There is no scientific basis for race and it merely a social construct, but I still believe that Race and Ethnicity are useful descriptive catergories. Less say race has too Components,

1. How you perceive yourself.
2. How others peceive you.

If you perceive yourself as Black, and others perceive you as Black, then its probably safe to say your Black.

The problem occurs when people don't meet this criteria of Race. and as the world gets more "intermingled" people ar going to meet this criteria less and less.

But for now if you were going to pick me up from the airport and you'd never seen me before. I'm going to be sure to mention that i'm Black, because I gaurantee you'll find that bit of info useful. And if I am going out to a club, I'm going to ask "is it a black club? Do they play Black Music" becuase its still useful to know.


I guess though when I bring up "Black Music" I'm preparing to start up a whole nother discussion.
