"All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains....It is impossible for any individual to trace every drop of blood in his constitution... After we go back a few generations our ancestors increase so prodigiously that it is practically impossible to determine exactly the various elements which constitute our being."
What do u think?

Combine that statement with the fact that we are all descendents of Africa and you end up with one "race." What you see on the outside is simply geographical adaption, not evidence of separate "races." Our skin colors, hair textures and blood alleles are temporary edits in the blueprint of humanity, not a permanent state of affairs. Our people (humanity) will look incredibly different 50,000 years from now. Folks just don't have any vision when they pratter on about this "race" and that "race" constantly dividing each other up into narrow boxes, conceived by narrow minds.

So true...but society has built priviledge into the skintone. Anyone with a light complexion is granted certain rights at birth. It is time for us to realize that each one of us must actively work to change the system. It is true also that families have been separated by skintone for years and that some families have the 'others'...the ones that are the wrong color or the wrong class. When will we all get along? Greed has made us act this way.

Such that Arnold Shwarztnegar (excuse sp) wants to be a presidential candidate, yet he cannot, since he is a native to Austria? Yet are we, Americans, native too. Is it so, that we must have generations of forefathers before we can be great leaders in this country? According to our own constitution, I believe it is only the true Native Americans whom may become leaders in this county, thus creating every election held viod. Just remember the power of thought, and discover truth.

yes twanyaMC, This is the America that denied First Nation people, blacks and women the vote for years. They have only recently allowed women and blacks to be represented as possible candidates for the office of president. Never have they allowed or promoted a First Nation person to do so. it is a slap in the face to me and those like me, when they discuss changing the constition of the United States to allow 'Arnold' to become president. Some have even said they would change the law again, after he 'won' the seat. This is one example of implied racism perpetrated by the leaders in the USA. ----------
