I Can Solve The Race Issue With One Simple Law...

[SteyrAUG]

Instead of trying to classify people by race based upon skin pigment (black, white, yellow, etc.) or race based upon global origin (Asian, African, European, etc.) we will just have TWO racial categories.

Darker and Lighter.

As with the current racial qualifiers they are completely arbitrary, based upon nothing more then human perception and will always contain genetic exceptions.

And just like the current racial classifications people who should be in one identifiable racial group will actually have more genetic commonality with another identifiable racial group.

So no more confusion when the blond haired white girl has genetic traits that make her more racially "black" than some NAACP members, no more embarrassing discoveries when some black kid discovers he has more Asian than African genetic traits and we finally get to figure out which group people with mixed heritages are supposed to be in.

Just stand next to somebody. Are you darker or lighter? Now wasn't that easy?

And sure in the summer some people might become a different race temporarily, and sure it will sound completely stupid to award scholarships and hiring preferences based upon such idiotic and arbitrary criteria...especially those that are subject to fluctuation.

But maybe if we did this everyone who thinks they are black or white (btw, most aren't...they are actually some shade of pink or brown) will figure out how idiotic classifying by race is in the first place.

And as a bonus, if we do this correctly we should have a pretty cool pink to brown (ROYGBIV) rainbow every time we line up a group by race. And won't it be funny when the time comes that the two individuals at the opposite ends of the line have more genetic commonality with each other than the rest of the group.



I have a dream...that one day we can end this stupidity once and for all.

Country of Origin. Problem solved.

If that were law, I could totally play the system. I tan super easily, my Dad and Uncle are super dark, but I've gotten lighter since living in Oklahoma and staying indoors all the time.

I have a much better solution to this issue of race and know an absolute way to unite all of man kind.

Have them hate something else!









This is why we need to conquer the stars and expand our species so that we can find other species and instead of humanity being racists against each other we can all become xenophobic and speciesist/human supremacism/humanocentrism. The idea that humans, as both beings and a species, are the superior sentients. Essentially the equivalent of race supremacy on a galactic scale, it entails intolerant discrimination against sentient non-humans.

No matter what mankind is tribal and violent amongst itself nd if we don't focus and direct that anger towards and exterior source then we will surely collaspe and destroy ourselves.

Fooking Prawns!

This might be the only viable solution.

Turn all the animosity that never seems to leave us to somthing not of this earth.

Yup, TR said it best:

"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all … The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic … There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else."
