Leftists are big on race, usually to get their daily racism fix and to fill their virtue-signalling quota. This leftists behavior always puzzled me because I always thought parents were supposed to be teaching their children that it is bad, not instilling it in their children. Maybe those parents didn't love their children and that's what caused them to become leftists, who knows?

So ... what is a "race" anyway? Is it nothing more than some superficial appearance? What can I tell my children is the best method for determining their individual races?

Maybe race is just a social construct and maybe anyone could "feel" like they are any race and then people would have to go along with no matter how fucked up it is.

Genetically, there's no such thing. Most human differences are cultural.

Both Kapernick and Obama are over 50% "white" yet each identifies as "black". It's a cultural thing, not a genetic thing.

Race is a political and social construct that is fluid. Racial categorization can change over time, place, and context. Race has been used historically to establish a social hierarchy, whereby individuals are treated differently resulting in racism. Genomic scientists are currently investigating the relationship between self-identified race and genetic ancestry. There is more genetic variation within self-identified racial groups than between them. I like Professor Audrey Smedley's definition. She states, “Race is a culturally structured systematic definition of a way of looking at perceiving and interpreting reality.”

It is a social construct. More specifically, it's cultural.

Im not sure how anyone could love you?

Don't answer here just be honest with yourself. Oh wait, you need morals and a conscience to be honest with yourself so forget I asked.

The ironic thing is how many JPP members whine about my daily post count yet think 1) I have time for socks and 2) that I'm such a fucking genius I can keep the accounts straight without ever making a mistake.

Sybil makes little mistakes all the time as do most sock puppeteers. This is one of my favorite examples:

More interesting to me is that Sybil staunchly believes he doesn't have any socks. That's a clear indication of psychosis. RB 60 got very upset when I made the connection between him and his sock Stringfellow Hawk, but Sybil is nonplussed. Sure, he gets a little irritated but then he goes back to talking to himself. It truly is fascinating.

FWIW, Friday and Saturday nights is the best time to go sock hunting. Three guesses why. LOL
