With your opening statement you prove exactly what Pastor Manning was saying. So you disagree with what he says, your reaction is too immediately solve the problem with violence! Boy you have come a long way.
Stop hiding behind the slavery issue as well. Do you think your race is the only one too have been enslaved? What can we do to ever make it up to you? Not a damn thing!! You choose to hold on to your past. You choose to embrace anger and resentment. I know slavery was a savage crime against you, but you can decide if that will remain a part of your history or be the absolute thing that defines you.
If you choose the later then you are still enslaved to your own anger, resentment and sense of entitlement. That attitude will eat you alive and get you nowhere. It is time to take responsibility for your own life and stop blaming others and playing the race card.

I have read plenty, that is why I know they haven’t settled the questions yet. People who scuff off people who talk about such things are being closed minded.
On the melanin comment. They lost the melanin because they went north. They didn’t go north because they lost the melanin.
It’s called natural selection.

Natural selection is a driving vector in regards to size, pigmentation, and other traits.
The question that infuriates people is the “other traits” part.

There are many things that are currently being contested. But the majority of the population tries to ignore them, and say that anyone that brings up the subject is “uneducated and stupid” to even think about such stuff. They do that because the idea of discussing such concepts makes them uneasy. So they try to burry them.
That is caused by the indoctrinating of the population with multiculturalism. They fear being labeled a “racist”.
That is one thing I think is funny. They want to tell us that there is no black and white, that everything is a shade of gray. Yet, when we try to discuss genetic variation and it’s affect on the social environment, then it instantly becomes “black and white” If you talk about it at all, you are bad, if you don’t, you are good.
I have learned to ignore such criticisms because I have learned that the criticism reflects more on the insecurity of the person making the criticism than it does on the wrongness of any comment I may have made.
I'll use your second paragraph to emphasize why you should "do the knowledge" as Afrikan-American slang says.
Step back from Wiki and the history manuals of the victors of a war on "hue-mans" and answer yourself this: Has any other race lost its melanin because they moved North. I've lived in Alaska and associated with the Aletuian (sp) or Eskimo's and they haven't lost theirs.
Secondly, I'll address why some broad generalizations are labeled as racism. Statements such as "black people have lower IQ's" can easily be debunked by placing a intact black family in a middle class neighborhood and structure. The black children upon receiving the same nurturing and support as white kids will be equal to them academically. So that will foil the argument that "black people can't do it".
What it does is leave room for assumptions as to "why" black people aren't achieving such now. One of the answers that can be stricken from the possibilities is "black people aren't genetically capable".edit on 27-4-2011 by DZAG Wright because: fix it upedit on 27-4-2011 by DZAG Wright because: (no reason given)

If anything is wrong with black Americans and poor black Haitians it is the legacy of slavery and a tradition of poverty and ignorance, not confined to them, but because of their experience in this materialistic western hypocritical culture that nearly destroyed them physically, and has tried to destroy them mentally, spiritually, and psychologically.
This maniac house Negro and fool is so stupid he doesn’t realize while condemning the whole black race he condemns himself.
As for the wonderful Japanese, this same race has a record in World War II perhaps worse than the Germans. They murdered millions of Chinese, Koreans, Philippines and Americans.
This abysmal ignoramus lacks any understanding of human nature, psychology, sociology, history, and has no ability to understand the nuances of realty.
He looks at things only on the surface and is the typical narrow minded ignoramus that fuels the loathsome culture that is America!
Those who support this savage self-hating abominable knave are racist and ignorant, and should know better.

But things aren't always what they ought to be. That is the case with Eskimos and other inhabitants of northern Alaska and northern Canada. "Looking at Alaska, one would think that the native people should be pale as ghosts," Jablonski says. One of the reasons they're not is that these populations have not lived in the region very long in terms of geological time. But more importantly, their traditional diet is rich in fish and other seafood. They've consumed huge doses of vitamin D, so they haven't had to undergo the same reduction in pigmentation that would otherwise be required at such high latitudes. "What's really interesting is that if these people don't eat their aboriginal diets of fish and marine mammals, they suffer tremendously high rates of vitamin D-deficiency diseases such as rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults," Jablonski says.
A similar problem occurs when dark-skinned people move to northern latitudes. "For years people couldn't understand why dark Indians and Pakistanis living in northern England suffered from vitamin D-deficiency diseases," Jablonski says. "Now it has become clear that the natural sunscreen in their skins wouldn't allow them to synthesize enough vitamin D from the sunlight." Cultural factors exacerbated the problem, such as the wearing of veils by some Muslim women. "It's a real detective story," she adds.

The man is calling to his own to be above the punks and looters. American blacks seem to think they are owed and that their actions are quantified. Quantified by being owed two mules and an acre. Manning is calling for being upright citizens and to get past the slavery. He is right.
He made the most parallel comment on the Japanese being peaceful. Where as the folks in Katrina looted stores for material things.
The guy is sound.

If you would read first, before reacting, you would have seen I already posted a link to the answer to your question.

And by acting the way they are now with the thug mentality sure isn't helping them be accepted either, by go with it. A couple of quick observations, first it's Africa.....might look at that, second hyphenated Americans of any sort are just silly, 3rd taking Rev Wrights name and throwing some DZAG bs in front of it is just juvenile, if you want to be accepted and taken for real chill out.

The information provided doesn't sufficiently explain why caucasians would have lost their melanin. He/She does offer a entertaining hypothesis though. Is the person saying that eating seafood would assist in white people regaining their melanin? Is it also alluding to Europeans didn't know what seafood was?
Racial profiling can be broadly defined as a practice in law enforcement based on the belief that a person's category membership (e.g., ethnicity, national origin) functions as an indicator of criminal propensity. In my previous posts on the topic, "why moral education has not reduced racial profiling (1) & (2)," I examined some cognitive root of the biased practice. The current discussion explores another type of cognitive distortions that supports racial profiling-a misunderstanding and misapplication of probability/statistics.
One of the most typical justifications that officers use for racial profiling involves the statement that "it is true that certain ‘groups' are more like to commit offenses or infractions than the others." I think that this statement suggests the confusion about basic probability and statistics concerning criminal behavior. This confusion consists of two cognitive errors:
1) unawareness of the distinction between the relative frequency and the absolute frequency regarding a particular crime-prone attribute, and
2) ignorance about the multiplication rule of probability for criminal behavior. Namely, failure to recognize that criminal behavior is determined by the interaction of multiple variables or factors.
Additionally, the official crime statistics may be problematic. According to FBI's Uniform crime report (2007) on arrest by race, of all adults and juveniles arrested nationwide in 2007, 69.7 percent were whites, 28.2 percent were blacks, 1.3% were American Indians or Alaska Natives, and 0.8 were Asians or Pacific Islanders. Although the sum is 100%, there is a problem: The arrest data on Hispanic Americans, which are 15% of the U.S. population, are conspicuously missing. Someone may argue that Hispanic populations are not really a different race and their arrest data were distributed among the four groups above (are they really four "different" races)? If it is the case, it only shows the lack of precision in the crime statistics.
In short, racial profiling is biased, because:
1) It is based on misunderstanding the scientific theory of probability.
2) It contradicts the mission of the justice system, which has two purposes: First, to punish the guilty, and second, to protect the innocent. Racial profiling has violated the principle of protecting innocent individuals by turning thousands of innocent people across the country into the victims.
3) It creates a self fulfilling prophecy, because when officers only focus on certain categories of individuals (yes, they will catch some criminals among them), they will also bypass many criminals about whom they do not do profiling.
