Racism - your thoughts?

[manutd.]

I know.

Fail on my part.

I heard someone say that one time: 'The only race is the human race'

it sounds fucking stupid like that.  most people eat, breathe, and shit their cute little sayings, but in this case, it's not untrue

mostly because "race" doesn't really "mean" anything

in a sense, "race" is "make-believe"

i understand wat ur saying ;)
wat would u call it? theres the cat race, dog race etc, y not call humans in that same manner?

it's not untrue

that just means true for those that find it hard to understand double negatives.

cat race?  dog race?  what the fuck?  breeds?

Domain:   Eukaryota
Kingdom:   Animalia
Subkingdom:   Eumetazoa
Phylum:   Chordata
Subphylum:   Vertebrata
Class:   Mammalia
Subclass:   Theria
Order:   Primates
Superfamily:   Hominoidea
Family:   Hominidae
Subfamily:   Homininae
Tribe:   Hominini
Subtribe:   Hominina
Genus:   Homo
Species:   H. sapiens
Subspecies:   H. s. sapiens

that's not to say that there can't be "races" or "divisions" among the species.  however,  if there are biological variances that resemble "races," they haven't been clearly defined.  it's mostly just a bunch of bullshit that many people take the currently defined "races" as de facto

tiger, lion, leapord, cheetah arnt they all part of the cat family ie cat race. lol that sounds a bit stupid

anyway, by saying species, uve just grouped the human race into divisions.

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

tiger, lion, leapord, cheetah arnt they all part of the cat family

family:  felidae  --  "cats"

family:  canidae -- "dogs"

family:  hominidae  -- humans, chimps, orang., apes

anyway, by saying species, uve just grouped the human race into divisions.

no, no i haven't.  i've divided the genus "homo" which includes homo sapiens (us) and all of our closest relatives (think cavemen.  not us)

there's just one species:  "homo sapiens."  you aren't going to find the subspecies listed there walking around town

because race and species are different things.
