Thanks for the document, your channel is really a gold mine. In my opinion racial prejudice has roots into the natural self preservation instinct - where an animal reacts with fear and hostility towards anything that looks different from the group he grew in or experienced before. Like with every other irrational behaviour education and rationality is really the only path - to the rational mind racism appears for what it is, an irrational behaviour, often used to manipulate people, to make things worse.

[@memphisakan4691]

Plzz racial prejudice is unnatural. Tribalism rather is. Racism thrives on lies. Its not a natural instinct. Racial superiority is a European enlightenment era belief. Still today race science persists in Academia

[@brawlpups3517]

Not a counter thesis but how social groups based on exploitation divide the spoils. All for us, non for you. The war between materialism and spirit. Dr .Kelly saw the structural and propagandistic problem but suicide indicates that he did not reflect sufficiently and maturely on a non material solution. Karmically about his deep association with the most extreme presentation in the counter thesis of Nazism. The war between light and dark. A shadow play of the heart.

I find this interesting that this program got aired on national television in 1958 I don't think the blame falls on anyone race, or nationality for producing criminals.

The Lincoln Cinema shown used to be at 7th street between Campbell and Peralta. There is now a parking lot filled with Burning Man type art projects. I drove through that neighborhood many times from 2005 to 2008. Some of it looked exactly as it does in that film. A few houses were fixed up beautifully in the Bay Area "Painted Lady" style. Where the film begins, at the corner of Wood and Atlantic streets, is now underneath the post office distribution center. Atlantic street no longer exists, buried entirely.

Studying, researching, compiling, writing, and presenting such a work would be devastatingly draining I think and too much for one mind and soul to bear. It really saddens me to know that he came to such an unhappy end and that his family met with such a traumatic disaster and loss. I wonder if there was any backlash from corporations who sponsored this broadcast or from special interest groups, clubs, or the general public? I cannot see there not being any because it’s huge wake up call when too many like to sleep in an apathetic or complacent self induced coma or a deluge of distraction. Perhaps he reasoned that because it would cause great grief of a different kind to his loved ones that the buck stopped with him and he could not go on. Of course i am merely speculating as my being percolates with what it has just encountered in the video and in your very thorough description notes. I think it is so right that you have shared this and I would hope that it is shared far and wide and people would examine themselves and how we have allowed ourselves to be so conditioned to note more differences than similarities in humankind.

Hi there David Hoffman 👋 thanks for sharing the video 📸

[@greyone40]

From the book, "The Badge," by Jack Webb (1958 even!): "From an ethnological point of view, Negro, Mexican, and Anglo-Saxon are unscientific breakdowns; they are fiction. From a police point of view, they are useful fiction and should be used as long as they remain useful." So I am not sure what the man in the film meant with using blood types as identifications. This is useful for a forensic analysis, but for an eyewitness identification (description of the suspect) it is not useful at all. You can't say that you saw a person with blood type "A" running from a crime scene. This is an interesting film, and I hope it doesn't get taken down. It surely supports the argument against prejudice, and that any generalization of any defined group is useless when considering an idividual.

[@rascta]

You're almost there. Yes, it's easier to say you saw someone of ethnicity A running from a crime scene. So easy, in fact, if you've been conditioned to believe that people of ethnicity A are naturally criminals, that you'll automatically look for them, see one, latch onto that, and never notice the actual criminal who's standing right next to you, because he's your ethnicity. Meanwhile person of ethnicity A was running because there's a crime going on and they don't want to be a victim - or worse, accused of it by people who assume their ethnicity must make them the criminal. Ethnicity is no better an indicator of criminality than blood type, which is to say, no good at all and potentially misleading. That's the point of the blood type bit. It's so obviously nonsense, equating it with ethnicity = criminality and even better showing it as superior because it doesn't involve prejudice, just points out how bad the ethnicity assumptions are.

I tend to think the easy proof is offspring viability. Can two slightly different creatures mate, and create a viable and fertile offspring. If the answer is yes, then the two are inherently the same.

[@kgs2280]

That’s an interesting theory when you consider that it has recently been proven that Neanderthals and Humans (homo sapiens) mated and produced offspring, and many people today have been discovered to still have Neanderthal DNA in their ancestry even though they look completely human, as did the Denisovans (early proto-humans in Asia) and Humans. This was discovered because of all the DNA testing going on now. So, would you say, therefore, that humans and Neanderthals are inherently the same? Honestly, I’m not sure what to think, because how could they have mated and produced offspring in the first place? (Well, the mating part I understand, but offspring?). We’re all descended from apes, but apparently something changed in Neanderthals to allow them to produce offspring with humans, which apes can’t do.

[@rascta]

Not so easy when there are laws against miscegenation and/or strong societal pressures causing both groups (and possibly others) to shun a mixed family. Viable or not, people raised under worse conditions are likely to have worse outcomes - not inherently the same. Which sadly reinforces the whole situation. Logically, rationally, you're correct. But reality is much messier and more complicated than pure logic and rationality. Fairness or rightness is only one small piece of the puzzle of life. I've learned that as I've gotten older.

From infancy we have falsehoods subconsciously implanted and then spend decades having life experiences strip them away,and not just about race,but also about faith,money,sex.. What's perplexing is how the view of the Family of Humanity always walks side by side with bigotry,even at this late date when we should know better. The other disturbing matter is the prevalence of scientific illiteracy. When someone sets out to opine on evolution,too often they show that they don't have any grasp of the subject. Race is a very recent development in a very new animal. Now with the massive gains in genetics we trace ethnicity by haplogroups. The word "race" was abandoned many decades ago by anthropologists because of its imprecision and scientific irrelevance.

His suicide is very mysterious. Dr. Kelly truly fell into a hellscape that most people avoid if possible. I view this man's end as a cautionary tell. With wokeness now taking hold identity politics can lead to dangers that plagued this man in the program above. We live in troubling times and the button is pushed on repeat with no end.

Loved this video. Only thing is though how does the blood type thing in the end really help? Cause not everyone knows everyone’s blood type do it wouldn’t really be helpful in trying to identify a suspect by blood type when no one knows the blood type just their appearance. Idk maybe i’m dumb and misunderstood something. Aside from that loved hearing him speak on all these matters and reiterate many points i make when discussing race issues with my family. This man’s ahead of most today sadly, where we can hardly even have a civil discussion with anyone about anything controversial and hence why everyone’s becoming less and less understanding and dumber

Fbi Criminal statistics they put out each year, you probably have to read between the lines a bit more than a few decades ago but there is definitely some different info in there

[@mattelliottmusic]

It's less about race and more about poverty, poverty that has gone on for generations. You can't just look at a single statistic in isolation and draw a conclusion from it. If you had any kind of qualification in statistics or science, you'd know this.

[@trlyons761]

The whole video was interesting, except that last part about blood type. Lol I mean how would blood type identify a person who is wanted to the public or even the police until after you capture them? The simple fact is that when trying to identify a suspect you can tell by looking and identifying a suspect by a description. He said some other crazy stuff after bringing up blood tests but still an interesting watch.

Here is a quote from one of the most fundamental founders of America, Benjamin Franklin: "And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply’d and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors [Germans] be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion. Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionally very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind."

Something I learned recently a very interesting scientific fact: that non African humans have a few percent of Neanderthal and denisovan genes. These genes are more conserved in skin and hair. The following is conjecture: non african skin and hair is more 'primitive'.

@@jc918a-32 to neanderthals? They had bigger brains but that doesn't matter as far as intelligence, which I take to be your inference. In fact, studies on avian intelligence have shown that brain size is of very little import when it comes to intelligence, the way the brain is wired, the amount of folds, and the outside factors of proper sleep, nutrition, and training (education) are the more attributable factors.
