Black people, what can't they do?

[Ezteq]

Ha well I know something here!!

Learned it in june when at uni with my friend from Trinidad, she was saying that black skin gets lighter if you are in cole weather, her friend thought Bionce had skin bleaching treatment but they all discussed it and said that if she was in new york or somewhere she'd get pale, then she (my friend) said how she gets much darker in the summer.

Also they can have red hair and freckles (which tbh look great).

Now then, while we are on about racial genetics, something I have been told by medical people is that red heads have a higher pain threshold than normal...maybe this is to deal with all the frigging persecution and random objects being thrown at us I don't know lol but there you go.

We are all people but people are not all the same and it is the differences that make us all so interesting, rather than shying away from topics like this on the immediate assumption that "ITS RACIST!!" why not get involved, be nice and show that we can all talk about our differences without being nasty about it, curiosity is human nature.

Shouldn't black people be better swimmers as well if they tried?

 

[leviathane]

you'd think, but don't think it's an appealing sport. Afterall it requires upper body strenght and legs, which most these "typical" sprinter has.

 

[kiliarien]

well something good came out of it, nice1 Fettman ! j/p

LOL agreed.

Go Fett

i don't even want to be liked

Don't worry, you aren't.

 

[Urgluf]

I've never seen a black man on a ski slope. NEVER and I go skiing two weeks a year.

Im not sure why people think the thread is bad.
Personally Ive learned something. What I dont know though, is why people with brown skin are called black people? Or why asians are likened to people with 'black' skin?

Youve got people who are actually black like this dude

And people who are brown and we call black

 

[leviathane]

Yeah, no.

This thread is just..no.

If this is the direction of the OT, i don't even want to be liked or part of it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

On topic- this thread could be rather interesting aslong as it stays on topic.

Isn't the reason they are good at sprinting cos they have whats meant to be fast twitching muscles?

Did not know if could post original.. So I used over 9000 hours in paint and this was the outcome:

Thats what i thought, thats why I think they should be best at pretty much all short distance sports.

Then we have the Kenyans who can run forever! They shouldn't really have fast twitching muscles?

 

[leviathane]

Nah they have some other sort of muscle type which I can't remember.

Actually I have always wondered at the demography of FH, I mean do we have any black or asian freddies that can give us some information?

The only thing I can think of that I think black people get/can do that white people can't is have sickle cell aneamia; are there any illnesses that only white people or asians get too? it is interesting how bugs and stuff discriminate against who to infect.

Asians cant drink milk i think.

 

[Lethul]

Asians cant drink milk i think.

Isn't that just a "get used to thing" ? I know in Scandinavia we drink lots of milk our entire lifes. But in a lot of different countries you get lactose-intolerant when you grow up because you stop drinking milk.

 

[CorNokZ]

My fingers are twitching and shit would be so fucking funny, but we have this little thing called the CoC that prevents me from fun...

But on topic - I think all races have some advantages and disadvantages, if you can call it that?

- Blacks having a natural strong physic and the ability to grow a fucking awesome 'fro!
- Asians to be natural superior breeders and the ability to be super smart

etc.

Well my soul is.

That is indeed correct =)

And I don't think Asians are cute In fact, their appearance don't appeal to me at all. But hey, this thread isn't about who I think looks best, is it?

 

[Ch3tan]

Asians cant drink milk i think.

Not quite, you'll find that people from the indian sub-continent have a higher chance of being lactose intolerant.

 

[old.Tohtori]

There´s nothing wrong with this thread as long as it stays in the pseudo-scientific boundaries. I find then question whether or not black people can tan or why some asian people can´t drink milk quite interesting. But the most interesting thing about this thread is the knee-jerk reaction of people when they see a thread about "black people".

Took about 5-6 posts for KFC to pop up etc.

It has nothing to do with being black or not, it could be as well "White people, what can't they do".

How about a thread; "Human races, what can't they do?"

It can stay scientific, but for the love of gods delete the KFC remarks etc. Strict moderation needed.

 

[Ezteq]

...whats kfc?


aside from being a chicken fast food outlet but I am assuming you don't mean that.

 

[Ch3tan]

Yes they do, it's a racial stereotype that all black people like fried chicken.

 

[Ezteq]

oooh...but I like fried chicken and

Umm....

what about when we say about scottish people they are all eating haggis (no, not him) and porridge? or french people all eating frogs legs and snails...even australians chucking another shrimp on the barby?

I don't recall anyone ever pointing out that those are racial stereotypes. maybe it is a characteristic of white people that we are all actually racist and it is OK if that is at white races but a big old no no when at races who have different skin colours?

Just an observation here but I never see anyone who complained about KFC comments complaining about the above is all. And, it seems to me that certain people are determined to see racism no matter what is said in what context..which then makes people afraid of making genuine non-racially offensive observations (i.e. asians have a higher probability of being lactose intollerant 'OH NOES RACIIIIST!!!').

People should not be put off (or scared off) from asking genuine, innocent questions about other people, for example I would like to know why muslims and jews don't eat pork but I am a bit nervious of asking this question...not because I think a muslim or a jew would be cross with me (actually I think they would be helpful and answer the question) but because of some white PC brigade cruisader screaming at me and saying how racially ignorant I am and accusing me of making them feel uncomfortable etc etc.

Stop getting on the band wagon and being morally outraged when nothing morally outrageous has actually happened, if people do not like this thread and want it closed then 1) report it to a mod and let them decide and 2) maybe um...I dunno, don't read it?

Personally I see nothing wrong with it and think that those who do are frightened for what might be said not what has actually been said, lets just see if we can sustain a line of discussion without anyone saying something stupid and see how far we get rather than undertake a pre-emptive strike on the offchance eh?

 

[old.Tohtori]

EQ;

Nothing morally outraging, just if someone who does get morally knickered up reads these, they will also think that it's ok to be racist here.

That then leads to people thinking we're all racist.

That's why it's good to keep the politically flammable material out.

Like i said; scientific equal questions about racial limitations is fine, just asking about black people and then coming up with KFC remarks is not.

Also, not getting annoyed doesn't give you the right to throw racial remarks, or not knowing about them. "I don't get annoyed by black people shouting cracker at me, so i can call them what i want". Doesn't work like that.

Oh and FYI; white people(in general lost the whole racism card with the whole slavery thing, sorry

 

[Ch3tan]

I never said it was racist, I said it was a racial stereotype. The same as the ones you mentioned are racial stereotypes.

Nor did I say anything about the thread.

Also Toht, I think you miss the point, black people really do love kfc, and morleys etc. But mainly kfc. Fried chicken, Jerk chicken etc. I'll take a picture of my local kfc for you sometime. I think the ration is usually 8 black customers to 1 one white and 1 asian.

Well, a few of my best friends are muslims and we have had heated debates about this!

Apparently they are the dirtiest animal, therefor they don't eat it. As I said we have been talking a lot about it and this is pretty much their only answer. One typical question that comes up tho is that if they are alone on an island and have to eat pork to survive they can do it. It's just if they have a choice apparently!

More historically it could be that before we had good preserving methods pig meat went bad really fast in the hot middle east countries. My guess!

PS. They also don't eat predators (except fish, don't ask me why).

If humorous answers combined with serious answer don't suit you go read a fucking book and get out of this thread.

Erm, did you guys not do RE at school to get a basic understanding of other religions and their core beliefs?

Pigs are considered dirty, the same way cows are considered holy for Hindu's. They don't eat them because their religion tells them it is wrong to, nothing more to it.

I'm not a racist. I hate all you fucks equally
