although race is a social construct; your genetic - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:17:32

My point was that they share far more than 0.01% DNA.(nm) - Badird MU - 1/16 14:18:07

Yeah, and mine was that you didn't add to your - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:19:24

Here, I am adding to Blue's argument. - Badird MU - 1/16 14:26:18

And? what do you think you're refuting here? Race is - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:27:10

...that race is a social construct. - Badird MU - 1/16 14:28:29

Sharing nearly identical DNA doesn't imply we aren't - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:35:47

lol wut? - Badird MU - 1/16 14:40:57

not at all. you aren't connecting any dots here between - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:48:09

No, what I have suggested is that there is no genetic - Badird MU - 1/16 14:55:28

lol, that's been established before hokie posted. you - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 15:31:14

lol, my comment on the lack of genetic determination of race - Badird MU - 1/16 15:50:55

I'm not following you. You post on a public board and - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:34:41

lol, ok sport. - Badird MU - 1/16 14:38:13

Read this very slowly.... - Badird MU - 1/16 14:04:25

What were his studies testing, genetics maybe. What would - hokie VT - 1/16 14:27:04

What data does Watson have published suggesting - Badird MU - 1/16 14:33:54

what defines race to use as the basis for such comparison - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:27:59

I'm not going to go there 90. There is a widely accepted - hokie VT - 1/16 14:45:14

is that a reason to take away awards earned, titles gained - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:09:13

No, its to obliterate hokie's argument claiming there is - Badird MU - 1/16 14:11:22

Here are the first two statement of his post below. Want - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:14:30

"ignores science" - Badird MU - 1/16 14:15:33

When it comest to politics..science is irelevant - meatiger MU - 1/16 14:20:48

Now read the first statement and put them together, as - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:18:56

Hokie's question on race was based on flawed information. - Badird MU - 1/16 14:23:37

his question at the top of his post isn't about race. You - 90Tiger MU - 1/16 14:26:29

I dont see a question mark anywhere but the end. Do you? - Badird MU - 1/16 14:27:49

The only people "ignoring science" are Watson, when he claim - Badird MU - 1/16 14:30:04
