DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION ON EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT AND RACE
There are none.
Just as so called black folks are deeply invested in the erroneous and fictitious label, so are so called white people. In fact it may be much more difficult for them to divest themselves of the lie than it would be for people of color to do so.
You see when and if any person of color that ever figures out that their so called race was created for them and not by them and that the very term itself has all kinds of references and inferences of inferiority interlaced within its framework they may logically decide to step from under the totem of race altogether.
The same does not hold true for the term white. Quite the contrary, its inventor, by that I mean the man who coined the term caucasian, the one and same german who also coined the term negroid, fused all sorts of superior sounding, but equally erroneous qualities about the term and label white.
The ego would almost automatically gravitate towards the loftier, more positive characteristics infused in the latter. However, the term white or caucasian is just as much a lie as the term negroid or black is. A lie by any other name is still a lie. However I can see why it would be hard to step down from that air castle of make believe and ought to be world.
What really amazes me from both sides, if indeed there are sides, is how tightly, with all the opposing empirical evidence, that there is no such thing and white or black people and that the only race is the human race, people still cling to the erroneous, hypothetical, non scientific delusion that one group is better or worse than the other.
To believe that with no investigation is a virulent form of outright self deception or intellectual cowardice, take your pick.
Namaska, to all that it fits.

Thanks Sir. I continue to follow this thread and the above submission will move me further along.
The insight that comes to the one that learns how to comprehend "What's Going On" is part of the real power that comes to the ONE.
