That sounds lovely, but I don't see how it solves any of the issues currently facing black people. Folks have been saying "we're all human" for decades now.

also, if race had "no basis in biology", how do you explain the re-occurence of racial traits among certain groups? if your position was correct, two randomly selected "black" parents would be as likely to have a baby with blond hair and blue eyes as two randomly selected "white" parents. clearly, there is *some* biological basis for race division.
