"Race" is a sociological construct , Shodan. It is a social myth create by slave masters in order to make better, more obedient slaves. You KNOW there is absolutely NO SCIENCE behind "race" or "racism". There are no "breeds" of human beings.

Maybe if you repeated yourself a few more times, it would prove what you say. Or not.

There are no "breeds" of human beings. There are "races" of human beings, which reflect the migration patterns and geographic distribution of ancestral groups.

The concept has certainly been abused in the past. That does not mean it doesn't exist.

There is no such thing as race. There are no "breeds" of human beings. Race is an artificial construct invented by SLAVE MASTERS in order to create better, more obedient SLAVES. Dont believe me? Ask Hitler.

As a Catholic/Christian I believe in mankind. The sons and daughters of Adam.

Thoughts?

Using the scientific definition of "race" there is only one human race. However different populations of humans do look slightly different from each other, and this difference is - unhelpfully - also referred to as "race".

The differences are arbitrary and insignificant, but they are there. These differences are useful for identifying people, but so is the fact that each individual looks somewhat different from every other individual.

These "race" differences are sometimes used to identify (or self-identify) different families or tribes, which might be useful in certain circumstances, but can also cause huge problems. But in the end these differences only have the value we give to them. They are only as real as we want them to be.

We would all be better off if our "race" was like our blood group; useful in some circumstances, but otherwise ignored.

Of course it isn't true what you're saying here. What you're promoting is a leftist propaganda that is false.
From herself.

Quote me the word "RACE" or "RACISM" in the Bible...Dont spread the "RACE" lie Vanilla. Its an evil twisted tale thats undermining us all.

 

[imind]

Yes I read that. It doesn't change the description of the differences in the races.

I also read this:

"One’s race is not determined by a single gene or gene cluster, as is, for example, sickle cell anemia. Nor are races marked by important differences in gene frequencies, the rates of appearance of certain gene types. The data compiled by various scientists demonstrates, contrary to popular opinion, that intra-group differences exceed inter-group differences. That is, greater genetic variation exists within the populations typically labeled Black and White than between these populations. This finding refutes the supposition that racial divisions reflect fundamental genetic differences."

you need to work on your reading comprehension...what you have quoted refutes your position. the above is stating that there is no significant difference, genetically, between races. thus, the idea of race is more of a man-made construct than a biological one. i'm not saying it isn't "useful", but biologically speaking, race has very little meaning. there ARE differences between races but insignificant at best and are largely geographically dependent.

Of course it isn't true what you're saying here. What you're promoting is a leftist propaganda that is false.

lol, yes. all science is "leftist propaganda"...

 

[The Ascetic Crusader]

I totally agree, imo...there is no need for race. We are all one and the same, the only reason it was created was to create hierarchy within mankind..and I think Carl Linnaes is the one responsible for that.

BINGO! RACE = A pseudo-scientific taxonomy. The artificial social construct "RACE" was created by slave masters in order to breed better, more obedient slaves. An evil lie whose demonic ember enthralls many a man and woman, securing within them the evil seeds of its perpetuation.

We are ALL sons and daughters of Adam.

In the past what has been accepted as racial determinants is now regarded as cosmetic only. There is one and only one human race --- homo sapiens sapiens. We have even found that we are incredibly close to the Neandertal people and the Denisovian people because we still carry some of their genes.

 

[ewq1938]

Denotes? Quote me the word "RACE" or "RACISM" in the Bible EWQ.

I have proven the concept of race from the bible already. Everyone knows there are different races of people. It's ridiculous for someone to blatantly deny what is obviously true.

You are confusing race and species. Homo sapiens are a species not a race.

Any possible utility or "convenience" associated with the LIE we call RACE is immediately outweighed thousandfold by the injurious damage it perpetrates on the fabric of societies who believe it.

Stop promoting the evil lie that is "RACE" EWQ. You have proven nothing and thus have enlightened no one.

Stop disseminating the "RACE" lie EWQ. It is a malevolent myth originally spun by very evil people.

EXACTLY!

There's an Israeli company who actually did profile analysis (including the use of machine learning analysis) of different people and found that behavior/personality is closely linked with facial features. Since facial features are also associated with race, it's hard to deny that qualities of people are also linked with race.

This is why PC (Political Correctness) is a stuff of fables and unscientific. It doesn't paint the truth about races.

 

[MountainPine]

Perhaps you don't understand the complexity of DNA, which happens to be THE MOST complex substance ever created. Even a .01% difference is a vast one. There is not much difference between a human and an ape either. By your logic, you may as well say that we're all primates and that "human" or "species" is a social construct.

That's the problem. We all not all sons of Adam. Cainites (and therefore Canaanites) are not Adamites. (1 John 3:12). Not only that, but you can't be telling people that they are full of lies without backing it up. You have yet to prove anyone wrong.

I totally agree with the essence of what you are saying, and I hope I that I made that clear in my first reply to this thread. However I am trying to frame my answer in such a way as to defuse any spurious arguments that others might use to disagree with our position.
I work in the medical industry, and sometimes the difference between members of different populations is important. But that's just so medicos can better treat individuals. We sometimes have to acknowledge these differences. However these differences should be unimportant in most endeavours of life.

Besides, Adam was black. So if race is important, then anyone who isn't black should look to the black persons as our model.

 

[greenguzzi]

I grew up in London in the early 1960s, and I remember seeing the first brown and black people come to our great city. I remember being a bit scared of the Africans. I realise now that it was just a child being cautious of something unfamiliar. The idea that I would make such an ignorant mistake as an adult is appalling, but apparently some adults do.

I also remember my first best-friend. His name was Anthony. I do remember that he had brown skin. But at the time the only relevance this had to me is that his last name was "Coffee", so I assumed that his family had that name because of this cool brown-skin family trait. I later learned that "Coffee" is an Irish surname, and that his "Coffee" surname was just an odd coincidence of an "interracial" marriage.

The bottom line is that race is irrelevant; except in the doctor's surgery, and maybe in the addled mind of a few sad and confused individuals.

However, I never forgave Anthony for having two girlfriends when I had none. So maybe race is a thing after all, my blue eyes and blond hair was no competition for Tony...

 

[greenguzzi]

That's the problem. We all not all sons of Adam.

I don't agree with you one iota (assuming that I understand your awful syntax correctly).

However if you are right, then those Cainites and Canaanites who are not the Sons of Adam are not subject to original sin; and therefore are superior to those of us who need the redeeming blood of Christ.

So when you finally make it into the Kingdom Come, you can look forward to being a servant to those Cainites and Canaanites that you dissed in life.
