What Was Your Impression of the Debate 9-7-11

I am not exactly sure why. They have not even been totally presented yet.

BTW, does anyone else think Biden looks like his hemorrhoids are bothering him?

 

The Mrs. Boner looks pretty orange too. Maybe they have relatives in common like their parents.

You know, the fellow on the left kind of reminds me of you, Ted.

 

I don't think it is appropriate to say things like that about the Oranges unless you are Orange.

 

Can't say. Is that a look you know from personal experience?

 

Every time I have a colonoscopy

 

He was trying to reflect the light onto Boner and melt the tanning solution.

 

How far back would you like me to go? what I said is scientificly correct care to dispute that? if so please post your evidence to support your supposition

 

They may be imitation oranges though... the spray-on type...

 

Scientifically correct, perhaps, but not complete. Mankind's history goes back much further than Europe and Asia:

And would you care to show me were exactly I said that it did not?

 

You said "white" people could trace their heritage to Northern Europe. While factual, your statement doesn't take into account that "whites" (your word, not mine) can trace their actual beginnings all the way back to Africa.

 

Just curious, but what are Egyptians (and several other northern Africans)? They are certainly not Europeans. Are they not Africans? Somehow, I do not believe they are considered Negroid. And then you have the Australian Aborigine. I don't think they are tied to Africa.

 

Did anyone watch the debate last night? It was a very diverse crowd.

 

Lets see as far as I am aware Egypt is in North Africa well it was when I visited it last year or are you of the opinion that only those of a very dark complexion can come from Africa?
Do you know anything about tribal migration? and what do you know about the climate of Africa when man began to develope? you are assuming that it was as hot then as it is now, have you not heard about the Pleistocene era I wonder
Have you ever heard of Homo erectus which pre dates Homo Sapian
How about Homo Ergaster or Homo Habilis? you are I take it aware that specie's will evolve over time

 

Remember?

Outside of that, you sound like CoiunOKC. Are you now supporting his statement that have been disagreeing with?

 

I am saying as I initialy said
"You can not discriminate against a person by commenting on there skin tone in regards to there possible ethnic background, you discriminate by refusing to give them the same rights or respect as the rest of the population"
He decided to object to what I said and started on about were our ancestors originated from so I have pointed out that they might not have had Black skin simply because they came from what is now known as Africa

 

That is exactly what CoinOKC and I have been trying to tell you and if that is what you were trying to say in "A person with white skin will more than likely trace there ancestery[sic] back to Northern Europe while a person with Black skin will most likely trace therse[sic] back to Africa and a person with Yellow skin to Asia", you sure have a funny way of phrasing it.

BTW, I don't believe that anyone here has disagreed with the line in red above. It was just the rest of you comment.

 

I tried to watch it, but as soon as Romney started answering his first question a storm came through and the TV went blank. I take that as a sign he'll be elected President and rule over our doooooooom LOL

... no really, the debate started at 8 here, the storm hit at 8:01 lol

 

I would never disagree with your above statement (and if you'll re-read my posts you'll see that I haven't disagreed). Also, I never mentioned anything about Africans having black skin. I don't understand why you even brought that up. I've merely been discussing human origins and that it's wrong to discriminate based solely on the color of a person's skin.

By the way, "discriminate" means to distinguish or differentiate whereas "prejudice" means to judge beforehand without knowledge of facts.

I've never inferred that anyone on this forum is prejudiced, but I have stated that they've discriminated. To point out that a group of people contains no "minorities" simply by looking at them is, by definition, discrimination.

I would like you to please tell us how many "minorities" are in this photo. Personally, I have no idea what each person's ethnic/racial/ancestral heritage might be just by looking at them. I know that each person traces his/her heritage back to Africa, but beyond that I have no clue what ethnic/racial/ancestral heritage they claim. If you can tell that just by looking at someone, well, you have better eyes than I do, perhaps you're magic or else you have omniscient powers.

While you're at it, please define a "minority".
