The issue of differences in the brains of white folks and other groups on the planet has been of interest to me as the the cross-cultural dude on Tips.Naturalistic observations would demonstrate that white folks are the most aggressive on the planet as it pertains to weapons of mass destruction and territorial grabs. But white folks are also the modt involved in many varieties of thought on virtually every subject.Many white folks institutional initiatives are based on thought and an ungoing thinking process. Underlying these motivations are the assumptions that the white brain is dominant in abstract cognitive functioning and that abstract cognitive functioning is the pillar that should guide all elements of political,social,and rational living.White folks appear to be more left brain dominant whereas other folks probably utilize both brain hemispheres,but left brain hemispheric functioning seem to be dominant in white folks.There is a tendency of white folks to rationalize symbols even though symbols do not have to be rational. As many physiological psychologists will attest that rationalistic left brain hemispheric dominance makes it difficult to access the right brain hemispheric domain,but being right brain functional facilitates access to the left hemisphere.This may help explain why women (who are rught brain dominant) can still cope with pain and continue her daily rational tasks. Eor more information about the white brain.let recommend a work by U of Toronto anthropolist "The iceman inheritance".Interestingly enough,to many white folks cognitive rectitude is might.This has been the driving force behind the so called manifest destiny that have led to the put down of other knowledge and cultural bases as inferior to that of white folks.Ironically,white folks can "feel good" like James Brown,but I doubt they mean the same thing.
