Professional and academic standards require the embrace of “health equity.”
In Marx and Engels’s understanding, racial disparities emerged under the influence of shared natural and social conditions hardening into heredity and of the mixing of blood. They racialized skin-colour groups, ethnicities, nations and social classes, while endowing them with innate superior and inferior character traits. They regarded race as part of humanity’s natural conditions, upon which the production system rested.

It’s perfectly valid for a trait to be more than 100% heritable
What heritability really is: A fluid statistic that changes whenever society changes.

Turns out a drone filmed the Russians shooting him.
It was captured in the final 10 seconds of this video.
Are the Russian trolls still going to

"In a sample of 413 serial killers operating in the United States from 1945 to mid-2004, it was found that 90 were African American. Relative to the African American proportion of the population across that time period, African Americans were overrepresented in the ranks of serial killers by a factor of about 2."
"However, according to some prominent serial-killer researchers, between 13% and 16% of identified American serial killers operating in the 20th century (a period in which African Americans constituted between 8% and 12.8% of the population) have been African American (Jenkins, 1998; Newton, 1992). A study of 337 serial killers operating since 1825 found that 22% were African American (Hickey, 1997), and a study that included mass and spree murderers with serial killers put the figure at 20% (Levin & Fox, 1985). More recent data for the years 1976 through 1998 found African American representation among murderers with multiple victims (serial, mass, and spree combined) to have increased to 38.2% of all such offenders (Fox & Levin, 2001). African Americans are thus overrepresented among killers having multiple victims by about 3 times relative to their proportion of the population."
