WD ….if you are a doctor and biologist ….Then you need to take some more genetics classes….. there are plenty of mutations that cause XXY and other such mutations in humans. Women can be born with all extetnal appearances as a women but have male gonads on the inside and no internal female organs. There is a plethora of such genetic mutations that exist….. so before you use ignorance as your soap box …. do some research and leave an intelligent answer for others instead of an opinion cited as fact!

Over the next hundred years black people existed mostly in poverty or near poverty. During this period the black family became an enormously strong institution. Strong family bonds build strong culture. A constant stream of examples (albeit on a mostly small scale) showed black people what they could do if given the opportunity. There was black poverty but there was almost no black unemployment ! In World war 2 if you were a American bomber pilot you wanted the “Red Tails” around. If you do not know what that means it is a lack in your education. The relieving forces at the “Battle of the Bulge” were the first time that white and black Americans both carried weapons as members of the same unit in battle in our American history. It is a point of honor that my dad was there.

The people who started “Brown vs School Board” were not a group of people who scared easy. The fight for freedom might have started When Abe issued the Emancipation Proclamation, but it took a long time. There were white people who helped but quite often their support was rather tepid. There were small numbers of actual heroes (a disproportionate number of Jews in their midst) (Freedom Riders) who pitched in but the bulk of the effort (and the bulk of the danger faced) came from the black community. It can truly be said that although it took old Abe to start it, the black community finished it. Blacks took their freedom.

And were promptly betrayed/betrayed themselves. (I know, never start a sentence with a “and’). If the struggle for the vote was Americans and black Americans against a entrenched party system (fairly true), than politicians who promptly made it about ‘welfare’ stabbed that struggle in the back. ‘Welfare’ has done more to destroy the black family than anything that has happened since slavery was ended.

We have hard working and successful black people in our nation. That it can be done does not fit the narrative and must be suppressed. Nurture is that important. The same genetic material that has produced slums and violence have produced outstanding people in every walk of life. This is something that those who desire power (in either political party) must suppress at all cost. Poor people poorly educated are the easiest to lead by the nose.

I apologize for my poorly expressed writing style, I am not glib with words. There is no such thing as Freedom without hard work. “Things” given for free are worth what we paid for them. Things worked for are earned and become a part of us.

Just what does this have to do with the subject at hand ? Not being careful about what we are talking about leads to disaster. I have watched as marriage has been hit hard, step by step by often well meaning people. “Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” I remember when my Elders quorum president brought out the (then new) The Family: A Proclamation to the World, We were going to examine it in detail, to dig the meat out. We came to the realization that it was all meat. There was nothing in it that could be boiled down and condensed any further without losing something elsewhere. Scripture. In the language of today.

I have no desire to throw something in someone’s face. Once the truth is stated it need not be belabored. If my beloved brothers and sisters who feel for whatever reason that they are differently gendered, or gay want to believe in this I will not argue about it. Politeness is in and of itself both a good thing and a necessary precondition to civilization. There is, however no need for me to pretend that I agree with them. A person deciding which restroom he wants to use based on what he feels like today ? No.
