the title.. I had forgotten to put one in as I was writing it... so sue me.

anyways

As I was looking at the question I had posted.. and my answer.. I think that I still needed to address the last part of it. "Why has the notion of race persisted, long after it has been shown to lack any explanatory power? " It is this part I am sure that still bugs me.

What is racism? Can racists also be ‘nice people’? Why has the notion of race persisted, long after it has been shown to lack any explanatory power?

what I have so far.... Racism, defined as a racial prejudice, usually includes the belief that people differ in aptitudes and abilities based on their nationality. - Being racist does not necess ...[text shortened]... racist, makes that social discrimination by race justifiable.

Dont be silly. I sit at Starbucks all day with no life what so ever. All I do is write poetry and mathamatic equations on napkins. Fun Stuff.

Better then being a car salesman. At least you probably don't have to pay 3.50$ for a cup of coffee like the rest of us do.

Racism first reared its ugly head in the 19th century with a misinterpretation of Darwins theory of evolution. This misinterpretation saw the West as more evolutionary advanced than the non-West, as “the human brain was seen as having been gradually enlarged by the accumulative experience of the civilising process” (Stocking 1992: 351). This as well as colonialism led to racism, eventually this mis-deed will be undone until then we're stuck with it!

P.S Britain's and America's propaganda of the middle east as some kind of 'other' doesn't help matters 🙁

I think racism goes back a "little" further than that.
