Ice People and Sun People
Posted on: 2010-02-08 17:55:47 It remains to be seen whether we can be true to the heritage of the Ice People in the conditions of abundance that now surround us. By 1/8/07 Black studies professor Leonard Jeffries once declared that whites were “ice people” and blacks were “sun people.” Prof. Jeffries is not a man whose opinions I normally endorse: he is notorious for his hateful rants against the white race. His hatred goes so far that he has even exhorted blacks not to consume foods that are white in color! But his names for the two races are quite apt: it is true that whites evolved in a colder climate than blacks, and this is the reason for the differences between the two races. As for what those differences are, here again I disagree with Prof. Jeffries. Whereas he thinks that whites’ Ice Age past made them violent and cruel, the truth is that it molded whites into people capable of creating civilizations that are the summit of human accomplishment. We have seen in the past two columns that whites and blacks differ in three basic ways: whites are more intelligent than blacks, less sexually promiscuous, and better able to defer gratification. The differences are so profound that they indicate whites and blacks evolved to form very different types of society suited to very different conditions. More... |
