Raising Awareness to protect our #WildLife, Please take the pledge: I would like to join #TeamRhinodotorg in the fight against rhino poaching to ensure a future for people and vulnerable wildlife on our planet: I will never buy or promote any products made of rhino horn, as I know that demand drives poaching.

Elijah Woodmount Are you talking about the Caucasian race or the term white people?

The Caucasin race comes from the caucus mountain in middle eurasia. Little know fact in the USA. Middle eastern people are actually of the Caucasian race. They are considered Caucasian

Elijah Woodmount But you are right in that Europeans subjegatited people that looked like them as well and didn't accept everyone.

Plus they're are people of multiracial backgrounds, which we all are.

Here we have white, black, native American , Pacific islanders and Asian to choose from as race and Hispanic or nor Hispanic as ethnicity.

Seda Jaan I think keeping a census could be of benefit, but I don't trust that the intent we are presented with is genuine. For that reason, I always choose "other" if the option exists. I will choose to not answer if that option exists. If I can't pick either of those, I will choose a random minority (usually whichever is most marginalized).

Shaundra Gail Lamkin Its a long story but the theory is that humans all originated from Africa but it looked very different then. The earth changed do to volcanic activity and there was an ice age for millions of years and some genes in humans mutated to survive that period of time. Whiter skin would be a benefit under those circumstances. I believe that falls under the Darwin theory of evolution.

Most white people do not know history because they are not taught truths in high school, or college that predates 1492 when Columbus "discovered" the Americas. They are schooled in white supremacist colonial isolationism that is based on the manifest destiny theory. However....some white people study cultural diffusioinism, which is all of human history

Mira Siente Why can't we talk about white vs everyone else? Why don't you know where or how white people were constructed? We don't come from Whitopia. This is Colonialism we are dealing with. White people colonized and continue to colonize everyone with money, war, and power. You can't marry or friend away Colonialism. It must be dismantled by everyone.

Scott La Rock .
"Divide and Conquer" - a military strategy used to maintain power; a technique employed by oppressors throughout history to keep subjects ("us") in a divided mentality. A divided people cannot properly communicate with each other (just read some of these comments), properly band together, or cooperate to change an unbalanced, corrupt status quo. Those of "us" who understand divide and conquer as a tactic are free from it and work to free others. Those who don't don't; they just continue wasting their present arguing over a divided past. And the powers that be sit back, laugh and grow wealthier. That is what's truly sad.

Anyone who wants to continue living in a divided mentality, in an 'us-and-them' world is welcome to do so. That's your personal right. You have just as much right to continue living and spreading your divisiveness & separation as I do to continue living and spreading my progress & unity. I ain't mad at ya... just wish more people would wake up.

Following the July 2009 arrest of Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates, on the front porch of his own home by Cambridge Police Sergeant, James Crowley, President Obama invited the two men to the White House for a meeting over beer to discuss the incident. This year marks the ninth anniversary of Obama's "Beer Summit."
At the same time in Philadelphia, Global Citizen held its own Beer Summit in Center City for concerned citizens to meet, mingle, and discuss race relations in both our city and throughout America.
On Wednesday, July 26th we will continue our discussion about race, class and power with the 9th annual Global Citizen Beer Summit and will discuss how we all can overcome the barriers that have continued to divide so many.
Beer, soft drinks and snacks will be provided during the event. To get to the Beer Summit, you must use the main entrance on the corner of 12th Street closest to Filbert Street. Once inside, there will be someone to direct you to where you can find the Beer Summit within the market.
If you are driving, there will be on-street/meter parking and availability in the garage next to the Hilton Garden Inn (1100 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA). The garage entrace is on west side of 11th Street between Filbert and Arch. Discount tickets will be available at the registration table and can be used at the conclusion of the Beer Summit. To retreive your parking discount, simply give your ticket to the clerk when paying prior exiting the garage.
