And just what about this information makes you conclude necessarily that
the racial origins and psychological profile potentials are not from
entirely separate and unrelated areas of the human DNA sequence? There
are approximately 3 billion chemical bas pairs in human DNA. Even
yours. The idea that race or tendencies towards violence or tendencies
towards highly illogical and emotionally based thinking (as in your own
case) may be eventually decoded isn't surprising. That there might be
any correlation between any of them is an idea beyond science fiction.

The following DAFNstatz are *REAL*, not science fiction.
The correlation between crime (violence) & dumb (psychological)
with DAFNz is extremely strong:
************* start - DAFNz disproportionaltely dumb ***************
Smart DAFNz are so rare that elite universities fight over them
to fill the quota slotz. They are more sought after than the bezt
of the IQ-75 football/bazketball playerz. No DAFN payz a dime of
hiz/her own money to attend. Total free ride.
So it is instructive to examine how these academic "SuperDAFNz"
stack up with their white counterparts. Recognize that many of the
whites at elite universities are legacy admissions (less than superstar
academics but daddy/granddaddy are alumni and big donors). Overall,
the whites aren't even the IQ-160 best-of-the-crop if merit were
the only consideration. So the comparison below is the smartest DAFNz
(and Asians for reference) with the not-quite-smartest whites:

21 July 2004 -- Grey matter matters for intellect --
Intelligence linked to size of key brain regions.
Size may matter after all, when it comes to IQ. A brain imaging study
suggests that human intellect is based on the volume of grey matter in
certain brain regions, challenging alternative views about the basis
of intelligence.
Researchers have been trying to pinpoint the biological roots of
intelligence for decades. More than 25 years ago, a weak correlation
was found between IQ and overall brain size. Others have suggested
that level of intelligence is due to the size of the frontal lobe.
Now, however, a common view is that more subtle characteristics are
likely to be involved, such as the speed at which nerve impulses
travel in the brain, or the number of neuronal connections present.
This study challenges that idea, suggesting that the volume of certain
brain regions may have an effect after all.
Richard Haier from the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues
used magnetic resonance imaging to measure the amount of grey matter in
the brains of 47 adults, who also took standard IQ tests.
The researchers divided the brain into sections and imaged the amount of
grey matter in each one. Grey matter is a diffuse network of brain
regions thought to be involved in information processing. It is rich
in nerve cell bodies and looks grey to the naked eye.
They found that people with high IQ scores had significantly more grey
matter in 24 of the regions than people with lower scores. Many of the
areas, which are spread throughout the brain, are known to be related
to memory, attention and language. [......]

These data are for 1997 which is apparently the most recent year
for which the DOJ has the figures fully worked up. The same table
has comparison data for 1991. For 1997, the DAFN figures are a few
percent higher and white figures a few percent lower. Extrapolating
to today, DAFN incarzeration would be approaching 50% of the total
prison population, a shocking and disgusting track record of crime and
violence when you consider DAFNz are only 12% of the total population.

Do you feel that you're enough of an expert to state this
definitively? Or are you merely stating this out of bias?
The idea of germs and atoms were once scoffed at. Magnetism used to be
regarded by some as witchcraft.
