Wouldn't it be loverly if we were ALL THE SAME COLOR ? Color is the fastest way to determine whether you like/dis someone. There'd be no groups based on color. Wouldja like it that way? Hey hey hey?

.Wouldn't matter at all what color it was. Black or white or in-between. As long as skin color were IDENTICAL among us and not varying shades of anything. How would that change life/society?

    I'm sure that would be ideal for people that have a problem with skin color, but I believe the majority of people without that stigma couldn't care less, Isn't skin color part of a persons heritage, are we afraid of people's heritage now that we would want everyone the same color, not this Surfdog.

    Skin color is but one thing people use to divide ourselves. If there were no skin, language, cultural, religious, sexual or political differences among us, we would still come up with something. Eye color, nose size, right or left-handedness, birth month, the way we walk...something.

    Nope..

    Diversity is the spice of life..

    Sameness is boring..

    The desire for sameness is actually racist if you think about it..

    I think it would lead to a much more boring world.

    Interestingly back in the nineties a research project did just that. They asked 10,000 people from around the world to describe what they saw as an attractive person. Then compiled all the traits into one picture. The picture looked very much like an Egyptian or other North Africans along the Med.

    Would be sad if there were only one language left too. Easier to communicate but would be sad.

  • Why can the flowers be appreciated for their many colors but the human skin cannot?

    What a boring world. I love diversity. When I attend our conventions the variety of races gathered together for the purpose of pure worship is what brings us together in unity and Christian brotherhood. (1corinthians 1:10)

    Really? If we were all one color there would no such thing as racism Adam. You don't think that is a good tradeoff? Is racism something you enjoy witnessing? I don't. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply. I don't thank you however for calling me a racist.

    REALLY. REALLY. REALLY. The KKK based an entire organization on it . White  nationalists, white supremacists are organized because of it. If you are unaware of that then you are not paying attention which surprises me.. Upon what is racism based but color Baba? Why are blacks pulled over for "infractions" more often than whites? Why are unarmed black men murdered m ore often than whites if color isn't the reason? You disagree with me. Fine. I disagree with thee so we are even. Thank you for your response and Happy Wedneday!

    You greatly under estimate the capacity of people to find reasons to hate each other..  Where the Catholics and protestants of Ireland the same color during their many generations hate strife?   Where the Serbians and Croatian allies of Hitler both white during World war 2 when genocide was committed ?  Did they change color later on during the vicious Balkan wars of the 1990's? Are not the Alawites and the Arabs who are currently slaughtering each other in Syria both the same general olive skinned people..  

    Also there is nothing wrong with people having different colors Rosie...   You do not ban people who have different color to you simply because some people are racists.. thats defeatist.. That's like banning alcohol because some people end up being alcoholics.. The solution is not to ban alcohol it is for people with low self control or addictive personalities to stop drinking alcohol..

    I never called you a racist.. I said that to make you think about it for a while.. But it seems you are quick to take things in an emotional way and respond under the influence of your emotions.. Human beings do not think and respond at their best when they are overcome with strong emotions Rosie.. Take a step back and think about what i am saying and i think you will respond better if you are not in a state of defensive emotional hurt.. 

    Note Rosie I will not respond to your """"Is racism something you enjoy witnessing?""""  In an emotional (Rosie is accusing me of getting a kick out of observing racism happening, i am hurt and offended type of way)... I will just say No i do not enjoy witnessing racism Rosie..

    But if we're all the same color, we won't have the evil white man to blame for our troubles anymore. :(
