Guest - "cross-cultural differences rooted in the culture of race in the US." Huh???

What is the world is the "culture of race"???

Do you mean a racist culture?

I think you need to get a handle of what culture is. It has nothing to do with race. Most cultures include a variety of skin colour.

According to the genome project, we all have a common, African mother. This scientific understanding may change with time but as it stands today, there are no races.

Hitler started that "race" theory when he was trying to substantiate a superior white race. The farthest he got was tracing a linguistic pattern and linking Europeans to Iranians - thus the so-called Aryans. Changes in genetic make-up have occurred over time due to geography and environment. There is absolutely no proof that we are separate people. We all came from an original mother and she was probably black.

GUEST,Guest; but regular member -

Jealousy is cross-cultural but can be overcome.
