Race: Are we so different?

[Cherry]

Had the opportunity to see this exhibit in person, just thought I'd share the site.

Skin color, one of our most visible physical features, has long been used to divide people into racial categories. Anthropologist Nina Jablonski, Ph.D. theorizes that variations in human skin are adaptive traits that correlate closely to geography and the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, not race.

I do look at black Indians from being from another race entirely.

race and skin colour are not the same thing.

one race if placed in different environments will develop different skin colours and hair types as adaptations.

Nope, we are not really that different as human beings....blood of all the world's races are red, we all have bones and organs that helps the human body to function. We also have a heart that is the source of life and a soul which has no form and will never die............. :mrgreen:

Oh, if only we could see all of these things under the different 'skin hues' we exhibit life would be so wonderful; but alas none of us are inside out, so we've got to continue to deal with the perceptions that go along with the different skin tones :P

In my beliefs we are really the Spirit, the body is only temporary because it came from teh elements and will go back to teh elements. The Spirit is the same in all...therefore we are all the same, we are all one.

That is absolutely true.....our time here in the physical realm is only temporary and we have another life to live when we leave the physical realm. In the meantime, as religion would say, prepare for that life and not this one.

They are from another race, entirely. You have a problem with that?

O.K. then. Well explain why it is always the case that when I ask a black Indian to go out they always opt to go to TGI Friday’s, Ruby Tuesday, and some expensive place etc. whereas any other, would always prefer to go to a reasonably priced place. Something is wrong some where.

Now my Indian brother, why would I have a problem with that :D

LOL...well I am a fair-skinned Indian and I love to go to Ruby Tuesdays for their baked potato. :D It's so yummy and one of it fills me up. :mrgreen: I think some of the Indian folks from the older generation who toiled really hard in their young days...they are very careful with how they spend money and they might prefer not to go to these places.

LOL...if I carried my grandfather there for a baked potato he will say, "How much fuh a aloo? Yuh jus buy one and bake it and put some butter and yuh buy dis creamy thing dey puttin in it...yuh go come out much cheaper." :mrgreen:

[Gagamell]

Who cares? Like the Gangster 'Dutch' in the movie Hoodlum said.....'White money, n**ger money, it all ends up being the same thing....MY Money." :lol: The only colours that are important are the colours of the different denominations of the different currencies. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just allowing themselves to be a tool of the well to do in their long aged game of divide to rule.

In a world that's becoming increasingly smaller due to globalisation, you still have the privillege and honor of laying your own bed? Congratulations man...what district are you from....Mars?

Guy,

So what are you trying to say? Tell me, don't be ashamed of anything.

[blit105]

Trinidadians are the most f-ed up people.

You can take the Indians out, get them drunk and beat their arse thereafter.

You can take the Africans out, feed them until their belly’s are full, and beat their arse thereafter.

The girls are so materialistic, money hungry etc. hopefully they like licks as much as money.

What I could recommend for all-yuh is some good proper licks. And don’t contemplate crying, because lick is dispensed for crying as well. Look at licks as being good for all-yuh. The more all-yuh get the better.

[blit105]

Trinidadians are the best race on the earth. I tried my best to mis-spell earth.
