The Myth and Truth of Race - Time For the Other Side to the Story

The Myth and Truth of Race - Time For the Other Side to the Story Sometimes what citizen perceive as truth is in actuality a myth, and a myth brings up questions that cannot be answered, because they should never have to be asked. Religious citizen in particular have asked the question, "Where did black citizen come from?" And we can assume a Racist may ask the same inquire in a more negative context.

One idea that has surfaced comes from Genesis 4:15. After Cain killed Able the Bible says that Cain felt insecure about life and God said, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." and "the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest whatever looking him should kill him." Some have closed that this "mark" was black skin. Others have said that Genesis 9:25; "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of servants he shall be to his brethren." (This was a curse Noah located on Canaan for his father Ham's lack of respect.) It's been recommend that the citizen of Africa can trace their ancestry back to Ham, the apparent windup being that the black race has been in slavery more than any race in human history; therefore, it is closed that this curse was genetically followed into Ham's offspring. This curse however was located on Canaan, not Ham. Canaan's descendants were the Canaanites and they dwelt in what is now contemporary Israel (Genesis 9:15-19). Now let's see the evidence against both these theories. The question, "Where did black citizen come from," is not valid, based on scientific discoveries. In fact the inquire should be, "Where did citizen with blue eyes and blond hair come from?" A inquire like this has an answer, for a inquire like this is not rooted in a myth. Friends', this is an effort to interpret to you the genetic mutation that is the white, blond haired, blue eyed people. This is not a racial issue; this is about bringing to light some facts that may cause only a Racist or maybe a religious extremist to be uncomfortable. This is about truth, and the inquire is not being brought up so as to encourage any kind of hate. Scientists agree that the only race with an eye color other than brown is of Caucasian decent from some where in their blood line. According to new study citizen with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," says Hans Eiberg from the department of Cellular and Molecular medicine at the University of Copenhagen. A particular personel not only caused the mutation of blue eyed people, but the mutation of the Caucasian race. A team of scientists tracked down the genetic mutation which they say occurred in the middle of six thousand and ten thousand years ago. They say the mutation affected the Oca2 gene, which is complicated in the output of the pigment that gives color to our hair, skin and eyes called melanin. "A genetic mutation affecting the Oca2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a 'switch,' which honestly 'turned off' the capability to produce brown eyes," Eiberg says. The allowance of melanin in the iris of ones eyes dilutes brown eyes to blue. Eiberg and his team examined the Dna from mitochondria, the cells vigor making structures, of blue-eyed individuals in various separate countries. Since the genetic material comes from females, it can trace maternal lineages. Segments of ancestral Dna are shuffled over the policy of any generations, and the individuals have varying sequences. The segments that have not been reshuffled are called haplotypes, and if a group of individuals share long haplotypes, this means the sequence arose rather recently in our human ancestry. "What they were able to show is that the citizen who have blue eyes in Denmark, as far as Jordan, these citizen all have this same haplotype, they all have exactly the same gene changes that are all related to this one mutation that makes eyes blue," Hawks said in a telephone interview. "From this we can cease that all blue-eyed individuals are related to the same ancestor," Eiberg said. "They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their Dna." In the January third online edition of the journal Human Genetics Eiberg and his colleagues detailed their study. This genetic switch somehow spread throughout the world, and the mystery still remains on how we come from a time not too long ago when everybody on Earth had brown eyes, and (because of an increased amount of melanin in the body), everybody had darker skin, to the present where twenty to forty percent of the citizen has blue eyes, blond hair and lighter skin tone. Is it not curious that Adolf Hitler was under the impression that blue eyes, blond hair, and white skin were attributes to the ultimate race? This is an curious inquire because scientists have discovered that individuals with lighter iris color have a higher prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (Armd) and an increased risk of Armd progression than those with darker iris color. Also there is an increased risk of unveal melanoma in citizen with blue or gray iris color. The "weakest nations", Hitler said, were those of "impure" or "mongrel races." Well what he determined to be the ultimate race was descended from a genetic mutation no more than ten thousand years ago. If what Hitler says about the weakest nations is true, then this would honestly not apply to those of African decent, for they are as pure blood as it gets. If what some religious citizen claim about a genetic curse or a mark on Cain is true, then this curse or mark would more likely be the white skin and lighter colored eyes, and without a doubt it would not be black skin and brown eyes, since citizen with black skin and brown eyes have always been colse to since human beings walked the Earth. This branch which has just been addressed may now be an issue to some of you, but hopefully some of you who didn't care before, are starting to. We all care about the truth, this is a certainty. If we don't care about the truth, and share the truth with others then we are being selfish, and should be held responsible for the ignorance of those colse to us. There are two sides to every story, and we've heard the one side that was used for years, now the other side has just been presented to you with scientific backing. We care about the kind of truth that is indisputable and not based off of stories told by vicious dictators or religious extremists, this is a truth that honestly can offer definite change to our world and is strongly encouraged to share with others.
