So, what is it about a genetic similarity to black Africans that scares/offends you?

Being genetically related doesnt mean you have to worship the ground they walk on you know, Im very closely related to my Sister, for example, but Ill be damned if I say she's a great person, :)

Not at all. That just shows that you are - unfortunately - clueless about the subject matter.

The fact that we share the same chemicals in our DNA doesn't mean we're bananas. All the chemicals you defecate were originally found in your food, but that doesn't mean you eat shit.

But those Somalian militia are black Africans. So you're not really making much sense... unless you want to claim that certain militia groups are genetically very different from everybody else? And I still don't get what you're offended by. You seem to be saying that a genetic similarity is 'comparing' a person (morally) to another.

Which is odd.

I think a rudimentary education on genetics is in order.

I would. Great-uncle even had to have his ancestry checked to get entrance into the Waffen SS. I have mostly German ancestry back to the 1600s. Only non-German blood is a bit of Hungarian. Which is about just as white as German according to the racist profilers, considering the ethnic slur "Honky" derives from the term African-Americans used to insult Hungarian immigrants.

My. That's a very small gene pool.

The vast majority of my family tree is northern European, but, being an American, there was the inevitable Native woman that couldn't be resisted.

How so? I come from one of the densest populated parts of Europe, the Ruhr and it's surroundings. Near the same amount of people live in my region (State) as Sweden, Denmark and Norway put together. Doesn't sound like a small gene pool to me. Even if. Apparently it didn't cause too much harm since we in this region along with the Dutch are the tallest in Europe, also are second in the highest average IQ per population spread in Europe (Slightly higher in the Dutch side which borders this region). I personally possess a 141 score. But that is somewhat of a sidepoint, since the concept of "IQ" and it's meaning is very controversial and not universally accepted.
