They say there's no such thing racial differences: "My favourite teacher's 24 year old daughter was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Because she is of mixed heritage (Thai and Italian), its quite hard to find a bone marrow donor." Poor girl but it's still a thing worth discussing.

Oh this will be a long response as I look into the sources one by one.

Part one.

A.The MAO-A gene.

1)Your first sources deal with the gene MAO-A.I have heard of it before,but the general impression I got then from the material that got into my hands then,is that there is not an solidly established link between it and aggression.

What is the deal with that gene?There are studies that link it to several physical (like cancer) and mental disorders.

The first source you provide which studies aggression in African American males in relation to the monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) gene is just an abstract,I can not find the full text to see what was their sample' size which is very important.Also I do not know if they controlled for other factors behind aggression like poverty,traumatic events etc.Another important thing:The abstract refers vaguely to the limitations of the study,which I do not have access to.I promise to try and find the full text later.

The second time is an article from the conservative times (uh oh) which claims that African American males are more aggressive due to the MAOA-L variation of the MAOA gene and that the studies that proved the genetic difference on MAOA-L between africans and westerners (whites the writer claims) were censored.The sources that provide us in order to support this claim (that there was a study and it was suppressed) lead to pages that no longer exist. I follow the last source provided by the conservative article.The number of subjects in that study is a mere 78 in total.Furthermore that study did not look into the alleged difference between African americans and whites but it does conclude that a certain variation of the gene results in statistically more aggression in high provocation conditions.Still I do not know if they controlled for other factors that can affect agression levels like traumatic childhood,upbringing,substance abuse or simply having a bad day before participating in the study.

The alleged genetic difference on MAO-A levels between the two populations intrigues me and I will search to find the studies that support it to investigate their credibility.

The rest of the sources I will analyze in a next post as I want to read your sources.

PS On looks,agression and superior races :)

1.I am not into blonde hair,blue eyes and big boobs.I am into black hair and green eyes,combined with the ideal Greek facial features.Nordic/germanic features are not my cup of tea.

2.EVERY race in the past and in the presence even the current civilized ones have displayed tremendous barbarity and aggression on occasion.So the idea that there are genetically noblier races makes me very skeptical.After all,behavior is affected by a huge number of factors,most of them environmental.I believe therefore the key difference between a barbaric and a noble group of people,is culture not blood.But lets see if your sources will make me change my mind.

To be continued....
