Scientist vacillate on so much because science is settled under the next discovery comes along. Heck they can't even agree on what constitutes a healthy diet.
So over the years I have been conditioned to react to news of a new scientific discovery that its fact today but what about tomorrow?

You want the "truth", them open your eyes and look around. We ARE being lied to about race.
A LOT of the "social sciences" is just plan garbage. Politically correct garbage.

A number of years ago I lived in a southern city still very racially divided. I had a department to run but was confronted with racial issues that divided my employees. So one by one I sat with each employee trying to promote a collaborative team essential to reach the department's goals.
All of my employees were polite but I felt less than honest, except one and his reply concerning blacks was "they all sub-human". His remarks awaken me to what I was dealing with so my coaching approach ceased and I made it clear to all of them that their personal bias had no place in our office. If I found their personal bias interfered with the accomplishing of department goals it was a performance failing . The subject of my efforts revolved around a young black man I hired who had a master's degree as did his wife.
As I stated I am not an activist. My parents taught me to be fair and honest and judge people based on their behavior/merit . This employee was a good man seeking upward mobility. He left this city, his wife's home and they returned to his northern roots.
People must earn respect. he did. Let me end by referencing the myraid reality shows on television which include people of all races. do you think they have earned your respect? do they behave the way they do because of their color? Plainly speak trash comes in a variety of colors,economic-social backgrounds
In that same vein color should not be a reason for preferential treatment as to education, promotions, etc and in that the government missed the mark with overreaching goals that went from equal opportunity to equal outcomes. and that in my view is the "rub" for many people
But a house divided cannot stand and we all better learn how to get along
Can we ?

Even though the bias was true? Be honest, how would you "rate" the effectiveness of the two groups? Would you have rather have had just one type working for you...be honest.
TV has all races because they were FORCED to show all races. And now, with so many on welfare and being "easy marks", they're advertised to to get some of that easy money. It has nothing to do with them earning respect.
They don't behave as they do because of their color, color is just ONE difference of thousands. Color is just an easy way to identify them. The differences run VERY deep.
Sure it does, anyone CAN be "trashy", but they're pretty much ALL trashy.
Yes, that IS the rub...people clearly unqualified moving in via quotas and affirmative action. Makes other hate them, not accept them. Because we ALL know they're NOT our equals.
We're NOT going to "get along", Lincoln said that 150 years ago too, and it's as true today as then. Segregation IS the only workable solution.
