What's So Different

I made a post a while back about interracial dating and within that post I made the comment that in nature with animals there is no intermixing and therefore we as humans should follow suit. Well I recently had a talk with a good friend of mine who pointed something out to me that I hadn't really thought of or taken into consideration when I made that statement. Let me start out by saying I have a completely different view now on interracial dating all together and I will also say that my comments where wrong! Although what I am about to say may or may not change your opinion, I can truly say that I've been taken out of the Matrix on this one.
So here goes my new view point: as the human race we are all the same species. Our only real differences are from regional origins, which is pretty much why we all look different. So in Africa people needed a skin tone that would allow for heat tolerance, bodies that would allow for hard work in the sun; and so you have black people of a darker sking tone. People in Alaska have flatter faces, skinny squinty eyes, and fingers with more blood vessel that allow the native people to be outside in freezing temperature without getting frost bite. Okay so I say all of that to say this; we really are all the same with just a few slight changes because of where God originally put us on this planet. So looking at my example of how animals stick within their species which is true, but specifically looking at dogs and how they mix within their own to make new breeds kind of sheds a new light on my thoughts. So a German Shepard may mate with a great Dane to create a new type of dog but it's still a dog. And to even prove that intermixing is a good thing, mixed breeds (of all kinds and species; dogs or humans) usually live longer because during the mixing of the two dogs the new product takes the best of both sides. This is the same with humans which I believe is why we live longer lives now.
We are all humans with no real differences that those that have been specifically pointed out to us. Really when you look at why racism is such a problem it is because of those who have (rich) trying to separate themselves from those who have not (poor). Race really isn't the big problem that we have all been made to believe but it's really about control and another way to divide us from becoming one as a people.
