I recently visited the Creation Museum in Kentucky and it had an interesting display about race. The museum founder, Ken Ham, says that we are all one race and of one blood genetically. Some people have more pigment in their skin, causing them to look darker, but we are all related.
I’ve been to Africa twice. In Africa I saw the Kikuyu tribe and the Masai tribe. I never saw anyone in either tribe that looked black. I saw brown people but not black.
I am friends with someone from Nigeria and he has very dark skin. When he wears a black T-shirt you can see that his skin is not black either. It is dark brown. He has a lot of melanin in his skin.
If a Caucasian person is white then holding a paper next to him reveals the truth; he isn’t white. He doesn’t have very much melanin.
The color wheel doesn’t lie. At a paint store, if you look at all the shades of brown, from very light brown to very dark brown, you will find many of the skin colors that you see in the world. Perhaps some people have another “color” mixed in with the brown but we’re all basically just shades of brown.
Scientists know there is only one race. The human genome project announced this in the year 2000, so why are news media outlets continuing to promote divisive race wars? Politics fuel these race wars. We are all one family, and we should not be thinking of any human we see as anything less than a family member. A person on the other side of the world is related to us distantly if we go back far enough, as we are all family.
