"Why the hell do either of you need to prove "X race is better than Y race" in the first place?  Look, can't we just say "okay, all races are helpful in advancing society" and move on?"

Not when the other race acts like its supreme.  Well not the other race, but certain members of the other race.

Black people aren't exactly the supreme race, but we were the first race here so in essence we're all African. And tough i come a wild hood in pittsburgh, i know exactly what your talking about that's the reason i skipped over the idiotic posts that some made

Apes aren't exactly the supreme species, but they were here before humans so in essence we're all apes.

[/sarcasm]

Though we are all the same species and not one "race" is superior to the other, just because your evolutionary ancestors came from a location does not make you like your evolutionary ancestors. Though in case of races, it's a moot point because race is a social construct. The "racial differences" we see are only morphological differences that were quick adaptions to climate.

However, this doesn't change the fact that inner city blacks who live in poverty and adopt hip hop culture are total slime either. But it should be said that Westernized blacks who worked hard and earned a better life on their own merit deserve applause.

Wouldn't that mean the entire thread wouldn't be allowed to be posted in?

I don't mean to be an asshole when I post on topics like this. Well, I guess I do. I spent enough time in Newark, Hoboken, East Orange, and NYC to get called "Niggadamus" in a celebratory manner (and I'm pretty close to as white as they get, despite my claim "I'm light skinned!"). I get along. NOBODY makes me laugh as hard as a lot of black guys I know--the sort of humor lauded in their culture is hillaaaaarious. I wish people would try to appreciate and emulate that aspect of their culture! Blacks in this country's history have endured slavery and gross civil rights denial. I have no grief with declaring a month to celebrate blacks who have contributed much to society, to our society, who have benefitted us to this day. It would do us well to remember where we, the whole country, come from.

I think it's past time we all get over the nonsense surrounding race. President Obama is of mixed race. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's something to celebrate, that we as a people have no problem electing a president because of his race, whatever that may be. I think it's ignorant that mixed race isn't good enough for many people, that a man has to pick and identify with a group based on race, even if his upbringing and culture were entirely that of his parent not of that race, whose racial heritage is completely ignored.

I think it's fitting a man with one black and one white parent was elected President. We should stop calling him black because he's half black and accept he's black and white! Whites and blacks both have a president of their race! Hurrah!
