EXCELLENT QUESTION!\n\nI find it funny when people say they don't care what color God is but still say what color they BELIEVE He is. I personally am not concerned with what color GOD is. He has appeared in the Bible as a burning bush, as the voice in silence, as a dove, etc. Even in determining what color JESUS was as God in human form on Earth proves what? People will try to use the race card to prove which race should be superior, or to prove that slavery was justified, or to prove any number of things. The important thing is, God thought enough of us to come into the world in human form to redeem the world. Case closed.

White entertainment tv and white history month is all over the place!  The problem to me seems to be people, why isn't there "people tv" and "peoples history month"!!!  Why does everything have to be divided between black and white??  We are all human beings with red blood running through our veins.  White organs work as well in Black organs and viceversa.  Why oh why, is there always a division between different colors of skin?  They have their beliefs and cultures as well as we have, so why can't it just become "people" instead of "them versus us"?

Don't care. \n\nSkin color is the LEAST important of the things that make you what you are.

If there is it's the ones that SOME black's  put up themselves. I don't think many white people really care about color anymore. It's all in their heads (black people).\nSome of them still want to feel like white people owe them something for what happend to their great great great great grand pappy. As if they were the only race that was drug into slavory.  I'm not black or white and I see that.

I'm not black, but I like alot of black artists, so why should the color of your skin matter? Why should it matter, period? God made us all in His image. I think saying you should do this or that, or shouldn't do this or that because your white, black, etc. is absolutely ridiculous. We are all human beings! Listen to what you like! Be your own person!

What would you need to say? I would say that any person, regardless of their race or nationality, is just a person. We all have our faults and our good points. I think you need to look at a person for WHO they are, not what color they are. We all bleed the same color right?

To some families race is important.  If you read the bible, you will see why some families believe that races should not mix.  He is not the one with the problem.  It seems to be his family.  If he is not strong enough to break it to his family...he is not strong enough to be in an interracial relationship.

Yes. Because we are all people no matter our color.

It doesn't bother me. I don't care what color anyone is, just as long as they are good people. I answered a similar question earlier tonight. Personality and integrity are two qualities everyone should have.\n\nEven as a child I could not figure out why you would dislike someone because of the color of their skin.

Having friends and familly from every race, I find it hard to believe that racism can exist if you take the time to meet someone different from yourself and to respect those differences.  You are right, there is a lot of emphasis put on racism.  I am always amazed that people who consider themselves good people think nothing of making some of the comments that they do when they either think that they are with like minded people or when they can do it anonymously as in this forum.  The definition of racism is to believe that one race is superior to another simply because of race.  I can only believe that people who have this belief are truly missing out on some great friendships.  To think that you are better than anyone simply because of race is the epitomy of arrogance.

No, not offended. But why is the focus ALWAYS on Black/White? The world is race colorful, why do you never see Red/White, or Yellow/Black, or even Brown vs.Whomever as a focus? The media kinda acts like there are only 2 races,well,okay, they acknowledge middle eastern people on the news...

it doesn't matter the color, b/c we all bleed red. and plus if you love someone it shouldn't matter the color. people who believe that we should be with our own color are blind and live in the past. we all need to follow our hearts.

First of all, amen to that.  I am a white guy, so you will probably just brush me of in saying that, but I seriously mean it.  People are people no matter the color of their skin or any other physical attribute.  Guess what, all of your insides are the same color no matter what color the outside is.  The differences that really arise are differences in physical attributes (which mean very little if any at all) and the differences in cultural influence.  The culture of each group is what really makes each seem more different in the minds of the other groups.  For many people, it is hard to get that in their thick skulled heads, but for me it is very obvious.  See people for who they are, not for who they appear to be on the outside.

Who will teach the idiots that darker skin was what all humans had before they migrated into Europe and Asia.\n\nThere is only one race, the human race.

Ofcourse it does.  But not if you mean "matter" in a negative context.  I believe it is our differences that make life interesting.  Certainly, the variations in skin color go far to making us interesting looking.  How boring would  it be if we all looked the same.  Unfortunately, in this world "different" seems to equal "bad", "less-than", or "insufficient".  If you don't equate skin color with the negative, you can experience the beautiful spectrum of the human race, just as you would the plants and flowers in a garden. The completion of the mapping of the human genome may well put the race/color question to rest.  At present, from what I understand, it seems there are strong indications that we're all related in some way. If you only see difference as negative, what a shame for you!  You could be rejecting a part of yourself.

they were just chosen. if race is such a menial issue then why did it matter what race they were? i tell you what would have been racist, if they had chosen the children, seen that they were all white and then gone out of their way to find a black/asian/hispanic child. tokenism should be discouraged.
