If white people stopped being white, would there still be black people?

[Aaron (Al) Lewis]

Why? In other words if white people somehow redefined their designation as neutral what would black people do? This was a question that presented on blog talk radio by Mr. Black. I have been thinking about it and I am wondering what other people think about this question and it does require some thought. Please post your responses.

Black people would still define themselves as Black

[Aaron (Al) Lewis]

Any idea or reason why?

[B. Crittenden Freeman]

Change is extremely dificult. Self-definition is extremely difficult. Empowerment is extremely difficult.

[Joe Laur]

How many people have to stop defining themselves as white before it becomes the norm? Can I check "all" on those race questions on forms?

Ignorance really runs deep to the core. It's takes courage to face truth. It takes even more courage to change a thought and a condition after one faces truth.

Maybe we can reshape the question: If whites stop calling themselves white, will blacks, stop calling themselves black?

This to me seems to be a nonsensical question in that neither black nor white people exist in nature, and if such things did exist they would not have the intelligence to self evolve. If someone evolves the manner and the method in which they call themselves into Being then they probably were never black or white in the first place, just under someone's spell. So if some people wake up will other people wake up?

[Aaron (Al) Lewis]

La, good question. What do you think?

[Clifford Black]

Sounds to me like this is possibly a nonsensical question that has been manifested into existence by a nonsensical ACTION. We are actually having a conversation about some nonsense that has been around for a few hundred years that in fact most people believe is a reality. Large numbers of people seem to be in agreement with W. E. B. DuBois about what the greatest problem(would be) for the twenty frrst century. DuBois called it the color barrier, at this point we are coming into the realization that this is nothing but the LABEL barrier. Let us tear it down. Bring this nonsense to an end. Stop believing that it's a for real.

Mr. B. what is the program that exists within that even when presented with overwhelming evidence that the label is fictitious people will still insist on being the fiction?
