Do the following Latin and Legal Terms for animals also apply to homo sapiens?

1. MANSUETAE NATURAE are those gentle or tame by nature, such as sheep or cows. And races which have created earth's oldest, safest and most prosperous civilzations?
2. FEROE NATURAE are those which still retain their wild nature. If genes are the reason savage races commit ten times more murder, rape and theft than average Americans, and have never manifested any civilization whatsoever, why confine them to prison cages instead of to their own homelands?
3. DOMITAE are those which have been tamed by man; domestic.

How well can a savage race (eg. races with ten times higher rates of murder, rape, theft and other crimes) be tamed to obey the laws of civilization?

WHAT IS RACISM?

Is a racist a person who believes that genes and instincts are as responsible as environment for human behavior?

If a RACIST is a person whose behavior, feelings (not just hate), thoughts and actions, etc. are influenced by the ancestry of other people and other forms of life, have you ever known any of the following kinds of RACISTS?

• A MOTHER or FATHER who loves her/his own children more than others' children?
• A GENEALOGIST who is more interested in her/his own kinfolks than others' families?
• A FARMER who prefers the seed of plants and animals which benefit humanity most, and excludes weeds from his garden?
• Members of a civilized RACE that attempt to exclude savage races from their neighborhoods, schools, homelands, gene pool, etc.?
• All people with IMMUNE SYSTEMS and other biological defense mechanisms that attempt to exclude alien organisms?
• WORSHIPPERS of a god (how can a civilized conscience sanely worship such a god?) who
  1. came to save the "lost sheep of Israel" and them alone, and referred to non-Jews as DOGS (Matthew 15.24-27)?
  2. chose Hebrews to be his special people above all others (Deuteronomy 7.6)?
  3. forbade Jews to marry, or to seek the welfare or prosperity of, or to be ruled by, non - Jews (Ezra 9.12 and Deuteronomy 18.15)?
  4. ordered Jews to devour all other nations (Deuteronomy 7.16)?
  5. ordered Jews to exterminate and dispossess the nations of Canaan (Deuteronomy 7.1)? Are Gentiles excluded from the protections of the "ten commandments" (Deuteronomy 5.16), and are Germanic and other Aryan nations of northern Europe, etc. to be exterminated because they are of Hittite ancestry?
  6. put so much fear into Gentiles that they quake and tremble if they so much as hear a rumour of Jews (Deuteronomy 2.25)?
