Why is it that colour still matters in this world?

i don't know, but everyone is created equally from my point of view

What a boring world this would be if we all looked alike. I wish there were more colors of skin to look at. Pink skin, blue skin, green skin, rainbow skin, violet and purple would be wonderful. Lets celebrate our differences and enjoy diversity. Look at all the different kinds of creatures on this Earth. There are so many species, we have't found them all yet. We can look forward to people from other planets looking different than just skin color. Wouldn't we forget about our colors then?

I think that some countries, such as Canada, no longer ask about race on government documents.  Since we're all members of the human race, I suppose it doesn't matter.

It sounds like you may be dwelling on the past.  In this day and age, at least in this country,  there are no issues about skin color. All skin tones can be beautifull. . . the thing is . . each individual must be content with the skin they live in and not even think they are different from anyone else. Each person is made in God's image and God decided what skin tone to paint you with.  That is good enough for me. I do not question my skin color or any one elses.

I think it is because they use the colour black a lot.\nThis is not considered the most cheerful colour and i suppose it might make you wonder about thier outlook on life.

Thats right love has no color.  Even everyday life for me has no color, we are all people and we share this earth.  Everyone has their own personality and no single race is different from any other.  I despise people who can't look beyond the color or race of someone.

We are all Americans, all of us, and to imply that one color of people should only stick to one color is discrimination.  Which is kinda ironic considering that most of the people who stick to one race color are the same people who whine about everyone else being racist.  We are one people, at the DNA level we're all human and skin color shouldn't really matter much.  This sorta devision is what keeps racism a issue, because if people can't relate to each other they are going to dislike or be suspicious of each other.  Frankly, the sooner we realize that the only race that matters is the human race, the better.

Ofcourse it does.  But not if you mean "matter" in a negative context.  I believe it is our differences that make life interesting.  Certainly, the variations in skin color go far to making us interesting looking.  How boring would  it be if we all looked the same.  Unfortunately, in this world "different" seems to equal "bad", "less-than", or "insufficient".  If you don't equate skin color with the negative, you can experience the beautiful spectrum of the human race, just as you would the plants and flowers in a garden. The completion of the mapping of the human genome may well put the race/color question to rest.  At present, from what I understand, it seems there are strong indications that we're all related in some way. If you only see difference as negative, what a shame for you!  You could be rejecting a part of yourself.

If there is it's the ones that SOME black's  put up themselves. I don't think many white people really care about color anymore. It's all in their heads (black people).\nSome of them still want to feel like white people owe them something for what happend to their great great great great grand pappy. As if they were the only race that was drug into slavory.  I'm not black or white and I see that.

You're right it should be resolved, but it has been around since people started interacting. There seems to be no solution on this mortal plain. If you be live in the hereafter there color will not matter. Until then just be the best person that you can be, and try to set a positive example for those around you. Change what you can accept what you can't.

From a physics/physiology standpoint, we have color because light waves come in different lengths and our eyes perceive a limited band of thoses lengths with differing responses by light sensors in the eyes.\n\nFrom an evolutionary standpoint, color vision (as opposed to black and white), gives us a great deal more information to process our environment.  For instance, a brightly colored bird might hardly be visible to an animal with only black and white vision, but we see it easily, even against a confusing background.  Color can help us see the difference between animal (browns) and plants (greens), healthy(a child covered in mud) and unhealthy (a child covered in blood), and other differences that are more easily recognized due to the greater information richness available.

I personally do not do not think God wants us to keep to or own color or race, after all we are all Gods children! I believe god is more concerned with the spiritual than the physical. What bothers me is when the children of mixed races get the brunt of racism or that they may be torn to decide what race they belong to and therefore feel ostracized by both. This is so sad.

Yes, sadly, Skin Color is still an issue.  Racism and sexism is still a huge issue in America.  Think about it. How many huge-businesses can you think of... (like the Gap) that are run by women, Latinos, or African-Americans?  All racism, for all races is still there. Racism for African-Americans is very high in the South, sadly.  My advice to you is just fight against it as much as you can and be as understanding and compassionate as you can be. You may not be able to change the world, but you can change a few lives one day at time.  \nEmily

First of all, amen to that.  I am a white guy, so you will probably just brush me of in saying that, but I seriously mean it.  People are people no matter the color of their skin or any other physical attribute.  Guess what, all of your insides are the same color no matter what color the outside is.  The differences that really arise are differences in physical attributes (which mean very little if any at all) and the differences in cultural influence.  The culture of each group is what really makes each seem more different in the minds of the other groups.  For many people, it is hard to get that in their thick skulled heads, but for me it is very obvious.  See people for who they are, not for who they appear to be on the outside.

Colour is all about light.  The amount, quality, and colour of light can make a difference.\n\nYour clothing is reflecting light, thats how we see what colour it is, it can easily reflect to your eyes.

no because not everything is black and white.
