Thinking, be it positive or negative requires labelling; it is this of which has a direct impact on the molecular level with-in the body.
Regretfully, it is society’s method of brainwashing the people that basically limits the ability to truly place the correct label on something that simply is.
An example of thought outside of the tribal way of thinking: there is no such thing as a black man, if even at all there is only “the man”; it is thinking in such a manner which in turn eliminates the said potential enemy.

i think why we label is more what you are asking. we label because we must. we must understand our enviroment and that requires grouping things of like manner together. labeling is first a matter of instinct, hey fire is hot, ill not touch things on fire from now on. then as we mature it becomes more biased and twisted. things have influinced us regardless of how we may try to be impartial, and its these influinces whick soon become the dominant labeling device, though often subconcience still influinced. even in your example, within the question, why use a "black man" for an example? and why therefor end the question with a statement like potential enemy? could not you say if black exists is it not only because of the other colors to compare it to?

In fact the human being is a unique thing ,who has invented /discovered the ways to differentiate amongst the human itself. As per the nature, all human beings are almost same having similar type of blood, body organs and mind etc. However, we have started differentiating on the basis of colour of skin, place of birth and level of development etc. That is why the labelling has come up.
If at all we have to lebel people ,it should be based on the closeness to true humanity achieved by the individuals rather than any other reason.
When all of us will start thinking in these terms the laballing would be eliminated automatically.

Well, I agree to some extent, but as you say we are humans and humans tend to label things, it is our nature. There will always be the opposite of everything. I can bet you that there will be a person who does not agree with me or that there will be a person that I won't agree with.
Labels are necesary because that is the way we are. If no lables existed this would be a perfect world and I don't see it going there.
Interesting question, Greetings from Baja!

Cute way of testing the waters, but that`s ok I do it sometimes too.
First of all society (label) is not the brainwasher but the brainwashed or programmed.
I approach the attempt to understand pretty well everything from the ground of the law of attraction as taught in the Science of Deliberate Creation. It never fails me.
