Why did Einstein call racism "a disease of white people"?

Obama is participating in a social construct. The box he checks does not negate the fact that Barack Obama is half black and half white.

 

I'm in the middle.

 

so, half of you is racist and the other half not?

If you are an arab, then you are by definition a Caucasian.

 

I'm not referring to genetics.

 

You are when you invoke "white people" and racist.

But to what were you referring to then ?

 

People of European descent, you know, the blue-eyed devil.

 

Why is it racist, White run nations are the destination choice for the rest of the world?

Seems White run nations have more pros than any other.

 

Why did Einstein tell his wife she'd just have to accept him having affairs and would just have to wait until he won the Nobel Prize some day for him to give her any money?

Albert Einstein Imposes on His First Wife a Cruel List of Marital Demands:

CONDITIONS

A. You will make sure:

1. that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order;
2. that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room;
3. that my bedroom and study are kept neat, and especially that my desk is left for my use only.

B. You will renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons. Specifically, You will forego:

1. my sitting at home with you;
2. my going out or travelling with you.

C. You will obey the following points in your relations with me:

1. you will not expect any intimacy from me, nor will you reproach me in any way;
2. you will stop talking to me if I request it;
3. you will leave my bedroom or study immediately without protest if I request it.

Yeah, he's the model for equality. LOL!

 

I'm not referring to economic and intellectual achievements (it's only nowadays that the West is on top in these areas).

The pros and cons refers to certain traits found among different races and ethnicities, and it just so happens that the white man has a superiority complex

 

Maybe whites are simply superior? Even without advances in technology, white society us much better than the garbage dumps in the middle East. Culturally, I think only the Japanese or some other Asiatic people could compete with pure white run societies.

 

The problem with your racist theory is that if it were true majority White societies would be fairly even in their cultural advancement. There's a big difference economically between Moldova and The United Kingdom. Western European countries are generally wealthier than Eastern European countries. I believe there are historical reasons for this that have nothing to do with genetics. The point is that culture and race are not always interconnected. You can make sweeping generalizations like majority White countries are wealthier than majority Black countries or Middle Eastern countries but there is no consistent pattern of a country's wealth being determined by racial makeup.

What Goomba says is true. White Supremacists believe they are better than everyone else because of their culture, something they were born in to and most of them made no contributions to. Western cultural supremacy has only been observed for a couple of hundred years. Different regions of the world have been dominant at different times in history including Middle Eastern and African societies that you look down upon. And for most of human existence everything was virtually even so the racist narrative of racial supremacy is nothing but a myth.

 

That wasn't Columbus that was Cortes, and that wasn't even in North America - try again....

If it matters Columbus never set foot on North America ...

If it even matters North American Indians practiced slavery long before the Spanish ever crossed the pond... Yea, they would go to war with other tribes and nations and abduct whoever they could when they won the battle...

Also, slavery is common in Africa today...

The notion that only "white people" practiced slavery is absolutely nothing more than propaganda...

As far as Einstein - I could care less what his social philosophy was, he was a theoretical physicist.... Do you go to a foot doctor for heart surgery? no so who cares what Einstein's political positions were?

 

Yea it's called communism which is basically slavery..

They still haven't recovered from communism...

 

No, whites are not inherently superior. A common mistake that the white man makes is concluding that his race is superior because of the great successes his race has produced.

He overlooks however the fact that the Western ideas that resulted in the economic and intellectual power that we see today have a major weakness- they are tied to a certain genetic race: the white man.

This is why the West can't survive unless people from other areas "assimilate" (or act like white people). And acting like someone you're not never works.

People are superior, ideas aren't, and this is why Islam turned out to be superior to the West.

 

No you're just a white guy that is a masochist.... You act like slavery is alive and well in the US and all white people are racists if they don't bow down to non-whites...

I'm sure you believe disagreeing with someone that is black is really just racism?

I was born in 1980 and have absolutely NOTHING to do with the past and I treat EVERYONE equally until they give me a reason not to...

Guys like you think guys like me have some sort of obligation to minorities - I have ZERO obligation to anyone but my family and myself..... The 35-year-old black guy had just as much of a chance as I did.... What you don't think white people face racism too? they do - it mostly it comes from their own race from the "white guilt" crowed...

Perhaps you should look past race and just see people?

 

And do you see how your referencing an environmental argument for their condition supports my argument? If Eastern European nations are poorer than Western European nations because of communism why can't Blacks be poorer and have lower IQs than Whites because of racist discrimination?

 

You still legalize slavery, not a lot has changed apart from the fact that many whites oppose racist ideology now. Jump on board and join the winners.

 

Well IQ's have absolutely nothing to do with discrimination....

 

Who is "you" and what the (*)(*)(*)(*) are you talking about?

I'm not a racist, people shouldn't be racists but disagreeing with a black guy is NOT racism, scolding their issues they face in their community and issues they just blame on racism isn't racist...

Look I'm not out there pulling dive bys in their communities, I'm not littering all over the place, I'm not out there gangbanging or selling drugs, white people aren't segregating them...

The problem is people like you keep telling blacks they're oppressed, so they believe they are, so they believe anything that doesn't go their way in their life is really just racism - as if white people have everything go right for them....

 

Sure they do. Environment has a profound effect on the nurturing of intelligence. Blacks are disproportionately poor because of racist discrimination therefore it is perfectly reasonable that their intelligence isn't being properly nurtured affecting their IQ.

 

No they don't..... People are born with an IQ and perhaps nurture can raise it a tad but not dramatically...

Do I believe in the Bell Curve? yeah, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of smart black folks out there that just made poor choices.... Hell look at their gangs and their drug business, you have to be pretty smart to do that, some of these bangers have the intelligence to be anything they want - they just chose the fast life - the "cool" life instead of the boring 9 to 5 peaceful honest life that pays less..... That's not racism that is a culture problem...

 

People are born with a genetic potential for intelligence but the quality of their environment determines whether or not they realize their potential. Environmental differences can severely stunt IQ. You need only look at the example of identical twins reared apart in dramatically different environments to understand the obvious truth of this statement which I explain in this post. Group differences in IQ are caused by differences in the learning environment. This is a fact. The Bell Curve is not a factual book. It's racist pseudoscience. You can see my lines of evidence refuting its core claims in this post. There are also better books you can read on the subject such as Intelligence and How to Get It: Why Schools and Cultures Count by Richard Nisbett and The Myth of Race: The Troubling Persistence of an Unscientific Idea by Robert Wald Sussman.

Now as far as culture is concerned many of the ongoing problems in the Black community are caused by bad cultural trends. However it would be intellectually dishonest to deny that these cultural traits themselves were not rooted in White racism. Black American culture was molded by the White society that dominated and controlled virtually all aspects of Black life. White racism has had a serious negative psychological impact on the Black community from self-image issues to life choices. Ask yourself these questions. Who pushes the drugs in to the inner cities for drug dealers to sell? Where do those drugs come from and how do they get in to America? Who owns the gun stores that gangbangers get their guns from? Who manufactures these guns? Who made the laws that give gun owners the rights to have such easy access to guns? Yes, many people in to the gangster lifestyle are making poor choices and they should be held accountable for those choices but don't act as if racism has nothing to do with the environment they grew up in and the culture they live by.

I suggest you watch some of these videos on the subject:

You still practice slavery against blacks, its in your consitution. 13th, read it.

 

You have absolutely ZERO concept of what and IQ actually is..... Using your logic if you're loved enough by mommy you can be Einstein, but if you're thrown in the ghetto you're retarded...

Do you even know what an IQ even is?

All an IQ does is determine a persons ability to learn or grasp concepts, furthermore it doesn't mean that a person with an IQ of 100 cant grasp the same concepts or learn the same things as a person with an IQ of 140, it just means the person with an IQ of 140 will get it quicker than the person with an IQ of 100...

The only time an IQ even really matters is when you're testing someone to see if they're retarded or not.... If your IQ is 100+ you're fine... Mine is 140, but I don't care, it's not like there aren't people out there with an IQ of a 100 that have more knowledge than I do - in theory I'm just a quicker learner NOT smarter....

Don't confuse smart with being intelligent, there are many intelligent people that are very dumb..... What good is a bucket if you put nothing in it?

 

Read it?



You do know I keep one in my pocket at all times and I'm a libertarian?

I would love to hear your theory here tho...
