Whites could have Europe, Blacks Africa, Asians Asia and Native Americans/Hispanics America.
That would stop all this animosity and hatred.

racism is a learned behavior, it's not biologically, you're not born racist.

Racism is not biological. And the concept of 'race' is now obsolete as we use the term 'gene pool'. The idea of race was that each race had a different origin, but we know now that that is not true. We all have one origin, and what happened was that as people spread out over the world there began to be distinct gene pools in the groups that intermarried. So we did have it that Whites were in Europe, Orientals in the Orient, Middle Eastern gene pools, Native American, and African. Now that we have better modes of transportation the world 'has become smaller' again and the gene pools are mixing and coming up with some very beautiful people.
Rivalries and hatred of 'outside' groups is as old as mankind itself.
Love is the answer.

Racism is not biological. It's something that you learn. It's behavorial. People have been racist for a long time ago and even up to now. Now we see more cultures and we adapting to them and are more tolerant than previous generation. Racism is proabably learned as a protective mechanism. I believe that we shouldn't separate human races per continent because all it comes down to is we belong to one species homo sapiens. We have variations in skin color, hair texture, height, how slim or stocky we are and those are adaptive mechanisms based on our enviroment. When we have some of those genes and they work well for the enviroment then it gets passed down to the next generations. That's how some genetic diseases work like sickel cell anemia. Sickel cell anemia seem to run in africans because of over the years they live in the enviroment and they are exposed to a certain insect (I believe it's tse-tse fly) which spread malaria disease on them. People with sickel cell anemia have an advantage because their red blood cells don't carry enough oxygen and that's creates unfavorable conditition for malaria.
But then we should appreciate people of all different types of background and race because we are all one species homo sapiens.

Racism is not biological, so your question is irrelevant.
If you are looking for a solution to stop animosity and hatred, start looking in another direction. And love your brethren, whatever the colour of their skin

Who in heavens name told you that racism is biological!? It is not . It's a learned behavior. People are socialized into racist patterns of thinking and/or behaving. Dividing the races into separate continents would not solve the problem, especially in this world where we're all so interconnected-isolation would never work.

Nothing wrong with racism, because i feel it is only biology to recognise one that looks, talks, or acts more like you. The problem is when violence enters the picture..
A tribesmen is racist if he dosent choose to leave his tribe and go home with the white traveler?
No point in seperating the continents other than garunteeing those races will remain in 10,000 years. Unfortunately, I feart there will be only one race in 2,000 years making "different races" folklore.
Some see that as good, some see that as bad. I personally think things are perfect right now. Enough diversity to keep things interesting. Many shades of color, many thousands of years of civilization still remaining. Pyramids and Skyscrapers...
Beats the future of grey blob people....

No it would not, It has and Will always be a class struggle hidden in the form of racism.....it is a battle for resources trust me. If the blacks took Africa, it would be two weeks before they were invaded for diamonds. Same with the Asians and technology...the cycle would go on and on!!

Well, it didn't work the first time. That's where all the different races came from, y'know.
And even if it were a good idea, it's a moot point as racism isn't biological anyway..

As humans we have the wonderful gift to live above biological instincts.
Why should we give in to such an instinct? IF it is biological at all. I don't urinate on my bushes like my dogs when I need to go, I know better than that.
Besides, separation always leads to more distrust and hatred. Sharing cultures brings tolerance.

no, debunking the ridiculous notion that racism is biological would help stop some of this animosity and hatred
