Let me rephrase. Take the thug, the nobody, the jailbird from the street and profile them and see if there is as clear a genesis from then to now. I also note that socioeconomic status has nothing to do with DNA outcome! My only reference is that people who succeed now, regardless of socionomic status, have a tradition of self help (for lack of a better description) and therfore one can trace that seed of success to show how one can rise above ignorance and self pity!

Sure..you say that now after you realized how silly you sounded. Phil caught it right away that were implying that because these were as you put it "educated" blacks that they must be more mixed than blacks from the innercity.

Ms. Broyard, who grew up thinking she was white, says in “Lives” that she believes that her father, who died in 1990, “passed” to protect his children from racism. [She does not feel she has the right to call herself “black” now because it designates not just physicality but lived experience, she tells Professor Gates. By the way,did anyone see the picture they showed of her fathers sister?She was undeniably negroid looking in facial features.

Do you mean seh showed obvious non european traits? Again, your claim was that she looked obviously Negroid. So what characteristics made her negroid. There are other populations in the world that have features that are similar. I haven't seen a picture of her, so unless you post one you will have to be more descriptive.

Phil caught it right away that were implying that because these were as you put it "educated" blacks that they must be more mixed than blacks from the innercity. I said nothing stating Quote: "educated" blacks that they must be more mixed than blacks from the innercity . Education is the tool through which success and personal autonomy is directed to gain economic parity within the societal milieu, nothing more. My limited knowledge and understanding leads me to believe that those who eschew knowledge and education tend to relegate themselves to a 'subculture status' with all its points of contention. Whether it is valid or not, I do not know.

That was ad hominem. Please read The Rules, especially paragraph 2.2. This is a first warning.
