Well Richard I guess that view is nice as far as philosophy or religion goes but this is a political board and i don't know what country you live in but the one I live in has some real race issues. So in that regard there is such a thing as race. Now I think anyone who would give a post this title has to be coming from a place of ignorance and prejudice but thats the whole reason race is an issue. It's like women getting job promotions. You cant tell me there aren't times when women get jobs just because they're women. So is there no such thing as sex too? I'm glad those firemen got their promotions but if race weren't an issue, it wouldn't have been in the news in the first place.
