Today I finally sat down and laid out my thoughts on the "race" question - one that is tearing our society apart. What do you guys think?

Obviously most any case against racism is a good case. I don't need to read a long article by some woke Atlas poster to know that it's unacceptable to hate people because of the color of their skin or where they're from.

A fine essay, but alas, people do identify with (and against) race and ethnicity in large numbers, and that makes it more difficult for those who don't want to do that, to be as easily able not to do it. If someone has tribal instincts that is going to affect are you interrelate with such an individual.  But in a more perfect world such characteristics would not be used as a filter to judge people, rather than take the time to get to know them personally with an open mind.

Many people simply want to hate each other for any reason. You may try until your last breath to change that but you can't, and I can't, and nobody else can either.
