Why do we in the USA need to group people with labels like "Black" and "White"?
Those labels are what keep the USA seperated and I cannot go through a day of school without hearing people say things like "Don’t try to dance, your white" and why do we even say "Black"? I’m ok with people describing their skin color that way, but race isn’t based on color, If that is so, then Europe is much more than just white and in Asia people can be white too. Those were the kinds of names people gave eachother 50 years ago and then Martin Luther King gave his speech why things should be different and we should all unite. What about people from Sicily? They are from Europe so they would be labeled as white, but there light brown. In Mexico, it doesn’t matter where your heritage is, Sweden, Veitnam, India, or Aztec, no matter where your heritage is, if you are born there, you are just as Mexican as the next guy. Mexico is another country that doesn’t have a fixed ethnic group unless you are Native American. So this upcoming MLK day, think about what I have written here. This IS the USA. Maybe we could learn something from Mexico. We are all JUST American. No different than anyone else here. People are People.
And to Jackie, in Mexico, you are either rich or poor. I have family in Mexico that are extremely rich. but the government is so corrupt that it doesnt want a middle class.
It’s because blacks are racist animals.

KUDOS to you!
I’m glad people like you choose not to define others because of the color of their skin but by their actions. (We can’t help being black/white/Asian) we were choosen by are genes. There are those who see people by their color they become so narrow minded that they see nothing below themselves. Unfortunatly, painful things like this happen and it’s all part of the process of being a human being.
300 years ago to this day, Sir Frances Isac, a great voyager sailed across the world and died off the coast of Panama. A historian once said, "He lived by the sea, died on the sea, and was buried in the sea." Today, we can say the same, if people explored their horizons, make friends, and learn from others, like Isaac, their life, complete.
I do have faith one day that we can be seen as who we are. Not this capsule (skin color) that we live are lives as. There is no such thing as race. People make assumptions of others, they are not at fault and what they do or say does not diminsh who they are.
I hope you realize that we should be more fourthcoming, don’t hide, don’t keep secrets from others and do everything up front and in public. It’s better, because we can overcome the barriars.
Remember, 90% of racism is the result of lost in translation. In otherwords, we assume actions of others and interpet them as bad.
Go now, explore your horizones. Seek whats out there.
Good luck in your endeavors.
Cheers.

Good question! I can not believe some of the comments I have read on this topic I was hoping racism was easing up, but it seems to be thriving! and it’s so sad! I guess these kids are still learning it from their parents.

Because this nation was built on White vs Non white and Male vs female. If you think of a country as a building, the only way to fix a building with a flawed support system that isnt stable is to tear it down and make a new one, the US refuses or moves at an extremely so place towards full equality therefore these labels will stay here for the long haul and there is nothing you can do about it nor anyone else.
The blueprint to this nation was flawed and the only way to fix it is to make a new one, not trying to edit a flawed structure as it will only mask and reinforce the problem at a later date.

No idea, but that doesn’t even happen here in England, and we’re not the most well-educated in regards to people’s ethnicities.
We see people as people, we do not feel a need to categorise one another according to our race. A British citizen is British, regardless of racial background. A mixed race person is mixed, not just "black" LOL. That’s one we find quite funny out here. Only Americans follow the one-drop rule.
You sound open-minded and intelligent. Perhaps you should move over here.

I have heard that Mexicans don’t like Blacks. Anyway in Mexico some people are so poor, they don’t have time to be racist. I mean, how much of a racist can one be living in a place where White people are known to collect trash to find good things to sell. Which nobody actually wants still.

I think in the opposite direction. Rather than avoiding the labels, why don’t we work to the point those labels don’t have a positive/negative connotation? Someone is white; so what? Or black; who cares? They’re descriptors that shouldn’t be either positive or negative by themselves.
Doing away with labels doesn’t solve anything. Addressing history, fears, the present, the future, differences, similarities and coming to the realization that we’re all human is the only way it will ever truly end.
Unfortunately, a large majority aren’t accepting of being equal and accepting of people different than themselves. And this lack of acceptance is present in EVERY race, unfortunately.
