Grendel,
In my idealistic opinion on Post racism life, all people will be seen as part of the HUMAN RACE together as one people, not divided by biological or physical attributes. I believe that dividing by race is wrong when it is forced upon a group, and when groups do it to themselves.
I understand the History. I know (a decent amount) of sociological theory on the subject. I know that civil rights for people of color pretty much didn't exist until way too recently and racial stereotypes and hate still exist among all races, all over the world but how can you say that allowing division of a group of people by race and or being okay when they divide themselves IS OK but believing a group should have no reason to divide because every single person is seen as inherently equal to each other is not?
Isn't that the end result? complete and total equality for all people?
I know this goes directly against your sociological beliefs but how can dividing a group for ANY reason help it in the grand scheme of things?
Is it not a much more beautiful picture seeing white, brown, yellow, young, old, queer, straight, fat, skinny, homeless, college grads, cops, anarchists, democrats and republicans all standing together united for one incredibly important cause all over the world?
your thoughts?
