Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
Again, great point, but what point I thought was "great" was essentially the need to move to a place where people don't focus on such differences. Big deal, in other words. It's interesting that Dogs don't seem to give a damn about breed, yet are thought of as "less intelligent" than we. I'm starting to question that. We need to move to a point of outlawing racist behavior. Period.

I think it may have been our a couple different books or papers... and if that's the case I'll have to do some hunting... but... the particular example I was thinking about when I wrote that was that of Proto-Germanic. There's evidence to suggest that Proto-Germanic was a Creole language. And something else I read was arguing that the Germanic people's are a hybrid of (at least) Celtic people and today what we call Iranian people. There were some other arguments citing similarities between the old Aryan religion Zoroastrianisms... and Pre-Christian Germanic mythology (But you say that around some people will have all sorts of political fallout.) After reading some of that, I was actually wondering myself as to whether there was a link between the "runes" and the ancient Aryan wedge writing (that I can't remember the English name for right now). But I don't know enough about "runes" to really even guess on it.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
Hello, I know this probably doesn't help your argument, but... there IS actually genetic evidence for "race" (or whatever you want to call it). It's just that they don't necessarily fall along the lines people are drawing up. Alot of the lines people seem to draw up seem to be based on politics... instead of genetics. And there's alot more interbreeding and mixing going on than most people probably realize. And it's been going on for quite a while. (Take a look at some of the studies using mitochondrial dna.) Also, even though some of the divisions are supported by the genetic data,... some of the people's others tend to group into one "race" aren't one "race" according to the genetic data... but are essentially different groups. There's also alot of things Anthropologists wouldn't dare "say" because of the political ramifications. (For example, Anthropologists wouldn't dare use the word "species" in describing different people. Also, wouldn't dare push the point that certain langauges developed from Creole languages in certain parts of the world... because that implies a mixing of different people in the past. Etc etc.) I don't think going about this with the "scientific" card is going to help. It's what people do that matters. What do they do if they are racist? Do they attack people because of it? If they do argue it on a moral point.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
Hi, I think the bottom line is if we really don't want to see others harmed or cause harm to them -- for whatever silly color or sex reason (there's no scientific support for the idea of race divisions amoung humans) -- we need to take up vlog arms agains the action. We need to be the breakwater. Even if we take the draconian step of accusing those who are that way of being mentally ill. An approach the American Psyciatric Association has discussed and is close to adopting. The claim of 40 percent of their members is that racism is a mental illness.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
I guess, for me, it boils down to communicating this question: "Would you say something to hurt a person's feelings just because your skin is different than there own? If your answer is yes, then America has a problem..." That's how I'd start a vlog. And it's because the bottom line is that some think they have the right to hurt the feeling of others for no good reason. None. It's getting bad. The NYPD just shot a Black man unarmed 50 times -- no explaination. It's as if we're animals. And that's the point, those of us who are not animals must take action to curb those who are.
