Just chiming in from the peanut gallery to say I am in the same position (wrt extraction) and share the same views stated here.

>You realise you actually sound like a cultist with that first line?
What cult would that be? The one that doesn't bend their knee to you and your worldview? How unfortunate.
>me being an evil white-people-hating black power SJW demonrat
You've made the case for this abundantly clear. So that's exactly what I think.
>I do not believe that race is real.
Did I say "tenet"? That's too mild. More like the ontological bedrock.

Popular categories of race are at odds with genetic definitions. Does that sound better?
I have absolutely no problems with white people. I'm literally half white. All my favourite family members who are literally my flesh and blood are white. Most of my friends are white. I grew up in a 99% white community. I do not think white people are the enemy and I do not think the majority of them hold any racist views. I do not hold white people collectively accountable for things their ancestors did centuries ago or assume anything bad about them based on this. I stated facts about history I was not blaming any race in modern times for the existence of these facts. They are just true, but they are of the past. I think white and black people should work together as the one and only race - the human race - to make the world better.
What is your argument against me now? Can you make one without resorting to gross assumptions of me being an evil white-people-hating black power SJW demonrat?
I made it very clear that I do not believe that race is real. So why would I view white people as some sort of inherently morally tarred enemy?
Again, I'm literally more ethnically white more than I am anything else.
