Make up blog from May 8: Race what is it?

Everyone may think that race is part of you. Its something your born with. When really its something your named. Your not born blakc, your just called it. There is no biological part of our DNA that says you are white. In class we started talking about how race is a society factor not biological. Probbly the most enlightening thing we did with this was a match the face to the race activity. We got 4 right as the entire class. Alot of it seemed to be becuase the people we were identifying were such a samll percentage of that race, but the minorities always win. Take Obama for instance. He is viewed as our first black president even though he;s only half black. The minority wins.

This isn't something that really bugged me at first, but I hade never really though of the origin of race. Its just something that our society created hundreds of years ago before true scientific evidence. It really is kind of annoying that we are classified into these categories. were all the same species of human theres not one thing that make us different biologically than another human. I feel that race is a strong factor in our society to this day. I only hope that race eventually disapears and were left with one thing and that is human.
