Re: Evolution provides the popular imagination with reasons for racism
quote:
The Jews of the day did call for Jesus' execution and for the release of another instead, one Barabbas. But Jesus forgave all His persecutors so there is no excuse for persecuting the Jews based on that Biblical fact.
According to Matthew the Jews took the guilt upon themselves, and all their descendants. Luke has Jesus forgive somebody but in the context it is quite likely those that were actually carrying out the crucifixion, and therefore not even Jews.
Even if you interpret it more generally it doesn’t seem to be required by the text.

Re: Racism and anthropology
It should be obvious from what has already been posted that the ideas of race used by racists do not generally agree with the biological concept of races. If you haven’t been following the discussion you have only yourself to blame.

Re: Racism and anthropology
You were responding to NoNukes, complaining about ad hominem again. I pointed out that NoNukes is right. You really don’t understand the issues of race. Consider the one drop rule again and tell me that it makes biological sense.

Re: Racism and anthropology

I responded to Coyote with my understanding of how races come about. I have no reason whatever to think anything different than that.
You responded with a biological idea which has very little to do with the idea of race in social contexts - such as dealing with racism.
quote:
NoNukes said nothing about my description just started putting me down personally
NoNukes correctly pointed out that you didn’t understand the issues.
quote:
What led you to get into this I have no idea
I got into this because you were ignoring points I had already made.
quote:
...and I don't even know what you are talking about.
And thus you prove that NoNukes was correct.

Re: Racism and anthropology
If you don’t like people pointing out that you don’t know what you are talking about it is a good idea to avoid posting things that are ignorantly wrong.
