This site is dedicated to educating the general public on the myth versus fact regarding the notion of "race".
If you have only 5 minutes, read this summary:
American Anthropological Association, May 1998, "...The tragedy in the United States, has been that the policies and practices stemming from [the "racial" worldview] succeeded all too well in constructing unequal populations among Europeans, Native Americans, and peoples of African descent..."
In other words, many (not ALL) Europeans moved to colonial America and PERFECTED the rationalization of human trafficking. Tragically, today even the discovery and practical use of DNA is not enough to 100% eliminate the racist views of too many among us. Our United States of America continues to be ripped in half by profiteers who use racism as a fear tactic.
What can you do?
VOTE: Elect officials based on their track record of stopping and preventing racism.
SPEAK UP: When you see something that is clearly racist in nature, kindly call it out and explain how racism is rooted in human trafficking. Use the articles listed below as your guide.
When you have more time, read the full American Anthropological Association's "Statement on Race": http://www.americananthro.org/ConnectWithAAA/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=2583

Another amazing project for public consumption. "When you begin to understand the biology of human variation, you have to ask yourself if race is a good way to describe that." Janis Hutchinson, Biological Anthropologist: www.understandingrace.org/HumanVariation
When you have even more time, read about how our 2 major political parties historically take turns catering to racism, and consider becoming (or remaining) an Independent Voter:
