    I won't live to see it but eventually this racial quantification will cease to be a factor

    The great thing about that photo leading this article is that from an anthropological standpoint, the country will eventually become non-melanin specific as races inter-marry and reproduce to the point where there is just "us."

    I'm sorry I won't live to see that day because all this racial bullshit has been continuing to drag our country down since its inception.
