It is not an illusion. Race DOES exist.

It is a wonderful dream, but not a realistic goal.
We can keep trying though.
Too many people cannot stand to see differences in others. They attack them out of fear and/or ignorance.
If we were so different, reproducing together would not be an option. We can. Therefore, we are the one and the same.

Those are just theories, it is a little more complex then that. Originally we come from the same lizard, but then we broke off into different families specializing in certain genetic traits. Due to a similiar evolutionary process we are now crossing paths again.

Before this can happen, blacks must forgive whites for slavery. They have not done this. Whites feel this endless resentment form blacks, and resent the implication of being unspoken blamed for something that happened in the 1800's and before. Present day whites are not responsible for what happened back then by other people. White people have, and continue to try to make amends, but nothing is good enough for them. Today black people are rejected primarily because they hate white people and are taught from early on to spurn and dis-integrate them selves from society, through clothes, music, Names, language dialect and so on. Reject, and you will continue to be rejected.

Eventually. It's going to be a while though. There are some of our population that need to demean someone as a way to elevate their sagging self esteem. Poor things.

It won't happen because societies keep order/tyranny with us vs. them mentality.

Eventually, but I seriously doubt we will see it in our lifetime. I hope we will....I hope to see it.
