Do you believe all skin comes from.... God, as part of His creation, like I do? Therefore why would anyone, especially believers, insist on looking beyond that or accept anything shallower for an explanation? If we treated each other as PEOPLE, why would skin pigment matter?If identification is so important then why can we not identify people? Lets say we have two races: black and white. Where did the white people come from? When did they become white? Do you want to go by blond hair and blue eyes? Because having blue eyes is a fairly recent "mutation" and involves a fairly select group of people. Blond hair like the blue eyes represents a lack of pigment. Here is a picture of my niece with her brother, what race do you think she is?
The problem is you can be 1/16 black and 15/16 white and in the south they still consider you to be a part of the black race. Black men in America on the average are 60% black and 40% white. Black women in America on the average are 60% white and 40% black. So what race are they? We fought a Civil war over this issue and 620,000 people died.
Nice view you have there.
Humans aren't "gods" however and race does exist.
God sees no gender. He created us physiologically different, but not unequal. Yet humanity treats women as lesser beings. Why? Is it a good thing? Does God condone such a mentality? Shouldn't we more readily dispense with it, as believers, to show the world that God sees no gender? Then why cling tightly to a human term of "race"? We should be leading the way as believers to dispense with "race" as a divisional mindset. It naturally leads to pitting people against each other, not unifying them.I'll give you an example. I'm a male, so a growth in my abdomen that is genetically different to me is probably a problem, but if I was a female it probably wouldn't be a problem.
Here's another example. I'm a white Anglo-Celtic, so if I was found to have sickle-cell anaemia, that would be a worry. But if I was a black-skinned person from sub-Saharan Africa, then it's pretty normal.
So people aren't people. We are all equal, be we ain't all the same.
If races were true as the development of differing species, then interracial procreation would not be possible.
Correct. If the assumption of evolution were true, then in time they would not be able to procreate. Your observation, however, is minor point not worth stating.Why would it not be possible? The only way you can reach that conclusion is by assuming that ‘race’ is the same thing as ‘species’, which is not being said: rather, a race is a subdivision of a species. The fact that procreation between species is not possible does not mean that procreation between races would not be possible either.

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?
RACE is a lie. It is an ARTIFICIAL SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, Jeager. Regardless of whether people use it as a tool or not, it is a lie.
it IS a lie. Dont play into it.
SOCIOLOGICAL construct (MYTH) , Cord. We're not talking manufacturing here.
"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.
EWQ , stop spreading this heinous lie. There is NO SCIENCE behind RACE or RACISM. Your link is misleading. STOP spreading the RACE lie, it is slowly destroying us all. We are ALL SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ADAM. PERIOD.
Thank you for pointing out that important fact iMIND. Like I said, RACE and RACISM are social constructs of absolutely NO VALUE. They are the most heinous lies ever perpetrated on the West.
Denotes? Quote me the word "RACE" or "RACISM" in the Bible EWQ. Like I said, stop spreading lies. RACE and RACISM are evil social constructs of absolutely NO SOCIAL, SCIENTIFIC or RELIGIOUS VALUE.

Repeating something doesn't make it true. You need to actually prove what you are saying.
And Barack Hussein Obama has deliberately used this lie to divide America and then destroy it.RACE is a lie. It is an ARTIFICIAL SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, Jeager. Regardless of whether people use it as a tool or not, it is a lie.
That's what I told him. He has yet to prove anything he's saying. He keeps repeating himself like a broken record. That's one of the things people normally do when they're experiencing cognitive dissonance.
Why is this a featured thread???
Race is obviously more than a social construct but if the person is dead set on refusing to believe that, whatever.
Because it is a hot topic which draws people's attention.
Indeed, it contains the sole thing which is necessary to create a hot topic: stupid left-wing propaganda (though, sometimes, far-right works just as well).
For centuries, people have used the term ‘race’ to refer to a group of people with similar physical characteristics. Now, all of a sudden, it has become politically incorrect to do it. Oh well! Whatever.
