BUT when it comes to humans we see and categorize ourselves and even have names for different people because of color.

Humans seem to have the tendency to fear other humans who are different from themselves.
So, someone who has a different skin color, speaks a different language and/or displays unfamiliar cultural tendencies creates a feeling of unease in many individuals who have lived a cloistered life and haven't been exposed to the truisms and logic that result from absorbing the lessons of a formal education.
A world-wide commitment to eliminating illiteracy can eventually wipe out prejudice.

It's because the pride, honor and self dignity in people make people hate each other. If we can lower a bit our dignity and pride maybe we will have less hate in our society which already full with hatred, unhappiness and anger. We can try to make the world the better place by not hating each others in so many way, shape and form. And also humans seem to have the tendency to fear other humans who are different from themselves. People always get uncomfortable with something that are new and unusual from theirselves.
But rkeep in mind that those who have the hatred inside themselves, are those who suffer a lot.

Your argument is too simplistic, although I do get your point.
It is not only color that is a factor. In countries where everybody is colored just about the same, for example, in Asian countries, discriminations still exist. In United States, colors are the easiest and most apparent ways to divide people.
We currently have an ideal that people are the same regardless of color. This is simply not true. They may be equal, but they are not the same.
True, color does not determine people's quality, but because of our social making, people of same color tend to form their own society. Each society has its unique characters, backgrounds, problems, advantages, etc. If you put aside political correctness and really watch, you'll notice, people of similar color tends to have similar needs. This is not because of their skin color but this is because of their social belongings. Color just tends to be a good indicator. Of course, it is not that simple and there are many exceptions. That is not to say, color determines the needs. Quite opposit.
It is a product of our own thinking that we see color as a bad thing. Also, history plays wrong influence. Because of this, we try so hard to ignore color and wind up in a place where mere mention of color brings back bad memories.

It is how people are raised and what they are taught. People being weak and not standing up for how they feel about others and letting one angry person decide how the should feel about a diferent race. In Gods eyes we are all the same , and when a child is born they see no different until they are taught to see differently!

Mostly fear...of being less than. That's the only reason why people try to see differences, so they can rank them. But like you, I know there are no differences. Fear is the opposite of love, not hate as some believe.

thru spiritual evolution we are improving
the situation, but yes humans hav many animal-like
qualities.
most animals hav a natural 'hatred' toward a species
in competition with their survival, humans are regrettably
more efficient at it becus
they hav more abstract thinking and are capable
of makin prejudice into an art

Excellent observation. I believe one is not doing too well in life and thinks they are raising themselves by putting another down.
