Whites Now Minority in 1 in 10 Counties

Am I the only one who has noticed the fact that for some reason 99% of the Black academic community one day learned that white features are recessive and constantly throw that into an argument like it holds huge scientific validity?
Black Academic - "Well yes, but you must remember these are recessive traits we are talking about here."
Black Academic 2 - "Interesting point Mr. Blackman! I had never thought about that before. Very creative!"
There are other recessive traits besides light colored hair and eyes, like normal vision instead of farsightedness, a normal hairline instead of a widow's peak, a normal thumb instead of a clubbed thumb.
I guess one day we should also be worried that people with no dimples, no freckles and a normal hairline will set up a system of subconscious repression in order to facilitate the survival of their kind.

^Pretty obvious though, I'm not sure why a written speech about it was necessary. It was merely a response to scientific racism of the 20th century, actually, Welsing has some extremely wacky theories that I do not subscribe to. For instance, she argued that Black people have more neuromelanin contained in the brain and this melanin consists of some remarkable qualities, that includes converting of light and magnetic fields into other properties and back again. She also says that black people have higher levels of blood pressure because they catch negative energy vibrations from white people. The latter may be true in some aspects, but not proven scientifically.
Only because I see it so often.
And with all the theses written for absolutely pointless quibbling I dont see how a good 3 paragraphs was really some huge uneccessary thing, but w/e.
I think there is a strange race dynamic that exists between white people and black people that does not exist between any other two-race combination. Most white people are afraid of being racist in some way and thus feel uncomfortable around black people, and they fear 'setting black people off'.
In the same way this 'distance' and uncomfortable atmosphere causes black people to assume racism is afoot and see it even where it doesnt exist. Being with black girlfriends, I see this hyper sensibility to white people and their intentions or their attitudes. I constantly get "baby they are looking at us" or "those white people are trippin on us" when it really isnt the case. I think it is more pronounced in girls I would call more "ghetto" or whatever - the sort of suspicion or assumption that White people are constantly disapproving or acting discrimnatory.
And I guess that makes sense, since AAs with more pronounced "black" speech, demeanor, or any number of other characteristics are likely to experience more racism. In this way it is a self fulfilling prophecy to both sides.

A bit of hyperbole on my part; I was messing around more than anything.
I wonder why..
Admittable, but in an equal amount of cases the said racism is often downplayed. It isn't a polarized issue of black vs. white, it is a dual process which stagnates suspicion. Brother Malcolm once stated that people are naive to believe that being bitten with a smile is some how better than being bitten with a growl.
Maybe, maybe not, but how do you know what the other people are doing if you aren't as conscious about it as the sistas in question?
I don't believe such suspicion is truly unfounded though. May be a bit excessive, but a good security measure nonetheless as blacks are seemingly the most vulnerable.
^I was losing you for a second, but this is an honest observation. I actually agreed with you above on this, it is a two way street and both parties should own up and take responsibility. Some whites for their insensitivity and indifference, and some black people for their racialist disposition and imprisoned mind. I still contend however, that it should be easier for white people to understand blacks than viceversa.

^True.. However, most African-Americans criticize the Anglo population for the apparent indifference that I pointed out above, and the "get over it" mentality. The white community as a whole is indeed known for trivializing and simplifying the black disposition as if they never had and don't have a stake in it. The huge difference in my view is that this situation wasn't created (though it may have been drawn out) by black people, but by the select Europeans who decided that they were too lazy and/or morally deprived to build a nation from scratch and cooperatively, but felt a need to mass-murder, enslave, and mind-fuck people who wee initially minding their own business. Digging a gigantic, 100 ft hole, throwing someone in it, and expecting them to crawl their way back out in two seconds is irrational to say the least, especially when no rope was offered.
