IanC, I wasn't going to reveal your identity, but you left me no choice. I've been reading your recent posts and comparing them to old posts written by Matthew. The same grammatical mistakes, miss spelled words, extreme obsession with a perceived inferiority of Blacks, among other things, leads the observant reader to he conclusion that your alter ego is none other than our resident racist, Matthew.we may be using different definitions for the word trait. I am looking at behavioral traits rather than personality traits. long term family cohesion rather than gregariousness for example.
I don't see much of a distinction. Nature v. Nurture? Damn hard to pinpoint which has the most impact, though, if pressed, I pick Locke's theory of tabula rasa.
black children adopted into white middle class homes get a better start when they are young but that bonus dwindles as the child gets older and starts to chose his own environment. by the time that child is a adult they resemble their birth parents both physically and mentally and behaviourally, and do not resemble their adoptive parents at all.
nature beats out nurture almost every time. which is something that any parent with more than one child could tell you.
