Why is the white race so different?
by Crazyguy inwhat i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

Anthropology abandoned the whole concept of race more than 70 years ago - TD
It is an affront to common sense to deny the obvious differences that are shared by groups of people whose ancestors share a particular history. It would be absolutely incredible if observable differences did not happen.
Racial differences are real, the can even be observed by forensic anthropologists from skeletons alone. . All racial differences are on a spectrum or more accurately a bell-curve. All such curves overlap. The interesting bits are at the ends. If you want to train the next 100m Olympic record holder don't waste your time coaching ginger kids in Glasgow.
In the UK the police use six "IC" radio codes to denote the ethnicity of persons they are looking for. IC1 is White - North European, IC3 is Afro-Caribbean, IC4 is Asian etc. These codes are used because they are meaningful and useful in most cases. When a policeman hears that a suspect is IC3 they can quickly eliminate a large percentage of people they observe.
All attempts to define race are of course imperfect and subject to exceptions.

Rutherford said a lot of crazy things.
There was an example of him pacing out how many yards it was from the room where he wrote some of his ravings to the place where was printed and somehow that fulfilled a prophecy in Daniel.
I read a lot of his stuff when I was in the process of leaving.I recommend it.

discussing the issues and losing focus of helping the hurt can become polar opposites at the same time.
I'm sure that is possible. Personally I try to keep a balance.
at what price or cost do we value over always being right to save face - over allowing free expression of other's views ?
I think everybody is free to believe and say whatever they want. I would fight to defend those rights.
Everybody has a right to their views if they aren't harming anybody.
We are all entitled to our own opinions but facts are a different matter. I accord people the respect of assuming they care about what is true. If we make assertions about reality it is only reasonable somebody is going to challenge what we say.
When somebody asserts that black people are under a curse that ought to be challenged. Muslims have used exactly that myth to oppress black people for centuries. It does harm others.
If I asserted that black people are under a curse the forum would erupt in a frenzy of justifiable outrage. If somebody says it is their religious belief that black people are under a curse and I object then again we get outrage.

The biggest problem with trying to have a rational conversation about race is faux outrage and virtue signalling.
The internet rewards outrage.

Insults Flipper?
Discussing issues and helping the hurt are not mutually exclusive.

You believe in creationism and that black people are cursed. And you're happy with that.
Okay.

I've come to believe that there were exactly 3,760 years between each creative period. Who knows what changes could have taken place during those times? - Snowbird.
That's like trying to measure how far a glacier has moved in 5 minutes. But if you want to discuss evolution perhaps this is not the correct thread.

I am a Black person. - Snowbird
So?
I am not ignorant - or racist.
Everything that follows in your post is based on ignorance of history and anthropology and is profoundly racist. I didn't say you were a racist. I said your beliefs regarding race are.
In particular Muslims use this ridiculous belief in the curse of Ham to justify racism. It is bizarre to see it perpetuated by a black person.

there were plenty of people around who fought against these ideas - Ruby
So what? I'm addressing Snowbird who is perpetuating this bullshit under the guise of faith.
If I said that black people were under a curse you would rightly condemn my words as prejudicial. If somebody says that this is their religious belief you make excuses for it. This is hypocritical.
