    Can we stop with this racist crap? Are we seriously still, in the year 2024, grouping millions of different people together into one group based on how much melanin they have in their skin? Regardless of things like culture, class, geography, education, religion? It’s stupid.

      I don’t know how you meant your comment. Do you criticise the article?

        I criticise the continued practice of grouping people together based solely on skin color. It’s a horribly antiquated practice and we need to move beyond it.

          In an ideal world it wouldn’t matter. However human perception is not perfect and if we ignore color then we ignore equity with its subsequent derivatives. Culturally I one day hope that the world learns move beyond that

            I don’t expect people to ignore color, I just don’t think we should look only at color. I don’t think physical characteristics are irrelevant, but you can’t define a group of people by that alone.

            Edit: will someone explain to me why this is controversial?

          Off course, but it makes sense to ask that question in the headline regarding Mrs. Hannah-Jones’ research.

          Are we seriously still, in the year 2024

          I was a teenager in the 70’s, and I agree, this is NOT the future I dreamed about.
