What if there were no racism? What would happen to the world if ever there was no place for racism? Would everyone live in peace? And do you think...

As ugly and
unfortunate as racism is, I don't think it's the main source of most serious problems. Certainly
there are exceptions to this: slavery, white settlers v. Indians, the Holocaust, etc. But most
problems are based on economic or security issues, and these are not race related in and of
themselves. That is, you could take race completely out of the equation and these would still be
issues that cause social problems.

Another way to look at this is to ask: if
everyone were the same color, race, creed, and religion, would problems disappear? Of course
not.
