Standard NAACP response.
Sorry, not a member.
Didn't claim you were. Just stating that it's the standard NAACP response.

I agree, one of the reasons racism is still around is because racists and those experiencing racism are fixated on race. Those that believe racism is still a big problem need to stop worrying about every racist slur by some backward ass country fuck and focus on racism from people that have power over them in some way. The hypersensitivity towards average assholes dilutes the important work of eliminating race from hiring practices, banking and other areas that have real effect on your ability to live a life free from racism. Trying to force every hillbilly to become PC just causes a backlash. Giving your vote to the side that screams racism the loudest doesn't help the cause when half of those screaming racism are themselves racists.

And at the moment, it seems the tea-baggers are screaming racism the loudest. Are you saying they're racists?

No one on the Tea Party side is screaming "racism".
They're being falsely accused of BEING racists, which is far different.
Well, it is in the real world. Not sure about KwickieLand.

No one? Not even Wulfie here?
They're not being "falsely" accused of anything. They actually ARE racists, a good number of them. I know you can't see that, but you are an avowed racist yourself, so how could you?

On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Race matters; it exists. It is immune to our aspirations, hopes and denial. There are differences between various races, or more accurately, populations. They are in part biological. This makes us uncomfortable, and so we embrace platitudes and focus on our admitted similarities.
Race used to matter to much, and things have improved. We overcorrected, however, and are in a state of brittle hypersensitivity. Antiracism has stuffed its head up its own ass, and devoured itself from the inside out. We know race matters, but refuse to discuss it, and in setting it aside it becomes taboo and powerful.
My solution: genocide. Or Wulf/Rappy make out videos.

No proof that the Tea Party is racist, no proof that I'm racist....
Yep. Par for the course.
Life in KwickieLand....

I agree with your other points, but disagree with this, if your meaning is by function. The difference between populations, where differences exists, is most likely chemical and diet related. Also possibly cultural.
The only place where function differs among population that is genetic is either by disorders or by gender. Even gender differences, aside from the obvious, are iffy and hard to measure.
As for race, it exists, but I'm not really sure why it matters to people. Minority groups being oppressed/ostracized? Yeah, it happens. Skin colour is a pretty stupid reason for it to happen, being mostly decorative, and any skin colour could be ostracized in a given situation, and who ostracizes who has large regional variations.

Byte,
Very nice article on Slate.com recently (I'd link, but my blackberry link-fails) discussing a study on physiology and athletic performance. Cliff note version: the limb-length and center of gravity ideal for sprinting is best represented by West African (not generically "black" populations); the same is true of swimming and European populations. Beyond mere appearance, many physical characteristics tend to cluster with population groups. They are a product of an environment, and natural selection. They are biological.
