In your little racist mind this is probably true, in the real world no. I'm a black woman and I am proud to be a black woman. Many black women won't even date outside their race.
Yeah we want the privileges, equal treatment, job and education opportunity, but that's every race that has been oppressed by whites.
Lol. You call someone a racist then proceed to be overtly racially offensive.
This f'ing country of ours...
(fyi, because you are so quick on your racist witch hunt, I do believe you completely missed the OP's point. Talk about cutting off your hand to spite your face)
Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode about this? Except is was a place for old people to become young again. Didn't turn out too well.
Anyway, no I wouldn't. I suspect in the future we will have designer babies, pick and choose. Oh yay.
NO, it was Twilight Zone the movie. A man was traveling around to nursing home and gave all the old people a chance to be young again. It was really good.
But there was also, in same movie ( 4 of them all together made twilight zone the movie ), a man who was very racist. He hated Jews, blacks, Mexicans ...anybody who wasnt white Christian. He all of a sudden, after entering twilight zone, found himself chased by the Gestapo, the KKK and so on. He had to wear their shoes.
A friend of mine posed an interesting question. Imagine if a machine existed which allowed you to change your racial makeup and/or gender. I am guessing that over 90 percent of black people would chane their race, while probably less than 2 percent of whites would.
This speaks volumes, because one can clearly see that there are substantial benefits attributed to being white. Despite so called affirmative action programs which supposively benefit minorities, most would still prefer to just be white. I'm a black woman, and if given the opportunity, I'd want to become a white man, for obvious reasons (I.e., being viewed as an individual, white privilege, and to garner the ultimate respect that white men are given throughout the world). LoL I'm however willing to bet that no white man would want to become a black woman.
#1 - The concept of race is a man made phenomenon with zero foundation in any concrete scientific basis.
#2 - Anyone, who believes "race" is a VALID concept with regard to classifying humans is ignorant.
#3 - Study anthropology to enlighten yourself about WHO HUMAN BEINGS ARE AND HOW WE CAME TO BE!
Didn't the OP ever read the Sneetches from Dr. Suess?
The blacks would change to white, the whites would become black, the blacks would change again, the Mexicans would put stars on their bellies, the Asian would remove their stars.
Then no one would remember who the hell was what or who had stars on thars...
Seriously, do we need philosophical discussions about a subject solved by Dr. Suess? Lol...

Yup. I always say that in my next life I want to come back as a black women, with a beautiful singing voice & musical ability.

You guess a number and then figure it speaks volumes?
