[BITList] White

[Malcolm]

Hugh,

 

I agree with you. I cannot find out my pedigree passed my great grandfather
and it does not bother me a jot. I read the white email twice, I could not
see one statement that is not correct. So do we have any member who maybe
knows more than me. Will tell us which of the points in the email are bull
shit,

 

Malcolm.

Frank,

 

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

 

I'm not proud to be "white", or even pink (I don't take a tan).  I don't
know what colour of skin our African ancestors had before the migration of
some to Europe began.  Does anyone?  Anyway, what has race got to do with
it? The Neanderthals were a different race from homo erectus, though not so
far different that some may have successfully interbred with our lot. We're
all Jock Tamson's bairns whether we like it or not.  The Nazis didn't like
it, so they embraced a new definition of race (though they didn't invent
it), and look what that caused.

 

Hugh.
