I'm no fuckwit.
You either beleive in natural selection and it's obvious implications or you do not. If you don't like it, go complain to God for not creating Man equal.
There is a difference between natural selection and prejudice.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

It is clear that Africa had a historic advantage over other parts of the world in view that all humans originated there - being there first. So where is the technological achievement, a few pieces of wood in the Congo indicate they could build so what happened that they lost their edge? and why do so many native Africans want to bleach themselves pale? I'm no racialist but I am culturalist...and only one culture builds new interesting stuff...a rational realistic one. When you are not grounded you are lost.

Aye, and usefully exposed to scrutiny, criticism and dismissal.

You forgot the scrutiny and criticism and went straight to dismissal even though you lack any scientific or circumstantial evidence to the contrary.

There is ZERO evidence supporting racial equality, just a lot of wishful thinking.

Read Guns, germs and steel
That book is full of false assumptions and misinformation. But even if it was right it does not explain their current low ability for developing and maintaining civilization. It still assumes the differences are cultural and not genetic.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

If we could just do "X" then blacks would become just as smart and civilized as Europeans.
Of course no one knows what that "X" could be, but it will require lots and lots of money from whitey.

Don't lump me in with your racism dude. The white pointy hat is stylish and all, just not my thing.

45 minutes is just too damn long for a youtube clip.
