To most scientists, the term "race" is not applicable to human animals. The term race is a word coined by political extremists to control the behavior of those with whom they disagree.
There is a mind set that many of us don't like, that we call racist. It would be helpful if we could refrain from using this undefinable word (the Census can't even define the word without offending some group)
Instead, lets think about using the word "culture", which is much more accurate. The problem that some will have is that they won't be able to exploit visually observable differences between humans.
The result is that MORE of us will be humanized and it will take away the hate and control that some of us want over others who disagree with us. The word "race " is really a state of mind to the observer and at times to the observed.
Does anyone want to tell Tiger Woods what "race" he is? There are many examples. I am not on any list or category for any ethnicity, but am offensively labeled by those wit minimal knowldege. It does not matter. So why the labels.
If necessary, the politicians among us could label others for their/our behavior instead of an undefinable visible mark or identification.

Continued- The birthplace of anyone does NOT imply race. How can this be? Are South Africans "black" because they live in Pretoria? NO. Are people who live in Pretoria African-Americans? Yes.
These inconsistencies and ignorant assumptions only serve to divide us and allow some of us to define and control us based on THEIR undefinable definitions of us. The real "racism:" that I see is the use of the word in ANY human context. Let biologists have their word back, and lets redefine ourselves as simply people who have different behaviors?!

LOL, kind of timely: 18 yr. veteran decides to throw away his admirable career due to his 'birther' belief. Nice move, doc.

Obama's black father was born in Kenya.
Obama'a white mother was born in America.
Barack was born in Honolulu. A half breed.
Kenya uses Barack Obama for their bragging rights. Their media revers him. They selfishly don't consider him to be an American but a Kenyon. Kenya blame them?
If Obama's father had been Mexican, Â then Mexico would claim that he was the first Mexican president. This is cultural egocentricity. Not a conspiracy.
Technically, our fearless leader is half Causacian and half British Kenyon.
Both his parents were very educated, each, unfortunately, Â with numerous spouses and divorces. Both are deceased before their time. His mother died of uterine cancer in Honolulu, his father in a car accident. Apparently mom had a taste for dark meat. (no offense to my rapper peeps)
Barack himself is a life long bleeding heart liberal.
The birther movement is basically centered in the far right's disgust of interacial marriage, and this is their chance to play their own form of race card.
White America will never permit slaves to run the plantation. Blue bloods don't monkey around. They call a spade a spade. They actually want to curdle the bloods.They will not tolerate half breeds. They never have, going back to the Euorpean settlers mixing with the filthy savages called Kiowas, Apaches, Comanches, etc.
These are the roots of of the problem.
It Congo on like this if America is to survive.
