And that's about as ridiculous as it gets so far as making illogical conclusions goes.
Primal humans did not have countries nor did they have borders so how the heck can one make such a clueless deduction....Oh, I suppose if one has the mentality of a primal then one wouldn't have the capacity to think beyond what could be written in headline type across a flea's testicles.

"What Maxx is saying, and I agree with him, is that human beings are tribal and territorial"
Unless you're a hardline nationalist, that isn't the case. Yes, you love your territory but, like in the Schengen Area, some people don't mind others entering their country with no restrictions.
"That we have never evolved past that primal wiring is evidenced by the fact that every country has a border, and every country has an armed forces which is supposedly to protect it's border."
Not every country does, let me list a few. Panama, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, Dominica, Grenada, FSM, and Nauru all don't have a military force.
"it is hard wired into our DNA. Can cultural conditioning moderate that?"
Yes. Most of society has decided racism is bad, so thus it became, and people were taught that racism was bad, so now the vast majority of people aren't racist.
"But almost all the wars on planet earth in the last 60 years were in effect race wars. They were civil wars between two tribes competing for space and resources on the same territory. Thus we have had civil wars, race riots, terrorism, or calls for ethnic and religious separatism in Lebanon, Fiji, India, Chechnya, Cyprus, Georgia, Afghanistan, Biafra, Rhodesia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Liberia, Kashmir, Punjab, Sudan, Nigeria, Bougainville, East Timor, Yugoslavia, Kurdistan, New Zealand, Bhutan, Angola, Burma, Chechnya, Guadalcanal, Aden, Malaya, Oman, Congo, Northern Ireland, Palestine/Israel, Czechoslovakia, The Solomon's, Yemen, Mexico, East Timor, Thailand and recently, Ukraine."
I think you're confusing race with ethnicity again. All but one of these wars (Sudan) weren't race related. For example, you'd say the Kurds are Middle-Eastern, along with Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, so thus their conflict has nothing to do with race, but ethnicity. Race riots are different, they're the suppression of voices for equality, not some sort of tribalistic battle. Think of the Tulsa Massacre.
"Add to this sundry race riots and acts of terrorism in Britain, the US, France, Europe and just about every other country on Earth. And with the western world's failed social experiment with multiculturalism, the list keeps growing."
Those attacks happen everywhere. Hong Kong still is essentially in chaos and it's mostly Asian (>90%). Japan had the Sarin Gas Attack plus an arson+knife attack in October 2021 and it's pretty harsh to foreigners.
"You seem to be getting into the humanitarian ideal trap of thinking that human beings are rational, and all you need do to solve all the world's problems is to appeal to their reason."
That's not what I said at all. I said I'm skeptical, I only believe things if they are proven to be true. And, no, human beings are not often rational, recent history has proven that beyond a reasonable doubt.
"Human beings can be rational, when all other means are exhausted. But thinking that you can solve world over population simply by telling teenagers that they must be rational and not screw each other is not going to work. If human beings were rational, there would be no obesity, no diabetes, no religion, no crime, no dangerous thrill seeking behaviour, and no unwed mothers."
Well, that's obvious, nobody would argue against that. What's the point you're making here?

You're confusing not understanding something with not agreeing with it. Nobody except Bogan agrees with your belief that babies and animals are born inherently racist because it's ridiculous. Bogan is looking for some kind of justification for his own self-admitted racism, and your silly theory gives him that.

Stop running and deflecting your claim remains .....
In my very first post I said " you're saying humans learned to recognise others who weren't like them and they thus could be a threat to their particular group , on this , we are all agreed on so it seems ......
Do you comprehend this simple statement ?
Your second claim is the one you refuse to address do you wish to withdraw it?

I'm unsure whether you're asking a question or making a statement.
This cannot be true because strangers do not have to be a different race and people of different races do not have to be strangers. Your claims fail a basic logic test, so you should not be talking about what is smart and what is not.

That is what you do here: revel in the sound of your own voice, and treat other voices as annoying background noise. You really need more socialization experience, maxx: the level of disrespect you show to those who talk to you is off the charts, and even people as patient and forgiving as me are driven towards resenting you. Even here you repeated the same claim once again; do you know how annoying it is to hear some chap chanting the same line endlessly? Diversify your delivery, damn it.

It's not my fault you disagree with facts
fear is an instinctive behavior. fear of the unknown, fear of pain, , etc.
We are born with two innate fears the fear of falling the fear of loud sounds and that's it
now answer my questions about racism.
I explained to you 9 times what racism is , I cannot understand for you
you did not answer. what is racism,
I explained to you 9 times what racism is , I cannot understand for you
what are its origins, and what are its root causes.
Racism is learned behaviour that's again another fact , how come you still cannot prove babies and animals are born racist , I will tell you why as there is zero proof to back your childish assertions up .......you actually think babies are born racist seriously ????

Enough of this sharade. Quote where exactly you addressed my argument relating my personal childhood experience (seconded by Luigi) to the topic.

Luigi wrote Unless you're a hardline nationalist, that isn't the case. Yes, you love your territory but, like in the Schengen Area, some people don't mind others entering their country with no restrictions.
The EU was originally the EEC, which was an economic union, not a political one. But as usual, the élites found a way around the constitutions of individual counters to form a political union, which the majority of their populations did not want. And it is already coming apart. The UK was the first to flee, with Ireland and Italy only remaining as members because the elites did some sort of political shenanigans to prevent them from leaving. East European countries are openly defying the imperial dictates of Brussels in regard to immigration, refugees, homosexuality, and even defense policies. It is believed that the East European countries can, and eventually will, form their own bloc as Western Europe decays and enters a period of serious civil strife caused by the idi-otic immigration and refugee policies championed by their own stu-pid elites.
Luigi wrote Not every country does, let me list a few. Panama, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, Dominica, Grenada, FSM, and Nauru all don't have a military force.
I think you are mistaken. All of these countries have borders, or they would not be recognized countries. Panama definitely had an army because it was involved in the war in which the USA invaded Panama to overthrow General Noriega, who was a known narcotrafficante. So too, the US invaded Grenada when a Castro leaning communist party overthrew, and then assassinated, the elected Prime Minister. It must have had an army because the USA had casualties. The Swiss guards are the Vatican's Army. Dominica went to war with Honduras over a disputed line call in the soccer world cup. (The Soccer War) I don't know much about the other places you mentioned, but even if they do not possess a standing army because they are just too poor or too small. But they would have to have some sort of paramilitary force. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Luigi wrote Yes. Most of society has decided racism is bad, so thus it became, and people were taught that racism was bad, so now the vast majority of people aren't racist.
If everybody has decided that racism is so bad, why is almost everybody racist? If everybody was not racist, Australia would not need section 18C of the racial Discrimination Act to punish white people for making true statements about the crime, terrorism, and welfare prone ethnicities who are driving up our crime and welfare dependency rates Anti racism is primarily the sacred cause of the western university educated bureaucratic class, or the wannabees who aspire to join them It has never been popular among the white disadvantaged or working classes, who are the ones who usually are the victims of it's policies. One truism about multiculturalism, is that those who are most in favour of it, are the very same ones most isolated from it's negative consequences. Example, Martha's Vineyard. It is not at all a cause supported by other countries, or cultures overseas. China and Japan in particular are so racist, that they could probably teach Hitler a thing or two about racism. And they don't see anything wrong with that.
Luigi wrote I think you're confusing race with ethnicity again.
"Ethnicity" can be a more specific term than "race", but both words can mean the same thing, and often do.
Luigi wrote All but one of these wars (Sudan) weren't race related. For example, you'd say the Kurds are Middle-Eastern, along with Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, so thus their conflict has nothing to do with race, but ethnicity. Race riots are different, they're the suppression of voices for equality, not some sort of tribalistic battle. Think of the Tulsa Massacre.
What we are talking about is tribal hostility. A "tribe" can be real or metaphorical, and can mean differences in real tribes, race, religion, language, cultural values, and even class. How people define their tribal affiliations, is up to them.
Luigi wrote Those attacks happen everywhere. Hong Kong still is essentially in chaos and it's mostly Asian (>90%). Japan had the Sarin Gas Attack plus an arson+knife attack in October 2021 and it's pretty harsh to foreigners.
The Aum attack was in peaceful monocultural Japan where a criminal religion launched a terrorist attack, because the Japanese Police were so accustomed to Japan being practically crime free, that they did not bother to investigate the Aum. Even when Australia warned them that these people were very dangerous and up to something insidious. Australia and Japan should have learned something. Religious freedom is all well and good. But not to the point of completely ignoring a religion which really does want to destroy the society it inhabits. The two tribes in conflict in Hong Kong are the Hong Kong democrats and the CCP.
Luigi wrote That's not what I said at all. I said I'm skeptical, I only believe things if they are proven to be true.
Yet the fact that human beings are tribal and territorial is so obviously true, and you refuse to recognise it. You don't want to peep over your ideological blinkers and look at what you don't want to see.
Luigi wrote And, no, human beings are not often rational, recent history has proven that beyond a reasonable doubt.
Good work! You finally got something right.
Luigi wrote Well, that's obvious, nobody would argue against that. What's the point you're making here?
One point is, that human beings are not usually rational. We live our lives on automatic, doing either what our culture has ingrained into us, or relying upon our instinctive behaviour which developed along with our neo cortex, tells us to do. One of the most powerful instincts is to be tribal and territorial. Even within western countries cursed with multiculturalism, it is common for cities and even suburbs to divide into ethnic enclaves. The Sydney suburb of Eastwood is divided by a suburban railway line. The Chinese live on the western side of the line, and the Koreans on the east.
The second point is, everybody is racist. Even those claiming to be anti racist support the racist program of Affirmative Action, and are also very racist towards white people. Racism may be a human vice, but it is a vice which everybody has, because humans are tribal and territorial. And like all the vices which everybody indulges in , whether it is really bad is more a matter of context and degree, rather than being an Absolute Evil.

@Nomeclature @Dee @Swolliw @Bogan
At the beginning I told everyone not to get hung up on todays definition of what racism means. The human race is but one race.
But the only one got 'hung up ' was you the title of your debate is racism and you claimed...
You can classify them into sub-races all you want, but that doesnt change anything.
But you're the only 'classifying' as you said ...... "I consider that racism is inherent in not only humans; but in animal as well"
My post is as to why it is hardwired into us, and for that reason we have to understand as to why
Prove all babies are born racist? After that prove all animals are born racist?
. I have shown why and its root causes.
No you haven't you've just asserted it
Humans by nature are tribal and territorial, that is hardwired into us.
Thats a sweeping generalistion man is where he is by learning to cooperate with others
That is the beginning of racism and it began in ancient times.
Where do you get you nut job 'theories ' they get crazier the day
How do animals display racism? My cat let the black postman stroke her without once trying to lynch him

Just find the part where you responded to May's comments, and paste it here. If you did respond, you should have an easy time copying it back here, but if not, that's a doozy.

It's amazing how you never read anyones comments but understandable as you have no valid responses
Equally amazing, how you claim you answer my questions.
I told you 15 times racism is learned behaviour , your assertion is babies are born racist and indeed that there is a racist gene , you know how ridiculous these claims are? Obviously not
. Are you incapable of answering those direct questions?
I've just answered for the 16th time but being the mentally challenged id-ot you are I bet you keep repeating the same lies
So tell us all about these racist animals you say are born racist?

A claim that you do not back up with evidence is literally that: empty. "go find it yourself" - what kind of a joke is that? This is a debate website. I have zero reason to look for anything that supports YOUR claims - and yet I still did look for it.
Your debating style is extremely lazy and disrespectful. People go out of their way and waste a lot of time to comply with your insane demands, and all the reward they get for that is your lazy deflections.
I remember that time when I spent 2 hours reading one of your linked papers and another 30 minutes summarizing it for you in a digestible way - and all you had to say back was, "blablabla, you just do not accept my links". It looks like respect for others' time is not something you care to demonstrate.

He has never respected others' time. I still remember how long it took for him to define what he meant by natural after he said homosexuality wasn't natural, and even then it didn't mean what he thought it meant. Shame that the arguments no longer exist though.

That is exactly like saying that there is only one species of brown bear, they are all the same, and all of the sub species of brown bears does not change that. Actually it does. All brown bears are dangerous but two are particularly dangerous. Grizzly Bears as so dangerous that the Lewis and Clark expedition was warned by the Indians that if they travelled further west, they were in great danger of being attacked by very large brown bears who were extremely aggressive, would attack any man or beast without provocation, and which were extremely difficult to kill or drive away. Clark in his journal agreed wholeheartedly with the Indians warning. The man eating Kodiak bear is so large and dangerous that in parts of Alaska where it resides, it is illegal to be in areas it inhabits without a magnum rifle. African buffaloes are a species. Within that species are four sub species and they are all dangerous. But one of them is really dangerous. The Cape Buffaloe is so dangerous that it is one of the "Big Five" of "Dangerous Game" for Big Game Hunters.
Sub species of humans and animals are different in appearance, and different in intelligence and temperament. Your kumbaya ideology, while touchingly humanitarian, has no basis in scientific fact. Sub species in animals equate precisely with human races in humans. Anyone who claims that the term "race" is not a scientific term has to explain to me how "sub species" and "race" are not identical concepts.
Thank you for repeating my oft repeated premise that human beings are tribal and territorial. That is one reason why I inhabit these debate sites. I like to give ammunition to other debaters who are either like minded, or nearly so, against the forces of wishful thinking ignorance. The term comes from Robert Ardrey's book "The Hunting Hypotheses" which fully explains this aspect of human behaviour. Human beings are tribal because of all the reasons you gave, but you missed one. Where one group of people are identifiably different in appearance from another, the factors you mentioned that create "stranger danger" are exacerbated. Even ordinary brown bears in the USA learned to their cost to keep well away from Grizzly Bears. Although some people would say they are racist for doing so.
