  • Remember I brought this up on one of the Blogtalk radio shows Cim. We created the concept of race. Color doesn't determine race, we are still considered human.

  • @neocreativesoul

    Absolutely.

    This guy thinks we should spearate ourselves into sub-species. It's ridiculous.

  • Good stuff. I don't think it's fair to say that past experiments that assumed certain races inferior would affect current ones, though. Neither do I think racial differences are purely superficial. They are, however, minor. The crux of the issue is actually not how minor the differences are, but the fact that subspecies are as much of a taxonomic construct as races are a social construct. They exist purely to categorize details within a single species.

  • @PoopShoot1102

    Excellent point.

  • some people need the idea of race to feel good, its similar to organized religion.

  • @NubianTribesman

    I agree with you. It indicates a great weakness on their part.

  • If trace is a social consturct then by definition genocide is a social construct. So you have these lunatic-logic Liberals screaming about genocide...the wiping out of a rqace...on the one hand and then doing a complete 180 and saying that race is an illusion! WTF! Liberal liars.

  • Superficial?

    Mongoloids (Especially North Americans) Have a wider jaw than Europeans and Africans. Australoids have the largest brow ridge of any other human group.

    Europeans have lighter skin, to prevent calcium deprivation, and have the most diversity in hair colors.

    Humans have been breeding dogs for a relatively shorter time than the existence of the human species, yet dogs have different intelligence averages among breeds, different sizes and capabilities.

  • @neocreativesoul No, obviously color doesn't determine race. Race determines color and much more, far less superficial things. And of course all races are human, just as a great dane and a toy poodle are both dogs, and a tiger and a house cat are both cats. What's your point?

  • @saaweeet

    LoL. :)
