We need to have an honest discussion about race in America

[Spirit of Light]

It should not matter what color of the skin a person has...

 

[We Never Know]

So you cannot see the difference between a black person vs a white person?

Sure I can yet they are the same race, they are the human race.

It's not "my" book. But hey, you don't like to learn or want to see an opposing view that's fine.

I don't profess to be a teacher. And I certainly dont need to educate you, just because you say so.

I didn't come here to read books, I didn't come here looking for a teacher, or any type of education; I came here for conversation. If you can't do that, I'm talking to the wrong person.

 

[Kfox]

Yes!!! Its political. We used to call a person with a white parent and a native american parent a halfbreed.

True! Your point?

I can also see the difference between a Saint Bernard and a Chihuahua. They are dogs(Canis familiaris). But yet different breed.

 

[We Never Know]

True! Your point?

Its all political. Thats been my point all along.

If you breed them you get Saint Chihuahua...i think

What is conversation but an opportunity to learn?

I’m not sure if English is your first language, but the term “race” is used several different ways in the English language.
*Race A speed competition
*Race Mankind as a whole
*Race Physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry.

You appear to be stuck on the second definition listed, everybody else is talking about the third.

Because the third category is a facade. False. Fake.

Only exists because of politics.

Nope, I am also on the second, a human is a human no matter where they come from or how they look.

You got me. I'm a dumb hick from Oklahoma with only a masters.
Black, white, red, etc are all the human race.

I'm perfectly fine with learning; as long as it comes from conversation instead of being told to read books.

Everybody agrees! It's just that your point has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

So you've never read a book and learned anything? Its actually a great way to learn. Most schools and colleges promote/recommend it.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

A discussion where both sides get to discuss their views, and even if there is no agreement, there is at least respect for the other person’s views.

Some views are not worth respect. The Klan, for example, their views deserve no respect.

 

[Spirit of Light]

So answering you with a different understanding and view of what human race is, make my comment "has nothing to do with the subject at hand" ?

That is strange, last time I checked, discussion and debate are built upon sharing different understanding and views of a topic at hand.

 

[We Never Know]

Ok. What is your subject at hand again.

How its race different from breed?

Give details.

 

[We Never Know]

Some views are not worth respect. The Klan, for example, their views deserve no respect.

And some think the views of gays, trans, democrate, republican, male, female, poor, homeless, etc deserve no respect. Its all about point of view.

Then your missing on the best stuff. *Shrug*
