    Interesting Topic...

    The concept and construct of 'RACE' hasn't been around for more than 1000 years. Infact, I doubt that it has even been around for a thousand years.

    I don't know how many Biblical believers we have present here but if we are to study the Bible which is a record of Humankinds Mystery(some would say History)then we could all note that nowhere in the Bible is the term 'RACE' ever used to describe a peoples much less to make a distinction between peoples.

    We are all descendant of many different nationalities and cultures of peoples which within each group has many differing physical characteristics. Some of Us just come from groups that either deliberately chose or just happen to come together because of their physical commonalities... which would suggest some type of pureness towards that characteristic. Nevertheless... until recently these Differences were never distinguished as 'RACE' nor were they used to subjugate any particular group of people.

    In Noahs day ALL the Skin Complexions, Facial Features, Physical Characteristics, and Hair Textures existed just as they do Today but ALL the People of the Earth were of One 'RACIAL' Family.

    People didn't separate until the Tower of Babel where by languages were created and confounded. I would venture to say that not only did people segregate themselves by language but as time went on began to segregate themselves further by appearance in hopes to make that physical characteristic uniquely apart of their lineage.

    The Bible says that in the LAST Days the Earth will be as it was in Noahs day. I Think this is also Suggestive of the Peoples of the Earth. That it will look as ONE PEOPLE or ONE 'RACE' so to speak again.

    The MakeUp of this NEW 'Racial' Group of Mixed Breeds. within America, has all taken place within the last 50 or so years. Can we imagine what it will look like in another 100 or so years? EveryBody that is Alive right now with the exception of a Blessed Few will be DEAD. The concepts and notions that we live by will have Died with Us. Sadly there are factions on all sides that Desperately do not want to see this change take effect in our absence so we continue to bombard our Youth with these BullSHIIT Concepts and Construct of 'RACE' in hopes that they will continue these Ideas.

    Is what I just said comprehensible to EveryOne here? Does it make any sense to any of you?

    I would like to hear what You Think.

    Think about it. The Open conversation of 'RACE' has been Shushed. It is the only subject that WE no longer discuss in Schools or Churches... and that is because of the MakeUp of Society now. THEY want to Secretly Control the thought processes of the Masses.

    It makes sense as an idealistic, biblical story, but history shows people wanted to dominate over others since forever (be it on nationality, racial or other grounds)....and categorize and differentiate....and I'm afraid in 100 years from now those attributes of human nature will still exist so if nowdays conceptions and notions will be disappeared it will be so only to be replaced with others of the kind (domination, categorizing and differentiating).

    I don't understand what you meant with "Think about it. The Open conversation of 'RACE' has been Shushed. It is the only subject that WE no longer discuss in Schools or Churches... and that is because of the MakeUp of Society now. THEY want to Secretly Control the thought processes of the Masses."

    Good point Seychelles...

    Humans have always tried to subjugate other humans for whatever reason but the destinction that is being made is that 'RACE' as that means of subjugation is a fairly new concept. Besides that... as an idea it is just about run its course. The idea is becoming FAST outdated. There are Eugenist and Purist on all sides that would like to see the notion of 'RACE' continue to be used to separate people so they would prefer to keep it hush hush now. They don't want people sharing ideas about how 'RACE' has no REAL Definition.

    I agree that people will find other ways of subjugating and separating themselves. That is the Human condition... but we can rest comfortably knowing that it won't be the term 'RACE' by which they continue to do it.

    How did I do with making my point this time?
