Am I the only one tired of people speaking about being Black or White as a race?

Does anyone other than me realize that the color of an individual's skin does not under any circumstance make him part of any race, it's a skin tone. Please allow me to elaborate much deeper and with greater detail so no one thinks I'm just spewing nonsense. Factually speaking, the definition of race is specific to physical features, which in turn "used to" also identify ethnicity based on the different regions of the world where these physical features were prominent. However, everyone dismisses the fact that neither race or ethnicity can be proven or predicted by testing the human genome. A vivid example of that fact is an individual who exhibits what some typically refer to as an "Albino Black person" the name is literally a contradiction within itself. You're calling someone white and black at the same time. Does that make this person less of an African American if his skin tone is white? OF COURSE NOT! The term "race" is a social construct specifically used to define groups of people. So why are we using a social construct, which seems pretty clear to me, that's specifically used to segregate the population and divide them into groups based on appearance and physical features? I, an olive-skinned son of Portuguese immigrants, served in the US Army and held the line with African, Latino, Korean, Filipino, Italian, Greek, and Spanish Americans. At no point did we act differently towards each other because of the shade or color of each other's skin. I'm convinced that was because we were in it together from day one. We put our lives in another person's hands and they put their lives in our hands. Until we as a society drop the social constructs that bigots put in place to keep race and ethnicities segregated we are never going to be rid of bigots and bigotry as a whole. I do understand that African Americans have gone through unimaginable horrors. However, we can't forget the Japanese inturnment camps of the 1940s during WWII, which wasn't ok either. Have we already forgotten that children from South American countries were ripped from their parents and put in cages? How is that different exactly, from ripping African men from their families and putting them in chains? Oh, that's right, they were then sold as slaves. Isn't that similar to what the Germans did to the Jews in the concentration camps? As I mentioned earlier, I'm of Portuguese descent. I am very well aware of which nation was the worst offender when we're talking about the slave trade. I didn't personally do that, nor would I ever condone putting a pet in a cage; never mind a human being. Can we please stop with the race or ethnicity competitions? It only takes one group of powerful morons to subjugate a group of people based on nothing more than physical features they find less desirable. As long as we, as a people continue to define ourselves using the same social constructs bigots created it is only a matter of time before a different skin tone or physical feature is used to select a new group of people. I can't stand when good people sit back and say it has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with everyone. If bigots are allowed to run out in the open unchecked, what happens when they add others to their list of undesirables? What if the next group is yours, your mom's, your dad's, or your partner's skin tone or physical features? Would it be ok if African Americans, Japanese Americans, or Latino Anericans did to other American families what was done to them? While it would be well within their right to do so in the true spirit of justice (Eye for an Eye, etc.) that would just change the dynamics between oppressor and oppressed. It would do nothing to rid us of bigotry and would simply empower radical bigots who have found a platform from which to speak to the masses over the past 5 years. To me that's unacceptable. So please stop using your physical description as the primary narrative of who you are or where you're from. Even people that are color blind can distinguish the difference between a black person and a white person. It says nothing about you or the content of your character. It doesn't honor your family heritage or describe it's origins. Isn't the latter far more important than the color of your skin?

I'd like to thank you for reading and welcome opposing views. Conversations about hard topics inevitably leads to better understanding. It is to that purpose I decided to post this thread. Hopefully, I didn't offend anyone. It most certainly is not my intention and please accept my sincere apology if I have offended anyone unintentionally.

Please be save and prosperous.

The terms black and white to describe race is shorthand. The proper terms would be Negroid and Caucasoid. Asians would of course be Mongoloid. Albinos can be of any race. They are not of the white or Caucasian race. In Africa they are said to be lucky and delectable.

Back to your difficulties. We wanted a color blind society in which old grievances are set aside and we go forward as countrymen. Together. Realistically.

Nonsense. Black people don't want a color blind society. They want a black superior structure with a healthy dose of revenge.

So sorry for you.

Nonsense. Black people don't want a color-blind society. They want a black superior structure with a healthy dose of revenge.

So sorry for you.
I'm sorry, you were kidding when you stated they want a "black superior structure," right?

Specifically, where did you find evidence of that?

You seem like a decent person but you are terribly confused.....I would like to be able to go into more detail and perhaps help you see things more clearly but due to so many glitches on here now....not to mention coming down with a trigger finger I am forced to make my postings very short.

But if you are actually interested in the truth...

Hilarious. Grievances have to be addressed and redressed in order to move forward. You want to skip that bit. Funny that.

exactly.....the first one being the outrageous level of black violence.

Sure.

How dare they assault a tree like that.
 
Been Telling people there is no such thing as Race since 1970. Do the research and anyone will come to the same conclusion.

Nonsense....you have been propagandized....aka you drank the kool-aid

No, everyone from my earth science teachers and Anthropologist agree with my findings. Mine came from research not propaganda.
Ohhh I certainly agree with you. The science will tell you..... The reality is that the culture is divided into two parts, neither one having anything to do with race. Once side is "We loot for justice." The other side is "You loot, we shoot."

Dude, learn to write cogently with text broken and organized into paragraphs of salient thought if you want people to read your glop.
