I find it interesting that this is the same attitude that led to the
injustices you decry.

The race issue will continue to exist so long as there are people who define
their reality in terms of physical differences arising from an
inconsequential proportion of our DNA.  

The answer to most of man's problem's will be realized as we learn to see
ourselves not in terms of the accidents of our physical birth, but in terms
our spiritual reality, human beings created in the image of God.
