There is no such thing as racism
I would like to point out that we are using the term racism incorrectly. The dictionary defines racism as: prejudice, discrimination, or hatred towards a race or races but, are we not all of the human race? The term we should be using is Breedist, there is no seperate human race or various races, we are breeds within the human race. As an example we do not refer to dogs/K-9s such as the german shepherd and pittbull as two different races but breeds under the K-9 race. I am requsting the appropriate use of this term.
How is this IC? And Don't you realize there are sub races? it depends on your point of view. if you are looking at the human race as a whole, it is composed of countless races. if you compare humans to another breed of intelligent life, then it becomes a human race.
Just like there is more than one Christian Religion. We simply have a word for them, denominations. We need a word like that for skin colors.
We need to unlearn racism.

No. unlearning racism is making everyone the same race, and the same culture, and same nationality. THAT is nazism.
So what you are claiming is that not being racist is impossible?

For that matter, we're using the word homophobia incorrectly. homophobia means fear of the same. both parts of that are wrong... one, calling homosexuals homos is not PC. And second, calling it a fear is incorrect too. Its not a fear, its a dislike or disgustment.

Improbably, but possible, and encouraged. But as for uniting everyone into one big race and removing terms like "Black people" and "white p[eople" and "asians" is dumb. We need to be able to sort people out, especially those who act differently.
MODALERT
This should be in General.
Race is a social construct. I can change my race just by getting on a plane and going to another country.
In these troubled times, where there is so much hate and violence over such issues as race, religion, ethnicity, and political beliefs, we are all forgetting the most importent point. It does not matter wether you are Black, White, Asian, Middle Eastern, or anything, what matters is that we are human beings, one and all. We need to unite as a race. There are enough problems facing us without needing to resort to needless bickering among ourselves. I say the time to band together is now! Reach out your hand to one whom you may have looked upon with hate, for are we not all brothers and sisters when we look deep enough? We all share the desire to love, to procreate, to enjoy ourselves, and most importently, to live. If anything, we the human race have as a whole many more things in common than we have differences. So let us all say no to unreasoning hated. For should mankind managed to conquer our own petty hatreds, nothing can stop us.

Your "nationality" is where you were born. And your Citizenship is... where you hold citizenship. And FYI, if I fly to france, i don't automaticcaly become a citizen. There are things called Visas... and Green cards etc...
Just remember that neonazis won't last long against me.

Unfortinately, there are those who despite everything inisist on hating. I'm not sayin that such a thing will happen in the near future, or even in my lifetime. But if mankind is to survive we must one day learn to put aside our differences and get along. Forgive me if I feel it wrong that when I get up in the morning I dread reading the paper for fear of seeing how many have died in some ulitmately petty pointless conflict. That I should feel the pain of those who will never have the chance to live out their lives as they should, who must must live in fear everyday of their lives. A child should not have to be afraid to walk the streets for fear of being killed in yet another senseless act of violence. I myself have never been one to stand back while people inflict pain on others, nor do I suggest that anyone else do so. I am simply trying to make the point that all the violence in the world over petty stupid things like race will ultimately prove fruitless in the great expanses of time.
The Stuff of Life
Blood, it pounds in my veins.
Filling each and every vessel, feeding every cell.
Rushing from head to toe in a never-ending cycle.
Pushed forward by an untiring heart, BaBoom, BaBoom.
Around and around it goes, from the day I’m born to the day I die.
Red as a rose, and as thin as water, it races through me.
It is the fluid that sustains life.
Without it you and me are nothing.
So why is it that people feel the need to shed it.
By killing one another?
A World of Dreams
There is a place far away,
Where there is no war,
There is no pain,
There is no suffering.
It is a place where all men are kind to one another.
There is plenty for all.
There, one does not grow older, except in wisdom.
It is a place where death cannot enter.
There is no hatred, there is no envy.
The air is always filled with the sound of song and laughter.
And I try to get there every night,
As I lay in my bed, with eyes shut tight.
But it is forever out of my reach.
Try though as I might.
For I know that when day comes I must end my search.
And then I arise and face the light.

Please do so, but I'm not going to miss a chance to give my point of view simply because this thread is in the wrong forum.
