Prompt 1, what is race ?

race is defined as a group of people who share the same language, history,characteristics but can race really be defined or is it just a made up human concept to separate us from each other. In the film the power of an illusion we see that the differences from human DNA are 85 percent within the same "race" and not within the other "races". This means that we are barely different from other people and  that the "races" we claim exist are just classifications of people by biological features like skin color, hair color, head shape, etc. This shows us that race does not exist and can't be classified, this proves race was just and invention to have social benefits and live better than others. we can conclude that race is a thing made up by man and it can't be classified other than by biological features.

So why did man create this race system to separate each other ? for power and money off course because there is no other clear reason. In the movie the power of an illusion we see how because blacks were used as slaves they got ill and were weak and the became an abused group of people, white people classified them as black and forever saw them as inferior in most aspects of life. White people took advantage of this and using law in their favor made black people suffer for countless years even until the day of today the impact is felt. This again proves race is just an invention for power and money. We can conclude that Race is unconventional and any use of this old system should be deleted it would also help if we stopped calling race things that are not race so we could spread equality and a fair world.
