frankster Dr Clarke is correct.... How can he be "correct" when he said there was no such thing as race and YOU YOURSELF admit that race exists as a "social construct"???? How can two opposing things be correct at the same time? -Race DOES NOT exist vs -Race IS a social construct. Two opposing concepts. Which one is correct? Race is a Artificial Invention of Man... Nature created no Races Race is unnatural in that it is a manmade manufactured fabrication He said it didn't exist. How can something NOT exist and BE "man made" at the same time? Cars are man made; do they not exist also? Dr Clarke dismissed the concept of Race as "no such thing".....meaning it is a falsity and a lie No. No such thing means it doesn't exist....period. YOU.....frankster....have said that it DOES exist, as a social construct. Have you now changed your position to align with his, that it DOES NOT exist? The fact that Dr Clarke then went on to explain the concept history purpose and implementation of this manufacture fabrication. He did more than just explain the CONCEPT of it but went on to explain the INVENTION of it. He took it beyond the "conceptual" stage to the INVENTED and ACTUAL stage and accepted it as a Reality that he found criticism in. Gingers (redheads) are different...so are blondes - based on the definition above why are they not races ...and according to the definition they CAN be, if one chooses to define them as such. That is not racism...... That is colorism/shadeism(skin tone) Which is also a FORM of racism....in a society that classifies race by "color". Again, race can be classified by any number of physical differences....color being just one among many. Troy don’t be silly of course you can describe people by their physical characteristics, but that don’t mean they are of different races Well, you said: Again, your need to define a people by the color of their skin completely escapes me. I don’t understand it?! You claimed you didn't understand the need to define people by their skin color and I showed you how it could be useful sometimes. It helps identify people. people who hate your guts solely because of the color of your skin. Are retarded and certainly not the majority. Whether they are in the majority or minority is irrelevant. Many of them HAVE BEEN and ARE in power and use that power to enforce their "retarded" beliefs on others. The slave owners who hated and mistreated their slaves simply because of color had the power to enforce their "retarded" beliefs. Racist cops have the power to enforce their "retard" beliefs on those they hate. the failure of people to recognize that there is one race is the primary reason racism has not gone away. And the fact that there IS more than one race is the primary reason most people...who can see...fail to recognize only ONE race, lol. They know better. Racism will go away when RACES (plural) go away. Chev That is the problem, perhaps. Because the term 'race' was deliberately used in modern times, the issue of White Supremacy in ancient times became hidden. So, the racial classifications today hide history that was on that same wise. Well "race" is merely an English word for an ancient concept. Like the word "leg" or "oven" or "eye" or "tree" They had words for these concepts in ancient times but called them by a different name simply because the language was different.
