Black Like Me


So, remember my "Race Row' post? Well, apparently, he opened a can of worms he should have left closed.

James D. Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA and winner of the Nobel prize, raised a storm recently when a British newspaper quoted him saying that black Africans are not as intelligent as whites. But his own brilliant DNA seems to blur the lines.

A new analysis of Dr. Watson’s genome shows that he has 16 times the number of genes considered to be of African origin than the average white European does — about the same amount of African DNA that would show up if one great-grandparent were African, said Kari Stefansson, the chief executive of deCODE Genetics of Iceland, which did the analysis.

And you know if you have one drop of black blood then you are all the way black. How you like them apples? LOL. I love when ignorance is exposed.
