Asking about someone's "race", my Dear One, always reminds me about asking exactly what species they are. Is one a Human, a Hamster, a Chimp, a Black Fly, what? I think we *should* eliminate "race" from the language and put the word Human in it's place. This might just get people to think more globally rather than thinking in terms of skin colour. Blessings.

Maybe, once we as a people are able to see each other by the content of our character, and not by the color of our skin or religious beliefs.
Sad to say, we have a very long way to go.
The elimination of the use of the term "race" officially in all institutional contexts at this point and time in our society, would hinder the work of all fair minded people who are trying their best to level the playing fields.
It is easier to see a crime being committed in the light than it is in the dark.
Comparing circumstances of "race" issues can be used as a giant spotlight If we are truly honest with ourselves.
How many of us can perform our very best when we are depress or oppress?

Keeping the term race in offical contexts is helpful in some ways. Test scores in school are classified by race to help us learn more about what needs to be done to improve them. Blacks, for example, score the lowest on standardized tests. This information is useful to the country and without the race classification we would not know this.

Jews try this for concern of taking the Lord's call in ineffective. God isn't his call nevertheless. In Hebrew, that's YHWH. additionally they could kiss the Bible in the event that they knock it off a table and different issues because it desecrates God's call. additionally they can't make enjoyed ones issues like switches paintings on the Sabbath, yet shop lighting fixtures on or off, can no longer flush lavatory. They tape them in the event that they have young ones so the babies do no longer overlook. My superb buddy dated the two an Orthodox Jewish guy and a Messianic Jew. Debbie

Of course not, race is a fact of life. There is nothing wrong in defining someones race, as in their ancestry. It's like asking if we should eliminate "eye colour" or "hair colour", because of the fact that people have different colour eyes or hair. People should instead learn to deal with people's different races, as they've learned to deal with people's different hair, clothing, eyes, height, weight, etc. Being tolerant of reality is much better than pretending to be oblivious to it.

no. a race is a race. its more like a factual term whether people like it or not. caucasian is a race. african american is a race. in about a million years when we are all blended into one race, then we can eliminate the term

in this day and age yes i think that would be a wise decision. it should have never been put in any context,after all we were all created equal in the eyes of god and it will be his eyes that has the final look at each of us.
