Most marriages are between people of the same race and social/economic class - Meaning that if you're white and middle class, you're more likely to marry a white middle class person - Particularly because most people we grow up with are also part of the same social class and share the same culture, therefore we feel compelled and attracted by them. I think race certainly doesn't exist scientifically, but neither do countries but it's still a useful concept in our everyday lives. What separates races the most is culture and culture is probably the strongest cause of racism - I.E. The reason why whites thought blacks were inferior wasn't just beacuse they were darker, but because of how they organized and acted/behaved. It's curious to see how racial dynamics may vary - My girlfriend is part gypsy and she fucking hates gypsies because she despises the culture.

If we are going to use race as a useful social construct to discuss power dynamics, sovereignty of territories, etc, we might as well admit that white people are a race as well, just like black people, and we are divided into sub-groups as well (i.e. Spanish and Italians are darker than Brits and Germans, but it also depends on the person).
It cannot be said that Africans had an inferior culture. Doubtless, they had inferior weapons. Africa is a rich continent and unfortunately, we live on a planet where if you can't protect it, you can't keep it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
