Emancipation Day.

While some of the a hole U S states want segregation in schools and try hard to stop non-whites from voting.
What has that got to do with Emancipation Day?

Just showing how it means nothing to many.
You didn't "show" anything. You had claimed that Canada didn't have slavery andI pointed out that you were dead wrong.

I am all for finding out fittest and following their best advice.
As I have pointed out before, you misunderstand what "fittest" means.
How are those of us who are NOT the "fittest" capable of deciding who the "fittest" are? Historically, the Hitlers, etc. choose THEMSELVES as the "fittest".

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 couldn't find it in The Expanded Quotable Einstein or in Barlett's Familiar Quotations.
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.
You said, "We test and select our fittest in many areas by competition." Message 121
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.
Greatest I am writes:
All I have indicated is that white has taken a step backwards demographically, by helping more non-whites than whites.
So stupidity is being selected out by natural selection.

I was using a running race. You must be the only one who sees races without blacks. They usually win.
You said that "we" select "our" fittest for positions of power in business and politics. Message 92
That doesn't sound like a running race to me. It sounds like white people choosing white people.

Ask the right wingers if they were aware of the numbers before changing the laws.
They didn't change the laws because of numbers. They changed the laws because of doctrinaire politics.

I think we are all racist, and should stand proudly so as that term relates to group loyalty and fellowship.
I agree that we are all racist but it is NOT something to be proud of. Racism may have been "productive" in the days when small groups were competing for limited resources but it is counter-productive in a global context.
Greatest I am writes:
Racism is created by our love for self and not the hate of others.
How does lynching black people reflect love for self?
Greatest I am writes:
That hate is self and peer imposed, to be used to protect what is loved and in jeopardy.
See above. What is the Ku Klux Klan protecting?

It's easy to see what's wrong with "the other side". It's hard to see past the beam in your own eye.
