If one walks like a duck and sounds like a duck then one is a duck. Obama walks like a communist, he sounds like a communist, he takes advice from his czars, all communists, he sought out communist professors during college...... long list... he most certainly is a communist!

Race needs to be left off of every survey and application from now on. no need for it if the person is education and has good moral/ethical standards.

"There is no such thing as a biological entity that warrants the term "'race.'" That's according to Dr. Loring Brace of the University of Michigan, PHD, leading anthropologist. Like it or not, believe it or not I should have said, "Humans (Homo sapiens) are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. They originated in Africa, where they reached anatomical modernity about 200,000 years ago and began to exhibit full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago." That was taken from an article in Wikipedia titled "Humans." I just wanted to get my facts straight before I stepped out on a limb. The point is that biologically, humans are all Homo Sapiens. We are a species of animal. Race is more of a cultural or social term.

What riff raff ever started with this color of the skin????? Time to get over it as under neath it that disintegrating body is a pile of white bones. Look at the color of the sky, the clouds, the trees, the flowers and a baby's eyes. Color is important in these areas!

I would have used the work "Character", although a persons behavior really does show their character. However in some instances a person can get outraged and do something outside of their character.
Then again, it's not up to you to decide how you are defined, it's by those that define you.

Behavior is a matter of opinion. See my A list would be different than someone elses. I know alot of people who are A's because they have a hole in their behavior trait. Which would make them A-Holes.

it's all about "who" you are, not "what" you are..... Right???

I would think that Martin Luther King would agree with that, and not these race haters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the rest that might lose their megaphone if this issue were put to rest......

The essence of racism is the belief that a man is defined by his race, not his character. It is only when we are strictly consistent in our belief that character is all that matters that we will leave racism behind us. Calls for all members of a race to accede to group think are literally calls for racism.

"Behavior" is not the best word -- I would say "character," which would encompass the complete lifestyle. Leftist-progressives continue to want to categorize everyone by ethnicity and economic standing. This is true racism. As Ward Connerly said, "You cannot believe that I am equal when you treat me differently. So this is about understanding that black Americans have earned the right to be treated equally." RG III is to be commended for speaking truth in the face of leftist racism.

Behavior and actions are more important. On a census I do not like to see the color-race. It shouldn't matter, we're all Americans. Now, giving a physical description of someone I would use color, hair color, build, any description that would help in recognizing that person.

Realistically, when you see a black person, what is the first thing that comes to mind.?

When you hear of a new Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, or Eddie Murphy movie, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

When you see Michelle Obama on the cover of a magazine, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

That's the reality, and it doesn't (necessarily) make you a racist.
