Think about it this way breh
Do you think If it was discovered that Jesus Christ was indeed a Black Man (or any other race) would your average white majority congregation worship a black Jesus?
Or if Mohammed turned out to be a black man(or any other race) would Arab Muslims (Hell even black Muslims) accept that?
Religions like Christianity preach equality and tolerance but the Christian part of America; the south, is also stereotypicaly portrayed as the most racist.
my brother there is no most racist racist is racist your opressor will do and say anything to slave you u gotta understand slavery wasnt meant to stop it was meant to keep going 500 years is along time bro christanity is not about being submissive to no one but GOD so who do cacs portray jESUS to look like them there is no way jesus can be whit but they use that to slave your mind body and soul for slavery to last forever

I don't let my race define my character. Also, while I don't allow my race define who I am, there are other people who don't know me it all may define my persona base on my race. The stereotypical image of the black man that is broadcast in the media are used to define every person's character in the black race. You can label yourself different from the pack if you want, but the non-blacks will likely, may be intentional or unintentionally, define your character with racial profiling.
It doesn't completely define me or dominate me completely but being an Irish catholic is part of who I am. If I wasn't I'd likely have totally different views on the world.
And you should always look out for people who are in the same race/culture as you. I was taught that we have to look out for each other because no one else will.

It's not an argument it is a social construct period.
Those are facts
There are no differences besides susceptibility to certain health problems superficial things like looks.
Everything else is manufactured by man.

You are defined by your ethnicity via your existence alone. Your family (and extended family, meaing your ethnicity) programs your personality, traits, responses, etc. So the lens by which you view the world is structured by your ethnicity and to a greater extent by humanity. You will never know what it is like to live outide your body and experience a life outside of being black and a woman because that is all you know. A middle class white man, likewise, has the same experience. You experience the world through that constellation, even when you are not cognizant of doing so. This goes beyond social and political, which are not decoupled and distinct from ethnicity either.
