Race

Race is one of those topics that is must discussed but little understood. Race is genetic. The genetic material provides the mental picture that whatever is different is bad. This intrinsic vision of acceptance is why humans and animals babies inprint the faces of their mothers. This is common human nature.

What we consider race is several thousand years old. In the millenniums past, races were divided by national and ethnically differences such as Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian and Nubians. Hundreds of years after the fall of Rome when humans looked to skin color as differences of race. After the death of Muhammad did race became tied with race. If you were white many would consider you a Christian. If you were black or in the many shades of black many would assume you were a Muslim. Only those that lived along the borders between Christian and Muslim knew the only difference between them was skin color.

In the last decades of the previous century, it is habitual to see those of different skin as alien, corrupt and evil. Today, we are slowly beginning to see all humans as equals. This change has had problems,  it still does and will in the near future. This change, however cannot be forced. Force always meets resistance. Time is necessary for permanent change.

In conclusion, a few aspects of my comment are simplified. Please do your own research.
