THIS IS SILLY- that problem IS the very issue that has faced Black people since the beginning of colonialism and racist theory. Its not just the oppression of race ideology it is that the ideology itself encourages such oppression.

Folks may have been saying "we're all human" but as long as we continue to allow people to say they are "white" and as long as we allow the government to recognize them as such then they are quite simply saying that we are all human but some of us are "less human" as that is the idea that race ideology professes. If that is the case then the logical conclusion is that we be dominated by the superior race- i would call that a pretty current problem.

what traits are those? thick lips, "nappy hair" those are ethnic traits of african peoples. dark curly hair - those would be traits of middle eastern people, red hair- irish peoples etc.

the "racial traits" of white people is that they are supposedly less similar to apes, other traits like plae skin and thin hair strecth across a great number of ethnicities and providing that some of them (like jews) arent considered whites your presumption of "racial traits" falls flat on its face- science and biology doesnt support such claims and neither do all the people who would fall under the category so there's nothing left to substaniate it.

Again you're begging the question.

Study genetics there is no genetic difference between supposedly white and supposedly black people. There is howvere a difference in ethnicty and that fosters the variance that you suggest.

if a jewish person had a baby with a so-called "white" person

what would the baby be?

WHO KNOWS!?
