NBC News: People think they can change their race — that’s just crazy!

[Weatherman2020]

Actually ‘race’ is a social construct. It’s made up. Unlike sex, which is a medically verifiable unchangeable fact.

Majority of Americans fall into two groups- those that think they evolved and came from Africa, and those who think they descended from Adam and Eve in the Middle East.

So yes, you can change your race on a whim.
But never sex.

Actually ‘race’ is a social construct. It’s made up.

The new catch phrase. Unfortunately that's just not true. Human "races" are a sunset within the species. Although some believe we exist at this point in time as separate creations from several early sprcies

Races may be genetically distinct populations of individuals within the same species, or they may be defined in other ways, e.g. geographically, or physiologically. Genetic isolation between races is not complete, but genetic differences may have accumulated that are not (yet) sufficient to separate species.

What is a ‘race’?

Something someone made up while sitting at a desk.

Rachel Dolezal is proof. As is Michael Jackson who was born a cute black boy and died an attractive white woman.

I remember a rap group called the Young Black Teenagers. A group of white guys who must have been ahead of their time though I couldn't name a member or a song.

What race is Obama?

Nword.

Excellent .. all one has to do now is identify as a black, LGBT+ female and you'll have it made.

He used to be called mulatto. But he chooses his race to be black. He's married to a black woman (supposedly) and has black children. He thoroughly aligns with the black race

Yep. He chose his race.
Because like most of, we’re just a smorgasbord of family history.

It’s good on a resume going for a government job.

'Race' is a term used by the overlords to categorize and segregate folks into more controllable groups.

Yep. NAZIS and slave trade were big into creation and manipulation of people based upon their social constructs.

So much ahead of their time that you can't name a member or a song. Yea that's ahead.

Two things. First, Uncle Tom was fiction and second, he was a hero. He wasn’t an obese slovenly dim-wit like you.

He is biracial.
