cpK69 -> Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 2:40:47 PM)
How many races are there in the human race? Why are we racing; what’s the hurry? What are we racing toward? Some questions that popped into my head, while reading some recent threads, I felt a need to ask. Kim

Termyn8or -> RE: Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 2:46:33 PM)
We seem to be racing to extinction. See who gets there first. T^T

cpK69 -> RE: Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 3:48:22 PM)
What about the instinct to survive; have we given up? Kim

sunshinemiss -> RE: Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 3:49:59 PM)
You forgot the rat race. As an aside, have you seen the History channel's series on Life After People? really fascinating.

smiles You’re right, I did forget about that. If we are busy being rats, could it be because we have not quite grasped how to be human? Yes, I have watched that. I felt the same, and a little saddened; but, yeah, definitely a cool show. : D Kim

Do you think the idea would go viral, if passed along on something as simple as a bumper sticker? We don’t seem to be getting it. Perhaps these days, a video posted on youtube would be more appropriate. Feels like, all this running is just getting us to the end that much faster Kim

Only 1.... I didn't read Marc2b before, or would have said, what he said. M

quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 How many races in the human race? Two answers. One, and 6.71 billion. Why are we racing; what’s the hurry? We are all going to die. What are we racing toward? In this country, money. pam

quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 How many races are there in the human race? Until we meet another sentient species as many as people feel like separating themselves into. quote: Why are we racing; what’s the hurry? We are not "racing." You are using two definitions for the same term. However, we do seem to have this amazing ability to create groups of ourselves in "us" and "them." quote: What are we racing toward? A reason. A reason for why things are the way they are. A reason why we are here. A purpose also. quote: Some questions that popped into my head, while reading some recent threads, I felt a need to ask. Kim I hope that my answers helped.

There are three, negroid, caucasoid, mongoloid.

SexyBossyBBW -> RE: Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 9:11:59 PM)
You are wrong (but I'm not counting the times). There is only one race... At least, that's what I read at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural history, the last time I was there. M

Muttling -> RE: Your Race; My Race; The Human Race (3/26/2011 9:15:11 PM)
Before I saw this, I posted a similar question on my face book. What is up with all these silly labels? Libyans and Egyptians are African, not Middle Eastern or Arabian like Saudi's, Iraqi's, Iranians.....oh wait......Iranians might be Asians. And what they heck are the Kurds????? When will we get away from labels and start seeing people as people instead of a label or a color??????? Observations such as these are what I really love about the community. It is o'k for me to say "I like you, but that's not my kink" and no one will think twice about it. When will the rest of the world learn to get away from labels and to simply look at the person?

quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 How many races are there in the human race? One. quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 Why are we racing; what’s the hurry? Evolution, happiness and personal fulfillment. Time is relative and proportionate to age and death is gradually accelerating towards us. Thing is death doesn't exist until it happens. quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 What are we racing toward? It is the nature of God (or whatever) to create the unknown out of infinity and the nature of Man to make the unknown known. Each of us is racing towards an objective of some sort in our lives inspired by what we learn and a thirst for knowledge and experience. However, collectively, together with everything else in the Universe and the Universe itself, we are racing towards infinity. When you understand that everyone is mad and life is crazy it all makes sense.

And you're as wrong on that as you are on GCC. They were still teaching these three "races" when I took Sociology years and years ago. I would argue there is just one race. If we were truly different "races", one wouldn't be able to reproduce with either of the other two, would they?

Pops is regurgitating that 19th century bullshit that the Eugenecists promulgated. I really don't even think he's capable of understanding genetics. I know he's incapable of understanding climate science.
