Is the world completely white!? New theory.

[Sondrigal]

I am of the strong conviction that everybody in the world is white. This is by no means racist, and if you are offended, then your cerebal cortex is not completely developed. I believe that everyone is white with different levels of freckles. These freckles, in my theory, vary differently by color and amount. I myself have a couple of freckles that are as black as my African American friend. This makes me think the people who are considered black are actually white with a large number of freckles. This also goes to explain why African Americans have white palms. It is well known that no one has freckles on their palms. This is a break through theory that could end racism!

It's also a well-known fact that those "freckles" are indicative of some Aftican heritage in one's background. I've got tons; No idea where they came from or who in my family hailed from Africa, but I wear 'em proudly. I'm not going to lock this, if only for the hilarity that's about to ensue.

Ha.

Anyway, i'd be interested to hear some of your /real/ opinions Sondrigal. You seem like an okay wise guy :)

[a happy song]

Remember that freckly kid at school, you know the one with the obscene amount of the things clustered all over his/her face like some tropical disease? Remember how they were mocked for it as much as the ginger kid was ridiculed for being a carrot top?

All this theory will do if accepted, sadly, would be to replace the word 'Nigger' with 'Freckle Features'.

[sheganican]

interesting theory, but as atob said, discrimination is immortal.

[SlappyMcGee]

Making the world completely white by ridding them of Freckles ought to be the new Legacy Project.

There are well-established genetic / anatomical differences between races.
Ask a cop if he would ever put a black suspect in a choke hold.

Goddamnit, dude. How do you always manage to find ways to introduce something for me to disagree with in a thread? It's you and this SkyPanda kid...
First,
Discrimination is not unconditionally immoral (and neither is it immortal). In the case of discrimination based on race, then yeah, it's immoral and profoundly stupid, but that doesn't extend to other ways you might discriminate. For example, I will probably always prefer to send my child to a daycare run by adults rather than one run by teenagers. In this case, I am discriminating against the teenagers purely because of who they are, and I haven't even considered if they'd do as good of a job as the adults (because they might). And I don't think that's unreasonable. "Discriminate" is a very general word that has no positive or negative connotations; it simply means "to tell something apart" or "pick something out from the rest." One synonym would be "distinguish." I think it's unfortunate that it's used so frequently to refer to racism that people like you end up saying things like "discrimination is [immoral]." No, it isn't! Discrimination based on race is immoral, but the ability to distinguish things from other things has no inherent moral leaning.
Secondly,
Even if a theory (and in this case I use that term very loosely) offends your moral values, this is not at all a reason that the theory could be wrong. For that reason, bringing ethics into an investigation of truth is useless.
For example, say I meet an indigenous tribesman who conveniently speaks English, and our conversation wanders toward the reason all things on Earth are stuck to the ground. Let's also say that he and his people believe that Gaia, the Earth spirit, draws all righteous things to her, or they have some other belief that would make it immoral to be stuck to the Earth by a force other than Gaia. If I bring up the Theory of Gravitation and he dismisses it with, "that can't be right because it's immoral," I know that I'm talking to an unreasonable person.

I took this seriously until I reread your post and saw this ^

That's an insanely brilliant insult.

[Sondrigal]

Either I am a wise guy or completely insane. Take your pick.

Similarly, black people seem to dislike it when I tell them that I am black on the inside. Go figure.

You might be right the reverse of this theory could be true. We could all be black, and freckles are actually white. This might be better at ending racism because the people that actually racist might just kill themselves. THE WORLD WOULD LIVE IN HARMONY!

[aids]

I'm white. I have freckles, so am I also black?

Language change beats dictionary. Dictionary beats scissors. A pair of scissors beats language change, depending on how violently you're wielding them.

this SkyPanda kid...

Oh man, you'll lose hair over some of my latest theories.
Anyway, it's nice to know that somebody out there reads all the random stuff I post, but I don't recall us ever debating anything. Whatever, keep up the Good work.

Welll my mom always said that if you get breastfeed when your little, you turn or stay white, like her milk.

[blue_tetris]

Wooooooooooooooow. What's happened to your precious Debate forum? It's awesome now, and before it was all logical and Spocky and boring-as-fucks.

[SlappyMcGee]

35% of Dave's posts are still more than you've posted on the entire forums, Little Man. Are you sure you want to get into this?

[SlappyMcGee]

Hmm? What am I getting into, and how are my posts relevant? Dave said the debate forum was boring, but the majority of his posts are here. Something about those two facts didn't add up for me. I'm not trying to provoke any reaction or start an argument, I just thought there was a contradiction there.

And I'm musing humorously in "Is the world completely white!? New theory.". Chill.

[PALEMOON]

what if someone had a different color of freckles,for example red, or a lovely hue of orange?

[DW40]

Welll my mom always said that if you get breastfeed when your little, you turn or stay white, like her milk.

...wait, what? And you believed this?

[blue_tetris]

I think we can all agree that everyone is white. It's only some skin condition--melanin, freckles, or whatever--that makes their skin black. So, really, they're all white, only some of them are white people that have black skin because of some skin-related factor. But even if freckles make their skin black, they are actually just white people with black skin. This is a valid thing to believe.

Does this mean that white depictions of Jesus are super-accurate?

Incorrect. My friend has one smack dab in the middle of one of his palms. Well, I guess that throws your theory out the window, amIright?

[Sondrigal]

What planet did he come from?

[handofgod]

While we're busy rewriting the laws on color and pigmentation, im gonna go ahead and say im a shade of deep purple.

Hahahaaa oohoo heavens no, i was only joking then... we all know whiteness comes from an abundance of white blood cells in the skin. Its becuase white people have been exposed to so many more diseases than black people, so they have to make more white blood cells. fortunetly for white and black people, disease is less common because all the factories kill the bacterias with contamination...

the only problem is, the white blood cells are now fighting the contaminations. they are smaller than diseases, but there are so many of them!! im not sure whats going to happen :(


o, and idk if freckles help fight diseases and contaminations, ask your doctor.

I'm pretty sure everyone is red. If you cut them open, at least.
