You dont stop at a red light in S.A unless nesacary and bars on house windows is common due to the prolific crime levels and unfortunately these crimes have a disproportionate representation from the black community. Remember these people have been conditioned from a young age to be wary of black people so I dont think it is a standard hate racism, more a result of experience. If the same people grew up in an afulant area in America surround by a large black community comprising of doctors, bankers etc they could have a different outlook, afterall there has to be a reason so many white s Africans dislike blacks? its the same as most irish people not liking gypsies, it does not make them bad people for holding an opinion shaped by experience.

gallag wrote: » But what if one race is superior to another in certain quantifiable metrics? Is it absurd to believe that black people make the best 100m sprinters? What if you are a white south African and you have lived your life in fear of being a victim of the crime from the black community, does the behavioural conditioning that results from this make you a racist?
gallag wrote: » thats a different debate though, you are looking to get to the crux of social inequality and find the reason why more blacks are involved in crime and I suspect we would agree on a lot of that debate but we are talking here if a white south African is a racist for being wary of black south africans, you admit your self the blacks will be more prone to crime because you offer a argument for the reason why, and that is valid, but alas the fact is they are more prone to crime and it is logical to be more wary of black people in South Africa.

I don't like unusual smells of cooking eminating from a bedroom, I don't like unidentified bits of meat hanging in the garden and dirty sanitary towels throw into a garden. I don't like the sounds of little girl crying late at night next door and the mumbled tones on an adult man. I don't like the regular waste being put into green bins. I don't like a multitude of cars parked illegally without a screed of tax or insurance. I don't like it that windows are not washed, the paint is peeling, the gutters overgrown and the garden is turning into a wilderness. I don't like it that the woman is carrying all the bags of shopping and he walks hands behind his back. Does that make me racist?

You are living a very sheltered life

gallag wrote: » Well, time to let the cat amongst the pigeons, we can agree that all races are not equal, white people have better pancreas and ability to combat heart disease and black people are more physically gifted, you have accepted that and when faced with facts like out of the 83 people to run 100m in under 10 seconds on 1 was not black its hard to argue the numbers. So we are at a point where we can all agree the numbers show that black people have an athletic advantage over white people, now where it gets troublesome is when you use the numbers to prove a negative, if you look at the numbers again you will see that white people have a intellectual advantage over black people, I am not saying black people are stupid just as I was not saying that all white people were slow, its just at the top end of intellectual achievement black people are as underrepresented as white people are in the 100m sprint, no black man has won a noble prise for math or science and if you Google 100 smartest people of all time you will notice the same trend. all races are not equal, some have advantages in some areas and some do not, out of the billions of chinese and indian people how many are competing in the top end of sport like boxing, football or mma? Yet there is such a high representation of them in the academic/medical world. I think to ignore these differences and pretend they are not real is silly, if we can all accept that black people have physical gifts and white people have some better internal organs why is it so emotive to suggest that white or indeed Indian people might have advantages in the brain department?
