Mengele lives and thrives like a ghost in the machine of big Pharma!

How can the phenotypic heterogeneity obviously evident among black folk in America ever get lumped into a common normalizing pool? These fools expect us to believe that the normalized variations evident among say inuit, swedes, bushmen, or aboriginals have somehow been identified among us? Preposterous on the face of it.

As a marketing and brand management tool, it's pure insidious genius, but as a scientific method of targetting structuro-functional specificity - it's pure nonsense..., unless of course, somebody has arbitrarily extended and applied the terms of the pernicious social construct into the invisible realm of the genome.

We've already discussed this.

Please give these devils some indigestible food for thought P6.

I don't know what they'll say yet. May not be necessary.

Interesting organization,by the way. There's another event, The AIDS Epidemic in Africa: How the Africans See It, coming up that I may check out too.
