@DelanoI don't think it's disappearing... but if it were - it would be the result of fact-based teaching versus concept-based teaching.

Sorry about the typos. I corrected the sentence. I'm not arguing that the social construct is not real. I'm arguing it is based upon outdated information. Social constructs do not have to be, and usually are not, based upon genetics -- in fact, that is what makes them social constructs. For example, the fact the Barack Obama is "Black" and not white is social construct, made upon by man with no basis in genetics. It seems race is an important aspect of poverty as it relates to the so called Black man. White folks used "race" to justify turning another human being into chattel. Since Black people were of an inferior race, they could be lumped in with other animals like hogs and mules, 'cept it was cool to have sex with them to make more... @Pioneer1, do you think white folks were justified in the beliefs that the so called Black race was inferior? It seems to me if you believe white people and Black people belong to different races, then is is fair to assume that those differences can make one race superior to the other. Since white people dominate the planet win, all the Noble prizes for science, and Black folks can't seem to earn as much money, stay out of jail, or live as long as white folks, wouldn't it be fair to assume that white people are indeed superior? It seems most of our most successful Black men marry white women. Maybe you are right Pioneer, maybe white folks are a different and superior race. This is a perfectly logical conclusion given your understanding of "race."

@HICKSON, where are you in the London Reign photo?
