Okay... you win. I'm gonna have to keep talking. First off... The money we use in the USA has value. It is backed by the gold kept in Fort Knox. As for other countries... I have no clue.
Race was not made up by someone for evil use. It was the name we gave to that level. It keeps us separated from each other. The reason someone has dark skin is years of evolution protecting them against the sun. Which separated them into a different race then the ones with light skin. It's a scientific term. It's not a term we put on a form of hate. Now, the act of racism is. That’s the act of hating someone just because they are a different race then you. Okay? I am in no way trying to justify racism. But you have to understand the basis of it before you can denounce it as stupidity. Okay?
And in reference to what Cynthetiq has just said. Look at it this way. Racism for animals would be like a panther hating a leopard because it had spots.
