You too, I like your Koishi in a Pringles can avatar.
Appears to be social factors most likely, probably poverty for a simple reason:
Black/black has the highest rate of problems, when comparing white/white and black/white couples, meaning interracial procreation actually improves chances for the babies of black parents. And the only adequate answer for that is going to be a multitude of social factors like lower income, worse access to healthcare, etc.
You read the words but missed the point, the significance of the changes to the genome from you to a distant cousin are as significant to the changes a stranger on the other side of the planet has. All changes in the genome to a person of a completely different phenotype is minor changes of a few separate pieces only. Those changes are both in similar regions and of similar extend whether you're looking at a distant cousin or a stranger in Africa. Yes, the stranger has more changes on average than your distant cousin, but again the changes are still incredibly minor.
Want a fun anecdote? Either my great grandma or my great-great grandma had a black dude as lover and had a baby with him, my resulting grandma only has curly hair as visual indicator of that union, and in the generation of me and my siblings the only indicator of that tryst is hair that curls up in high humidity. Our part of the family tree is otherwise indistinguishable from the rest of the population and only a gene test can prove a negligible amount of deviation from your average German. If the changes were significant they wouldn't be almost completely gone and overridden again by less than a handful of generations.
Two things:
1: The important factor is generations total, humans can't produce generations as fast as wolves / dogs can. We can create new fruit fly species in the matter of years in laboratories due to their entire life-cycle being over in a week. For humans it takes roughly 20-30 years for an entirely new generation of people to be created, for dogs / wolves about one and a half years.
2: Dogs were bred on purpose to encourage certain traits and weren't allowed to breed freely, forcing an artificial selection pressure on the species that has never been on humans. This drastically increased the speed at which genetic drift happened for almost every generation of dogs. Any proto-dogs that were too aggressive or had other undesireable traits in their behavior got killed before they could have pups. This selection pressure and resulting accelerated genetic drift is part of the reason why breeding dogs with wolves is usually harder than breeding either within their own species.
Let's get back on track:
'Ratcliffe said on Fox that before the search warrant materials were made public, he didn’t believe the raid was about classified materials.
“It has to be more than that because the Department of Justice and the FBI have already set a standard that makes it virtually impossible to prosecute a case like that,” he said, pointing to how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s possession of classified documents was handled by the FBI, including then-Director James Comey.
“As people talk about Espionage Act and classified documents and all of that, the standard was set in 2016. Remember the Department of Justice and the FBI took the official position that Hillary Clinton, who was in possession of classified documents … that [being] in possession of that, that wasn’t enough, and that being grossly negligent and being careless, Jim Comey told us, that’s not enough under the Espionage Act. You have to know you’re violating the law,” Ratcliffe said.
“Even if you assume the worst case scenario for President Trump, that there were classified documents in his possession at Mar-a-Lago, that only puts him where Hillary Clinton was. And what the FBI and the Department of Justice would have to show is that he knew the documents were there and he didn’t think they were declassified,” he added.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that all the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago were declassified.
“He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified,” a Trump spokesperson told Just the News. “The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the President of the United States. The idea that some paper-pushing bureaucrat, with classification authority delegated BY THE PRESIDENT, needs to approve of declassification is absurd.”
Others weren’t sure.
“He can’t just wave a wand and say it’s declassified,” Richard Immerman, an assistant deputy director of national intelligence during the Obama administration, told NBC News. “There has to be a formal process. That’s the only way the system can work.”
“I’ve seen thousands of declassified documents,” he added. “They’re all marked ‘declassified’ with the date they were declassified.”'

What's happened? It's a genuine question on mine, I did not get if it was seized when the search took place and people notice just now, or if it was seized just now.

He tweeted or something about having 3 passports, one of which was expired. But there's personal passports and there's other types of passports, so it's not unusual to have more than one type of passport when you do/did national diplomatic stuff. It's a non-story part of the much more interesting story.
'The Department of Justice has opposed the release of the underlying FBI affidavit used to justify last week's raid on Mar-a-Lago because they claim "it would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps," according to Politico's Kyle Cheney.
"The fact that this investigation implicates highly classified materials further underscores the need to protect the integrity of the investigation," the DOJ said in a Monday court filing.
Trump and other Republicans stepped up calls on Sunday for the release of the affidavit after a search warrant released last week indicated that Trump had 11 sets of classified documents at his home - which he told journalist John Solomon were declassified before they were taken out of the White House. The DOJ convinced a judge that they had probable cause to conduct the search due to potential violations of the Espionage Act - which have nothing to do with classification issues.
That said, the DOJ says it intends to unseal additional documents related to the raid.
What's more, the DOJ says the release of the FBI affidavit would "chill future cooperation" by witnesses.

The judges made a shit decision that harms citizens, so that was fine.
Oh fuck right off with that 'heroic Chauvin' bullshit. Like, all the way off. That guy was the REAL thug of the story. I'm tired of thuggish cops killing innocent people and being the same bullies they were in high school. Hopefully Derek gets shanked in prison. Eye for an eye. Even Stevens. Whatever you wanna call it.

Every time UDR posts I'm getting increasingly convinced he's a racist who just wants to see black people suffer.

UltraDolphinRevolution. I've seen him arguing epistemic anti-realist positions like a biological essentialist equation of race with sociological factors, and now this cringe Chauvin nonsense.

I'm sorry your education is so laughably bad even the basics of genetics go above your head. Not only that but you linked two papers and were unable to understand either, too. Take your own advice little snowflake, the world would improve quickly.
