We need to have an honest discussion about race in America

[We Never Know]

He/she is mixed race in my book; half-black and half-Native American.

But that is not a race?

 

[George-ananda]

But that is not a race?

What are you talking about. I don't understand.

From Webster's Dictionary

Definition of race
any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

 

[We Never Know]

He/she is mixed race in my book; half-black and half-Native American.

But yet we breed for example....

A Poodle and Labrador and get a Labradoodle.

A Siberian husky and the Pomeranian and get a Pomsky.

Same species yet it becomes a different breed.

Why are humans a race instead of breed?
Is it political?

A mixed race isn't considered a seperate race as far as I'm aware.

 

[George-ananda]

A mixed race isn't considered a seperate race as far as I'm aware.

One can be a mix of two races and not of a single race. What's your point?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I just see an global agenda around the wo making gray race all over the world by planned migrations and race mixing,
An un natural cycle that 'some people' started in order to their 'new order' to the world with destroying cultures ,races and everything into 'one world' thing...
That not only affected america but any country with pure race sources...
Thats all i know...

What? There is no human who is "gray". There's no such thing as a "pure race", either. Everyone has been reproducing with everyone else who came along since time immemorial.

I thought my point was clear with "A mixed race isn't considered a seperate race as far as I'm aware."

So do you think a "mixed race" is a seperate race? If so what race are they?
Or are they...simply just the human race?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

"Are you implying that black racism dosent exist?"

What?? That's racist to even imply it does

Lol, there's even black people who will tell you that black racism exists and it's a problem. I recall a poll that was taken where it asked which group is the most racist in America today, or something like that. Even most of the black respondents said it was black people. Lol.

I think it was this one:
More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics

"Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way."

 

[Kfox]

No, it's always the other guy's fault. I get called the racist word for not agreeing with the politically correct stance.

I guess it all depends on who you talk to.

I agree but that is often overlooked and ignored.

Some people are of multiple races; what's so hard to understand?

?? You are not grasping the concept of mixed race.

mixed-race

1. denoting or relating to people whose parents or ancestors are from different ethnic backgrounds.
   "mixed-race children"

All races and mixed races of people are part of the human race.

human race

1. human beings in general; humankind.

Using a word in two ways is common in the English language

 

[We Never Know]

Some people are of multiple races; what's so hard to understand?

Because humans are broken into different races.
Such as native american, afro-american, white, asian, etc.
What race is someone with mixed race parents. Mixed race isn't a race.

You're wrong and I give up.

Are they half breeds like they used to call a person with a white parent and a native American parent?

You must hav missed this post....

We breed for example....

A Siberian husky and the Pomeranian and get a Pomsky.

Same species yet it becomes a different breed.

A rhetorical question is a

Not rhetoric.

With beasts we call them “breeds”. You know how there are differences in appearance between a Golden Retriever vs a Doberman Pincher? Well there are differences between humans as well; we often call it race. There are differences in many physical features like hair, skin tone, nose shape etc. between what we call black vs white race. Does this make sense to you? Have you noticed this?

Yeah. You really need to read "The Mismeasure of Man".

Here. It's even cheap.
