I can't even rock with this jokingly.

Our genetic strength as a people comes from our diversity. Too long we've been played into that divide and conquer game to the point that we see light-skin and dark-skin before we see brother and sister. The division amongst our people is probably worse than its ever been right now. We need a complete internal change on the subject of skin tone. Goes from darkie jokes to light skinned being a fad, s_ is sickening. Inferiority complexes on both sides, passed down from generation to generation, fostering division and self hatred. It's 2011, time to squash this @$!$. Strength comes through unity.

"When you see me, see you..."

Many shades, 1 people.

There are really oppressive elements out here, messing us up. Bang on that.



White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University-led study finds.

Analyzing the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans, researchers found that the former showed much less variation among 10,000 tested genes than did the latter, which was expected.

They also found that Europeans had many more possibly harmful mutations than did African, which was a surprise.

"Since we tend to think of European populations as quite large, we did not expect to see a significant difference in the distribution of neutral and deleterious variation between the two populations," said senior co-author Carlos Bustamante, an assistant professor of biological statistics and computational biology at Cornell.

It's been known for years that all non-Africans are descended from a small group, perhaps only a few dozen individuals, who left the continent between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago.

But the Cornell study, published in the journal Nature Thursday, indicates that Europeans went through a second "population bottleneck," probably about 30,000 years ago, when the ancestral population was again reduced to relatively few in number.

The doubly diluted genetic diversity has allowed "bad" mutations to build up in the European population, something that the more genetically varied African population has had more success in weeding out.
