Should we do away with all race labels and just describe skin tones?

[OddBeMe]

No more asking for race on profiles, applications, etc. We only identify by skin tones and maybe nationality if describing accents. Of course our family ancestry is relevant. But no more valuing “race” or the idea of “race”.

Yes

No

Yeah, probably but the problem is that some people might want to identify as whatever and I don't think that I get to tell them that they can't do that.

@KingOfMe1 by who? are you retarded?

[OddBeMe]

Historical perspective. Not that hard.

[OddBeMe]

@kingofme1 don’t block him. We need to be able to talk shit

[gorydetails]

Yeah, I can't wait for more brilliance from this brain trust.

[OddBeMe]

I’m your bodyguard who will carry you away from those wanting to rip you limb from limb.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Definitely. It’s all based on appearance and pronunciation, in the case of accents. I can speak several different accents, being a polyglot, but that doesn’t define my ethnicity.

[OddBeMe]

What! You jewslim multilingual chameleon! Lol

[Stoner710]

Yes race is a social construct, we’re all humans I would under stand the idea of race if there were elves and dwarfs fairies etc but humans are humans we are all one race regardless of skin color

[OddBeMe]

Agreed. But things were done based on that shit. Doesn’t mean we forget it.

[Stoner710]

We shouldn’t forget history but what we can do is not to repeat history. Something’s we should repeat like the economic growth of the 1950s and the 1920s. As far as Race goes we should not be repeating that mistake in history. We should focus on merit rather than race. Basically be John Wayne in McClintock

No, god forbid we should make it harder for racists.

[OddBeMe]

Wouldn’t it take away their raison d'etre? Their hate would turn elsewhere prob.

[msc545]

yes of course!
