Racism is Wrong (Sharing)

The Ridiculous Idea of Deporting People by DNA
NYTN | 31 Jan. 2025

I happen to have one quibble against what you said.

DNA policing has been tried and found wanting all through history, you said, no, all through ITS history it has been found wanting, but especially also on principle.

Fortunately, it has NOT been tried all through history.

In the Middle High German Parzifal or Parzival (it's pronounced f either way), Lancelot had another son, with a Moorish woman, the son of whom was Feirefiz ("fair fils" = fair son) ... who happens to be checkered in white and brown. Not very sophisticated about how DNA really works, but the point is, there was certainly no policing about it.

Equally, in Ancient Rome, Semitic and I think also "Subsaharan" populations were integrated (it was the former, not the latter who became an Emperor). No DNA policing there either. Racism is evil, but over history fortunately very rare. Just a shoutout to older centuries and their better morality! You are perhaps where I learned about Presley being Preslaar, and Disney is obviously d'Isigny ... no problems posed over foreign origins (OK, for d'Isigny, after Hastings, Anglo-Saxons weren't perhaps in a position to pose problems).

"You Can Not Be Racist Against White People, Because White People Are the Dominant Race In This Country"

Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: Trump Signed, God Bless Him · New blog on the kid: "You Can Not Be Racist Against White People, Because White People Are the Dominant Race In This Country" · I heard from Robert Ritchie, America Needs Fatima

Are they the dominant ethnicity (or race if you really insist) in every nook, cranny and corner of that country over the pond?

Are white people the dominant ethnicity in the Bronx? Are they the dominant ethnicity among the pupils of every school in the Bronx? In every class in every school in the Bronx? In every group of friends and pals in every class in every school in the Bronx?

I would say, if a group of black pupils, even if fewer than 50 % of the class, take advantage of a lonely moment to pick on a lonely white pupil, that could easily be an act of racism. Perhaps retaliatory racism. Perhaps a racism that makes a lot sense to them, perhaps one or two or three of them had great-grandparents victims of Walter Ashby Plecker. But the white pupil they are picking on is not Walter Ashby Plecker. Even if he descended in straight patrilinear genealogy from him, or for that matter from Lenin, Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot or Mao Tse Tung, picking on him for the sake of what Walter Plecker did is as racist as picking on a Chinese ethnic for the ill-deeds of Mao.

Now, it is true that opposition to illegal migrants is sometimes racist. It could also be classist. "The position of illegal migrant is a situation that takes a toll on someone's mental stability, having many of them ..." ... I'm not a huge fan of the idea of getting every illegal immigrant out of the US, but going for violent offenders makes sense. Going for peaceful people because theoretically they could become violent makes less sense.

The support or otherwise of Trump's policy with migrants should be based and I would say at each step, on its fairness or unfairness. Going for violent offenders makes sense. Letting some farmers hire illegally residing people as long as they are cheap and then calling for the ICE as soon as the workers would acquire rights of the syndical type or laying them off at that point and then calling the ICE, that makes a lot of less sense. I'm not saying those cases are 99 % of the illegal immigrants, but I'm not saying they aren't a good half of them either. We'll find out.

Borders have done some bad, but they have also done some good. When St. Joseph walked over the border to Judaea, which was at this point a protectorate, not yet a province, so it was a border, he probably did some successful tax evasion. When he walked over another border into Egypt, back into the direct Roman Empire, he evaded a massacre rather than just Roman tax collectors. That may explain why his Stepson, who is God, had some, shall we say, gentle touch when it came to tax collectors. The point is, once St. Joseph had taken the Holy Family across that border, Herod's soldiers couldn't follow. Btw, since he had previously resided perfectly legally in Galilee, which already was a Roman province, one cannot say he was an illegal immigrant. On the other hand, I highly doubt migrating legally took months of paperwork.

It is also obvious that there are situations where that paperwork cannot really be done from one's country of origin. St. Joseph didn't have time to send an application to Augustus' administration in Rome for a Green Card, on the Flight to Egypt. So, I'm thankful that wasn't a requirement.

Summing up: racism against white people exists, even in white countries, because the country as a whole is not the only unit where power dynamics play out. Border policies have seen hysteria from both sides of the question.

It could be a name-sake. It could even be an author of a paper. Such a thing turned out to be the case back on this occasion:

New blog on the kid: Documented by a Psychiatrist? · Correspondence of Hans Georg Lundahl: Will This Be Answered? (B)

But, what is it isn't? Then, it is addictology abused to control me, to keep me out of business as a writer. I certainly didn't write any paper on the topic. I know there are some evil actors around the area where I am who are interested in stamping me as a this- or that-addict.

Alcohol? Less than 4 cl. an ordinary day and many days none at all is not an addiction.

Other substances? I don't do them. If someone pretends to have "witnessed" me under the influence of opiates it would be:

• while I was drowsy getting to sleep or just waking from sleep and hoping to get back to sleep;
• during sessions of online hypnosis or offline self hypnosis
• earlier on, while praying the rosary.

Internet addiction? A thing is not an addiction in any medically significant sense just because it releases dopamin. Doing your work as a baker or as a painter will release domamin. Doing sports will release dopamin. Working as a writer on internet is ALSO not a medical condition. Those who want to stamp it as such are the exact same people who have prevented me from getting money as the writer that I am, prevented me from marketting my thing where I stay, so that I could inspire someone to start a publishing house.

If the Iranian régime simply kills people, kills women, who refuse to wear the hijab, this is not likely to spill over into the West very quickly. I have more reason for solidarity with people who convert to Christianity. But if they use psychiatry, well, that kind of thing is already abused. Over here.

Calling Creationists Racist, with No Evidence

Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy
BY ALLISON HOPPER, JULY 5, 2021
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/denial-of-evolution-is-a-form-of-white-supremacy/

The global scientific community overwhelmingly accepts that all living humans are of African descent. Most scientific articles about our African origins focus on genetics. The part of the story that is not widely shared is about the creation of human culture. We are all descended genetically, and also culturally, from dark-skinned ancestors.

It so happens, I don't know how dark that's supposed to be, but OK.

I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies.

Pretty certain she has an axe to grind.

At the heart of white evangelical creationism is the mythology of an unbroken white lineage that stretches back to a light-skinned Adam and Eve. In literal interpretations of the Christian Bible, white skin was created in God's image. Dark skin has a different, more problematic origin. As the biblical story goes, the curse or mark of Cain for killing his brother was a darkening of his descendants' skin. Historically, many congregations in the U.S. pointed to this story of Cain as evidence that Black skin was created as a punishment.

OK, the problem is just this is not true.

As the biblical story goes, the curse or mark of Cain for killing his brother was a darkening of his descendants' skin.

Here is the Biblical story, Genesis 4:

10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand. 12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth. 13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon. 14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me. 15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.

Now, if the mark, according to the Biblical story itself had been dark skin, we might expect this to be explained in the next verse, just after we first mentioned it, if it wasn't there. Let's go to the next verse:

16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.

Oh, no mention of dark skin ...

18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech: 19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella. 20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.

Still no mention of dark skin ...

21 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs. 22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema. 23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising. 24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.

STILL no mention of dark skin ... was Allison Hopper wrong? Just check one more verse of the story, shall we?

25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew. 26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.

Oh, another story begins, even!

I guess Allison Hopper was wrong, after all ... what is the Catholic exegesis of this? I mean about the mark? Here is bishop Challoner:

[15] "Set a mark": The more common opinion of the interpreters of holy writ supposes this mark to have been a trembling of the body; or a horror and consternation in his countenance.

STILL no mention of dark skin ??? By the way, the Haydock Bible has two comments on the verse, the above being the only one where the mark is mentioned.

What about the Protestant views? Here is Calvin, clearly agreeing with Challoner:

And the Lord set a mark. I have lately said, that nothing was granted to Cain for the sake of favoring him; but for the sake of opposing, in future, cruelty and unjust violence. And therefore, Moses now says, that a mark was set upon Cain, which should strike terror into all; because they might see, as in a mirrors the tremendous judgment of God against bloody men. As Scripture does not describe what kind of mark it was, commentators have conjectured, that his body became tremulous. It may suffice for us, that there was some visible token which should repress in the spectators the desire and the audacity to inflict injury.

Calvin, Genesis 4, verse 15
https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/cal/genesis-4.html

I have trouble finding a comprehensive link to Luther's commentary, there may be different versions. Here is a history of this interpretation, which says that the idea came, not with Catholicism, not with the Reformation, but with the Enlightenment (a dark period for black people!), quote and link:

Another interpretation has a disturbing, racist legacy: the idea that the mark of Cain is dark skin. Although nothing in the Bible suggests it is related to skin color, the motif that Cain was cursed with blackness—and that black people are cursed as well—was common from the 18th and into the 20th century. Together with the more common motif that Noah’s son Ham was cursed with black skin and his descendants condemned to slavery (based on Gen 9:20-25), this interpretation of Cain’s mark was deployed to justify the slave trade, and some religious denominations in America used it to support segregation and the exclusion of African Americans from church leadership.

Eva Mroczek, Bible Odyssey
https://theturkeytraveler.bibleodyssey.org/articles/mark-of-cain/

So, again, no, not the story, just an interpretation of the story, not a currently widespread or a traditionally widespread, just a formerly widespread (among Protestants of the US) interpretation.

Shocker, it seems Allison Hopper is wrong! What are her qualifications, again?

Allison Hopper is a filmmaker and designer with a master's degree in educational design from New York University. Early in her career, she worked on PBS documentaries. More recently, she's been creating content for young people on the topic of evolution. She has presented on evolution at the Big History Conference in Amsterdam and Chautauqua, among other places. Learn more about Allison and her projects at http://www.spiralzoom.com/. She recently completed a short animation titled Evolution and YOU!a>

Stories by Allison Hopper
https://www.scientificamerican.com/author/allison-hopper/

So, basically, her qualification is being an artist. Nevertheless, what she published in may give her views more credit than they deserve:

Scientific American covers the most important and exciting research, ideas and knowledge in science, health, technology, the environment and society. It is committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge, enhancing our understanding of the world, and advancing social justice.

Meaning, it will risk publishing lies by certain types of social justice warriors who have another axe to grind than against injustice ...

At the heart of white evangelical creationism is the mythology of an unbroken white lineage that stretches back to a light-skinned Adam and Eve. In literal interpretations of the Christian Bible, white skin was created in God's image. Dark skin has a different, more problematic origin. ... The fantasy of a continuous line of white descendants segregates white heritage from Black bodies.

Well, no. In Young Earth Creationism, all men descend from Adam and Eve, all have unbroken lines back to them. Nowhere did mankind start anew from someone not descended from them (even if some would say the Nephelim risked becoming that, if they partly descended from angels). And like both White and Black have unbroken lines, it is not a reason for segregation between them. By contrast, some who deny Adam and Eve are ancestral to Black, who did and do argue for Segregation, including the Klan, are Old Earth Creationists.

Now, I think a Professor of law may sometimes be less oversensitive to guilt by association over three degrees of separation than this type of artists.

And he obviously does not feel segregated by the Genesis story:

So, perhaps credit a black Professor over a white Artist, when it comes to deciding what's a racial slur against his people?

Did Maarten Labuschagne Have a Right to Challenge God Like That?

I once was both pro-ANC and pro-Desmond Tutu. The Lutheran Church where I had been baptised was asking us to collect money for the peaceful projects of ANC — like schools and so.

I was at a boarding school. Another pupil, whom I was in love with, was born in Zuid-Africa. I did not know that, I asked her for a coin for ANC's peaceful project, and she told me about ... well, what Maarten found out:

After high school, Maarten worked briefly for the railway before entering the South African army for compulsory military training. While there, his distrust and hatred of other races, particularly tribal Africans, grew considerably. Army training sessions often featured footage of widespread unrest in black townships during the 1970s and 80s. The films often portrayed graphic violence, including the infamous public ‘necklacing’ of suspected collaborators. This involved placing a tyre doused in gasoline around the victim’s neck and lighting it. His reaction, he said, was always,

“These perpetrators are sub-human! Just animals! Otherwise, how could they act like this?”

I did certainly not conclude that black Africans were subhuman, just that ANC was making them act in highly unchristian ways (like the kind of things that the Christian Beowulf poet left out: he made no remarks about "Hygelac" — "Hugleik" to us — Beowulf's uncle on his mother's side, actually dying as a robber trying to pillage and possibly rape Christians). I had collected my last Swedish Krona for ANC.

But to the point:

In September 1998, in utter desperation, Maarten cried out to God: “God, you have to change me!”, even challenging God’s right to send him to Hell if He failed to do this.

My cry was mingled with doubt over whether God was real or would respond. But it was utterly genuine, a recognition that I could not save myself. I didn’t then understand the assurances His Word gives for the repentant heart, but I certainly knew that Hell was real, and I didn’t want to go there.

Did he have the right to make this challenge? This is what I asked in the title. Actually yes.

You see, he had been baptised as a child. Baptism had done two things, since he posed no obstacle by clinging to heresy or personal sins when he was baptised:

• it had cleansed him from Adam's sin (though not cured all of the consequences, like mortality and being subject to illness and aging and mood swings);
• it had also given him the character of baptism.

Actually, it would have given him the character of baptism even if he had posed an obstacle to being then and there justified. What does this character mean?

It does not mean that your name being written in the book of life can never be blotted out from it. But it does mean, as long as you are alive, that you have a right to ask God for the graces needed to repent. You have a personal right to call Jesus your Saviour. A person who is already justified, and who then sins mortally, certainly has no right in and of his state of mortal sin, to get justified again. However, he does have a standing through his baptismal character to appeal to God to help him out of sin.

This is obviously so whether the sin involved gang violence like that of Maarten's former life, or gang violation 1 Tim 4:11 by stamping someone else as a sinner and mixing oneselves in his affairs when clearly not asked to and when repeatedly told it annoys him. Perhaps some guys over here in Paris should take note.

As his Christian faith grew, he was baptized and went to Bible College. He was also a pastoral counsellor at one of the biggest drug rehabilitation centres in South Africa.

I was already supposing he was baptised as an infant, i e his parents were of Presbyterian and not Baptist confession. If I was not wrong, I cannot congratulate to this re-baptism, since it is objectively a sacrilege. I'd suggest he repent of that, and get out of congregations that re-baptise when the only reason to doubt an already extant baptism is, he was supposedly too young for it.

I cannot affirm that these people are Christians, but I can affirm that they inherit an attitude to Africa (esp. East Africa) which dates back to Lutherans in the 19th C.

Most is spoken in Swedish on the video, but there are English subtitles.

One of my past love interests back when I was in Sweden was a girl who was the daughter of a Lutheran clergyman, she ended up marrying a black man (from Africa itself, or his parents were). Another one grew up in Kenya or Tanzania, in a missionary family, and her nickname when she was small was Dada Mzungu in Swahili. In both of these cases, to actually get the girl, I would have had to convert her to Catholicism, once I had converted myself, and in both cases I failed. But one thing I do not dislike about Lutheranism is how they have a really fraternal attitude with the Blacks they are missionaries among. No colonial white supremacy things, you learn Swahili and you learn to eat with your fingers, if you go down there. And you raise your families like that too (Lutheran quasi-clergy being normally married and often examples in having more than two children)./HGL

Citing Mark Shea on the Prejudice of Certain People he Considers as Racist

New blog on the kid : Citing Mark Shea on the Prejudice of Certain People he Considers as Racist · HGL's F.B. writings : Mark Shea : For Kaepernick AND For Tebow

Attentive readers of the blog may know, I often read Mark Shea. So I did today.

When white people* do well in this country, it’s because of their hard work and pluck. When the black president reminded them that the infrastructure of this country was not their doing, but was the fruit of immense state efforts to, for instance, create the colossal interstate system under Eisenhower or electrical grid under Roosevelt, he famously told them “you didn’t build that”. The ginned up Right Wing Lie Machine outrage over that supposed insult to hard-working white individuals resounded for weeks. How dare the black guy suggest we owe a thing to our country? We hard-working independent white people did it all with no help from anybody.

And when those white people march under the banners of the two regimes–Confederate and Nazi–who spilled more American blood on the Stars and Stripes than any other, our Traitor -in-Chief calls the marchers “very fine people” and pretends he gives a crap about the American flag while he calls the black protester Kaepernick a son of a bitch.

But when black people do well in this country, they are instructed to be “grateful”. They are where they are because we white people allowed them to get there and they would be nothing without our generous patronage and support. They didn’t build that. We did. And we might just take it away if they get too uppity.

Don’t ever forget that double standard. It’s one of the reasons people like Kaepernick kneel.

Indeed, there is a double standard about gratitude here.

One could of course say that the people Mark Shea refers to as Christianist have one standard - and one prejudice.

That prejudice being : white men contribute as tax payers, black men live off the dole, live off the tax payers.

And, sure, that prejudice forgets highways and policemen, army and judges are as much paid for by taxes as the doles of poor people.

It also involves some kind of "statistical likelihood" prejudice. Now, black people are perhaps statistically likelier to live off the dole and white people less likely, in US. But there are many blacks who do not live off the dole, and there are many whites who do.

So, a black man who doesn't needs to be solidaric with the black men who do, a white man who doesn't needs no such solidarity to white men who do?

Obviously false.

This kind of double standards I have once referred to as "bourgeois prejudice" to one Anthony Zarrella (I hope I got his last name right this time : memory technics, his family being Italian, and Italian language is generous in double consonants) and I got lectured on bourgeois not being more erroneous in erroneous prejudices than proletarians and no less right in right prejudices.

That was not the point. Erroneous prejudice is, first of all, diverse among diverse groups, and this one is of the type you can label bourgeois (except the bourgeoisie tends to be anti-racist, so uses it on other divisians than racial ones), and on that occasion I was simply saying what type of erroneous prejudice I was momentarily annoyed at.

Also, such bourgeois prejudice is far from absent from the proletariate - and is part of what fuels more "proletarian" prejudice. I spoke to a man who had a prejudice about "kissing cousins" erroneously thinking genetic conditions leading to lower intelligence are more a genes mutation problem (where you need same gene from two parents) than a karyogrammatic one. He put this into a Proletarian rant about monarchy being kissing cousins (somewhat true in Victorian times) and this having led to fall of monarchy in France (when there were under pre-Revolutionary Europe so many principalities and high noble fiefs that kissing cousins was mostly not a thing).

I saw Mark Shea lable the post "racism is a sin" ... I am not sure that is adequate. Chesterton once said "capitalism is a sin, socialism is a heresy" - and I think he would have labelled racialism as a heresy, not just a sin.

There may be on some non-Christian blacks a curse of Ham - since a prayer of the Church asks God to lift that curse from their hearts. Meaning, it is not a genetic curse, it is a moral one, which definitely can be lifted by Grace.

And it is not the same thing as living off the dole, anyway.

Some of my readers might know I like Mussolini, but some of the more attentive ones may also know I like him better for 1935 (when he told Chesterton he despised racialism) and for 1936 (when he helped Schuschnigg against Hitler) than for 1938 (true, he was helping Franco, BUT he was also giving Hitler free space to gobble Austria - and sign ...), Carta della Razza.

Some of my readers may also know, I am concerned about "le grand remplacement" - fewer babies from our own countries and more immigrants to replace them - but some of the more attentive ones may also know, I have not argued being mean or stupid to the immigrants already here is a solution. I have argued making more babies is a solution. And with or withut immigrants, a necessary one, you know old age pensions don't get automatic value (despite some Proletarian prejudice) just by being paid in advance when the pensioners were still working and laying aside. Real value has to be produced for real value to be consumed. An old man may occasionally drink a Burgundy from when he was working, but he is not likely to eat crackers from when he was working.

Les Accueils de Matin - Un Inconvénient Récent, mais Intéressant pour le Débat

À la "maison de l'amitié" à La Défense, et parfois aussi à l'ordre de Malte, il m'arrive de croiser un Arabe non Musulman, probablement Marxiste, sympatiseur de FN, comme il paraît. Ou peut-être de la NPA. Je ne sais pas.

Trois fois au moins (y compris ce matin) j'ai l'impression qu'il a très bien pu être placé là pour me provoquer à un débat ou pour me donner "des leçons" tandis que je me sens trop fatigué pour un débat à l'oral. Les matins avant le café, je ne suis pas à mon mieux, et pas en forme pour un débat oral. Sur le ouaibe, ça a l'avantage que si je dois "prendre du souffle", je peux le faire sans que l'autre ou les autres mes coupent la parole.

Bon, ça pourrait à certains paraître un peu parano de supposer même la possibilité qu'un homme ou une situation parmi les sdf en accueil de jour eût un quelconque rapport avec les intrigues d'un quelconque réseau. Vérifions un peu, pourtant:

I - II Dimanches de la Passion, sept jours (la période coupe les dimanches en deux, donc il s'agit de la seconde moitié du premier dimanche de la Passion et la première moitié du Dimanche des Rameaux, font un jour entier ensemble, plus les six jours entier entre les deux), 5894 lecteurs, sur mes 37 blogs (bon, un ou deux manquent aux lectorats, cette semaine). Même si pour chaque blogue je ne vois que les dix premiers, vu le nombre des blogs, il y a davantage de pays que dix. Il n'y a pas de statistique globale pour la semaine comme telle, tous lecteurs confondus. Pour certains blogs, ça peut donc manquer des lecteurs, certes, peu de lecteurs par pays, à la fin d'un "top ten", mais on ne sait pas combien des pays.

États-Unis 3455 : 2 49 4 7 6 977 15 3 25 1 1 13 70 1 9 5 1 23 1111 841 228 22 6 8 7 3 16 1; France 872 : 331 26 36 12 64 19 26 1 23 8 8 12 14 3 11 77 13 132 8 12 1 1 34; Ukraine 530 : 23 65 11 3 1 39 60 1 17 179 27 37 3 33 30 1; Royaume Uni 401 : 370 4 1 25 1; Allemagne 134 : 3 2 12 13 1 1 14 8 24 1 15 1 10 11 17 1; Pologne 96 : 9 12 8 65 1 1; Brésil 74 : 3 1 11 2 16 1 15 5 11 2 1 2 4; Irlande 72 : 23 6 19 19 5; Japon 45 : 2 42 1; Belgique 26; Suède 23 : 2 1 7 3 2 4 4; Australie 21 : 1 1 1 11 6 1; Portugal 19 : 1 4 1 10 3; Spain 18 : 3 4 1 10; Néerlandes 16 : 2 1 5 2 5 1; Indonésie 16 : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1; Russie 15 : 1 1 1 2 7 1 1 1; Singapour (?) 12 : 1 4 2 1 1 1 1 1; Roumanie 11 : 9 2; Chine 10 : 7 1 2; Grèce : 2 2; Inde : 1 2; Philippines : 1 2; Référence perdue : 2 1; Canada : 1 1; Turkménistan : 1 1; Norvège 2; Finlande : 1 1; 1 vue par pays pour ces pays: Hongrie, Argentine, Palestine, Israel, Tchéquie, Colombie, Égypte.

Même en France, il y a 125 ou presque lecteurs par jour, aux États-Unis 494 ou presque, Ukraine, Pologne, Roumanie, Russie et Chine ensemble (pays de culture assez récente marxiste, donc) presque 95 par jour. Les pays du Commonwealth (ou pour l'Irlande : auparavant Commonwealth), ça donne ensemble 71 lecteurs par jour.

Et personne parmi eux aurait eu l'idée de se vérifier sur ma situation et voir si mes accueillants pourraient arranger quelque forme de "thérapie en groupe"? Je pense que oui, quand même.

Le début ce matin était ultra-bidon si c'était le cas (et sinon, rigolez sur l'idée, elle est drôle même si elle ne sera pas vérifiée). Juste le weekend, j'avais publié un article relié à d'autres un peu en avant, et j'avais juste donné des bonnes raisons pour ne pas croire sans scepticisme que les Australopithèques avaient des pieds humains ou que nous en descendions. Et son propos était essentiellement de marteler les propos évolutionniste juste à propos les homo erectus, australopithecus africanus et ainsi de suite en arrière ou en avant.

Il prétendait, si c'était facétieusement pour me poser une piège ou en bonne foi, que les aborigines australiens sont des homo erectus et qu'ils ne diffèrent de nous que par les sourcils - les erectus archéologiques comme les aborigines.

Probablement l'idée de quelqu'un a pu être de me faire découvrir que le prognathisme des homo erectus était trop prononcé et que son cerveau était trop petit. Donc, ils ne seraient pas des hommes comme nous en avons, y compris pas des aborigines australiens.

C'est un peu drôle de recourir à la craniométrie comme ça pour prouver que quelqu'un (y compris quelqu'un de défunt) ne soit pas un homme, mais un sous-homme. Ça me rappelle quelque chose moins drôle ... les sociales-démocrates suédois et les national-socialistes allemands (deux fascismes que je n'aime pas, à moins que ce serait un insulte à Mussolini de qualifier Per Albin Hansson de fasciste - il a malheureusement fini par accepter l'hommage que Hitler lui voulait faire). Vous savez, ils ont voulu prouver, les suédois avant les allemands même, que certains hommes soient moins développés ou évolués que d'autres et que donc on pouvait disposer de leurs familles et fortunes et situations comme si c'était du bétail.

Mais que la craniométrie soit drôle ou non, restons pas sur les crânes seules. Il y a aussi des observations à faire sur la taille. Ceci dit, la craniométrie prend de l'attention dans l'affaire.

Les Homo ergaster ont vécu entre 1,8 et 1 million d'années avant notre ère. Ils descendraient vraisemblablement d’Homo habilis. Leur cerveau atteint une capacité de 850 cm³, ce qui impliquerait une consommation régulière de viande. Les spécimens découverts mesuraient entre 1,55 m et 1,70 m, pour un poids de 50 à 65 kg. Le dimorphisme sexuel de cette espèce est plus réduit que chez Homo habilis. Le faciès d'Homo ergaster présente encore des caractères archaïques, notamment un fort prognathisme.

Et le source à propos Homo erectus:

Avec un volume cérébral compris entre 850 et 1100 cm³, c'est le premier hominidé qui dépasse les 1000 cm³ ( à comparer à nos 1350 cm³ actuels, en moyenne).

Le site

Hominidés
http://www.hominides.com/html/ancetres/ancetres-homo-erectus.php

ne donne pas la taille.

Mais si la taille était réduite, la capacité crânienne relativement basse pourrait s'expliquer des carences (qui ont pu réduire la croissance dans plus d'un sens) ou d'un nanisme.

Notre capacité crânienne est en moyenne 1350 cm³, mais quelles sont les limites de variation? L'article

Capacité crânienne, la wikipédie
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacit%C3%A9_cr%C3%A2nienne

donne pour "homme moderne" les chiffres 1100 à 1700 cm³. Son synonyme

Brain size, the wickipeejuh
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_size

par contre précise:

The balance of findings for human brain size, largely based on participants of European ancestry, indicates an average adult brain volume of 1260 cubic centimeters (cm³) for men and 1130 cm³ for women. There is, however, substantial variation;[1] a study of 46 adults aged 22–49 years and of mainly European descent found an average brain volume of 1273.6 cm³ for men, ranging from 1052.9 to 1498.5 cm³, and 1131.1 cm³ for women, ranging from 974.9 to 1398.1 cm³.[2]

Et il faut noter que si la limite basse est audessus des 850 cm³ des homo ergaster, il s'agit de variation normale, en excluant les carences, les nanismes et les autres situations d'une éventuelle pathologie. Des créationnistes ont même osé dire que la variation chez l'homme moderne est entre 800 et 2000 cm3 - ce qui donne un carrément dedans pour les 850 cm³ des homo erectus du type homo ergaster.

À mon avis, c'est fort possible que les homo erectus trouvés ont vécu dans des conditions aptes à réduire leur capacité crânienne comme leur taille?

On peut par contre pas accuser que les crânes soient d'adolescents, car l'adolescent a déjà sa capacité maximale.

Et si les exemples étaient d'enfants pas même pleinement préadolescents, alors la grande taille indiquerait qu'il s'agit d'une taille adulte plus grande que chez nous normalement.

Donc, il semble que la capacité crânienne même basse des erectus (850 cm3) peut s'expliquer s'ils étaient des hommes comme nous. Avec un trait du sourcil proche des aborigines et un trait prognathique pas vu aujourd'hui (d'ailleurs, le prognathisme et contigu avec le nôtre :

Quelques valeurs approximatives d'angle facial obtenues à partir de fossiles types de la lignée humaine :

Homo erectus : 75 à 81°
Homo neanderthalensis : 71 à 89°
Homo sapiens : 82 à 88°

Prognathisme, la wikipédie
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognathisme

Par contre, Homo habilis : 65 à 68° - est-ce sûr que ce soit un homme? Au moins, ce n'est pas un chimpanzée:

Petrus Camper is also known for his theory of the "facial angle" originally in connection with two lectures he gave in Amsterdam in 1770 to art students on beauty and portraiture. He was concerned with the fact that all artists painted the black Magus in the nativity with Caucasian face. He determined that modern humans had facial angles between 70° and 80°, with African and Asian angles closer to 70°, and European angles closer to 80. According to his new portraiture technique, an angle is formed by drawing two lines: one horizontally from the nostril to the ear; and the other perpendicularly from the advancing part of the upper jawbone to the most prominent part of the forehead. He claimed that antique Greco-Roman statues presented an angle of 100°-95°, Europeans of 80°, 'Orientals' of 70°, Black people of 70° and the orangutan of 42-58°, but not in an overtly racist fashion-he merely claimed that, out of all human races, Africans were most removed from the Classical sense of ideal beauty. These results were later used as scientific racism, with research continued by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772–1844) and Paul Broca (1824–1880).

Notons, à propos les racines protestantes des erreurs racialistes et évolutionnistes:

Camper was the son of a local well-to-do minister, who made his fortune in the East Indies.

Le clergé catholique en Leyde n'était pas des Ukraniens Uniés, donc, s'il était fils d'un clerc, d'un ministre du culte, celui-ci était forcément Protestant. Et "minister" veut ici bien dire ministre du culte et pas dans le sens politique, car la wikipédie néerlandaise nous renseigne:

Camper was de zoon van Florentius Camper,[2] een welgestelde predikant in Leiden, die tussen 1702 en 1713 fortuin had gemaakt in Nederlands-Indië, en van Sara Geertruida Ketting.

Et ces autres compères du racisme Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire était déiste,

Geoffroy was a deist, which is to say that he believed in a God, but also in a law-like universe, with no supernatural interference in the details of existence. This kind of opinion was common in the Enlightenment, and goes with a rejection of revelation and miracles, and does not interpret the Bible as the literal word of God. These views did not conflict with his naturalistic ideas about organic change.

et Paul Broca ...

Paul Broca was born on 28 June 1824 in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Bordeaux, France, the son of Benjamin Broca, a medical practitioner and former surgeon in Napoleon's service. Broca's mother was a well-educated daughter of a Protestant preacher.[2] ... In 1848, Broca founded a society of free-thinkers, sympathetic to Charles Darwin's theories. Broca was fascinated by the concept of evolution and once remarked, "I would rather be a transformed ape than a degenerate son of Adam".[3][4]

Désolé de prendre les articles de la wikipédie anglaise tellement sur un article censé être en français, mais la wikipédie française dit moins sur les origines religieuses de ces hommes savants, sans doute à cause d'une observance laïciste quelque part.

Retournons un peu à la Maison de l'Amitié ce matin. Un peu plus tard, je me mêle de la discussion, disant que les Néanderthaliens sont probablement tués par le Déluge et les Cro Magnons sont probablement de la ligne de Noé. Cet Arabe fait des propos sur comment ce serait ridicule de le penser, me prie de ne pas me mêler dans une discussion qui concerne "La Science" avec des données de "La Religion", et je lui demande de se poser un plus moin proche de moi, un peu plus proche de son partenaire de discussion, alors. Eh, non! Il est Arabe (ou qqc), pas question qu'un Arabe se fasse la peine de faire la volonté d'un "clochard" comme moi! Il me propose de prendre des casques (sans me proposer un casque à prendre). Il aura au moins un peu plus tard la gentillesse de changer le sujet.

L'Australie est raciste paraît-il. Il a vécu en Australie, comme adolescent. L'Australie a été colonisé de manière très raciste. Je n'ai rien à dire contre.

Depuis que je lis le site CMI, je vois les références à ce racisme et comment l'évolutionnisme a empiré celui-ci. Creation Ministries International est de conviction antiraciste, jusqu'à de trouver même trop raciste d'être contre l'immigration. Le fondateur et ancien chef de l'organisme est un docteur de médecine d'origine partiellement aborigine. Donc, ils dénoncent régulièrement le racisme ensemble avec le darwinisme.

Je renvoie à un article qui s'appelle:

Darwin’s bodysnatchers: new horrors
par Carl Wieland (ce fondateur des CMI)
http://creation.com/darwins-bodysnatchers-new-horrors

C'est une certaine Amalie Dietrich - darwiniste convaincue - qui demande aux gens de fusiller des aborigines pour qu'elle puisse ramener des spécimina aux savants en Europe. Certains la chassent, mais d'autres collaborent.

Comme Carl Wieland est Protestant, il ne précise pas que cette Amalie Dietrich est d'une région fort protestante de l'Allemagne. Siebenlehn - sa ville natale - comme Wittenberg, se trouve en Saxe. Siebenlehn est 1 h 51 min (178,3 km) via A14 et A9 de Wittenberg, sur l'autoroute, et il y a des distances plus courtes en kilomètres, même si plus lentes aussi. Siebenlehn est plus proche de Dresde que Wittenberg l'est de Leipzig. Siebenlehn est donc le territoire de Luther (par exemple de Chemnitz, un certain temps Karl-Marx-Stadt, où le couvent franciscain fut dissout par décision gouvernementale en 1540 et le monastère bénédictin fut sécularisé l'année suivante).

Ce même endroit avait un "Landesbischoff" ("évêque" luthérien pour un "Land", une région historique) qui était Friedrich Otto Coch - un national-socialiste convaincu, car membre des Deutsche Christen, et son successeur actuel est une femme. Le milieu est très éloigné des régions plus au moins catholiques que j'ai fréquenté les parties germanophones de mon enfance. En Hesse, donc probablement à peu près à Francfort, les Protestants devancent légèrement les Catholiques et sont devancés par les sans confessions, et en / à Wien (le Bundesland comme la ville) les Catholiques et les sans confessions sont les deux grandes statistiques, fortement devant les Protestants. S'il vous plaît, pas confondre avec Amalie Dietrich ou Friedrich Otto Coch.

Et, comme précisé, ne pas non plus confondre les Australiens que je respecte, les CMI, avec le racisme historique de l'Australie.

C'est bien entendu fort possible (ou au moins possible) que cet Arabe n'a rien à voir avec un quelconque intrigue de me traîter comme un "cas mental" (bien que des gens le veulent) ou quelqu'un "à éduquer" (bien que des gens le veulent aussi). Enfin, ce serait un peu bidon de leur part de choisir un intermédiare qui est capable de prendre les réconstructions ayant marqué le récit de

La Guerre du feu (film, 1981), la wikipédie
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Guerre_du_feu_%28film,_1981%29

pour de la monnaie courante. Il est une adaptation du roman homonyme écrit en 1909 par J.-H. Rosny aîné. Et si "évolution" il y a eu quelque part, la vision des Néanderthaliens a considérablement "évolué" depuis 1909 ou même seulement depuis 1981. Il n'est plus très fort possible de prendre des Néanderthaliens pour des sous-humains - même s'il y a qui les prennent (illogiquement, car il y a eu des descendants commun) pour "une autre espèce" que les hommes anatomiquement modernes - ceux que je considère la race de Noé.

Il a aussi été un peu bidon dans le fait de prendre les dates très vieilles et très peu récentes comme une preuve que "les faits religieux" seraient "de beaucoup plus tard". Mais si je ne crois pas à ces datations? Oui, il me dit que j'ai "le droit", mais il note pas que je pourrais avoir un argument, ni que ma position détruit son argument que les Néanderthaliens et leur extinction seraient beaucoup plus anciens qu'un Déluge (qu'il qualifierait peut-être d'éventuel, en plus). À moins qu'il pourrait substantier ce genre de datations, ce que je ne crois pas, sauf par référence aux experts. Alors, il me serait peut-être plus intéressant de prendre le débat avec ces experts, non? Mais, ils l'évitent comme la peste, et on se demande pourquoi. J'ai ma petite idée dessus ...

J'ai finalement quitté l'endroit avant d'y prendre un café, parce qu'un autre homme s'est assis à côté. Le problème est qu'il était noir? Non, pas du tout. Il avait une capote (emballée heureusement) sur sa veste, et ça me coupait l’appétit de prendre un café à côté.

PS, précisons que ce n'est pas juste moralement que Frankfurt et Wien sont distants de Siebenlehn : 4 h 1 min (428,3 km) via A4 et A5 pour Frankfurt, 5 h 15 min (506,7 km) via D1/E65 pour Wien, et on passe par Prague.
