There Are No "Races"

The only way to fight racism is to fight against the very concept of race. Sadly, people seem to not be able to get that through their thick little skulls and insist the solution to fixing this is the continual promotion of the concept of race by stubbornly insisting on trying to fix things along "racial" lines instead of combating the concept of race itself, the only true solution.

As if racism can ever be vanquished as long as we continue to give the concept authenticity. The second most of the world thinks anyone that believes in race is an idiot is the day racism ends.

Next question would be does one have a national geographic sort of variable race frame or a full race exposure which doesn't mean exposure using public transportation for example.

Even if successful toward enlightening humanity that it is one race (everyone is able to breed with each other, so it's scientific..) - humanity will just find another way to divide itself. It's natural for species to war against itself, to keep itself in check and to create an apex upon which it can improve itself for the future.

Struggle is and will always be necessary to the human condition. It's how we improve life... even if we have to create it ourselves.

DNA Tower of Bable. "If the Internet cloud were actually airborne, it would be crashing down right now under the sheer weight of a quintillion bytes of biological data This year, the world’s DNA-sequencing machines are expected to churn out 30,000 entire human genomes, according to estimates in Nature magazine. That is up from 2,700 last year and a few dozen in 2009. Recall that merely a decade ago, before the completion of the Human Genome Project, the number was zero. At this exponential pace, by 2020 it may be feasible—mathematically, at least—to decode the DNA of every member of humanity in a single 12-month stretch."

This is like Herod searching for the savior after he was outwitted by the magicians.

Then,


Genesis 11:1 reveals the race the Lord God made to be sons of men who He saved during the "flood" who wanted to be Gods in heaven because they were ONE. (There's the new age idea of oneness or being One) so The Lord, along with some others, scattered/confused their DNA language but didn't destroy the actual Tower/DNA that made them one.

1. And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. 2. And it happened that as they moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6. And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8. So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

9. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

No need for a racial or sexual divide

what do you mean...divide ?

Acknowledging differences is the way I see it.

In the end...it's about coming to terms with reality. There are differences between sexes...and there are also differences between various races.

Thats a far cry from claiming supremacy on any of them.

So what? What are those differences? We are all the same species - homo sapiens. There may be minor physical differences, but that's where it ends and the *reality* is that we are far more similar than we are different. Your wanting to accept the differences only furthers the unnecessary, hateful divide that exists to deepen the ugly assertion that one "race" is better than the other. So just stop. We are all the same species and we should treat each other as such.

Were the neanderthals a different race? We could reproduce with them, so same species, or not?

"Diversity is our salvation."

Sounds cool. But I would like to know specifically how and why ?

This question you pose to the statement "diversity is our salvation"

To me that is seems simple, by limiting our gene pool we are literally killing ourselves slowly.

To progress and perhaps get off this rock one day all people need to work together regardless of what our genetics display, regardless of what we look and talk like and the color of our skin.

Until there is unity amongst us all we will continually fight each other for petty prizes.

Yea, right, tell that to BLM, or the NAACP, or the Aryan Nation bunch.

Yours is an idea without any effective appllication.

Discrimination still persists. Too bad society can't get around it.

We have seen hybrid vigor in Humans before.....and I am sure we could do as the Ligers have done.....mother nature always finds a way.

No.

They were a homo Sub Species, not a race - 2 completely different things altogether, we could reproduce with them because they came from the same tree and was barely branched off so the genetic differences were not too diverse (unlike Apes that branched off from our tree many hundreds of thousands to million years previously) enough that we could not interbreed, however there DNA is not a match to our own, just extremely close.

I have no comment in this thread other then that, I see people as people.

Same SPECIES not different RACE. TO be a seperate race there can be no ability to cross breed.

The template is clear.People became permanently diverged at some point in our genetic history.....at some early point our genetics were very reactive or were encouraged to become so to our environment and very quick to enact morphing and wholesale change.....like shapeshifting.....and different humans quickly developed different physical traits as per their immediate environments....possibly even being able to change entirely in a lifetime.At some point in time our genetic program was altered and a firewall was put up stopping this type of quick evolutionary adaptation ability.......and we became frozen into specific divergent colors.

This is the most likely scenario IMHO becuse you can find people of all colors who look alike in terms of bone structure ect ect....facial recognition technology should be able to prove this out by now.
