My name is not Braun.  I am not reiterating or elaborating on what Mr. Braun
may or may not have written, I am responding to what you have written.  Since
the discipline of anthropology emerged some centuries *after* the 
colonisation of North America, there is and can be no "early anthropological
literature" based on ethnographic observation which bears on this issue.

What the Europeans did is absolutely relevant to understanding the 
context and, hence, the motives and reliability, of first hand accounts 
such as the one you cited.

Do you remember Franz Boas?  Do you remember when he established the 
department of anthropology at Columbia University?  Do you know enough 
North American history to know that by time anthropologists were doing 
ethnographic research on this continent, that native societies had 
already been radically transformed and marginalised?  Many of the 
articles in the Handbook volumes are based on ethnohistorical research.  
The dates for the volumes' publication varies, but most came out in the 
1980s.

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension, Alan?  Nowhere did I 
say that the European colonisation of the Americas was a unique 
historical event, or that Europeans did anything here that had not 
previously been done in other parts of the world and has not subsequently 
been done elsewhere.  I was talking about the importance of historical 
context in interpreting the writings of those colonists.

You do seem to blithely ignore the fact that in order to settle land, 
though, Europeans had to take it away from the natives who already 
occupied it.  That is a pretty important detail.  Nothing unique about 
it, but let's not pretend it didn't happen.

Are you anti-immigrationist, Alan?  I find it odd that you think that 
someone showing up in a boat has "as good a claim to the land as" people 
who had been living on it for ten or fifteen thousand years.

I guess that all depends on whether you think prior occupation gives 
someone a better claim.  I guess you believe in eviction and squatters' 
rights.

Not at all, Colin.  Because the observations of early settlers involved 
subjects who are of anthropological interest does not make the observers 
themselves anthropologists.  Anthropologists are people who are trained 
in the methods and theory of anthropology.  The discipline is defined by 
more than the scope of its subject matter.

Excuse me, but are you not one of the people here who is constantly 
harping about how "politically correct" people are blinded by their 
political ideologies, and how this colours their perceptions?  Are you 
about to now try to argue that this only began in the last decade or two 
when the phrase "politically correct" became popular?  Dehumanising 
rhetoric is always a part of conquest and colonisation, Sr. Comecola.

Ethnohistory is the interpretation of documents like Smith's by 
anthropologists, using anthropological and historical methods, and 
anthropological concepts.  Just like history is the interpretation of 
documents like census records by historians using historical methods and 
concepts.  Smith was no more an anthropologist (or ethnohistorian) than 
someone taking a census in 1580 in Mexico was a historian.

And credibility, when citing reviews of Goldhagen's book as just one

but on whether they say what you want them to say, Doc?

By the way, I think that Yo Yo Ma is a better cellist than Ofra Harnoy.

You are putting words into my mouth, since I said nothing about human 
biologists being unable to *discern* variation among humans.  It is quite 
another matter, however, to use certain clearly visible characteristics 
to subdivide humans into groups which, according to current biological 
theory, imply distinct evolutionary histories for significant periods of 
time.  This is the significance of "subspecies" designations, and you can 
see exactly the same sorts of debates among ornithologists, who are 
divided about whether there are 22 subspecies of junko, or 2.

It seems to me that you are confusing a "working definition" with a 
colloquial understanding that fails to understand the biological 
significance of the term.

Well, in fact the vast majority of human biologists would side against

If you believe so sincerely that one should never call another except by 
the name they themselves prefer, then why do you not extend the same 
courtesy to others, Mr. McKinstry?  "Sr. Comecola" is in fact the name 
you choose to go by to mask your true identity, but merely translated 
into another language.

But anthropologists do more than merely record blindly that which they 
see.  There is thing called "methodology", you know.  Had Smith been an 
anthropologist he would have thought about the particular circumstances 
in which the activities he was observing took place.  He was no more an 
anthropologist than I would be an astronomer if I decided to go outside 
and gaze and the stars and write about them.

And I would argue that every era has its "politically correct" ideology, 
even though it only came to be called that very recently.  The prevailing 
ideology in early colonial times is rather like your present one, Colin.  
I guess you're just a good colonialist at heart.

Are you saying that Smith was Catholic?  Are you aware that many of the 
earliest settlers in North America were not?  A papal decree would not 
have affected their beliefs.  The need for land, however, did.

He disappeared not long before you made your appearance, no?  It's odd, 
isn't it, that you claim to have been posting in the white-power 
newsgroups for some time, and yet your userid only appeared in March or 
so of 1996.

Do you know for a fact that ethnohistorians have ignored his writing?  Or 
are you merely making this up?  I am not familiar with the ethnohistory 
of the eastern US, but I know that ethnohistorians of southern Ontario 
and of Mexico use every available scrap of written documentation.  In 
southern Ontario, the journals of Champlain and Cartier, the Jesuit 
relations, and all very early documents are central to ethnohistorical 
studies of the early contact/conquest period.  So before you dismiss work 
with which you apparently have zero familiarity, Colin, you ought to lift 
a finger to be sure you aren't making yet more a fool of yourself.

You appear to be confusing *physiological* characteristics with *physical*

It seems that you wish scientific affirmation of what are nothing more 
than "folk categories", what you call "commonly accepted notions of 
race".  And that you wish scientists to use whatever characteristics are 
necessary to replicate those categories, however meaningless, 
scientifically, the resulting categories.  Do you realise how silly this 
is?

It suggests that the price of fish is not independent of surrounding

their land taken away from them cannot be independent of those historical
facts and colonial acts, Colin.

Ah, you're correct, Nizkor only started archiving your current userid in March
of 1996.  I was reading some posts by a fellow named Colin McKinstry, also
a New Zealander, also with a penchant for ancient Egypt and, astonishingly,
an apparent B.Sc. with a grasp of written English as appallingly poor as yours.
He stopped posting right around the time you began.  Too bad, you've missed
out on a kindred spirit, or do you know Colin McKinstry?  He may even be at
your University.  You appear to have an awful lot in common.

Well, I don't know what language "comprehende" belongs to.  It isn't French or
Spanish, I'm pretty sure it isn't Italian.  Is it Portuguese?  You use it,
after all.

Strange, that.  Colin McKinstry used to use "comprehend" in much the same way.

Hmmm, I rather liked that t-shirt.  Sure fit well, although it was a

designer.  We're discussing a "Mommy Professor" model for next year's
event.

Was the pesto pizza the one you had last time?  It sure was excellent.
I would substitute something else for the calamari, and finish with
an espresso.  And if the New Year's tiramisu doesn't fade away soon,
I might have to forego the cheesecake...  Couldn't find a XXXXL...

But of course in your politics, membership in society itself is not
based on each individual's actions, but instead on the colour of their
skin.  More mature, indeed.

Either you don't understand the question, or your answer is "yes".  Is this
your idea of great freedom, then, Colin?  A state in which one does not have
religious freedom, but must adhere to the religious doctrine of those in power?

You are absolutely wrong, Richard.  Why not try an example that better
suits the scientific *facts*, like the differences between black poodles
and white poodles?

Alas, Richard, you have demonstrated not only that you don't know beans

Canada has no official religion, if by this phrase you mean a particular
religion that is associated with the state.  My impression is that you
are defining the phrase in some other way, however.

Jewry is not a religion.  In Europe, at various times, many Christian
religious sects were persecuted for their beliefs.  Many Catholics came
to North America to escape religious persecution.

In the first sentence in this post (your words), you ask "how would you describe
the *primary* religion of the U.S. or Canada..." (emphasis added).  Are you
using the word "primary" to mean "most prevalent"?  If so, would you please
explain how this equates with "official" which, in my book, has a quite
different meaning?  If you are not using the word "primary" to mean "most
prevalent" in this context, would you kindly explain what it is intended
to mean here?  Then you might go on to explain what describing Australia,
Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. as western nations has to do with your
assertion in an earlier post that Canada and the U.S. are officially 
protestant Christian countries.

If by "us" you mean "white nationalists", I hardly find it surprising that
members of any of the groups who would be unceremoniously booted out of their
homes take umbrage with your politics.  Many of them, or their familiies, have
been there before, after all.  Your "pebble" would include forced deportation,
after all, Richard, for the "crime" of being Jewish.  You poor thing, having
people get all upset at you for suggesting such a thing...

Are you going to explain what you actually meant by the assertion, Colin,
or are you going to attempt to evade your error once again, dodging with
far less grace than the Twinkletoes you put in me in mind of?  I'm not
interested in playing guessing games with someone whose chronological, if
not mental, age has two digits.  You do qualify, don't you, Colin?  Your
chronological age *is* greater than or equal to 10, is it not?

There is "knowing" absolutely with certainty, and then there is sensing
that something may be true, based on a convergence of weak circumstantial
evidence.  I am not absolutely certain that you and Colin McKinstry are 
one in the same, but the coincidences strike me as highly suggestive.

Isn't that nice.

Read Mein Kampf, for the words of one.

Oh dear, I see you're not a fan of the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes" 
(perhaps you never got it in New Zealand).  The phrase "supreme dictator 
of the universe" comes from that strip, and arose from arguments between 
Calvin (and extremely bratty, spoiled 6 year old) and Hobbes (his toy 
tiger) over which of them would rule the roost, when they were playing in 
their clubhouse.  I'm sorry the joke went over your head.

My "beliefs" about how species are defined?

Would you please outline the weight and size ranges that are exclusive to each 
of the "racial groups" you identify.

More detail, please.

Please explain the specific characteristics of skeletal structure that are
distinctive among the various "racial groups" you identify, and point me to
some convincing evidence that none of these is environmentally determined.

All, you've been reading Rushton.

Which dimensions?  What are the ranges that distinguish the different "racial

Well, I've asked a whole bunch of human biologists, and what they tell me
is that there is no constellation of *unique* morphological characteristics
that distinguish all members of one so-called "race" from the others.
And since races are supposedly equivalent to subspecies, this is really
problematic.

But you are, of course, not talking about "extinction", but rather about
loss of variation.  Precisely the kind of thing that the eugenics programme
you are outlining in another thread is intended to accomplish - the elimination
of certain variations, even if it means throwing apparently "white" folks' 
kids out or forcibly sterilising them.
