race+originate



Bible- According to a religious aspect all humans came from Noah and his wife. What race was Noah? Was there different races before then? The church is real interested the idea of race. Whenever i type where did race originate the first page of the Google search all came up with christen sites. Does this mean that race is bias? I think that it is interesting that the church has a very big opinion on the church.

This is just one of the sites that i found on Google. [|Christian Site related to race]

 We have been studying the first civilizations known to man in our history class. I think that maybe race started with these civilization. When people started to form into the first civilization along with that civilizations came government. I think thatin away early governments had a ruler that was superior to everyone. When someone is an emperor they are superior to another and can make choices that others cant. I think that is similar to race. In a since race is a classification of people. It was brought around in my opinion to make a certain group of people superior to others. In early Mesopotamia we have examples of segregated classes. Just in there laws ([|Hammurabi code] ) you can tell that they have three major classes. Free, freed, and slave. Could these have been the early classifications of race. In the [|Royal standard of Ur] we see another clear example of segregation. In the tablet on the war side there are people getting run over. Does this mean that they are inferior. Is race just a way of calling somebody inferior to you?



What I noticed throughout my research on race is it maters what point you are looking at. When I type into Google "why do Asians" the first thing that pops up are a bunch of negative windows for example, why do they have slanted eyes and why do they stink. But this was not just for Asians it was for whatever "race" I typed in. The information that popped up was always negative does this mean that we are all stereotypical. I think that race is the epitome of [|negativity]. No matter what you do there is always someone looking at someone else in a negative way. People have been in a cycle of [|hatred] so long that it is almost impossible to get out.



Some people say that race never exits but based on my research I would have to disagree. I think that race is just a classification of people. I think of it like biology. Without classifications there would be no way to classify bacteria. Like that I think that race is just a classification. Without race how would we classify the 7 billion people in the world. In my mind that is all that race is. When we where born it is just a natural way to classify people. when you have two different people from different parts of the world the first thing you do to talk about them is to talk about there race. I think that as long as humans have been around on this earth they have classified people. Back when there where hunter gathers they might not have known it but they knew what race was. Like a bird knowing how to fly race is ingrained in our mind. No matter what we do we will always know what race is. As long as humans have been alive there has been race.

What is race? When some people use the word "race" they think of it as a biological classification. Other people use "race" as a social classification. If you find that interesting here is some further details on it.  If i had further time to research i would see if i could find more of the first civilization that had different races in it.
