White People Think One Black Person's Success Proves Racism Is Over

125. Fixating on the trees and missing the forest...

Were at a time when exponentially accelerating technology will produce the equivalent of 20,000 years of progress this century (measured at the average pace between 1980 and 2000). This progress will most certainly give us advanced genetics, nanotechnology, and who knows what else.

If the technology isn’t available to modify your own genome to make yourself black, white, yellow, or purple with pink polka dots by 2050, it most certainly will be shortly thereafter. In this century, heart disease, cancer, even ageing itself will fall to progress. Humanity will expand off this planet and start colonizing space, spreading out into all corners of the universe...

And here you are fixating on a transitory issue that will soon be gone instead of putting your energies to use on something that really matters (that cancer cure sure would be handy).

All this political, racial, economic, squabbling will all be swept away soon enough by the forces that are coming.

Worrying about the sandcastles on the beach while a tidal wave is headed your way is folly indeed. Let's get our priorities right here.
