He had probably learned Chinese and studied Marxism and quantum physics thus foregoing the usual jail leisure pursuits of gang raping "vulnerable" inmates.
When The Man realised what a revolutionary threat Floyd had become through his studying on all these things they knew they had to take him out like Trayvon and the other dragons

Jesus H Christ....it looks like something an 8 year old school child would put together and reads like it too...
Did anyone see Alexandria Cortez Ocasio the NY Congresswoman talking about the massive surge in NY crime...she said it couldn't be because of the $1bn budget cut to the NYPD as that hasn't kicked in yet....what a complete moron...I wouldn't like to visit NY when that budget cut kicks in!!!!
The more we see of these "empowered" ones the more we see of the complete s##tshow they are creating....
The first people out the door of these cities will be the businesses that can move!!!
What a bunch of idiots!!!
She is advising the Biden campaign...good grief!!!0 -

It has been somewhat overegged in the media and some scientists because they didn't expect to find any, so 0.2% is a big deal. Europeans on the other hand would have more like 2%, even 4% if you go by the old scale and longer sequences with it. Ditto for East Asians and they have Denisovan on top(some populations have near 9-10% Denisovan going on).Yellow_Fern wrote: »But someone mentioned something untrue about neanderthal DNA (that it is frequent in Africa) so I felt I should jump in and correct the record...
On the archaic admixture front there are fairly well defined mixes along geographical and old style "race" lines. Europeans have Neandertal and no Denisovan, or any of the African archaic lines. Asians have both Denisovan and Neandertal(though different to Europeans which suggests two different times when we broke out the flowers, Champagne and the Barry White CD), but no African archaic. Africans(sub Saharan in particular) have no Denisovan and tiny amounts of Neandertal from backwash or a holdover from a common ancestor, but do have African archaic humans of their own equivalent to Neandertals/Denisovans.
Never mind that it looks like there's a third, likely a fourth archaic in the mix in Asia and Africa respectively. There are almost certainly more going on. It's not until relatively recently that we've really started to pick apart the human journey and it's a lot more interesting than we thought. /OffTopic
Though maybe more relevant to this discussion on "race" is how through time we perceived these archaics. Neandertals were the first to be identified(and given their name by a lad from Galway) and because of bad reconstructions and perceptions of the time of the "Missing Link" and deep seated holdovers from religion, they were painted as primitives, pre Adam, not human ape men with cudgels and grunts. That general idea persisted. After all if you think about it of all the other humans that have called this planet theirs, the only scientific named one in the common mind, and as an insult, is "Neandertal". The African Americans who buy into the Nation if Islam type stuff clutch to it as an explanation and insult.
However when we found that modern Europeans were related to them, there was a *gulp* moment, but then it was interesting to see them being reevaluated overnight and the bias went the other way and looked for commonalities and innovation and intelligence and culture etc. And found it. Most of which was hiding in plain sight in museums and research centres for decades. But because of the "primitive missing link" bias it was largely ignored. The reconstructions of what they looked like moved away from the ape and more and "European". From Hairy Ugg with cudgel to pale skinned, light eyed and red haired and body painted and ornamented. In not much more than a year, maybe 18 months.
Basically it illustrates how bias can be so popular and persuasive and "fact" and sometimes even aggressively protective of itself, even when the raw facts stare you in the face. We see this in both White and Black, or Whomever racists. They may start from different ports, but they follow the same heading to the same degree and destination.Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

Eh, who the holy fcuk is justifying it??mrkiscool2 wrote: »And they were sterilised. That is far more than just discrimination, its absolutely abhorrent. You can't justify it no matter how you try.
I am most certainly not and christ knows where you got that impression. All I said was it was interesting that of all the "subhumans" the nazis listed and listed for "removal" the African Germans weren't and you might expect with actual hardcore nazis they'd be among the first for "final solutions".
Oh and of the nazi sterilisation programme and Black Germans the estimate for how many were subjected to this crime is around 500, out of a population in Germany at the time of 20,000.
My point, again in case you missed it is, given how modern "fascists"* and racists look to Black Africans as the enemy and at the top of the list of "go back to where you came from" peoples(Jews tend to come second, so in that they're more in line with the little Austrian corporal), I just found it interesting that the state sanctioned actually murderously racist and actual fascists were least(not a high bar) actively murderous against Black people living in the reich, when one would imagine they'd be among the first in line.
*who for the most part aren't and like the antifa morons don't know what the word means.Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

The Germans in general, and the nazis, simply didn't view blacks in any different light that than the rest of Europe, or most of the world for that matter. They were just "lesser" people, in much the same way as the average British or French person would have seen them.
As for nazi racial policy, they were pretty much exempt from the target list, as it were, because they weren't view as a "threat", in the same way that the Slav or the Jew were.
There was an interesting book, whose title is next to my mind right now, written a number of years ago by a black German man, who was a boy living in German during the 40's. Interesting from the point of view of what didn't happen, as opposed to what people might think would have.0 -
