Why are Manx Radio censoring the conversation? I suppose they consider it sub judice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's keep it very simple for your benefit. Because the environments that the negro evolved in was so different from the environment that the Caucasian evolved in different abilities became success factors. It's Darwinism on the hoof.

When you consider some of the invective, bad language and sheer brainless hokum posted on the more popular social media sites (including on this subject) and then someone on one of those sites has the nerve to call out MF as full of inbreds. Astonishing. Edited June 5, 2020 by woolley 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Some of the dumbshits who've bought into this virtue cult should click on to the Hodge Twins (?) video on the Black Lives Matter thread. It's only a couple of pages back. They put it better than I ever could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you read a book on evolution. We are all part of only one race. The human race. We can all interbreed with each other. Genetic variation in a species is essential. You are describing variation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does two affluent middle-aged men who happen to be black speaking out against a leftist movement somehow negate all the voices in that movement?

You can't take people that high seriously. Also it just annoys me that I'm not that high. I might give it another go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give them the satisfaction, and I can't think of a more pointless endeavour. My overriding emotion would be: "Your loss!" I've employed people of varying ethnicity. In ALL cases it's based only on judgment concerning who will be best fit for the job. That isn't always necessarily the best qualified or the most intelligent. Many factors are taken into account, but not their ethnicity. I'm convinced that this is the case with the overwhelming majority of employers. Aside from any racial considerations, surely it is only self-interest to employ the right person for every position. As for the landlord and the lesbians, he must have been a principled bigot who couldn't bring himself to lie. Or an idiot. This was part of the point I was making. Not everyone rejected for a job, at any stage of the process, is going to follow it up. That means there are potentially a significant number of applications which are not advanced based on some form of prejudice. It could be race but could equally be age, sex or even that you did not attend the "right" college or university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to feel a bit guilty buying the cheaper Yeo Valley Organic milk, but not anymore. And I'll take a look at the other cheeses on offer (which are just excellent) If the Creamery had just withdrawn their sponsorship I would understand but they had to make some sort of airy statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
