Discuss intelligently. Do you feel this point has merit?

I think Stephen Colbert mocked this point quite effectively on his show by saying he LITERALLY can't see race. When you see a human being, any person, you immediately begin making judgments. Thats not to say you have to be judging them, but like for instance, if you see a white girl with dreads you can pretty well assume she uses drugs to some extent.
IMO its ACTUALLY judgmental when you see a girl with dreads and assume shes easy, or dumb, or whatever else people associate with dreads
If you see a black guy you can pretty well assume he's experienced discrimination in some way, shape, or form in his life. That kind of experience can indeed shape who you become.
Anyway, my point being that race is an attribute of ourselves and society, and by trying to pretend it doesn't exist in an attempt to create unity and togetherness you are really just sticking your fingers in your ears and going "LALALALALA."
However, scientifically speaking, race means next to nothing so in that sense the statement is an absolute fact

race is a social construct, so, sure why not decide to define yourself differently.... I guess... but don't expect others to agree. If you define yourself as outside of the constructs of your culture, then you cannot expect to be understood within that culture, or accepted by it

The problem isn't race. It's ideology.

There are apparently distinctions and that is just that. You need diversity in this world. I agree with the one guy that ideaology is whats to blame. We discriminate and denigrate differences and conceptualize idealizations that might not even really exist. There wouldn't be culture as we know it without diversity. We have a hierarchal system as well where everyone is battling for supremacy. We deny being animals, but we sure act like one! This is shit my dog does.

Yeah, whatever happened to being proud of who and what we are? The bloke could be stood up saying that he loves his body and being him and is proud to have such a fine machine to carry his stupid feeble mind around in. But instead he's wasting his breath (and precious internet resources) bleating that he's not really black and to counterpoint the argument gets his black voice dubbed on white dudes. Of course every rational person sees this and thinks "that white bloke does not sound like a homie" and any chance of the whole thing making sense goes out the window. Whatever the hell happened to accepting yourself and others for what they are? Michael Jackson, despite being kiddy fiddling rapist, did a much better job with his Black or White video in the 90's. At least he got the message right.

I agree with his sentiment but he's wrong on many of his fundamental points such as race coming about in the 15th century and these label being the primary source of our differences and escalating to wars as just a few places he's wrong, they way he states this he pushes himself as a racist that wants to be an anti-racist because clearly he's not transcended the labels

You'll get the same sort of crap from the Abo's here too.
Abo wanders up to you on the street... "Can I have smoke man?" "I don't smoke." "fuck you, you racist white cunt!"
