I agree with the first answerer.
As I've said before-
Race is a valid social concept. But, as a scientific classification, it only applies to other species. To suggest otherwise is to be of the opinion that the Homo-sapien species can be divided into sub-species, which it cannot. The false logic of race as a taxonomic concept was introduced for the sole purpose of division- to create hatred (i.e. so called "racism") between people who actually differ more from those within their own imaginary biological races than they do from those of others.
Translation- We can divide ourselves according to culture, nationality, etc... and group these differences together according to "race". This is a logical concept. In other words, it's within the nature of logic to refer to different cultures, nationalities, etc... as different races.
However, biologically speaking, to group people together according to race is the same as saying that there are sub-species of humans. (Because there aren't enough biological differences between the so-called races to consider them separate and readily distinguishable races. If the opposite was true then there would, in fact, exist sub-species of the Homo-sapien.)
The idea of biological races was introduced for the purpose of division. I don't know how else to word that other than to say that people wanted us to embrace the idea of biological race so that we would hate and/or buy into the fallacy of racial superiority and inferiority.
So, basically, since race is only valid as a social concept, people can identify themselves as whatever they want- whether their labels indicate culture, nationality, religion, etc...- and whatever labels they choose could correctly be referred to as their races. And those labels, a.k.a races, are what people argue, complain, and fight over. Therefore, if the physical differences that people associate with various "races" were to cease to exist, the arguing, complaining, and fighting would continue. Racism as we know it would end, but racism itself would remain.

Go to any country where it is mainly one race..... There is still "racism" Look at Sweden, they have Laplanders who are seen as underclass. To me I can not tell the difference between a Swedish person and a Laplander, however someone from there can.... Every society has it's various levels sometimes it's based on race, sometimes it's based on ethnicity, sometimes it's based on region... the list goes on and on and on.
Everyone being one race would not suddenly make everyone see each other as equal. The problems of the world would not disappear, and people would still get their feelings hurt. That's life. There are examples of your one race idea all over the place and those people aren't living in utopian societies.
The only way there can be peace with all humans is if we all lived completely alone.

We all belong to one race..........the human race, we are all beautiful and dynamic.....but what made this disparity about races..........again the human race, because of the differences we have in colors...just like all colors, they are all useful and beautiful and mixing them all to make a good painting is the same on the face of the earth...all these human race colors are beautiful..they give life to earth and make this place a beautiful place to live in...............we only have to have acceptance and make each color make a difference but as a whole.........

We are all the same race.......humans.
problem is people, who can't get that through their thick stupid human skulls
yes, I do know what you mean, but what you mean is stupid. There is no such thing as "race". It is something, which is usually totally arbitrary and unscientific, that humans create with their imagination for some silly reason. Race is an entirely made up and stupid concept.
Race can't even be scientifically argued, as it is such a stupid , arbitrary, and imaginary concept.
If you believe into it (that goes for "black" or "white" or whatever, you are dumb...full stop.

I have a question for "James". Statistically speaking, which race committs the most violent crimes against the other race? Wrong. Blacks commit 90% of their crime against white people. Whites commit 13% of their crime against black people. It looks pretty obvious who the real haters are in this country. So why "kill" all white people? Does the truth hurt "James". Probably does moron.

We are all of the human race, simply in different packages. My thought it would be very boring if we all looked alike, thought alike, etc. We simply need to close our eyes and open our minds and hearts... Ignorance is an excuse for lack of self respect, self esteem... God bless****

The only way we can end racism is if we kill all of the white people in the world.
