In Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's 1970 "Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy)," she posits that white people are genetically-inferior albinos expelled from Africa by people with darker skin. Does this theory hold any weight?

My friend holds a different set of political beliefs than I do. We both perceive "the other side" as relying on emotion more than facts in their decision-making process. Is there a psychological explanation for this?
