Bill Nye breaks down the science of Racism

[nellj]

Bill Nye “The Science Guy” explained that racism shouldn’t actually exist – at least, according to science.

The popular scientist appeared Monday on “The Nightly Show,” where Larry Wilmore hosted Nye to discuss the science of racism with comedians Mike Yard and Ricky Velez.

Wilmore asked if racism was unique to humans or if other animals displayed racial prejudice.

“Tribalism exists in the animal kingdom, and this is what I think is at the base of this,” Nye said.

He said skin color, which forms the basis of human racial identity, was based on exposure to ultraviolet light, vitamin D production, and the breakdown of folic acid.

Nye then sketched out a broad history of human migration from their origins in East Africa, across the Bering Strait into Alaska – which he identified as Sarah Palin’s future home.

“I feel like racism is about to start pretty soon,” Wilmore said, hoping to spur Nye to a quicker conclusion.

“It started because you’ve got these tribes, and you’ve got different skin color as a result of ultraviolet light,” Nye said.

But he said the differences were purely superficial.

“If a guy from Norway – one of my people – has an interaction – can we say interaction on television? – with a woman from Zimbabwe, all you’re going to get is a human,” Nye said. “You’re not going to get some other new thing. We’re all the same, from a scientific standpoint. There’s no such thing as race — but there is such a thing as tribalism.”

Wilmore looked at the two comedians to see if they had been following the explanation.

“You guys get this, right?” Wilmore said. “If a guy from Norway has sex with an African woman, racism is over.”

Nye said he actually wasn’t too far off the mark.

“If I can split the meaning, the semantic of race versus tribe, if you’ll give me that – then, yeah,” Nye said.

When white people break shit down, to the mothafucking molecular level. Awe shit.

No body educates like a white man.

He got any other videos like this? Dr. UMAR has to see this.

Racism is like tribalism. That shit blew my mind. Like, in africa, there's tribes And shit. So, even when they practice racism, it's just a new skool way of saying and paying homage to Africa and their roots.

I ain't ever thought of racism like that before. Aint No body ever broke it down like that around here.

Any other White man using a national platform to admit what we already know and has been discussed?

dude your comment "No body educates like a white man." is bullshit. You know who would said the same thing Bill said........

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

Yea well ask him,

Genetically which tribe is more dominant...

and you will get the REAL reason for racism..


JEALOUSY because one can harness ultra violet light,

and one rejects it...


LOL @

Nobody educates like the white man, nobody is more

deceptive like the white man...

you really said a lot about yourself with that comment boy..

They also did something like this on that show THROUGH THE WORMHOLE that Morgan Freeman hosts.

I hadn't watched it yet but it's on my radar. Here's a preview:



Toni Morrison was similar in her breakdown of this subject also:

I'm just here so I don't get fined

Too many of us enjoy listening to white people say things We have already sTated. It's like we get a thrill out of it.

 

[wadusay]

Mr. Neely Fuller Jr. and Dr. Frances Cress-Wellsing breaks Racism/White Supremacy down much better than Mr. Nye.

They also provide possible solutions for victims of it.

One thing I notice what many (if not all) white people will do is point the finger at places, ideas, events, and things instead of pointing out "who" exactly is "practicing" racism.

That's white supremacist code: white people don't snitch on white people who practice racism/white supremacy.

I think Jay is being Facetious folks!!!

The so called white man is really a hybrid albino. Albinos can only produce other albinos. White man's ancestral home is really central Asia. He is not native to North West Europe. Here are some Albino Indians.



People with white skin are not cold adapted. Cold adapted humans have melanin.

And the white man has taught you to love him first. you might be a fuckin coon!

Albino my ass. The white man is the mullickin devil!
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has been teaching us this since 1930!

This is actual fact, not a fairy tale. Whites come from albinos. The human race has color. From light yellow all the way to blue black.

 

[lazarus]

Why is this not common sense by now? Race is a man made construct from genetic mutations. Who didn't know that?

Humans are a species not a race.

 

[ankhheru]

Humans are a species not a race.

Now we are getting somewhere.

The question next should be what do you call a species that mixed with another?

Interesting...

Kinda glosses over the whole human/neanderthal thing, but interesting nonetheless.

That would be a hybrid but all humans are the same species. You are saying if someone's fucked a cow and its offspring lived

RACE IS NOT REAL​

The idea and classification of race was created by a German scientist named Johan Blumenblach in the 1700's. Genetically (DNA) there is no difference between human beings with different skin colors.

Even our hair is no different – it's just curly as the result of growing through tighter follicles. The same effect can be demonstrated when pulling a ribbon through scissors (you may have done this at school). Pull the ribbon through the scissor blades, the ribbon curls up. The tighter you close the scissors, the tighter the curl. The purpose of this is to most likely repel moisture (water, sweat, etc. typically beads up when in contact with our hair). Having a thick heavy greasy head of dirty hair probably isn't useful living in one of the hottest places on earth.

Classifying the human species is ok. While we are all human, genetically and biologically there are difference between humans across the world. Our bodies react to the environment, which is interesting in studying virus. Culturally there are differences. It necessary to understand the human and the elements of the world.

Now, classifying humans to justify your dominance over them is wrong.

Please explain the context of this. I don't want to take it literal good brother.

No I am saying if a Homo (Genus) Sapiens (species) fucks a Neanderthal (Species), Denisova (Species), etc. and creates offspring then that offspring is a hybrid/sub species.
