Entry: Postmodern, Not Hypermodern: Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/postmodern_not_hypermodern_russell_kirk#14544 Post contents: Response to "Cundliff's latest nonsense: I've cited the original Constitutional clause counting Negroes as 3/5 of a human being, the fact that Negroes as a whole weren't granted U.S. Citizenship until the passage of the 14th Amendment, and the well known sentiments of the founders regarding race-based differences. I could also cite as further evidence of America's racialist foundations, the Chinese Exclusion Act, 1924 Immigration Act, and several other measures designed to preserve America as a primarily European descended Nation. Your question regarding a "Beethoven Gene" amongst Germans is a classic straw man argument and is a desperate ploy to avoid dealing with the main topic. On the other hand, you haven't offered one shred of data disproving or discrediting the role of Genetics in determining Intelligence, or whether distinct human population groups, i.e Races, exist or not. Stick to clutching at your rosary beads and dreaming about the revival of the Confederacy, or a reversion to some Whig/Tory 18th century paradise. When you can amass data challenging the scientific foundations of genetic race-based differences, come back and talk to me. Until then, content yourself living in a reactionary dream world that was destroyed a century and half ago(your theological views date back even further). Case closed. Sent at: 2008 07 24
