What's the point of separating people as Blacks, Whites when in reality we are all different shades of Brown?

Question

There is not a single white or black skinned person. The whitest european's (scandinavian) skin is still darker than white, the darkest African's (central africa) skin is still lighter than black. Because we are all brown.

Well we separate people by hair colour too, people are interested in people and need a way of describing what they look like to others.

I think you are incorrectly assigning an inherent hatred to any racial descriptor.

Horses come in different colours too and we would use words to describe what colours they were but you wouldn't suggest that people had anything against horses of different colours.

It seems to me that you are trying to make an anti racist point but are in fact being racist, because for you there is some inherently negative meaning to white or black.
Im not going to waste my life describing myself as a light brown coloured man and then having a conversation which goes something like, well how light brown are you? Like an olive colour? No, no, lighter than that and spending 10 minutes in some needlessly torturous exercise doing everything that i can to avoid saying the word white just in case some one, who would have to be a racist by the way, doesn't think i am being a racist.

Thats silly.

Because the races of human have innate behavioral patterns.
Race is more than skin deep. Race affects a lot of things in humans. From bone density, to IQ, to hormone production and hormone ratios, to brain development etc

It's not a popular thing to say, but europeans and Africans have a different hominid ancestor. Europeans have neanderthal DNA which is what gives them their distinct features. Asians have denisovan DNA which gives them their distinct features and way of being.
Africans, have different admixture too, but scientists haven't discovered which hominid yet. So they call it "ghost" DNA

Each race is unique, different, and has different attributes that go beyond skin color. Stop trying to belittle our heritage to make us all the same. I love diversity and I love how every race is different inside and out ❤ each race of man is equal in dignity and will be judged equally before God ❤

Well, different ethnic groups  do  have different genetic patterns, which  does  make them more vulnerable or more resistant to various medical problems and conditions. But that's "tailoring a specific pattern of medical treatments", not "planning on how to treat people in general". Beyond that one tiny exception- there isn't one.

Tell that to "black lives matter", and not all things in life a literal you know? also women have some testosterone, does it make them men? no, it's about the percentage, same with skin color.

It’s about culture. Current African American culture leads to abandoned children, poverty for single mother/baby mommas, drug dealing, gangs and murder. Black male culture is the root of the black community issues. Get rid of them and the US rate of gun violence, murder, single moms, incarceration levels, poverty, school drop outs all drop significantly to very modest level. They are always trying to get over on people and they just make a mess of life for all around them.

Are you really trying to argue that race doesn't exist? Are you actually saying that you can't see any difference between a typical person of European descent and one of Asian, or African, or native American, or native Australian descent?

The point is to make yourself superior or just a group of people entitled for more, like an excuse to say I'm better thus you own me money, or in America in the past (400~ years ago) I'm white so your my slave (black people).

You are just focused on colour! But there is more than just colour of skin. If you can ever get that major part...

So I’m guessing Asians are in another category... Ah yes, they’re Saiyans.

Oh so you don't wanna accept arbitrary identification huh? You sure you not woke.

OddBeMe · Answer

Societally, there’s no reason. Scientists do it to categorize and study ethnicities. But that has little to no actual real world need.

Race is a social construct anyways.
