“People imagine that people have always thought about skin colour in this racialised way, and we really haven’t.”
Is there any biological basis for categorising humans by race?

There are people who debate whether Jesus was white or black and when I point out that he lived 15 centuries prior to the creation of the concept of white and black people they are shocked to find this out. In the time of Jesus a person's race was based on what language they spoke- not what they looked like. People are also surprised to learn that Israel is in Asia (but of course continents are a social construct also and people argue about how many continents there are).

Listen Muhammad Ali, when a human dies and their skeletal remains are found there are always three distinct skeletal remains of what we know to be Homo Sapien Sapien. And that is Caucasian, Oriental and Negroid. This is also determined by scientific genetic testing of dna markers. These are concrete evidences that race distinctions are real and not a myth as these charlatan liars assume and want to propagate their nonsensical ideologies to the feeble minded.

Language is a social construct, does that make it any less of a reality? Even if race was entirely a social construct, what is the problem if some people identify as one thing, and some as another? Just as some people speak one language and some speak another. The only difference in this anology though is that the evidence for race is staring you right in the eyes whereas language is but a sound in your ear.

As I said, even if race is entirely social, the historical and modern record provides the evidence that humans identify themselves in groups based on their physical characteristics. A nation is an extended family based on shared ancestry I.E blood ties. The word Nation has lost its meaning in the modern multiracial societies we find ourselves in within the Western world. However, the host nations (or races) within the West are still here and they know who is their kin and who is not. Perhaps the multiracial democracies day's are numbered.

I am 60 years old with a university education, grew up in a very politically liberal family and have black friends and relatives. Yet it was only a few years ago when i read a few books on human genetics that I first learned that race was cultural rather than biological. Now it seems obvious to me and the evidence of it is overwhelming and consistent. There are two things I never knew growing up and was never taught in school but should have been at an early age. Number one: race is a social construct. Number two: all maps are inaccurate because there is no way to faithfully show a three dimensional object on a two dimensional surface.

@@TallisKeeton idk why we need race but since it’s here, I know to be considered blk in America is anyone with obvious west African ethnic and unless u directly from a white parent for example, you automatically seen as blk. Many blk Americans have a quarter + European ancestry and I don’t blame ppl who don’t know anyone so blame it on slavery of course but many know at least a great grandparent, which imo I thought y not accept it because how can u guess at that point. Overall many ppl mixed but In America, but that’s our race view on blk and u have ppl mixed with indigenous with background from Mexico, and identify as their nationality as a race, so it’s always a argument based on who’s considered mixed or not and what culture u have. I’m blk American but I only see it as a social construct and eventually America (USA) will have to become one culture or else it will get worse and again it’s not just blk, but instead yt Asian blk and other ppl identifying by nationality from a Spanish speaking background. I know other places have a culture but the melting pot would have to be melted at a certain point, which it already is imo. We will have to become one culture as the USA 🇺🇸, and hopefully get some race logic in America so it’s understood it’s a social construct because I know outside America many ppl identifying as Hispanic and blk would fall under mixed box until they a certain %(75%+ is considered full I think) because it’s sad how many sub labels ppl have in America. I came across videos like this when I realized nobody know what full blk or yt is because I see ppl in dna vids say both their parents blk but test show 60/40 and it’s automatically said slavery and she not half because her/his parents blk but on the other hand a person with a white parent is half. See how the logic pretty much blk is tainted with west African and unless u directly from a white or Asian parent then u blk. I’m just showing the confusion in the logic of ppl who say it’s one drop rules and apparently everyone is all these races. Me personally who of course is blk by race view, I would have my kids accept their mix and understand it’s a social construct and y we say blk(if my lady is in the blk box/remember anyone even with a white parent automatically labeled as blk box).

There are definitely distinct racio-ethnic-groups and a definite sense of blackness (not least because of the distinct experiences of racism historically-directed towards black people specifically) but calling white people “white” hasn’t sat too-well with me of late. It would be a fallacy to pretend that we’re all exactly-the same (and there are biological differences beyond skin-complexion per se) but I feel like the division’s over-accentuated by people at times and you get black people who are so anti-white that they see them all as incipient Karens and Harleys and would rather not work/associate with them and I do understand where that comes from (especially if you’ve experienced a lot of racial trauma) but some of the division/passive hostility (I won’t call it reverse-hostility because that would just-be stupid and ‘disproportionate’) in general just seems to go a bit too-far. It’s a tricky one.

For example, money is a social construct. That must be baffling for you, but once you figure that out you can figure out race.

The fact that in the modern world almost all people are mixed, it does not change the fact that humans evolved in different races. Stop this nonsense. Of course there are races. Just like dog breeds are very different from each other and we can call those a different races from the same Species. We are the same species but not necessairly the same race. A pitbull and a chihuahua are more different than a Chinese and and Sub-saharan African but the dogs can have races we don't?

All humans originated in Africa. And we all look different. But our ancestors mixed at some point and those genes can be pulled onto the next generation at any given time.

There are a lot of races. that have dark skin and coarse hair with no recent ancestors from Africa. Europeans used to have dark skin 8000 years ago because they originated in Africa too.

2:10 Don't forget in Darwin's Decent of Man Chapter 7 he said "I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilised man… Viewing such men, one can hardly make oneself believe that they are fellow-creatures, and inhabitants of the same world. It is a common subject of conjecture what pleasure in life some of the lower animals can enjoy: how much more reasonably the same question may be asked of these barbarians!" He also alluded to this at the end of the Origin of Species. This is the reason why you still have people to this day associating people with dark skin as being closer to apes. Or why calling someone with dark skin to a monkey is considered offensive. It came from Darwin's theory. Doesn't matter if other people say today it is not true and we have moved past that. The memetics have already spread because of that theory and will continue with its existence. It is like a virus of the mind that can only be cured by truth, (if people were only willing). Stephen Jay Gould- "Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory. The litany is familiar: cold, dispassionate, objective, modern science shows us that races can be ranked on a scale of superiority. If this offends Christian morality or a sentimental belief in human unity, so be it; science must be free to proclaim unpleasant truths. But the data were worthless. We never have had, and still do not have, any unambiguous data on the innate mental capacities of different human groups- a meaningless notion...."

Overt manifestations of racism may have been recent in history but its presence in the sub-conscious part of the humans is considerably an old phenomenon. Edward Said's Orientalism traces its representation in the European texts over the centuries. Before that, the interaction of the humans from different continents was minimal which explains the scarcity of the evidence of its presence in the earlier eras. Anyhow, it is a very useful video about the topic of Racism. I give you 3.5/5 marks.

Race is subjective- just as the categories are. They differ over time and by location. The US Census changes the race categories offered to choose from every time they conduct it. The 2020 Census offered fourteen choices for race (none of which was Hispanic/ Latino). People get confused by the newspapers and other media stories about the changing racial demographics of the USA. The articles talk about the portion of Americans that are white but if you read carefully you often find that they really mean non- hispanic whites rather than whites in total.

The inconvenient truth is that there is a biological/racial hierarchy in the human species. In terms of intelligence, conscientiousness, behavior, etc races (on average) differ drastically in these measurements on a genetic level. That is the reason for different outcomes. But the poor, impulsive, and irrational will always be the majority as the intelligent, wise, and temperate will always be the few. The poor, impulsive, irrational group is much easier to persuade and influence, that is why the western world caters to those groups politically. Anyone who opposes such belief is deemed evil, hateful, etc. which is the best way to formulate public opinion to support an ideology.

I can't tell from a persons DNA whether a third person will consider them to be white, black or something else. It's like being tall.
