Don't take my word for it search 'neanderthal dna'

That doesn't really mean anything.


Asians and Europeans were exposed to other human sub groups, where Africans were not. The debate is whether the Neanderthal DNA is the result of a common ancestor, or inter-breeding of Neanderthals with humans.


Some blacks do have it, though, because they have an ancestor from north of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Hispanic simply means given a Spanish surname, the Catholic religion, and the Spanish language. Nothing more, nothing less. It means to be Hispanicized.

No need to make a big deal about it. They don't give a damn about Spain.

Anglos should just worry about their own identification. Nevermind what the Latinos are doing.

You've never experienced oppression. That's why it is so amusing to you. Self-hatred is real and prevalent, and you don't understand it because you have no reason to.



There are white women with black hair. But getting back on-topic, there's a difference between experimenting with your appearance and openly admitting that you're doing so because you don't like who you are or how you look based on who you are.
Really? Are you claiming that Hispanics are being discriminated against in the U.S.? You've got to be kidding if that is your claim. If anything they are being coddled and pandered to instead. Hell, our politicians are falling all over themselves to get their votes by selling out our country to their illegal counterparts. All kinds of accomodations are being made to them in Spanish also and English speaking Americans are being denied jobs because they don't speak Spanish. Geez, I'd like to be discriminated against in that manner.

Wouldn't we all. I always thought I'd have made a fine minority.

why would we even want it? who cares if we don't have it? it's not some trophy to not be of the original man. however, I realize what you are saying is right as many people of black African descent in the Americas these days can trace their DNA to a white male ancestor. that's not progress, that's defeat.

Well, there are two ways to look at this.

If you are referring to the fact that female slaves were often raped by their owners, then that is obviously a very bad thing.

On the other hand, you seem to be suggesting that in the absence of slavery, only racial purity would = "progress".

Are you really opposing interracial marriages?

I don't care what others do, but I am against interracial marriage for my family (my children), not because of the genetics, but because of the social issues and inequality we still face. neither is progress. just because I say intermixing with non blacks isn't progress doesn't mean that not mixing is progress. I'm addressing the idea that mixing, whether with non blacks or thousands of years ago with Neanderthals is progress, which some believe.
