philothea Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 There are usenet groups I used to participate in where this would degenerate into a 2 month long flamewar on whether the concept of "race" was valid at all. Thank God, we are not them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: this only applies to the women. And attractive women at that.

[right][snapback]770482[/snapback][/right] [/quote] because race has been socially programmed as important. Somewhere along the line it had to be made acceptable to subjugate and enslave other humans. so, what better way than to recategorize them as "different"? so now people have bought into race and use it to perpetuate differences in education, language, yadda yadda yadda.
