I don't think that I'm racist in the hateful "everybody not of my race should die" mentality. I do think there are natural differences among races but that every individual can choose to be righteous or not.
Rubystars, I haves seen some of your previous posts on this subject and you do feel there is a difference..forgot what type.
I will claim that the only differences between races is physiological. Some genes, we found out recently, are more susceptible to HIV, but those same genes are more resistent in causing one to get AIDS quickly. Some genes allow for one when they work out to develop bigger muscles, but if they eat awful food and not exercise, they get fatter faster. Some genes might cause one to think slower, but persevere in the right environment while in opposite circumstances, be dumb as a doornail.
My point is, the difference between races on a genetic point of view can be vast. But coupled with environment can enhance certain skills better than another race with different genes.
So on one point, genes can give a blueprint to make one "superior" or "inferior" in a certain skill or mentality depending on the environment they come from more easily than another person wtih a different gene in the same environment.
Another example...I believe there might be a gene for being a good musician. (if I'm wrong, I'm sorry). Someone with the musician gene will learn music better much faster than someone without the gene under the same teacher. However, if the person without the gene keeps practicing, he might end up as good if not better than the genetic musician who decides he doesn't need to practice. Hence, our genes don't create our free will....We do. Some of us might be slower to learn math than others...the slower ones need to practice more. And people who might be weaklings who don't develop muscles as well as others who have a gene that make them more muscular more easily, need to work out more often as well.
Race, perhaps, can be put in a similar generalization. Blacks might have genes that make them more susceptible to be a certain way without much work, while caucasions have genes for something else. However, that doesn't govern their free will. Genes might make one more suceptible for something, but under the proper environment and support, both can become righteous or close to it.
in a nut shell, Genes do not govern free will...Environment influences free will.
