Some of those Arawaks were real Maroons.

If ethnic pride/identity is encouraged in groups then invariably as European Americans become another minority they will adopt the same mindset.

Diamond omitted any actual psychometric research - the Snyderman/Rothman survey in 1988 for example indicated that far more researchers attribute group differences to both genetic and environmental variation than environment alone.

Diamond's book is also out of date on genetics - it transpires that genetic change actually accelerated as groups migrated out of Africa and adapted to new environments. The odds that different physical and cultural environments would identically favor the same behavioural and cognitive traits is remote. See 'The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution' for a more up to date assessment.

White men invented everything. It's a fact. Facts are stubborn things.

No they weren't. they were employed by the government. But there were no Black men on the project -- the government always calls in the white people when the "actual work" needs to get done.

Bring it. All I need is a split second to get to know you.

I'm afraid I must point out that is was also White Men who decided it was a good idea to bring blacks to this continent. Look how that turned out.

White penisful jesusosity. Or maybe white jesusous penisfulness. Possibily even Jesusous white penisfulness.

Considering the plantation higherarchy, white is definitely more important than penisful.

i can only add (and frankly it's been too long since i've thought about any of this):

♫♫♫ I was sent from planet Xiron to conquer the earth I had a terrific plan — I thought it would work Tried to get the Earthlings all to kill each other you see But it all went wrong and now I must decree…

You are worthless Alec Baldwin, you are worthless Alec Baldwin You failed in every way and now my stock in you has fallen Your career is stallin’ and you’re worthless Alec Baldwin That’s why I blew your head off and your children are all bawlin’

Planet Xiron is inhabited with Xipods like me But also with Balmacs who are giant bees The Xipods and Balmacs are at constant war So we wanted a new home and that’s what Earth was for

But you are worthless Alec Baldwin, you are worthless Alec Baldwin You fucked up my whole plan and now Xiron is smeared with Balmac pollen Your garbage needs some haulin’ and you’re worthless Alec Baldwin Now I must return home a failure — I’m afraid the pit of Kryrok is callin’♫♫♫

Jared Diamond addressed this issue of apparent white racial superiority being a fraud in his great book 'Guns, Germs, and Steel'. which basically attributes racial or ethnic 'superiority' to situational luck. It's like white people were born on third base, but think they hit a triple, etc.

Exactly. Who could have imagined it was real?

The scary part is that if it weren't for Wonkette, most people wouldn't know she was still alive.
