I'm glad that I saw this thread. I'm taking Physical Anthropology 101 this semester.
"Race" is an artificial human construction based in pre-Victorian science as a way to classify human beings just as earlier Renaissance scientists began to classify all other species. THAT was based on even earlier science... Linnaeus and Mendel's work.
Scientifically there is no "race" in humankind other than we are classified as homo sapiens sapiens.
Scientifically, all attempts to claim that human beings of one phenotype or another are inferior is incorrect.

^ Check out Professor Owl! Nice work.
Here are some factoids I learned in genetics class: humans are so inter-related that humanity as a whole has less genetic diversity than onion plants.
This factoid and mitochondrial DNA results indicate we all are descended from a small group of homo sapiens originally living in Africa - perhaps as small as only a few hundred individuals. Making all of us distant cousins to each other.

CRT is no different from all the other scams running rampant. Someone wants free money. Thats it... in total....nothing more to it really. Its the old ..."IM A LOSER but if you give me money I wont be a loser anymore" thing. Cept it doesnt work. Never has. In a very short time the loser mentality will willingly and gleefully hand his money right back over to the winners of the world only to end up with nothing.
Isn't that cool? We've known for a while now that most of us of European/Asian ancestry have some Neanderthal genes. Some of us also have Denisovan genes, plus genes from a yet-to-be-identified other human species. They've been able to trace our lineage via mDNA all the way back to one individual female who lived in Africa, colloquially named "Mitochondrial Eve."

Well, so much for 'Reparations'. It's pretty obvious by our Scientists here, there is no 'race' and we're all identical.
