Michael, Sara, and Devon are in a really heated discussion about the ideology of oppression when it comes to race, class, and gender. God made race, race is fictional, and race is a construct. You enter the conversation giving your sociological perspective on the subject, express your comments.
Race is one of the most important evil social design that is invented by the Europeans to dominate others in the world. Thus, race is a social construct which is embedded in their values because they wanted to project white skin, Christianity and their intelligence that’s tied to technology as superior. This led them to hate all the other people of color, religion, culture etc. This would mean that they were not able to digest the fact that everyone in the world is equal and that they should stand equal to others. This made them invent the term race and it in return helped them to invent slavery and other oppressions that followed. They invented race because they were insecure about accepting others and it’s not basically their superiority complex which only brought out their ignorance. Although the American constitution suggests that all human beings are created equal by god and that they deserve their natural rights, it was true only for the whites and not for others.
