Seeking six words about race -- Talk of the Nation
*Race is a culturally constructed concept.*
Would we be better off if we were to see ourselves as members of the human community and larger community of life, rather than as members of one or another socially constructed racial category?
This is not to deny the extra burden carried by those with dark skin in USA.
Would it be better for race relations if we were to spend more time talking about the challenges that face the entire human community AND possible solutions.
Re possible solutions, we could END extreme poverty throughout the world AND control environmental impacts and manage natural resource wealth for a sustainable civilization if we resolve to respect PUBLIC property rights along with private property rights. (Natural resource wealth should be shared equally.)
NPR and other mainstream news organizations do not mention public property rights as it relates to natural resource wealth. Nor do they mention that we are living in an unsustainable civilization.
How might addressing problems that we face as a human community reduce tensions related to our various group identities.
How might reducing disparity of wealth reduce racial tensions?
