    I agree 100%. The answer is that people are dumb and like tribalism so they keep it going. Anyone that thinks perpetuating division will result in progress is an idiot, and frankly identity politics are a distraction from real issues like poverty

      Poverty is a real issue in America that is also often influenced by race. Race is a real issue in itself that has many different facets.

        Racism is a real issue, race is made up and needs to go away. If we divide people arbitrarily using a skin color chart, we’re encouraging people’s minds to see differences where there aren’t and feeding the beast that is racism. We need to recognize the effects of racist behavior, but not play their game

          I hate to be the person to burst your bubble but racism isn’t going anywhere no matter how much people wish it would. Tribalism is heavily ingrained in humanity, people will always separate themselves into us and them. Pretending those differences don’t exist won’t solve the issue
