"In general, species interbreed. It's mutations that adapt to the environment that evolve species, not interbreeding.
Sorry it was suppose to be "don't interbreed", still maybe no more less disturbing.

Work with me here, I'm just proposing a question, something more than the usual Palin thread.

I'm not sure. I'm thinking it would be perception.Maybe darker skin left a stigmata of slave laborer or lighter skin left the stigmata of unhealthy, maybe even hemophiliac.

You really think a "social" schooling or the abolition of religion will get rid of the differences we have? What IQ level will people realize it's just us and the planet, no gods? If they do realize that, what's to keep the planet from anarchy?
you do understand that black people, white people etc. Are all the same species right?
Of course. I also understand there are underlying things that drive psychologies of different races. It appears you knocked your brain our of your ear.

Don't worry about it, I still understood your point, I think.

I honestly would love to work with you on a conceptual argument, the only problem is that your hypothesis is so off that there isn't much to work with.

Well I'm absolutely positive that darker skin had no such stigmata until the attempt to rationalize racism in the 18th century when pseudo scientist developed an "biological" construct of race.

I would never call for the abolition of religion, and even if I would I don't think that would be the answer unless I could pick and choose which sects to abolish.. but I digress. Yes, I do believe that proper education in the biological sciences would go a long ways in solving a great deal of our problems. As for the IQ level needed to realize that it is just on this planet I sometime think that the idiot savant is leagues ahead of most of the population.
As for no gods to keep the planet from being in a state of anarchy? Humans did pretty damned well before the invention of religion.
In general, species don't interbreed. It's mutations that adapt to the environment that evolve species, not interbreeding.
So is prejudice built into our DNA, maybe as a survival technique?
Is it possible to ever understand this and move past it?
America is the first real experiment of the mingling of races, it's no surprise it's rather tenacious and vitriolic.
Wow. First of all, your suggestion that prejudice would be a "survival technique" is highly dubious and unscientific - to put it mildly. Furthermore, you have no evidence that prejudice is even a genetic characteristic. So basically, your entire premise seems to be pretty misguided. It appears to be a veiled attempt to broadcast some of your personal beliefs.
