I remember once as a naive teenager in the early seventies, after listening to a recording of Malcolm X and listening to the news, I thought I really understood this whole racial pride thing. A person should be proud of who they are, it makes sense. So there I am talking to a black coworker at a part time job, joking I raised my fist and shouted, “white power man”, after I had accomplished a task. After being disciplined for making a racist comment I had decided to rethink this entire concept. I went to talk to my father, who had just been disciplined by the union for telling a black coworker at his job that not all the pharaohs were black in Egypt. We had a long talk confused because we both had always considered the concept of race as something of a farce. Those called white in this country might actually be part, American Indian, Jewish or any other mixture and those called black could be just as mixed. The concept of race in this country is a social concept and political concept not a scientific concept. Finally we just shrugged and decided that life doesn't always make sense. There is a old expression, “never mind that the mule is blind, just shut up and load the wagon.”

Race is a real legitmate categorization of humans. It’s not just a social construct. yes the USA has more mixture than other places but still the vast majority of whites in the USA are all European blood. Most blacks in the US are about 20% white.
