Racial Privacy

Adam Abraham’s take – Fear, Rhetoric, and Racial Boxes:

“The current boxes that the Racial Privacy Initiative seeks to have the state of California stop using, are a distraction; unnecessary and in some ways disserving. For those who say that important biological and medical distinctions are indeed “race-influenced,” such as the incidence of certain diseases (which are not at issue with RPI), I’ll wager that ending our “race box dependency” will not set current medical or scientific research back one bit. Indeed, it may actually yield new understanding about the patterns, causes, and incidents of disease, thus giving us heretofore unrevealed, and more effective, insights into their cure. By refusing to look at life in anything but “race group” terms, we won’t know what human truths we are not seeing, that may be of even greater value to everyone.”

Preach on Brother Adam. Ya’ll know my position already.
