Horace,
I will answer both of your questions but first I have a statement to make to you.
Neither you nor I may be responsible for the existence of the problem of racism. But the fact that we are talking about racism is proof that racism does exist.
The existence of racism is WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM SEEING PEOPLE AS PEOPLE.
It pollutes and poisons the interaction between people and limits constructive activity among them.
What we ( you and I) need to do is to rally as a team and join forces and go forth and solve the problem.
I have described a situation that I do beleive is a problem. I am here to solve this problem. If your purpose here is not the same as my purpose here, then I see no purpose in interacting with you.
At some point I would like you to state your purpose for being here.
Now for your questions.
Why do I beleive White people invented the concept of race?
I beleive White people invented the concept of race because without the concept of race, there could be no racism, without racism, there could be no White Supremacy.
White Supremacy does exist.
I know it exists because I exist, and I am a victim of racism.
I am a victim of racism because I am non White.
I am non white because White people have said so.
They are the smartest most powerful people in the universe and what they say "goes."
Racism is the "symptom", race is the "disease."
Your 2nd question: How can a person claim they are not a member of a race?
The short answer is: By refusing to cooperate with the racists in the support of the concept of "race."
The existence of racism is proof of the power of the racists, this is what the supreme part of the term White Supremacy means.
Black people exist in the minds of White people, but because under White Supremacy, White people are supreme, they have been able to make their thoughts a reality.
You could tell all the White people to treat Josh like a White person and if all White people agreed then I would not be Black.
I would have to avoid victims of racism because they would be pissed off at me. Their anger should be directed at the White people who practice racism, Their behavior would be another example of their status as victims of racism.
Horace, I am a member of the "anti race", the exact opposite of what you claim to be.
I am what I am because I can't be what you are in a system of White supremacy.
The White Supremacist have ruled against me in my attempt to "pass" for White.
All victims of racism submit and cooperate with the system of racism by being forced to see people with less color as potential racists.
Racism is the problem that poisons, pollutes and inhibits constructive activity between people and keeps people from seeing people as people.
