Jean,
I do not question the legitimacy of your source as much as I question the legitimacy of your sources source. The number of scientists murdered for having something to do with this project is the kind of detail you find in urban legends. Details make any story seem more credible.
The premise behind the story is simply false. You can’t target only white people for a deadly virus because there are no clear-cut biological dividing lines between so called Caucasians, Negroes and Mongoloids. According to this grouping of “races” that we grew up with, Indians (from India as well as Native Americans) are Caucasians but nobody would call them white people. And what do you call Australian Aborigines, Native Hawaiians and the people indigenous to South America?
What does “indigenous” mean, anyway. According to our best understanding today of anthropology, all of us are indigenous to Africa and the differences you see in us were shaped by geographical migration and time. It took many centuries for our bodies to evolve in way that best suited us for where we lived. But it is in the nature of some of us to explore and we have always had an amazing ability to adapt very quickly to any environment. Nathan Hinsley, the first explorer to set foot on the North Pole was black. I served with his grandson in Vietnam – where some of the black guys could not take the heat and one redheaded white guy I knew thrived on it.
African-Americans would be particularly vulnerable to a manmade virus designed to kill white people because so many of us have “mixed blood.” Just look at us. Some of us look like more like white people in some respects than many white people do.
Some of us have lighter skins than some white people. Some of us have thinner lips and noses. Some of us have straighter hair. Some of us have blue eyes. Some of us have dark skins, kinky hair and blue eyes. My grandmother’s mother looked like a white woman. My grandmother looked black. My father looked black. To you and me I look like a black guy. But what would I look like to a virus?
On top of that, viruses mutate. What would stop a virus created to make war on white people today from killing yellow people tomorrow – a passionate appeal to racial purity? I don’t think so. –Jasper
