Yeah, I think Rwanda USED to have problems, but they were, um, dealt with somewhat forcefully over a short period of time some years back, and everything's been jake since then...

Things change over time. The US has some vicious time periods in our history too. Most regions do. 🤷‍♀️

You appear to be making the claim that there's some racial proclivity towards violence and criminality associated with high melanin content in the skin. There's no evidence for that. Nor is there a racial proclivity towards genocide in folks with low melanin. There just isn't any correlation between melanin content and behavior.

Culture is a different question. That comes from the values held in high esteem by the adults who raised you. Whether you are a color match to the adults who raised you is completely irrelevant to that process.

No evidence of increased propensity for criminal and violent behavior of blacks (anywhere in the world) compared to other racial and ethnic groups (also anywhere in the world)? You sure you really want to fly under that flag?

Race is a bizarre pseudo scientific biology theory, totally debunked, that groups large numbers of people along irrelevant physical characteristics.

Ethnicity is another word for culture. Obviously some cultures glorify violence, others try to minimize it. Cultures vary.

Stop conflating race and culture.

Your fight is not with me—it's with science. Good luck with that. Disengaging.
