Social Construction

Befor the lecture, I had no idea that the term "race" was a social construction made by those in society intent on dividing us. Moreover, race is not a scientific term at all. One can imagine how many times througout history those who crave power, and those who want to preserve it have used race as a means to dominate the "lesser" race. It's unfortunuate that humans in general are so consumed with determining what makes us different from one another, instead of realizing the many things that we all have in common.
