But what they said was that when races began, it was "one of humanities greatest sources of strife." Yet most African countries today that are 99% black are plagued with strife.

This is a ridiculous argument. The author didn't say racism is "humanity's only source of strife," just one of the greatest sources. Which is factually correct. You're reading way too much into it if you see anything else there.

I know. That's what I wrote when I quoted the article. But it way overstates the threat of racism. Stalin murdered millions of people of his own race. So did Mao and other communists. Most murders in America are black on black or white on white, not racist.
