Default will the terms black and white be decimated in the future?
A century from now...will we still be using 'black' and 'white'? Times change and with that the terms we may use change as well. Whose to say we will be using 'black' and 'white' in the future?

But when, the only way is to be a change of way of thinking, which is not being seen at this moment.

The terms black or white will last as long as there will be black or white people. Simple as that.

Its not only a matter of mentality, but mainly of education, culture and changing demographic/economic reality.

For example, genetics can wipe out racism, just look at for example how genetics has pushed racialist ideologies and prejudices into the realm of pseudo-science and ridicule (or alternative podiums on the internet, like this forum where many people still use, against better knowledge, obsolete and scandalous loaded terminology).

Its fantastic to see.

Race should not be determined by skin color only but by pheno variation, as you can see dark skinned caucasian and light skinned SSA Africans.

I think the word "nigger" will stay in the English language even if completely different from what it means nowadays. After seeing that video where the Asians kids attack the other Asian FOB kid and yell "nigga" all the time, I think its use will never die down. The word is kind of losing its original meaning. It's happening, I think, because it's such a great taboo in the US that people get some kind of joy out of saying it.

Wow, the argument stuns me!

I cant go on like this, I am paralyzed! I pull back in shame and loss from this discussion.

LOL

Ignorant foolish pack of shit.

Acting/reacting against racialism has nothing to do with self-righteousness, moron fool, it has to do with civilization, with ethics.

No one's literally white or black. I believe even the palest people have somewhat slightly blueish/reddish undertone. I for example sometimes look pale, sometimes reddish. Especially when my summer tan fades away.

Black or white people do not exist.

Its as long as people like u exist, this notion will exist. I agree, terms black/white aren't very scientific or exact. There seems to be lumped many different people under the word black, etc. But you probably know all this by yourself.

What I want to say is that even in non racist context there happens to be a need to define one's looks. And black/white are the most common ways to do so. If people quit saying black or white, they will start using other words.

I admire the whole world with all its flora and fauna.

Then again, 1945. Have a nice day.
