[QUOTE]Originally posted by anguishofbeing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Morpheus: Graves' book. I've been focused on theories of racial differences in intelligence lately but when I read that comment I quoted here I felt the need to investigate. It's one thing when people on the internet make interpretations of scientific literature that may be false and another when scholars do it. [/qb][/QUOTE]The premise of Graves 2001 book The Emperor's New Clothes: Biological Theories of Race is to debunk the concept that race is significant, that any racial differentiations in biology are too infinitesimal to entertain serious considerations. and that there is more genetic variation "within" racial groups than there are "between" them. Therefore if he applies the term "multi-racial" to ancient Egypt is in the context that it doesn't matter anyway. He is using the term in the historical context of what Frederick Douglass wrote but it is not a concept central to the book. The overall concept of the book is that questions about if Egypt was black, white or multiracial are irrelevant issues because the concept of race is itself irrelevant and constructed by racists. [/QB][/QUOTE]If he thinks questions of a civilization being "multiracial" are irrelevant then [b]you[/b] don't seem to agree given your cautious application of that term when it comes to ancient Greece. Fuking hypocrite. :eek: Note: "sub-Saharan" is another construct. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
