PopeBeanie started the topic Can we keep this going? in the forum
The African and The Indigenous FreeThinkers 3 years, 7 months ago@ysumlin, I’ve seen your passion now, and I really hope this group can see more from you, while I hope you can invite more interactivity in this Forum section that can be presented as a list of topics. I will delete this “Can we keep this going?” topic that I’ve started here, or modify it to your wishes, if you disagree.
As I mentioned earlier,…[Read more]

PopeBeanie posted a new activity comment 3 years, 10 months ago
@ysumlin I would like to comment here or there on some of your updates, but anything we write here as updates have a short life. The last time I commented is now practically impossible to find, or refer to, as are most of the comments you or anyone else has posted. I didn’t want to start a new topic in the Forum section until I felt you were…[Read more]

@ysumlin – “white people are pure evil savages.” I didn’t know I was an evil savage, because of the colour of my skin. Thanks for informing me. I’ll just go and shoot myself now, for being white.

There’s no such thing as empty space, unless you mean by empty space what we mean in everyday life (“the room was empty,” “I emptied the bottle”). To physicists, “empty” space is kind of made up of a sea of subatomic particles jumping into and out of existence.

PopeBeanie replied to the topic Will you trust the Covid vaccine? in the forum Science 3 years, 11 months ago
I was looking for a good place to cite the following science & medicine story without starting a new topic, and this here topic seems appropriate, even if just as another brief reminder of the monumentalness of science & medicine. Side note, mention was made about how the vaccine will contribute to herd immunity. This has been overstated many…[Read more]

@ysumlin, thank you for responding and putting time into researching.
I understand and agree with all you’re saying except “There’s no such thing as white people and yet you and others find this term non offensive or disturbing, but instead you ask me about the term People of Color and it appears you don’t have an idea of where white peo…[Read more]-
That was too long, and cannot be edited. Long story short, I absolutely and especially appreciate your opinion this, while I’m still in the camp of calling people what they choose to call themselves, rather than what other people choose to call them.

PopeBeanie posted an update in the group
The African and The Indigenous FreeThinkers 4 years ago@ysumlin Thank you for starting this group!
As a non-African and non-Indigenous guy (and calling myself “white”), I’m interested in how you and others feel about use of the term “People of Color”. Out of respect for your intentions for this Group, I’ve not taken the liberty to create a topic about this in your Forum. In fact not seeing any topics…[Read more]-
Thanks Pope Beanie for your question, my reply is simply this in regards to the term People of Color. I did some research of the term before answering your question and this is why I have a late response. First of all I hate the term but I can find a common meaning because darkly pigmented humans represent all color hues of humans on this…-
The figure I had seen in _Discover Magazine_ in 1994 was that the only genetic difference between any two human beings anywhere is like 0..064 of 1 percent. The figure may have since changed with the complete mapping of The Human Geneome, but basically, we are literally talking about molecules here. Yet to hear some people talk, that is…-

PopeBeanie, If one really wanted to get pedantic, everyone is ndigenous to wherever they were born and everyone is foreign to wherever they weren’t. 😁😉

True. I think most people don’t understand what genetic drift, the founding effect, and the original gene pool means. The more diversity you have in a certain area this indicates the original gene pool this is what makes all of the other arguments that humans comes from any other place other than Africa mute, simply because Africa is the…

@Enco I’m not interested in being pedantic, but in how personal opinion of usage varies, because of, in spite of, or regardless of its historic usage, while cultures and language usage evolves. This is not an exact science, and much of it is just plain unpredictable, even in spite of anyone’s strong opinions about what’s “appropriate”… for…

I am familiar with the persons cited in that article and another i remember is Madison Grant. Those ideas of scientific racism informed American immigration policy for decades. It also differentiated between groups within Whitedom.
