Black people

You have to hand it to Mr Wells - his Eloi and Murlocks both came from the same race

AUSTRALIA POPULATION
15 million

Jobs - Unemployment
Aboriginals are 4 times more likely to be unemployed than other Australians.

INCOME
Aboriginal households receive 60% of the income of white households.

EDUCATION
80% of adult Aboriginals have no educational qualifications.

HOUSING
National figures are not available but a survey of Aboriginal housing in Queensland in 1979 found that:

63% was totally unacceptable
34% was acceptable but needed repair
3% was on par with normal white Australia standards.
HEALTH
National figures unavailable but survey in New South Wales in 1980 found that infant mortality among Aboriginals was 52 per 1000—four times the national average.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
Aboriginal life expectancy is 52 years, 20 years less than the national average.

LAW
In West Australia, Aboriginals are only 4% of the total population, but 33% of the prison population. In Victoria an Aboriginal has 45% more chance of going to jail than a white.

time: now

place: outside the US.

 

are aboriginals blacks?

 

Yes

The aboriginal inhabitants of the island were Black people who probably went there by crossing an ancient land bridge that connected Tasmania to the continent of Australia.

Thats what I thought, nowhere.

 

I'm not sure why you object to the European colonizers preserving their culture and values. Surely there were indigenous peoples in Australia, but they accomplished nothing and are thousands of years backwards, though perhaps are of interest to anthropologists.

People of the world always prefer themselves, their culture, and their values. Do you really think Australia would benefit by having more people live in mud huts without civilization?

While those who lose their nation to new visitors can call it unfair, that is just the natural the way of history. Now westerners are being displaced in their nations and soon Muslims will dominate Europe and Australia, while mestizos will dominate the United States. Just as cows might argue that slaughter for hamburger is "oppressive" or "inhumane", that is just their position against a larger order where no compromise is available.

 

Indeed.

 

That's what I thought. You are an idiot. Even white people have it better outside the US. Why not black people? Anyway. I thought aborigines (australian ones) had their origin in India.

I think your definition of black cannot be maintained. It seems to include a diverse group of people with hardly anything in common except the colour of their skin.

 

This takes the cake, firecross.
Your namesake is what I originally suspected.

 

Lewontin's argument is derived from poor logic. He is measuring statistics, not data.

Also, the Gould counterargument is NOT a strawman; it's based on the construction of Gould's argument, which IS a strawman.

Best.

 

Oh, you won't support that without resorting to A.W.F. Edwards' "Fallacy" paper directly.

Whatever you meant eludes us both. Characterization is essential to grouping loci coherently.

If it is what I suspect, you'll find your "source" and any or all that refer to it on even shakier ground, because Edwards' likelihood function is misapplied at best; irrelevant at worst, and by contrast the worst one can actually say of Lewontin is that his argument was one-sided, once upon a time...

If this is the crowning achievement of your persuasiveness and ability to postulate beyond mere assertion, this transparent tu quoque; then all that's left... is to part amicably-

Same.

 

Oops, it turns back on you: your assertion had no supporting evidence, thus not only do you fail, but you're a hypocrite. GOOD WORK.

 

Nope - meaning is clear to those who understand what must be understood to see the truth of this topic. You, however, may not be familiar with those skills. Not my problem

The assertion which you appear to be referring to has the supporting evidence of your very own words (which preceded it); either you do not know what "tu quoque" means or you're referring to some other unspecified assertion, which I would gladly clarify.

The meaning of "He is measuring statistics, not data" is unclear, and evidently beyond your will or ability to articulate.

...

If this isn't a strawman, then you can cite the reference directly from Gould or his peers:

...

There must be a silent plea of "no contest" when one excludes AWF Edwards' analysis of Lewontin's discovery: that greater genetic distances within karyotypes than between phenotypes indeed means that there is no scientific basis for "race" as a taxonometric division among HSS, unless you are willing to declare dozens of races and thousands of sub-races of Humanity; one for each permutation of phenotypic combinations just to satisfy a "statistical certainty of non-misclassification."

The end synthesis of Edwards' complaints of Lewontin amount to one reasonable conclusion, that the fewer loci one examines leads one to less certainty of cross classification, however, the absurdity is in the corollary expressed by the chart on page 799 (of this ref) of Edwards' essay, which is that "one can be sure that races are properly identified when one looks at more and more genetic loci"... absurd because 100% certainty can never be obtained.

...

Your first problem, so far, is apparently misunderstanding the subject matter; that "race" just isn't a workable scientific taxonomy for Humans living today.

What one calls "black" or "white" is relative, culturally, and demonstrably superficial.

 

climate,

hot = darker skin

cold = lighter skin,


and thats all there is too it, races are just simply due to climate and enviroment with adaptations to the terrain/weather,


what more is there to it than weather and enviroment?,


evolution.


peace.

 

Well, they start to think that maybe a black skin helps the immunosystem fight of infections. Some other fuction of melanin.
