So you subscribe to a "genetic" explanation to "race"? Even if the black slave breeding hypothesis is to be accepted do you think the 'breeding' was extensive enough and went on for long enough to fundamentally affect physical differences among groups?

I've always been afraid of 'genetic' explanations to cultural/political/social issues since cultural perception shapes pretty much everything we interpret as 'reality.'

Sowell's written a ton of stuff about this.
