The properties "strong, tall, smart, and poor" cannot be defined precisely in a non-arbitrary way because, just like race, they exist on a spectrum.
Oh boy, I'd love to see this spectrum. Perhaps some of the stormfronters here can post this spectrum for us. Where are albinos, blonde hair blue eyes, asians, east asians, south asians, caucasians, and semites? What about latinos?
The theory would, presumably, be that there is some (yet undiscovered) gene(s) which people with skin color X are more likely to have than people with skin color Y. It's not that there's any causal connection between skin color and behavior themselves.
People on planet A and B might, over the millennia, develop a variety of genetic differences due to different selection pressures in their respective habitats (both natural and social). Some of these might be visible - height, skin color, etc. Others might be invisible - resistance to some disease, intelligence, tendency for violence, etc
Oh, genes! Yeah! That makes it sound scientific!
Tendency for violence? Lets see, what "race" has killed more people in the world than any other "race"? On this spectrum, black people would be at the "non violent" end, and white people would take the cake for the most violent, with asians not far behind. Was that the spectrum you were thinking of?
Ohh, I get it, WORLD WARS and MASSIVE EUROPEAN WARS, as well as worldwide COLONIAL WARS, MASSACRES and SUBJUGATIONS don't count on this spectrum, right? This "spectrum" only applies to THUGS and LOOTERS!* Amirite or Amirite!?
Yes, the people of Haiti would have been better off under European colonial rule (as would virtually all of the peoples formerly ruled by the European colonial powers). This is not debatable.
Dumbass.
There are millions of Haitian slaves who did not die in the sugarcane fields by being worked to death after the successful slave revolt, who would be happy to debate your idiotic position.
See, your blind spot is, you don't consider Haitian slaves to be Haitians.
You're not worried about this professors blog, but you sure are worried about the posts in this thread.
My house, bitch. I didn't go looking for it, it came here.
