But features do... and as pale as I am (Irish, Scottish and German background)... I've known a couple blacks that are lighter than me (well maybe not lighter.. more like as light as me)... I went to school with one for years before I found out she was black...Quote:

I am not an anthropologist. This is a highly specialized area depending on the area you choose to study. The whole subject of race is up for volumes of debate. The bottom line is that there is no clear cut agreement as to how many human races can be classified under particular types. As far as I am aware some say some say three races some say five races.Quote:

As far as I understand, the classification is based on phenotypes ( how someone looks) rather than genotypes( genetic make up). Some traits are dominant and some recessive. This may explain why someone who is of Negroid background actually looked as light as you.
No matter the variety of subjective traits there is but one race of humans.

Boston Marathon suspects are of Chechen origin
The suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon - one killed, one on the loose - are brothers of Chechen origin, at least one a legal permanent resident of the United States, law enforcement officials told NBC News.
The suspect at large early Friday was identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, born in Kyrgyzstan and holding a Massachusetts driver's license. He was the suspect in the white hat in surveillance photos from the marathon released by the FBI.
His brother, who was killed in a firefight with law enforcement, was identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, born in Russia. He became a legal permanent resident in 2007, the officials said. He was the suspect in the black hat in the FBI photos.
No really. Just the luck of the draw genetically... being she was half black. Her older brother was very dark skinned.Quote:

The Kaufman killers were Americans. So was that Colorado guy. Win some, lose some?
According to the uncle, the younger one (maybe still alive somewhere) had been in this country since 2001, was doing well in school and had a bright future, but his older brother (killed in the shootout early this morning) came to this country about five years ago and began poisoning the younger brother's mind about politics and religion and the U.S. The boys' father is in Chechnya and pleading with the younger one to give up peacefully. Both young men were legal permanent U.S. residents.
Odd since what I've seen the Uncle says he hasn't seen eithe rof them since 2005.
And the Father was claiming they are innocent and aggels... yeah right... innocent my butt...
Why odd? The uncle seemed sure about the characters of the two young men. You don't have to be talking with them on a regular basis to know characters/personalities of your relatives.Quote:

Apparently, the older brother (from what I am hearing) was socially and emotionally disconnected, had no friends, was obsessed with Islam and what was "right." The younger brother had totally become part of the U.S. landscape until his brother started to influence him a few years ago.
And yet the Chechen president blames the evil on their American upbringing, not the apparent Islamic fanaticism.Quote:

American soldiers have been killed by Chechen jihadists in Afghanistan and Iraq . There are whole cells of Chechen jihadists waging war in Syria today.Quote:
Any attempt to draw a connection between Chechnya and Tsarnaevs — if they are guilty — is futile
So he loves Instagram. Ok.Quote:

P.S. I hear they had a fondness for a radical Australian cleric. What of that, Clete?
I don't apologize for nut cases that use God's name in vain as they justify extreme bad behavior, be they from Islam, or Christian, Jew or whatever. These guys had as much in common with Islam, as the Klan has with Christianity.
Ok, but should people remain in denial that the chief domain for terrorism is radical Islam? Yes, we darn sure need to stop tiptoeing around it, sensitivity be damned.Quote:

That was then, this is now. Recent events may have alienated him, particularly if the Russians had singled him out and in any event there has been plenty to radicalise Muslim youth. We are expecting problems when our muslim youth return from Syria and you might find the same problem
I think soft targets is the next 'wave' .
As opposed to tall buildings. Yes a small cell can accomplish much, in fact most of these attacks have been carried out by small cells and ithe idea of using IED's has been well proven in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's difficult if your enemy isn't going to face you with a gun, what good will your assault rifle be? What good will your hand gun be? Food for thought for the NRA. I expect the sales of bullet proof vests to be the next growth industry, if for no other reason than they are being supplied to Syrian rebelsQuote:

Go ahead, tell us how evil the kid is.Quote:
When 8th grade Jared Marcum got dressed for school on Thursday he says he had no idea that his pro-Second Amendment shirt would initiate what he calls a fight over his First Amendment rights.
"I never thought it would go this far because honestly I don't see a problem with this, there shouldn't be a problem with this," Jared said.
It was the image of a gun printed on Jared's t-shirt that sparked a dispute between a Logan Middle School teacher and Jared, that ended with Jared suspended, arrested and facing two charges, obstruction and disturbing the education process, on his otherwise spotless record.
Jared's father Allen Lardieri says he's angry he had to rush from work to pick his son up from jail over something he says was blown way out of proportion.
"I don't' see how anybody would have an issue with a hunting rifle and NRA put on a t-shirt, especially when policy doesn't forbid it," Lardieri said.
The Logan County School District's dress code policy prohibits clothing that displays profanity, violence, discriminatory messages and more but nowhere in the document does it say anything about gun images.
"He did not violate any school policy," Lardieri reiterates. "He did not become aggressive."
Exactly... now the left is going after the first amendment now too.Quote:

No what's evil is the parent or person who gave the child a political T shirt and radicalised him a a young age. The school is correct to discipline himQuote:

Being Pro-gun isn't "radicalized"... it called being AMERICAN. A concept a lot of non-Americans can't grasp...
We have something they don't have... a Second Amendment RIGHT.. to own guns...
If standing up for your rights is a radical idea then they are going to be coming after a lot of us. Why is it so radical to teach your child to hunt?Quote:
