22695, Why Race is Not Real...Scientifically Speaking
Posted by illosopher, Thu Jul-06-00 06:03 AM
I was rapping to my homie whom is white about race. We came to conclusion after some research that race as we no it has no biological basis. The main difference the peoples of the Earth is culture. The idea of race is a new idea several hundred years old in regard to continental origin. The Greeks and Romans never looked as themselves as Europeans much less related themselves to "Barbaric Northerners: with pale skin blond hair." But today it is taken for granted this idea of Europeans Africans, in ancient times you were a Kushite, Kemite, Phoenincian etc. Also everywhere in the world can trace their history to "Black" peoples who are indegenous to land. Whether Asia, Europe, India, the earliest inhabinants of all these places were "Black." In sense we are all African people from an origin standpoint. This makes us all the same, The only thing that makes us different is way of life, this is why Hutus and Tutsis, and Bosnians and Serbs, (people of the same "race" engaged in bloody genocidal struggles). We as humans can find anything to make us diferent religion, ethnicity, race, gender, etc. Race is a social construct created by a western capitalist regime that needs divisiveness to thrive. Are we prepared to tear down this idea of race and create a better tommorrow....
