I've been spouting off this stat left and right, but I think it's pretty important: human beings share 85% of their genetics traits, regardless of race. I think everyone makes way too much out of superficial differences between us. All this does is serve to separate us and convince us that we can't get along. We can and should.

You shouldn't be proud of something you have no control over; the concept of race is social construct and has nothing to do with ethnicity...

What race? The "Human Race"?
That's what we are all called collectively, so why can't we act the same towrds everyone?
I agree with you wholeheartedly!!
We should make this a poll!!

Race isn't a concept, it's a reality. It's a shame people let it get in the way of getting along in the world, but you can't just wish it away.

Race is not a concept. It's reality. Gender, financial ability, culture...those are all realitites. We can't erase these things from our minds and we certainly shouldn't try...that's a waste of time. People should be proud of who they are, but should also accept how other people are. That's it. I like how you're trying to unite people...but your way won't work.

Very good Idea unfortunately there are still to many "Blue Bloods" left in this world for your rational idea to take hold. Maybe in another 150 years. People will wake up and see what you say is true.

That's ridiculous. Some people are proud of their race, and where you come from IS something to be proud of.
