmies, in Africa.
Fastest sprinters in the world? All of them have West African background. Best marathoners? Almost all are from East Africa.

So you'd think that intelligence would also show a similar range in Africa.

The Igbo of Nigeria seems quite smart, doing very well at Western universities (and running a lot of those "Nigerian prince" scams).

But with some other African groups, not so much. The really surprising result would be if intelligence were not measurably different among human groups the way it is with dogs.

Carefully worded question to ChatGPT

This is correct and by comparison all of the 'races' that left Africa look relatively quite inbred. All of them. But then the entire human race is pretty damn inbred relative to other animals AND relative to all of the other 'humans' that were running around 30, 60, 90 thousand years ago. There may be nearly 8 billion of us now but back then much more genetic diversity.

Some biologists have concern that something will come along and wipe us out because there will not be some edge case genetic variants that are able to survive whatever that might be.

Note: Neanderthals are also considered humans, etc.,

My only beef with the above picture is the plane needs the IHS flag:

Please, always be inclusive: in the Church and in society, which is still marred by many forms of inequality and marginalization. Always be inclusive. Today, the day in which Bishop Scalabrini becomes a saint, I think of emigrants. The exclusion of emigrants is scandalous. Actually, the exclusion of emigrants is criminal. They are dying right in front of us, as the Mediterranean is the largest cemetery in the world. The exclusion of emigrants is revolting, sinful and criminal. Not opening doors to those in need – “No, we do not exclude them, we send them away” to camps, where they are exploited and sold like slaves. Brothers and sisters, today let us call to mind these emigrants, especially those who are dying. And those who are able to enter, do we welcome them as brothers and sisters or do we exploit them? I simply pose the question.

That whole thread on Twitter was hilarious.

TBH I didn't understand at first that they were talking about the low-battery chirp of smoke detectors.

Its really a single mom and esp. single black thing.

Kevin Samuels was probably the first to call it out, something like half the female callers had it going on.

A Jesuit gig for sure, and the Pope is a Baphomet variety, NWO Satanist. Of course, some think the Pope is just another mask wearing avatar, the original peach of a Pope being demised. But then, like Biden Actor, who is pulling the strings?

Jesuits pretty much own Latin America, having been in on the ground floor. If they didn't want the open border thing to happen, it wouldn't have happened.

More souls to exploit, the dumber, the more bare foot and pregnant, the better.

You believe any nonsense provided it's not part of mainstream television.

Yep, and they established their dream Theosocialism in the "Reductions of Paraguay" once.

Liberation theology, Casas de Migrantes, etc.

Never trust "mainstream news". Where are the sources? I was raised Catholic, there's a TON of lies about the Church all the time. Not defending the church either, but this sounds like bullshit. The RCC is a political organization used to collect money, and they've been following a formula for over 1000 years. The RCC is very slow to move.

This is the National Political Incorrectness Day Thread.

Bart has to shiv some white professional woketard on that episode.

Someone forgot to wear a t shirt, that's the news.

Obama let Hunter fuck and snort with his stage prop daughters. Who knows what Obama and Big Mike did with them. They are distressed merchandise at this point, from a bizarre and confusing menagerie. Maybe a few decades of therapy might sort it out.

@gabbar Where is that image from?

From Twitter/X. It was publicly available. It may be Israeli soldiers holding Palestinian fighters. Not sure though. I will try to find the link.
Update: I can't find the link on Twitter

Emergency Teach In about the Israel-Hamas war at UCLA

Same guys who like to teach you emphatically the Spartans were oiled S&M fags will now school you on Mideastern politics.

Teach-In, how Berkeley of them. I'm sure they are objective and have no agenda.

Victoria Secret gets into the Freak Show business...only w/o the pitched tent and dirty straw on the floor.

What is a "teach-in" and what could make it an emergency?

The conflict has been going on since Israel's inception.
