Good morning my friends,
It's been awhile since my last post.  
So much life and so many events... they sure keep you busy.

Question:  Will racism ever die or are we stuck with it until all humans become "homogenized"?  The physical differences are very real and our visual dominance in our lifestyles is undeniable.  We operate so much on what we see - recent events around the world show us that we will still depend on what we see as our primary means of evaluating someone else.  
Asians have the eyes and darker skin, African (and African Americans) have their dark skin and features, Caucasians have their variety, and there are many, many more variations in our species.  Survival and bonding are primary motivators for identifying friends from foes.  Certainly it was valid for many millenia.  But, do we still have to use Race as the source for personal judgements and hate, fear and apprehension?  
Someday perhaps we can get past all this, but I think it will be many years from now.
