Are different races meant to live together

Let's be real for a second

Race is nothing but human adaptations based on the geographical factors of an environment.

Black people are darker because of years of living in a warm climate. (Africa) Our bodies adapted to better handle the damaging rays of the sun.

White people typically lived in colder climates.

Every race comes from a specific region, and they’re differences are a result of centuries of adaptations to their different environments.

Just like, for example, a bunny. Snow bunnies have white fur to help blend in with the snow, and a bunny in a forest would probably have brown fur. They’re both the same species, their differences are simply a result of adapting to their environment.

Race is nothing more than mere environmental adaptations. If all humans lived in the same environment for centuries, then we would all have the same skin color.

Today, we live in a world where these adaptations we have developed have separated and divided us to an extraordinary level. The entire concept of race has turned into more than it was ever meant to be naturally.

Race definitely causes differences in the human body. It is understandable why the idea of a master race has come into question. While I think that all people are equal, I also believe there are certain races that are better at handling specific environments than other races. Those differences aren’t because one race is naturally better than the other, but because of the adaptations developed for the environment in which the race typically resides. With that being said, In certain environments, specific races will thrive more. When a human is put into an environment that is different, it is more difficult to thrive in that environment in comparison to that individual's normal environment.

So when a young black child grows up in a majority white environment, even without standard criticism from people, it is more difficult to thrive mentally because you are different.

Let’s just think for a moment.

I don’t know of any snow bunnies and forest bunnies that survive together.

It’s not natural!

Humans are a little different. Natural laws don’t always apply to us, luckily, because we were gifted with free thinking we could defy those natural laws with manufacturing and technology. However, it’s important to remember we are just mammals. Like every other creature we have natural instincts, that have very clearly affected our society.

Unlike Animals, humans developed the ability to travel to different continents, or countries in short amounts of time. Allowing us to interact with different types of our same species.

When we started to mix and learn new cultures, environments, and people, we naturally compared ours to others. Rather than embracing our differences we analyzed them to determine who was the best.

You all know the story.

My argument is what if we were never meant to see those other environments. What if, naturally, we were supposed to stay in our area and everyone else was supposed to stay in their area. Just like most mammals.

We were never meant to live interracially and combine our cultures. Maybe we are all better off sticking to our own natural environment.

Of course, that’s too late now, and I’m aware this is not the news we need to be hearing right now. I love and always support interracial interactions, relationships and lifestyles. Trust me, I’m no Malcolm X. I do however wonder if we can ever co-exist without racial issues. I personally don’t know if it’s possible. I hope it is for all of our sake but, there might need to be a time when African Americans begin their quest to their own home nation because it is clear their current nation is not exactly in favor of a thriving black individual.

This was just a thought I was having no need to take it too seriously, but then again I think it is a compelling argument.
