Skin color is an outwardly visible sign of Melanin content in humans. Which is not an automatic insight to the makings, beliefs, moires ,morales , intelligence, aspirations, experiences or thought processes of a human being. As humans are one of the creatures on earth that would perish if born and left into wilderness or jungle alone , Families are the natural first collective form of human culture, that is parents and children. The Human being is no more than the aggregate collection of the minerals, enzymes, oxygen water and sunlight that make up this earth. We are no more special to nature than a dung beetle or a buttercup dandelion weed in the summer. We are all creations of Mother Earth.
Human beings are all monkey like in their progress ...still to this day we live in a monkey-see monkey-do world. Every great invention from the knife to the wheel to books cars and planes computers have been copied and re copied and improved on. From Language to the Arts Monkey-see Monkey-do is how the cultures have evolved. This is how the over arching culture of humans have developed. This human progress belongs to all Human Race, for each subsequent dominating groups progress is built on the previous one. While humans developed and migrated across the world they took all the knowledge
With them and settled into areas where the sunlight made the need for Melanin to lessen.
Outwardly evolution and inbreeding slowly created pools of humans that have characteristics that developed into what we now define as races of people. People are people , Red People , Yellow people , Brown people , White People and Black people. All of the Human creatures on Earth are part of one genetic beginning. Like a tree with many branches the human race is fully connected. On this earth to this day there are humans in isolated areas living original lifestyle and traditions that dominated their worlds. Like the Nomads who wander the deserts in seasonal search of living environments. The Human condition can be found in a wide state of being across the globe here in the the year 2014. But over the last 400 years the Slavic origins of the word slave was being applied to a people who had a different skin color than the Czechoslovakian, Russian and Polish people who where the original owners of the term.
The Melanin level of Slavic people is lower when compared to the sun filled West Africans captives that made up the American Slavery System. As a result a perfect marker of melanin based race identities was used to control human bondage. "Blacks" as a race were born and of course the antithesis of Black the white race was coined... And from those beginnings today we have a wide gulf of CULTURAL DIFFERENCES THAT ARE BEING DRIVEN BY MELANIN CONTENT. RACE DIFFERENCES AS DIVIDERS IN THE WORLD IS LARGELY AN AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT.
Today in America, skin tone, melanin levels , nose structure, eye slant or other nature driven human differences are used to separate segregate , judicature , and incarcerate who have them. We have become accustomed to it Mass Media and from the days of Vaudeville promoted the idea of Superiority of one race over another, White over Black.
To the point where the World is buying into the AMERICAN RACE SYSTEM. When most scholars know that the differences between humans is cultural and sub cultural and the amount of Melanin in a humans skin is inconsequential... You see there really is no White or Black... It's all in your mind....
