Vigilantism on our borders is an intolerable reminder that Washington
must embrace real and humane reform of our immigration policy.

There's new ferocity in talk of firing activist judges.
By Ruth Marcus, Page A19
Railing against activist judges is nothing new in American politics.
The nation's judicial wars erupt infrequently but at times with painful
intensity, often brought on by the stress of a particularly divisive
case. Indeed, it's not surprising that the current outbreak of
judge-bashing is particularly virulent: With long-standing grievances
(abortion, school prayer) still simmering, the courts have been busying
themselves, as critics see it, with promoting same-sex marriage and
censoring the Ten Commandments. Meantime, a showdown over filibusters
is looming, and a Supreme Court nomination looks to be in the offing
after a lengthy stretch without a resignation. In that context, the
dispute over Terri Schiavo was the inevitable tipping point.

No matter how you try to bounce this ball, it's still flat. There is no
evidence that any population of modern humans is any smarter or dumber than
any other. Clearly different populations have different environmental and
cultural challenges, so different skillsets are required, but to claim that
any group is smarter than any other is just a new version of the utter
claptrap that Victorian-era racists tried to put forward to justify
colonization.

Careful. You're leaving yourself wide open.
In my experience, people can't both emotionally &
intellectually at the same time. Emotion trumps
intellect every time.
If you like, you may think that for most people it's only
true when emotions are unusually strong. But, fact
remains, all men have experienced "thinking with your
*****," and pretty much every human that has ever
lived has said things when they were upset that they
were never would have said otherwise.
We're also far more likely to take things negatively
if they come from someone we don't like. This is
something we may not always notice, but we do
notice when people that don't like us do it.
Well, people who are AFRAID of black people or
HATE black people are experiencing an emotional
response to black people. They could normally be
intelligent -- an IQ well above norm -- but they
don't approach black people with their intellect, they
approach them emotionally.
In some sense, yes, they are retarded. Their intellect
is being over-ridden. But the real difference between
you & them isn't that you're any brighter -- you're
not -- it's that they're more emotional.

Humans are social animals that developed an "us vs. them" social
dynamic.
When one is in a hunter gatherer band of a dozen or so, it is wise to
cooperate with the group one belongs to because it increases one's
chance of survival. Going against this group will lead to being
outcast from it, substantially decreasing the chances of survival (not
to mention the opportunities to reproduce).
However, as human population density began increasing, all of the
different hunter gatherer groups begin to compete more aggressively for
the limited supply of foraging grounds and game trails. Hence those
outside one's groups are easier to see as the enemy. Competing with
and eliminating these outside groups are beneficial to an individual's
survival since it benefits the survival of his group.
Because of this humans are inherently "us vs. them" in their mentality.
You've extrapolated that to mean "racist" which is inaccurate. It's
all about "identifiable out-groups" because that is how human social
dynamics works. Going by your interpretation that means a WASP who can
easily identify white-trash and jump to bad conclusions against them is
a racist.
A racist only exists because he thinks races of humans exist. In
reality it's only about in-groups and out-groups. Some people draw the
lines using physical appearance, some use religion, some use
nationality, some use wealth. To the vast majority of people it's some
combination of all of that.
Since physical appearance is the easiest and most obvious, it tends to
have a lot of influence. IMO that doesn't make them a racist, because
the evidence to convince me that human races exist is sorely lacking.
To me it just makes them human.

Race does not have to objectively exist for racism to exist. The word
"racism" describes both belief and behavior based on the conviction
that there are identifiable races. It is not the same as judgments
based on nationality or wealth or religious belief, all of which can
change. A Jew for example is a Jew to an anti-Semitic racist no
matter what the person's actual religion is or the culture or class
that he belongs to.
Being cautious in the presence of the stranger is quite natural.
Racism is something that has to be learned; it is not natural.

If you are white, and the mugger is white, then "mugger"
would be how you would consciously and subconsciously
label the assailant's out-group. It's instructive, but
not very helpful for immediate (and evolutionary) survival
needs. However, if the mugger belongs to some easily-
identifiable out-group already, such as a different racial
group, or even some group that dresses in extreme ways,
then a primary identification will be made using that
visible characteristic instead of the invisible "mugger"
characteristic.

Well, people who are AFRAID of black people or
HATE black people are experiencing an emotional
response to black people. They could normally be
intelligent -- an IQ well above norm -- but they
don't approach black people with their intellect, they
approach them emotionally.


A lot depends on whether they have been mugged by
a Negro or not.


Emotions depend on nothing.


For example, would the same white person fear
and/or hate all white people, if the mugger was
white?


Trolls live for getting other people to say stupid things
like this.

And yet, you don't answer the question.


And it seems to be a valid and instructive question at that.


It is very difficult to subconsciously demonize your in-group,
but not an out-group. The dynamics are very different for
exactly the effect in question. It was a red herring in this
discussion.

Not in the least, if the "out group" is, as claimed, muggers, and not
black people. And if the "out group" is actually black people, then
racism is openly admitted.


So which is it?


If you are white, and the mugger is white, then "mugger"
would be how you would consciously and subconsciously
label the assailant's out-group. It's instructive, but
not very helpful for immediate (and evolutionary) survival
needs. However, if the mugger belongs to some easily-
identifiable out-group already, such as a different racial
group,

Then, by definition, you are a racist. Duh.
