Doug, when I was on active duty in the USN, I was teaching at a school for mid-grade officers (mostly Lieutenants). I taught a very tough course (lasting a week) on anti-air warfare. It was the most rigorous course in the 6-month curriculum. I would personally grade the roughly 30 or so tests. Every time, my supervisor (one paygrade over me) would walk over to my desk and stand over me, then pick up one of the tests I'd just graded as a 2.6 (3.2 was passing), and line through the 2.6 and write "3.2" -- he'd then go through the pile and do this FOR EVERY BLACK OFFICER. He did not change the grades for white officers. The level of effort I put out (an entire weekend before the Monday test) to horse up the entire class, but mostly the black officers, should have been sufficient for everyone to pass -- and most did. At times, I would almost give the test answers to the black officers, and I'd get "all right, all right, okay" but then, a day later on Monday, the answers were 2nd grade English and with no comprehensive understanding of the problem. THE SCHOOLS PLAY A BIG ROLE IN THIS. They teach young blacks that they are victims, tolerance of bad behavior, and that "white culture" (whatever the eff that is!) is bad -- so stay in your lane, homies, because you don't want to become "one of them." The exception proves the rule: on my team at this school, was an incredibly sharp officer (who is black) and with whom I'd go fishing almost every weekend. He told me "I hate the paternalism of the Navy -- I had to work had to get where I am, but other black officers just get pushed along. It's not a good incentive for me." I have a million stories like this -- the real issue is that many of these "pushed along" blacks don't have a problem with that -- their consciences are clear. That's a systemic issue that will not get solved until the ghettoes are cleared out and blacks can see that it was a shit system of the Democrat party's making that has enslaved them even after the Emancipation Proclamation.
We all have to work with our genetic heritage -- for better or worse. We're born with our genetic heritage and it determines so much about our outcomes in life. It governs your intelligence, personality & physical traits, interests, etc. When your heritage is 100,000 years in Africa; where all you have to do is pick fruit for lunch or do some rudimentary farming, that "culture" is going to be backward compared to those whose ancestors were Northern European and/or East Asia (and their descendants). IT JUST IS WHAT IT IS. The solution was evolved naturally in the US: segregation, where blacks had their own communities, their own high schools, their own colleges. Whites had their communities. Everyone was cordial to everyone else. Whites knew who the "good" and "solid" blacks were and the bad ones too. Same for the Blacks. They knew the bad Whites too. Everyone just steered clear of problems. Black kids weren't subject to being at the bottom of every academic test or grades--which is quite humiliating. Even the Armed Services had the Tuskegee Airmen and the like. It worked and those people had plenty of pride and honor. I've been around young black kids and they are incredibly dull, expressionless. It's because half of them are VERY low in (academic) intelligence; really dumber than rocks. I'm obviously kidding a bit, but not much! And just like Aparteid S. Africa, all that had to change!!! Self-righteous do-gooders can't help themselves. They had to heap a ton of grief on Whites and coodle Blacks; reverse predjudice really. That's where we remain. I'll do a post called "We Must Work Within Our Genetic Heritage" or something.
The Democrats are off the chain ludicrous. Everything is a show. There is nothing real. The only thing they are is evil criminals. Don’t fall for their words they are the antithesis of what and who they are.
When I stumbled onto the theory of soul levels, it all started to make sense why people are the way they are.
The theory suggests that the majority of infant (just learning to survive) and baby souls (rigid and fundamentalist) are born in 3rd world nations. USA has more young souls (DJT is perfect example) whereas mature (why am I here?) and older souls live in (what used to be smaller & homogeneous) Scandinavian countries.
Even if it’s only a theory, it’s an interesting theory nonetheless:
I know we all have a "genetic heritage" that we are born with. See my reply above to Tuxi. Yes, are inherited genetic "configuration," and all that it entails, could be science backing your notion of "old souls?"
I think it’s high time these things were discussed critically. No one particularly wants to have a whole group shown up to be less capable than they really believe they are, but pride is one thing, facts are another. I’m sure the Democratic Party can attest to that
Democrats cause everybody to be stunted in intelligence. They want to see the world in rose-colored glasses, and each event that has happened in the past 150 years, the Democrats always have their cast of characters, like something out of a movie. The dramatics, the feigned tears, and the lies. Can't write a better pearl-clutcher volume than if you are a Democrat.
I see white Democrats as bringing the downfall of American blacks. Right now white Democrats have blacks thinking they can't learn, because of the shape of education under Biden was horrendous. They don't believe blacks can get a Voter ID because of getting to the location of the photo center, and they believe that blacks do not have the knowledge to compete in college admissions and need affirmative action.
No, I disagree. We all have our genetic heritage and it's incredibly predictive of personal traits: from personality, traits, intelligence, interests to abilities and physical attributes. Personally, I hit the jackpot as I inherited traits mostly from my German, nominally Jewish, grandfather who was the only other engineer in all of my family's trees--all branches. His family came to the USA and Chicago in 1898. He died 4 years before I was born. He was a Mechanical Engineer graduate out of a Chicago engineering school and made good in California as an HVAC contractor and he had his own businesses. All three of his daughters, including my mother, went to Beverly Hills High all 4 years. I have the yearbook pics from Ancestry. He was bald and so am I. He was short and so am I. I found out about all this about 15 years ago when I did an Ancestry.com search. My family told me NOTHING. This is where it gets spooky. Even though I graduated in Chem. Eng. (which is very close to Mech Eng.), after I graduated from Ga Tech, I choose to try my hand with a growing HVAC contracting company (!!) as a management trainee. It didn't really work out and I went where the big bucks were---in the oil and gas engineering business. But it's so interesting the influence that my family tree had on me and NO ONE ELSE among my brothers and sisters. The same will be true for most people; we're fundamentally loaded with traits from our ancestors in our genetic material. Now, someone from E. Africa is going to have very different "genetic heritage." And also the environment has a huge part to play too.. ,But it's the east Asians and Northern Europeans who have higher intelligence that is passed-down to subsequent generations and other cultural qualities. African's aren't working with much I'm afraid---more with lower median IQs in the 80s. They are very kind and fun-loving and they tend to be a joy to be around, but they aren't likely at all to become rocket engineers or mathematicians, or physicists even if they were brought to live in the US at birth. Their genetic heritage is very dominant and environment is less so. Put succinctly, "we all have to work with our genetic heritage."

Everything they touch turns to 💩. Perhaps 1 in 20 is worth their salt. My experience with them over a lifetime has not been good.

The evolution of souls is a metaphysical theory, thus beyond science as we know it on earth.

I’m not unsubscribing… I need to read another few more times and digest.
