So you wanna get controversial? lets do it intelligently.

A correction I must make is regarding your jewish paragraph. very few jews were spared, even the talented ones. doctors, lawyers, engineers, they did not discriminate, even when it directly hurt the german machine. The germans could have had a skilled jewish slave force but they would rather them be killed. See "Hitlers Willing Executioners" by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen.
it dispells a lot of these common myths

thanks for that..

i just remember seeing in schindlers list they kept skilled workers and professionals and stuff.. people to help them with their army and everything.. but maybe its not true?

thats cool,I figured they were all differnt,I just didnt know who was from where or who was bigger or smaller,but now I know western africans are bigger and eastern tend to be smaller,or atleast it seems.

I think its pretty cool either way how people within close ranges are built different etc,Ive been watching a show called "going tribal", and the different ways these people live and such is pretty cool

Yes, I didn't know this myself until college. Many people don't know this. Its weird when you have "African-Americans" questioning your heritage (and whether or not I'm a American Citizen ) and you are the same shade of brown as them. Most African-Americans have Western African features. I have Eastern African/Arabic features.

I think its cool too. What channel does that show come on?

discovery channel on tue nights at 10 or 11 est I believe,its really cool,they were showing a tribe from eastern africa last week,showing how modern weapons made their way into their society,but their enemy got them first and massacered them before they got weapons aswell. pretty crazy how the wars in sudan are effecting smaller tribes way of life.

nah, it's a product of being poor.....a lot of time sports are the only way out of the ghetto...same applied to Irish boxers back in the day, etc etc

I don't buy that for one minute, there are PLENTY of poor people from all races, it does not explain the disproportionate amount of African AMericans in sports.

Where are the mexicans in the NBA and NFL? How about the poor white trash?

Schindler was self-serving. That the Jews working for him benefited was a side effect.
