But I've learned to let small minds be small, so that's that. [/quote] Nearly every conflict in the history of this world has been racial or religious. [/quote] Because race was how societies were separated and people categorized, but race itself was not the catalyst for conflict in most cases. So to say that racial differences make people incompatible is a failure to fully comprehend the role of race in society. [/quote] So I guess you think that if you can totally dissolve those categories then everything will be fine. Except people aren't blind, nor stupid, and furthermore the liberal utopia just won't work. Sorry, begin looking for another solution, yours is a waste of fucking time. [/quote] I didn't offer any solutions. You don't seem to be able to read what's written. [/quote] Well by what you wrote I am assuming you blame the categories themselves for creating the conflicts so I am guessing you wish to get rid of them in order for conflict to be no more, I.e abolishing the concept of race. correct me if I am wrong. [/quote] You're wrong, I keep saying this over and over. Race as a category is just how we identify people. The human mind likes to categorize. But race isn't what causes conflict, other belief systems and economic interests cause conflict and will always cause conflict. You can't get rid of racial categories because we've all been taught to identify others by race, the best you can do is realize that it is just a category, and you cannot apply general attributes to individuals based on your perception of the category.

Is it time to sit at the negotiating table? Maybe not under these exact terms but find an accord?
