There are people out there that think having a different skin makes them superior.
These mindset has diminished but not disappeared.

I now have a question
Why is Race a Issue?
By that i mean why do we still even acknowledge it why does it still seem to matter if one is black or white?
I have never understood Racism, I can understand Religious bigotry, homophobia, Agism and so on (although i disagree strongly with all forms of discrimination) but Racism I just dont get it. I can understand (but disagree with) why someone might be homophobic because they dont like the idea of a same sex couples. But Racism?
We all bleed the same, we all hurt and love the same so i dont get it.
I personally see no difference between black man and white man other than the pigmentation of skin, but to me that is no different than a guy with brown hair and a guy with blond hair or a fat man and a skinny man.
So why is the color of skin a issue, I think its terrible that we still need to pass laws to prevent racial discrimination, for me it shouldn't even be a issue.edit on 28-8-2013 by OtherSideOfTheCoin because: (no reason given)

I don't believe all the human races/sub species are identical apart from skin colour; there are many differences in behaviour, and physical and cognitive capacity but we aren't allowed to say so because it's not PC.
I believe black Africans (and their descendants) are dominant in sporting pursuits, and the evidence for that is crystal clear. They dominate many sports in the US and UK, despite forming only a small percentage of the population.
Intellectually they consistently under-achieve compared to other races, and are massively over-represented in crime stats.
Flame away.

They dominate in many sports in the US & UK???? I know they do in the US.... but in the UK as well?
Also, didn't the slave owners only pick the stronger males and females to "buy".....
this could explain thier dominant "sporting pursuits" through genetics. no?
either way who cares.
Race shouldn't be a big deal anymore...
on a long enough timeline.... I'm sure we will ALL eventually be one color.
plus we all bleed red.
Wait, I take that back. I had some friends back in the city who threw around the "n-word" a lot. I asked why they called each other and their families such a thing and they explained it "diffused" the meaning.
