Is there a superior race?

  • Scientifically, race isn't real. Being white is a mutation that is a result of a vitamin d deficiency. Due to the eve gene we have all been traced back to one woman in Africa. So technically all of humanity was once 'black.' The reason the difference in appearances formed was due to isolated societies over long periods of time. For example Native Americans had no way of repopulating with, say Africans, in the 1400's so the two 'races' couldn't mix. As time goes on, it is very likely that eventually there won't be races at all anymore. Since now, with modern technology, people can live and go just about anywhere. Not just black people live in Africa anymore and not just Native Americans live in America anymore. Humanity is mixing, whether people want it to or not.

    There can't be a superior race if race doesn't exist. We are all human and we all bleed red.

    • Well, Raven, you're half right. Because species aren't real either. There are no humans, no dogs, no rats and no orangutans either. We're just MAMMALS. After all, we all bleed red. Right?

      • The biological definition of race is when two members of the same race can have sex with each other and make a baby. A white person and black person can have a baby together. A cat and a dog cannot have a baby together. What don't you understand about that?

        All humans belong to the same race. The differences we see in skin color and features are only due to ethnicity/culture.

        • I have light skin because of my culture? I did not know that.

          And by your logic, pit bulls and border collies are literally no different.

          • They are both the same species, dog. They can breed.

            • And your point is? Mine is that *NO ONE* SAYS THAT PIT BULLS AND BORDER COLLIES ARE INTERCHANGEABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE INTER-FERTILE.

              They're both dogs, but nonetheless distinct, with their respective places in nature's scheme. As are we.

              • Pit bulls and collies aren't a part of nature's original scheme. Dog breeds are completely man-made.

          • That's a breed. A breed is a sub-species within a species, therefore they can repopulate. Honestly, if you don't believe me you can look this up. There have been multiple studies on this by very creditable sources.

            Also you might want to research taxonomy too, because I think you are confused on what breed, species, and race mean.

            • Yet again, Rave, you're missing the point. Deliberately, I wonder?

          • Okay I think my previous response to you didn't get posted because my computer is being weird, but if it did and you're seeing it twice that's why.

            Pit bulls and border collies are different breeds of the same species. A breed is not the same thing as a race because a breed is a sub-species. They have different genetic material but because they are the same species they can repopulate. Humans don't have breeds/sub-species. Race is appearance and genetic variation, but it isn't a breed. And yes it is related to your culture because it is related to where geographically your ancestors lived.

            As far as us all being mammals, that is our phylum. But if you go farther down the classification system we separate and separate all the way down to species, which is how we are different from dogs, rats, and orangutans.

            Humans are one species with no sub-species, we are all the same.

            If you don't believe me you really should look this up. You should never talk about something you aren't fully informed on, right?

          • Dog breeds are a result of human intervention. 'Unnatural selection' if you like.. They are all the same species, like humans are all the same species, with superficial adaptations to different climates. 'Race' is a completely man-made idea, by people who only saw different skin colour on others.
            If you walk from Europe to the bottom of Africa there is no sudden change.. Skin gradually darkens towards the equator.

            • Just as the gradual extinction of Neanderthals was a result of "natural selection". Dog breeds are a part of natural selection just as humans are a part of natural selection. Would dogs exist without humans? No, but that doesn't mean it still isn't "natural selection".

              Neanderthals and modern humans could interbreed very easily.

              Neither are classified as the exact same species...

              If you honestly believe that the species of humans you would encounter on your walk through Europe are the same as the species of humans you encounter on your walk through Africa, you are very wrong.

            • My point is that human races, like dog breeds, are distinct and thus worthy of preservation.

      • I'm surprised you hadn't brought up a book called The Bell Curve that'd get you BANNED in a heartbeat...

        • .....Whoa, good point.

          I'm going to think about what you said; it's indeed very profound.

      • Aw thanks!! It's something my mom always told me growing up, and I don't think it applies just to the color of your skin or to humans. I think it's more about how we all feel pain. There's about a million things you can apply it to, but the most common one is race just because I think some people think that if you are one 'race' and not the other you are lesser and your pain doesn't matter. Or it's forgotten that they feel pain at all.
