re: Are their genetic differences between races? Or is it environment?

Africans had to run away from rhinos and elephants, so they learned to run fast. Whitey had to keep warm in the frozen North, so he learned to make whiskey. It's all environment.

Actually this is a cool topic. Women have better abilities to discern colors on the color wheel, while men have better hand-eye coordination. Women have strengths where men have weaknesses and vice versa.
This is why established gender roles have been around forever. And they are all equally important. I don't know why feminist get so upset that they can't do everything a man can do.

I wonder when all of that will die out.
Well to be fair, black urban culture certainly isn't helping.

I'm not trying to do that at all. It would depend on what criteria you're using if you were to try and "rank the races."

Absolutely. But it doesn't detract from my point. I have a PhD in an engineering field and I still get the "you speak so well" treatment.

IF they DID mean harm, would you 'pop a cap in dey arse' or since your upbringing was one of civility, verbally dress them down?

Like all those Ohio women being born pasty to blend in with the snow and fat to insulate their body heat.

im not even reviewing this before I post so sorry if it didn't make a lick of sense

Neither. I've literally ignored and walked away from a stranger who called me the N-word (guy was sitting in a car at an intersection and I was a pedestrian). It just made him madder, which was more gratifying than anything I could have said to him.

Reggie White said that Indians (feather, not dot) are really good at sneaking up on people.

Yep.
Most animals don't last long running full speed. It evolved out of the need to chase them until they tire out.
At least thats what I've always heard.

My children will not call themselves "black". Black in reference to "race" is only used to denote classes in america. Their skin color is not black, their ancestors don't come from a country called black, so their is no reason for them to describe themselves as black.

I'm white and if I witnessed this in person I would lose my shite.
You are a better man than I.
