Do you believe that we should continue to classify Americans into different racial groups? Does such classification harm the American society by distancing its members based upon the color of their skin?
Take for example a simple test or application and how it classifies you based on racial lines. What are your thoughts?

I think Americans should stand up and say I am an American. Born here, reared here and live there. Not that I am an Irish American, Italian American, Afro-American, and the list goes on. This is the only country in the world that does this I think. How silly would it sound if an American went to Africa and said I am an American African? Enough is enough of race separations. Either you are an American or you are not. Where your heart is, that is the place to live and belong.

Well, technically, there do not exists any "race", as we're all the same, there is a "specie", which is the human, but there are no races, it's a great mistake made all through history. So it is actually racist to say there are races. It's sure that's it's a way to categorize people, as we often tend to categorize everything, so it can be clearer and easier to talk about a certain group of people, but, in the facts, it is racist. So, whether or not we should continue classifying people like that or not, that's kind of hard to say.

I think it would be a beautiful thing for everyone to be color blind, but think about it, all different races and creeds, have and come from different cultures, to keep those cultures alive active and breathing, it would be beneficial to the history and lines of ancestory to keep a system within race, in order to pass information and belief origination down the lines of time. on a test or organization asking the question, I think they just want all the information in the world, and in order to identify someone they may need to ask are you pink or blue or green?

Race supplies us cultural values, which provides us difference and a feeling of belonging. we are all human and all of us stay on the comparable planet and all of us have the comparable desires and the comparable issues. no longer all cultures have the comparable desires and the comparable issues on the comparable time; consequently, from that viewpoint race is considerable. On a international foundation, race is irrelevent via fact on a international foundation there are ongoing desires and issues that are uncomplicated to all races that would desire to be addressed on the international point. This grew to become into motives why the UN grew to become into typical. The UN has no longer worked o.k. via fact the ambassadors receive their instructions from their homestead governments which use the UN as political communicate board---the communist are regularly occurring for this. God foresaw all this happening whilst he separated mankind on the Tower of Babel. Mankind will in no way revert to its unique race, yet ultimately it is going to would be united under the Godhead of Jesus Christ. All races will some day stay in proper peace and cohesion in the process the millennium kingdom of Jesus Christ. till such time we would desire to tolerate our variations as ultimate we are in a position to. As a minister of the gospel I minister a large form of races and ideology---that's what God has ordained me to do. whilst i glance at a collection of folk all I see is souls that have the two been gained for Christ or souls that would desire to be gained for Christ---i could care much less approximately what colour the physique is, its gender, the place it got here from or what its previous is. My in trouble-free terms difficulty is approximately the place that soul is going. it would be stunning if all ministers and monks could undertake the comparable habit. My desire is for a proper international ruled via Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Jesus loves you.

We shouldn't use race to push people apart, but neither should we ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. Like any personal characteristic, it should be acknowledged and celebrated, respected and honored... not used as excuse to limit or separate people.
