I can understand the deeper meaning of it. However, I wouldn't put too much effort into trying to start something that isn't sex related on these forums. Most people don't care about that, they just want mindless topics and silly games. |

I think it's one of those things where if you think about it, really think about it, it can make ya feel embarrassed to be part of.
Yes we may be the same species but we're far from identical, yet that doesn't mean we should look down on other people, but at the same time don't put me in the same category as Ted Bundy.

Yes, it is a good meaning of it, as it kind of gives out the message as togetherness of all the humans as one too |

Actually it is technically true, race is a social/political construct not a biological one. |

I like to believe that! It's a shame that most of the times,the ones who advocate against racism are the same ones who incite it. |

I think that it’s one of those twee scribblings that appear on the internet, which seem to speak the truth but actually don’t hold anything more than vague platitudes or cute word play.
When you actually think about it, it makes little to no sense but it seems like it should be a positive sentiment, so it gets passed on |

I get that you don’t like the forums and have a very low impression of those that do but your criticism is unwarranted and based in nothing more than your negative bias.
Many people are capable of multiple levels of engagement |

I wish things were that simple on here and rest of the world. Yes we all maybe humans but one race we will never be and has never been its just one of those things that will remain with us till the end of time |

Race is a social construct of relatively recent origin. Clearly it has acquired meanings which are widely accepted and applied but these have zero scientific basis. All humans are members of the species Homo Sapiens and our physical differences are trivial compared to those found in other species. |

Look for vin diesel movie production company.
But to sum it up. One race. Human race.
There's lots of variants due to geographic location originally but in a world with constant movement that created "different"people...
All I can say is... Treat the others like you would like to be treated... But respect others wishes as well. (In case the way you like to be treated is as a total slut that loves contact with others) |

Oh lovely , Twitter is finally catching up with ancient philosophers.
It's often attributed to Rosa Parks , Margaret Attwood and others and as great as they are , they are quoting.
Beautiful thought tho ..... |

Except that it's full of scientific FACT.....
I accept that it's now used to virtue signal ........ a bit like holding a vigil on Clapham Common ..... |

This!
I find it racism and other 'phobias very strange. yes, they are different than me but I'd rather learn bout that than fear them.
all these things are not chosen by those birthed into this world:
skin colour
gender & sex orientation
birth place & where raised
family
your natural looks inc height
genetic health conditions (mental or physical
etc
99.something% is genetically the exact same in all of us, so we are literally picking on 1% of differences between us....pointless. |

If you're interested in this stuff then look up "genetic isopoint", which some estimate was about 13 generations ago (300 - 400 years).
Race is a fuzzy concept, it kinda exists but the boundaries are blurred.

It's not. It's a quote from a prominent anti racism lady (I forget her name but seen quite a few videos of hers). She was a teacher who taught about racial inequality by segregating all pupils with blue eyes etc. Ground breaking considering it was in the 50's/60's I think. |

Jane Elliot. She wanted to teach her class about equality after the death of Martin Luther King
That footage is some of the most powerful stuff I have seen
She has done more since, well worth a looking further into |

It’s paraphrasing Jane Elliot and what she says makes complete sense. |

I think it’s a Rosa Parks Quote: “I believe there is only one race – the human race.”
...and the One World One Race already has a lovely symbol in showing open palms with World Map printed on hands...

Race is a human made concept. We are ALL humans as a species simple.
No species(or very few for the pedantic) have identical members of the species (minus identical twins) we are all different, this is why you can identify different leopards from their spots, zebras by stripes etc. We are no different & certainly of the same species of mixed raced children would be sterile like ligers & mules are..because it's incompatible for reproduction in nature.
