"RACE" DEFINED
"Race" is a modern philosophical fallacy codified in discreet systems of cultural preferences, hierarchies, laws. By "modern" is meant since the commencement of the African slave trade, first , by Arabs in the 8th century with Islam's conquest of Egypt and North Africa, second, by waves of Western Europeans in the conquest, genocide, repeopling and commercial development of the Americas, in the 16th century.
By "fallacy" is meant misattribution of personal content to particular appearances, without more; as a superficial gradient that was both color-based, hair-texture defined, categories that were conveniently used by nations, religions, colonies, tribes, either to aggregate, or to discriminate in favor of, or against, people en mass in the allocation, or not, of goods, services, lands, privileges; to the exclusion of any individuals' merits or aptitude.
"Philosophical" means knowledge. Thus, entire knowledge systems were misappropriated, corrupted, suborned and polluted to facilitate the dissemination of race fallacy throughput societies, as truth, fact, law, science, to the wresting of art, nature, scripture, history, literature.
As a "system" it is transmitted from one generation in parri passu to the next, as innate, inherent, indivisible.
