May as well drop it Pinworm. I think bnb likes being provocative.
He does have interesting things to say. Even if I don't agree with some of it.

You are an optimist amigo. Very good quality. Cheers my friend. I am off to blaze, watch the tube and, hopefully, blissful slumber.

What you're insinuating is being childish is bad according to society. Those that never grow up are racist? This is like a Zen meets western religion. You're born bad "of sin" and you work at cultivating the bad chi to obtain karma, but how do you detect the good and bad chi to have a balanced karma? Do you select chi based upon good, bad, and strange spins? That gets all Deepak, huh?

Insinuating nothing. I pretty sure you don't grasp the meaning of that word.

Overall the results obtained in Experiment 1 suggest that at birth, newborns display no spontaneous preferences for faces from own- or other-ethnic groups. Although null results can be difficult to interpret, it is unlikely that these results are due to an inability to differentiate between faces from different ethnic groups, given that newborns discriminate between faces from within their own ethnic group (Pascalis & de Schonen, 1994). The most likely account is that newborns are able to discriminate between faces from different ethnic groups, but no group elicits a greater attraction.

Yes, because the human brain us fully formed at birth.

No, but the baby mind does have a form, right? Can do things, respond, etc.

The human mind is never fully formed. It just keeps forming,

Would you say the Human brain does more or less forming from birth to age 20, or from age 20 to 80?

Evolutionary racism is not debunked because of the facial features of babies. I am not saying it exists or it doesn't, I am simply saying it is not debunked because a white baby will smile at a black guy. Although I do believe some elements of racial preference is inborn.

The most ardent racists I know laugh their ass off at Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, and other black comedians. Studying their faces, UncleBuck must think they love black people.

My point was that someone said evolutionary racism has been debunked. My point is that you can glean many results from babies because they can't tell you what they are thinking.

That you're an idiot? Hey, you asked.

"It doesn't mean babies are not born bad, or anything like that."

Ok, babies are born bad. That means that through the grace of Jesus,we are saved, or as a Buddhist, through enlightenment. So no matter which way you look at it, if you become accepting through liberal scientism, or accepting of Jesus, or finding the letter A lotus moon, it all leads to the same path.

I was making a fucking joke before, "haha."
