Race in 2012: Let's Move Beyond It Already!

Race has always been a socially destructive concept. One group believes it is better and superior than another. Communities segregate themselves based on superficial likeness to each other.

But is race a myth, or biological fact? On the surface, are we truly different? Or more alike? According to many studies and research, modern human beings are 99% alike.

What's your thought on race? Is it biologically sound? Or another man-made creation?

Well the fact that humans and certain races evolved 100,000 years apart. It would be some sort of miracle if their were not genetic variation outside of skin color/facial structure. Physical and intellectual differences between races can be traced to cultural reasons as well as genetic. My question is how could someone say something as absurd as race doesn't exist? except, "inside the mind of racists"

@kavadidle Science has proven there aren't any genetic differences. Science has traced the Homo Sapien to Africa. There's nothing absurd about stating what is scientific fact. And how is one a racist if they don't support the belief of race? Silly.

Dude you are black, and will be black for a long long time. So you may as well accept it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It's good that someone has the courage to say this. Race is an invention of man and can be linked to good 'ol Darwinism or Evolution. He wrote that famous book, although shortened to "Origin of Species," the full title contains the shocking phrase, " Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life." There is no separate race but the "human race." We are all of one blood.
