It took the western world ( i.e. law,norms, and mores of western, and eastern Europe )centuries to use the practice of global eclecticism to formulate a workable cultures that present white people as being superior to all other homo sapiens.The concept of whiteness was invented, created, and cultivated over hundreds of years.The problem with this concept is the fact that this false concept is not supported genetically.In time, the inherent genetic order of things, especially the revelation of dominant and recessive genes will once again assume their natural orders.The black genes are superior to all other recessive genealogy in the universe, and this is by God’s design.

Thank you for taking the time to put together this well written, thought-provoking article. I have often thought about the terms Black/White and how they are used, in particular, in the US and as you discuss how they have been used to marginalize darker skinned non-European featured people. I think your observation that the definition of White can be expanded is a crucial point in this discussion. Non-European Immigrants coming to this country have been marginalized but over time they have been able to shake off the stereotypes and become more accepted into society. (Notice I said more, not completely). Immigrants understand that to have the best chance to succeed they must not associate too closely with African Americans (Blacks), except when they are in trouble then their issues become “our” issues. Also, in countries around the world even if they don’t use the terms Black and White you can see that the lighter skinned people tend to have the better jobs and the darker skinned people tend to have more menial labor jobs. This can be seen in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, but also in Asian Countries. I agree with your article in that removing Color from the vocabulary is a great start but only a start to address the issue of inequality based upon skin color and features. But any tag of identification with Africa still carries the burden of institutionalized racism and will for the foreseeable future.

In reply to DWELMA ANDERSON.

WOW! I have not seen read a narrative like this in my lifetime, and I am glad to see this conversation started. During the 1970’s I would often say” Color Me Human”. because at that time I became so tired of the color or so-called ” Race Identity. I would often use the phrase ” Please Color me Human” Yes, I was involved in the so-called “Black Liberation Movement”. However, depending on who you were talking with there were so many ideologies of what being black was considered. I would often feel that to be black was ill-defined. Either you weren’t so-called “Black Enough, or you were “Too Black” That was during the early days of the “Black Panther Party”. So, I am glad we are finally at this point. Also, I too see no reason for having so-called race on any applications. So, Please “Color me HUman!

there is something called narrative. It is the power source that dominates the political, social and economical platform of how the worlds power structure apply the formidable structure thought exemplified by power and politics. It is a white male claim to ultimate authority, while controlling the power of the narrative

To Whom It May Concern. My thought for the past 40 years has been “everyone has a nationality, and we have a color from the crayon box. I think black and white should be removed from all employment applications. This issue is far bigger than this day can handle or is willing to confront. Thank You for your article.
