For those who say that important biological and medical distinctions are indeed \u201crace-influenced,\u201d such as the incidence of certain diseases (which are not at issue with RPI), I\u2019ll wager that ending our \u201crace box dependency\u201d 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 \u201crace group\u201d terms, we won\u2019t know what human truths we are not seeing, that may be of even greater value to everyone.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Preach on Brother Adam.
