Haven't evolved in 100,000 years. No contact with the white race

You are conflating genetic variation with the social construct of race.I wrote this as a response to someone who said there was no such thing as race, and then the whole thread got deported to the Badlands. Could someone help me understand why this happened? I don’t see it as racist.
Is this racist?
“What is this for you guys? Is this some kind of religion?. The father's of the scientific revolution would be disappointed with people like you. You are definitely not a scientist; things are not true because you want them to be true. They thought they were putting an end to superstition and ignorance; they didn't realize it would just transform. It doesn't matter what the motivation is for denying the truth is still the truth. If we ever forget that we're on our way back to holding witch trials and burning witches.
Races are a fact, they can be observed, and predictions can be made: have you ever heard of Derrick Todd Lee (November 5, 1968 – January 21, 2016), also known as The Baton Rouge Serial Killer. He escaped detection because the FBI and local police were looking for a white man based on an FBI profile and a faulty witness description. When DNA gathered at a crime scene was analyzed, it showed that the suspect was a black man. Most were unwilling to accept that DNA could identify an individual's race. However, they were looking for a man that didn't exist. After police accepted that fact, Lee was identified and captured. His DNA matched the collected DNA evidence.
Have you ever heard of forensic anthropology? These people can take a skull of an unidentified person and reconstruct the face based on racial differences with a rather good accuracy. They couldn't do that if there were no racial differences.
It appears that the left only believes in science only when it tells them what they want to hear, but that's not the way it works. The truth is the truth, whether you like it or not. I have to say that perhaps the right can be just as bad in some ways and even us moderates. I believe René Descartes said something like; perception often deceives us. I am wrong sometimes, but I try very hard to see the world, not as I want to see it but as it is.”
Race is a labeling of genetic variations that have developed between isolated population groups. Two "purebred" Caucasian people are not going to mate and produce Chinese (Asian) offspring.You are conflating genetic variation with the social construct of race.
True. But if present with an array of symptoms that don’t show up in a general family history survey, knowing your racial or ethnic background might help with a quicker diagnosis.No, clearly genetic variation matters in medicine, not race.
Just like, when you go into a doctor's office, they ask you for your family history of disease. . . they do this for everyone, no matter your genetic heritage.
Evolution's Sore LosersThe concept of race is solely based on skin color nothing else which is why is a Social Construct nothing more.
It is why I keep saying this is a political construct used to generate categories of humans into a separate group based on a single criteria yet there is actually only ONE Human Species existing no "race" varieties are listed.
ALL Human being have the SAME gene for Melanin which differs by concentration in person by person which is why we see many shades of skin color though the world.
When you go sunbathing the skins color darkens because Melanin production is simulated.
How come no one is creating a "race" based idea on lip size or color of eyes so on, but YOU know why they don't exist......
Maybe this will help?
10.2 The Meaning of Race and Ethnicity
Simian Uprising"Nobody is saying race is the same species. Race is a sub classification of species."
You sure about that?
Here is the OFFICIAL Science Classification for Humans,
Wikipedia:
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Suborder: Haplorhini Infraorder: Simiiformes Family: Hominidae Subfamily: Homininae Tribe: Hominini Genus: Homo Species: H. sapiens
Nope Race isn't listed at all because it is a social/political construct.
It is not entirely a political construct, there are biological characteristics. Skin color is easy to focus on, but you have differences in metabolism, for example, and other traits that distinguish groups and explain why certain diseases are more prevalent in certain groups.The concept of race is solely based on skin color nothing else which is why is a Social Construct nothing more.

10.2 The Meaning of Race and Ethnicity
Thinks they’ve evolved….
No it isn't. It's an arbitrary construct. For example what do you mean by Caucasian? Do you specifically mean people from the Caucus region? Do you mean white Europeans in general? Do you mean it historically which included people from Europe, Asia and North Africa? Do you realize that there could be many genetic variations between people considered Asian, Caucasian or black, even amongst each other? There is as much if not more genetic variation between people from different parts of Africa than there is between people from Africa and Europe. That means two "black" people from different regions of Africa could have more genetic variation between each other as they do with someone considered "white". If we tried to categorize people by genetic variation rather than general skin color or region we would have several thousand different races, not a handful.Race is a labeling of genetic variations that have developed between isolated population groups.

This is what liberalism does to the mindThere is as much if not more genetic variation between people from different parts of Africa than there is between people from Africa and Europe?

Every word in every language is an arbitrary construct; however, that doesn't mean that the words don't communicate reality.No it isn't. It's an arbitrary construct.

What I quoted from you is pure nonsense (as is all the rest). If you can't see it, you're not worth the time.
Refute anything I said with facts if you can, short bus.
What I see is you not having the intellectual capability to describe why its nonsense.What I quoted from you is pure nonsense (as is all the rest). If you can't see it, you're not worth the time.

Yes you are a racist. Any more questions?I wrote this as a response to someone who said there was no such thing as race, and then the whole thread got deported to the Badlands. Could someone help me understand why this happened? I don’t see it as racist.
