Ideology and Racial Differences?

[Mortimer]

It's more climate and environment than race, like temperate vs tropical climate. Pakistan and Laos are more like Nigeria than like Germany and Japan.

some northern climate tribes also live no different then bushmen like eskimos for example, they live in small igloos and hunt for a living. so its not only if you are dark skinned or tropical

Sounds as if this man C.G. Seligman is a old white supremacist, just think logical that it is ideologically and bias driven to claim on one hand its not african if there is a small semitic influence on the other hand enslaving totally white looking children for having "one drop of negroe blood" and claim all of them are "negroes" that is totally only ideologically driven and so wrong

Mr. Seligman was one of the greatest experts on Africa so I'm inclined to believe what he has to say.

Slavery is a whole other issue and in America, was based on the status of the mother.

I doubt if the father was a negroe and not the mother, it would be any different?

Yes. That's why there were free negroes.

It's singular 'negro'(from Spanish) and plural 'negroes'. There is no such thing as 'negroe'!

[Mortimer]

Yes. That's why there were free negroes.

So you basically claim that slavery has no link to "race" or being a negroe, that sounds as if you say being a slave has nothing to do with being a negroe? There existed in history lots of slavery, and white slavery too, but in america specifically it was really because they are negroes, some negroes were free, but only because they were released by their masters because they liked them or in some northern states, not because their father was a negroe instead of their mother or because they are not really "negroes". Negroe has something to do with being a slave, negroe blood has something to do with being a slave, right or wrong? Did you watched 12 years a slave? Really good movie, he was a free negroe, but it happened to him because he is a negroe that he was enslaved and no one noticed.

Mortimer is right that it makes no sense to call so called Hamites like Somalis and other Horn Africans as Caucasians, just because they have some Caucasian admixture. At most they are dark mulatto-like.

I dont know how correct that it is to attribute economical differences or differences in development Index of countries all "due to race" only

It's not correct of course. There are always several aspects to consider. The world is complicated.

Its racial. Scientific fact that some race are smarter than others and they have more IQ. If its depends on climate then why iraqis are much poorer than finns? Iraq is located in the Fertile Crescent, its much better place for agriculture, economy etc.

and if you read the link it was not only east african empires, there were central south and west african empires as well, its totally ideologically driven to ascribe any civilisation in africa due to a "semitic or hamitic influence" whatever that should mean, again pseudo scientific terms and totally ideologically driven
