[QUOTE]Originally posted by *Tinker*: [QB] Actually: Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism Racism is suggesting superiority of one group over another, based on their skin colour or ethnic origin. That is exactly what that comment does. I dont really understand your post tbh because political reasons are beside the point. The issue is believing that you are better than someone else purely because your skin has less melanin in it. Are you judging intelligence from an ethnocentric point of view in an industrialised society? A society where historically Black people have not had the same opportunities as white people? Would you go to Africa to some of the most remote tribes and be able to track animals and survive in the way that they do? No. Does that fit your 'notion of intelligence', I doubt it because as I said, racists have a very ethnocentric perspective. despite not having the same opportunities as 'white' people in the Western world, and despite facing racists throughout their life, many black people have been able to cut through all of that, intelligent black people, such as; Archibald Alexander Protestant clergyman and educator, born near Lexington, Virginia, USA. The son of a merchant farmer, he underwent a religious conversion in 1789, began to evangelize, and proved to be a fluent and persuasive preacher. Benjamin Banneker Astronomer and mathematician. Born Benjamin Bannakay on November 9, 1731 near Baltimore, Maryland. Mary McLeod Bethune Educator and civil and women's rights activist. Born July 10, 1875 in Mayesville, South Carolina. Charlotte Hawkins Brown Educator. Born Lottie Hawkins in 1883, in Henderson, North Carolina. Clara Brown Philanthropist, pioneer. Born a slave in 1800 in Virginia. Brown and her mother were bought by tobacco farmer Ambrose Smith. George Washington Carver American agricultural chemist, agronomist, and experimenter whose development of new products derived from peanuts (groundnuts), sweet potatoes, and soybeans helped revolutionize the agricultural economy of the South. David Nelson Crosthwait Engineer, inventor, writer. Born on May 27, 1898, in Nashville, Tennessee. Charles Drew American physician and surgeon who was an authority on the preservation of human blood for transfusion. Joycelyn Elders Pediatric endocrinologist, U.S. surgeon general. Born Minnie Lee Jones on August 13, 1933 in Schaal, Arkansas. Henry Louis Gates Educator, author, editor. Born on September 16, 1950, in Keyser, West Virginia. Patrick Healy Catholic priest and educator. Born on February 27, 1834, in Jones County, Georgia. Matthew Henson American black explorer who accompanied Robert E. Peary on most of his expeditions, including that to the North Pole in 1909. Mae C. Jemison Astronaut, physician. Born October 17, 1956, in Decatur, Alabama, the youngest child of Charlie Jemison, a roofer and carpenter, and Dorothy (Green) Jemison, an elementary school teacher. Dr. Percy Lavon Julian Chemist, inventor. Born Percy Lavon Julian on April 11, 1899 in Montgomery, Alabama. Ernest Everett Just Cell biologist, born in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Lucy Craft Laney Educator. Born on April 13, 1854, in Macon, Georgia. John Mercer Langston Black leader, educator, and diplomat, who is believed to have been the first black ever elected to public office in the United States. Madame CJ Walker Entrepreneur and philanthropist. Born Sarah Breedlove on December 23, 1867, in Delta, Louisiana. Booker T. Washington Writer, black leader, educator.

Carter G. Woodson Historian, educator, author, and publisher. Born in 1875 in New Canton, Virginia. Now are you telling me that because I have white skin I could do what they have done? I'm telling you that I couldn't and I dont think that you could either. That is just a list of scientists, if you would like to see the list of legal and political figures, artists, athletes, entertainers etc etc...click on this link http://www.biography.com/blackhistory/200-notables/scientists.jsp [/QB][/QUOTE]
