There is no such thing as race in my book. Some humans have a tan and some don't. Scientists agree that aside from family traits which help determine skin and hair color, people are essentially biologically all the same. However, bigotry and prejudice is very much a thing. Slavery in the USA centuries ago was especially shameful because it was based on skin color, and of course in the years following the Emancipation, Black Americans have not been given the credit they deserve for help building our country. And that's why we now have Black History Month.

I... don't understand what your point is here

Edit: To put it simply, you state there's no such thing as races, so I named a race-specific disease. If you don't understand the point, well...that's your problem, not mine.


My point is that your claim that "scientists agree people are essentially biologically all the same" is bullshit. If that were true, there wouldn't be diseases that only affect certain races. There wouldn't also be measurable differences in cranial and brain sizes. You wouldn't be able to measure bone density between races.


My point is you're talking out your ass. On top of that, you're trotting out "slavery in the US was based on skin color?" I'm sorry, what about all the white Irish slaves? Oh, they were "indentured servants," so they don't count?


Personally, I don't know any blacks that feel so inferior that they want an entire month of people trying to convince them they're equal. That's what black history month is. Lefties, and racists such as yourself, view other races as lesser. The bigotry of low expectations. Look up Morgan Freeman's opinion of Black History Month.
