Race is general, but it exists

We don't need a "feel good" web site but a factual one. And the fact is, in general, one can identify various races. Denying race accomplishes nothing and implies one is humiliated to be identified as a member of one.

Actually, environmental adaptation exists. Biological, static "races" is a myth perpetuated by junk science profiteers. Homo Sapiens as a race is over two million years old. The amount of visibile melanin that some folks desparately need to use as a dividing line for separating us into "races" is only about 10,000 or so years old. Its a mere burp in time when you take the totality of our existence into consideration.

Why does this minor period of environmental adaption cause some folks to insist on separating us into little stupid boxes?

Gain?

Hatred?

Tunnel vision?

Neo-segregationist leanings?

Why is our shared 2 million or so years of existence together constantly scrapped in favor of an over-emphasis on the last 10,000 years of environmental adapation?

Its almost a cult-like adulation based on nothing.

our ancestors increase so prodigiously when we try to determine our lineage...einstein tells us it is mathematically impossible to determine a "pure race"

Race was a term used in the modern lexicon referring to the human species when 'races ' by slave ships were run. Actual races of blacks from one shore to another to be enslaved...shortened to black 'race'...no such thing as race...get over it...that is what this site is about...i agree with you James...thanks so much for your input
