One of the main groups to which people are often considered to belong, based on physical characteristics that they are perceived to share such as skin colour, eye shape, etc.:
People of many different races were living side by side.
Cambridge Dictionary
The concept of “race” is complex and has been the subject of debate and controversy for centuries. Some key points to consider about race include:
Race is a social construct: Although many people think of race as a biological or genetic concept, in reality it is a social construct that has been created and defined by humans. There is no scientific basis for race, and different societies and cultures have defined race in different ways.
Race is based on physical traits: Despite being a social construct, race is often associated with physical characteristics such as skin color, facial features, and hair texture. These physical traits are often used to group people into racial categories.
Race has been used to justify discrimination and oppression: Throughout history, race has been used to justify discrimination and oppression of certain groups of people. For example, in the United States, black people were enslaved for centuries and subjected to discrimination and segregation even after slavery was abolished.
Race intersects with other forms of oppression: Race intersects with other forms of oppression such as gender, class, and sexuality. For example, black women may experience discrimination not only because of their race, but also because of their gender.
Race is not fixed or static: Racial identity can be fluid and change over time. People may identify with different racial categories depending on their experiences and social context.
Race is not the same as ethnicity: While race is often based on physical characteristics, ethnicity refers to a shared cultural identity, such as language, religion, and customs. Ethnicity can also be a social construct, but it is not based on physical traits in the same way that race is.
This is why they are BANNING black history in schools..

In this special American Impendence day program, presenter Martin Bashir brings together Ilyasah Shabbaz – the third daughter of Malcolm X, Joshua DuBois – President Obama’s former spiritual advisor and Lama Rod Owens – a Buddhist Black radical thinker to discuss the nature of the Black Lives Matter movement.
They discuss the objectives and methods of the movement and interrogate if the use of violence is a necessary evil in search of equality.
The three guests draw upon their own respected faith traditions as well as the experience of being African American in modern day America to share their views on how best to achieve equal rights.

18 The Concept of Race with Richard Lewontin
In this Hitchcock Lecture from UC Berkeley, evolutionary geneticist Richard Lewontin reviews a number of studies on the genetic differentiation between individuals within local populations, of local populations within classic geographical races and between races. He shows that almost all human genetic variation is contained between individuals within any local population and that the consequences of repeated migrations, invasions, and mixture between groups destroys any clear racial boundaries.

Do you believe that your race correlates to your skin tone? Because that wasn’t always the case. So how did Americans come to believe that race equals certain visible physical characteristics such as skin color and hair? And why is it that certain ethnic groups that were once considered “non-white” became reclassified as “white”? Watch the episode to find out.

Episode 1: Why Black Africans Were Historically Viewed As A Threat ?
7 apr 202
Episode 1: Why Black Africans Were Historically Viewed As A Threat ?
The view that Black Africans were historically viewed as a threat is a complex issue with multiple factors. One significant factor is the history of colonialism and the European conquest of Africa. European powers colonised Africa for its natural resources, and the perception of Africans as “primitive” or “uncivilised” was used to justify the exploitation and subjugation of African peoples.
Another factor is the transatlantic slave trade, which saw millions of Africans forcibly taken from their homes and transported to the Americas as slaves. The dehumanization of Africans as property and the violent treatment they received from their slave owners further reinforced the perception of Africans as a threat.
Additionally, racism and prejudice against Black people have been pervasive throughout history and continue to be a problem today. This bias has often led to the assumption that Black people are inherently violent or dangerous, perpetuating the stereotype of the “angry Black man” or “aggressive Black woman.”
In short, the perception of Black Africans as a threat has deep roots in history, including colonialism, slavery, and ongoing prejudice and discrimination. It is a complex issue that requires a nuanced understanding of history and culture to fully grasp.
============================
Let’s come together in reasonable dialogue to honor our ancestors and reclaim the world through an African lens. Join me as we delve into African history, culture, and worldview to better understand their relevance to our lives today. By sharing our thoughts and knowledge, we can pave the way for a new culture of awareness and reclaim our story. As the African Diaspora saying goes, “I am because we are, and we are because I am.”
