I ask this because when most people use race to describe a person, more often than not, a person that is "black" is thought of to be of a lower class. What do you think?

Social Classification.

We were never black until Europeans attempted to beat the culture out of our ancestors, and replace our identities with the only way that they found easy to identify us - skin color. They defined Africans as the opposite of what they considered themselves. That has persisted until today, making it no surprise that the term black is thought by many to mean lower class.

Ok, who said that "BLACK" is a LOWER CLASS?

When you FIGURE that one out then U will know why it is RACIST/RACIAL STUPIDITY.

I DISAGREE because it is NONSENSE. U came to that CONCLUSION about the HIGHLIGHTED because U R IGNORANT and FOOLISH, thus EASILY led.

You clearly don't understand that vast array of cultures that our ancestors came from. Just because you have the need to cling to a label that the "white man" gave you does not make it applicable to Africans before Europeans arrived.

You have a nerve to call anyone else easily led. What, do you really think that a Yoruba greeted an Ibo like "hey my black brotha!" GTHOH!

it is generally assumed by White ppl, to my knowledge. Look at the way we started. We as a people of color know that we're the cornerstone of civilization, descending from great kings and queens, but in the European/White world. we started as a lower, barbaric being or slaves. Which is why i would assume that when they think of Black, they think of social status right along with skin color.

And your WACK CONCLUSION is BASED on what?

Just because you have the need to cling to a label that the "white man" gave you does not make it applicable to Africans before Europeans arrived.
And what is the WACK label that the WHITE MAN gave me that I have IDENTIFIED as being?

You have a nerve to call anyone else easily led.
Yes, U R EASILY LED, because your first two COMMENTS have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with what I have STATED.

What, do you really think that a Yoruba greeted an Ibo like "hey my black brotha!" GTHOH!
Your STRAWMAN BABBLE doesn't WARRANT a RESPOND because it is not my WORDS, but yours.

COME again.

EUROPEANS were the BARBARIANS. They're the UNCIVILIZED. Where do you THINK the word SLAVE came from?

Its a social construct genetically we are quite similar
