I gave you a race scenario above.
We test and select our fittest in many areas by competition.

I keep telling you you're misunderstanding the word "fittest". "Survival of the fittest" is not measured by our contrived tests. If we select the one that wins our test, that's artificial selection. If we set the fitness parameters - e.g. whitest - that has nothing to do with fitness for survival. (Unless you're going to kill off the ones that don't fit your parameters.)

I know. That's why I said "attributed to". A similar quote is attributed to Richard Feynman, though he supposedly said, "eight-year-old."
Apparently, Einstein actually said something like the opposite - that you can't be expected to explain physics to a six-year-old.
But I think the supposed quote has validity in the context of Greatest I am calling me a "retarded child".

I did not indicate that whites had different parameters of fitness.
Geography likely favors the largest or most powerful groups though.
Location location location. This aside.
All I have indicated is that white has taken a step backwards demographically, by helping more non-whites than whites.
Restitution, in a sense, FMPOV.

How is it not whites who select their idea of the "fittest"?
And note that you also said "our" fittest, suggesting that "we" select only from the whites.

So stupidity is being selected out by natural selection.

To your first.
I was using a running race. You must be the only one who sees races without blacks. They usually win.
To your last
It might not be stupidity.
It might be benevolent for all I know.
I see it as restitution, in a certain sense.
Ask the right wingers if they were aware of the numbers before changing the laws.
None have given that here.
Regardless, you will see the opposite of whatever I write, so thanks for ending this here.

What we see is you stirring the cauldron of racial emotions while claiming to be merely observing society in this one aspect. Typical reich-wing troll.
And, no, I don't think this ends here. You may go, but you'll be back. Trolls gottta troll.

Blatant racism is never a good look.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

That doesn't sound like a running race to me. It sounds like white people choosing white people.

This reminds me of the description in Freakonomics of the Ceaucescu regime's banning of abortion. Two decades after the ban took effect, crowds of unhappy young people were demonstrating against the regime. Those crowds probably included a lot of unhappy people who would not have been born if the abortion ban had not been enacted.
It did not end well for the regime.

I am all in for white people being for white people.
I am a strong advocate for tribal group loyalty and fellowship.
I am also all in for white people now paying the restitution owed to non-whites and natives.

Thanks for associating the work.
May this new regime, thanks to modern ways and means, never have a chance to take root.
Dem men should send their female Dems to have their own Jan.6 to show their freedom loving balls.
Dem men do not seem to have any of Dem freedom loving balls.
