I was taught that crap in elementary school (that one day we would all be one homogeneous race and that rainbow would shoot out of unicorn butts on that glorious day).
I don’t think I was taught anything about it. Gosh, you really can’t say some things, but I was glad I was white. It’s unleashed a torrent of thoughts I don’t want to talk about.
I'm black, but my mom told me the same thing when I was a child. She would tell me that, "One day there won't be any racism, because there will only be one race -- "café au lait".
I guess you could say she was a forward thinker for her day, which would have been mid fifties, to mid sixties.
Having come as far as I have in my lifetime, I now understand that we will have distinct and separate races of humans for centuries to come. There won't be one homogeneous human race, even thousands of years from now. The day my mother dreamed of is in a future so far-flung, we can hardly imagine it from our current vantage point.
What's more important than the blending of skins, is the blending of ideals. The Framers set the pattern for that, over two hundred years ago, but we worthless descendants seem to have still not gotten it.
I can only hope, that in some long distant future, a great gathering of humans will sit down together and come to the conclusion that those men of the 18th century had it right all along.
