It's part of the everything solving equation. ;).

Why is + from how many time = all life is the result of what could survive best.
I can predict the future easily now :laughing1:

Hah! Racism is probably just one step past the bickering and sarcasm in these threads.
Thank all of you who have contributed opinions.
Races are not so different for one another as they think they are. There are certain biological differences, but by and large we are all the same; we eat, drink, sleep, dream, wish, feel, think, bleed when wounded, suffer when deprived, fear when threatened. We would do well to embrace our commonalities and respect each other as fellow human beings.
What difference does it really make if we discard the old ways and change with the times as long as we retain our capacities as humans?

It doesn't matter actually. Those who embrace this new progressive phenomenon have already lowered their birthing outputs and are slowly removing themselves from the " life is the result of what could survive best equation"

Resulting in racism continuing because those that are not will have weaken their survival outputs chances.

And that's why racism will not die out.

In other words, the universe doesn't give a fu€k if you're social justice is politically correct or not ;)

Some questions popped into my mind while watching the U.S. memorial of Pearl Harbor today.
It is 71 years since the Japanese surrendered due the Atomic bombing of two of their cities. After those 71 years America and Japan are allies and on friendly terms.


Comparatively, it is 153 years since slavery was officially abolished in the U.S. After those 153 years Black Americans still harbor resentment and hatred.


It is 256 years since France ceded Canada to the British. After those 256 years French Canadians still harbor resentment and hatred.


There are very few people still living who were alive in the 1940s. The majority of today's population either don't know what happened or are unconcerned about it.
There are certainly no people still living who remember the Battle of Quebec which ended in 1760 giving the British control of what was then Canada. Many generations have passed since then who had nothing to do with and little knowledge of how Canada came into British control.
There are also many generations passed since the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 abolished slavery.


So why is resentment and hatred still alive and contributing to racial tensions? Are some races more forgiving and forward thinking than others? Do some races pass their hatred on through their children while others encourage their children to stay with the times they are living in? Or is it an individual choice by which optimistic people put history behind them and look to a brighter future while others are more negative and live in the past, always fearful and suspicious?

Japan is and has been a n occupied country. That;s not a good relationship. It's the reward of mass murder. Must we look forward to good relationships with our conquerors?

So our natural instincts need to be brainwashed to not be racist. Point and case. Things that are racist have a higher chance of survival then things that do not. See how that was easy.

Actually history tells us the opposite. Cultures that have engaged in peaceful contact gain through exchange of goods and ideas, enriching both cultures. Unfortunately, such peaceful contact has been rare in human history. Instead most cultures have engaged in brutal acts of war, which is always an expensive and wasteful event.

Yes, the alternative of overpopulation and destruction of the world by over polluting our survival resources is so much better.

Like I've said. You guys are to stupid to see the bigger picture of the universe.

Did you think the universe made us the way we are just for fun? We are aggressive instinctively by design. Those that were not have not survived.

It is a nessesary evil.

In The same way a fire in the forest is actually good for it.

Japan isn't occupied. It is protected by the presence of allied forces. Because at the end of the war Japan signed an agreement not to have a standing army and so cannot adequately protect themselves from aggressors.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not abolish slavery. The Thirteenth Amendment did.

Mandatory racial discrimination was the law in large parts of the United States until a series of court cases and laws 1954-1976 ended it.

Between 1865 and 1964, over five thousand black Americans were lynched. I'm sure you see that as a sign of black people hating white people. Many people are not only alive today, but in the workforce today, who were in the workforce when mandatory discrimination was the law.

And I'm sure you think white people are pure as the driven snow, and harbor no racial animus of any kind.

I'd love to hear your explanation of how black people are to blame for Dylann Roof murdering nine black worshippers in the church in South Carolina.

I think the current concept of racism, that which propels the movements of political correctness, affirmative action, black lives matter.. is that racism is systemic and enculturated into our society.

That's not really true, there is racism. But the concept of race is not a bioligical one, it is a cultural one. People identify with cultural attributes and heritage, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Racism has become a political vehicle which demands that it become pernicious form of engrained bigotry. There is a small, very angry group that has latched on to that. But, for the most part people are just trying to get along with differences between and amongst races and cultures. That has been aggravated by political agendas that relies of division and mutual suspicion, to attain and maintain power.
