Origin and Purpose of The Race Concept: 

The current concept of race has only been around since the 15^th century but rose in global prominence in the 17^th century approximately 442 years ago as a deliberate strategy to divide, disorient, and disempower to justify the rape, robbery, and pillaging of Africa’s human and natural resources still occurring today.  This has been a stronghold that has served the power elite as a manifest destiny domination annihilation strategy.

Encyclopedia Britannica https://www.britannica.com/topic/race-human says it even better
“Race is the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences. Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that “races” are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century.”

A Google search description of Race:

“The idea of “race” began to evolve in the late 17th century, after the beginning of European exploration and colonization, as a folk ideology about human differences associated with the different populations—Europeans, Amerindians, and Africans—brought together in the New World.”

How does America officially define race?  Well, although the Census Bureau states it “collects racial data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and that data is based on self-identification”, it is quite evident that this is not the social cultural definition of race.  The Census Bureau website further states,

“The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically.”  You will find more double talk at the census website in an effort to sustain the monetization of the race concept. https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html

Many in the scholastic community of scientific research such as geneticist, paleoanthropologist, archaeologist, geologist, linguist and several others undeniably agree that humanity has been on the planet for at least 300,000 years of the estimated 13.7 billion years of the universe, but the oldest star is about 1 billion years older than the universe.  The latest specie of humanity the homo-sapiens sapiens has only been around for 120,000 yrs.  Interestingly, the etymology of homo-sapiens means “the wise or clever human”.  So, the concept of race is a very recent invention and a tiny fraction only .15 – .37%, not even ½ of 1% of this human journey.  Many feel the current race concept has run its course and are fed-up with the distracting smoke screen of conflict and division it creates.  Now, it must be unquestionably dismantled to render power back to the people, the masses.
