I'm haveing a hard time remembering who is on which side of this argument.
so just for the record, I am on the side that says race exsists.
my post was there to ilistraight how even if something has fuzzy boundaries it can still be an accurate label for something. I like to use Reductio ad absurdum sometimes.

the color of one's skin is not an effective indicator of those differences. Skin color does not in any way demonstrate other genetic traits. No analogy can really be used to effectively illustrate the difference. To say black people are on average stronger than white is similar to saying people with green eyes are smarter than people with brown; these are unrelated things, and to claim they're related is a fallacy.
Although there may be a statistical example that yes, green eyed people are smarter, it doesn't have any real relevance in the end, people are smart because they're smart, not because they have green eyes. People are strong because they're strong, not because they're black.
It is not good to believe that having black skin makes you stronger and stupider. It is precisely this kind of thinking that perpetuates the lies of racial superiority and inferiority.
are you hearing voices or something?
You realize that race is almost entirely defined by culture, right? As I said before, the idea of race is a societal construct, something that humans invented in their own minds to make themselves feel better about how they were treating other people.
maybe if you keep saying it over and over it will make it more true?
aside from the fact that "race" is a word of the English language, and words have what ever meaning the people of a culture decide to give them. your argument has basically been "no it isn't you white supremacist who says that separate but equal if fine. it's not! and your bad for thinking it is!" this whole thread, which just leaves the rest of us wonder what in the **** you are talking about.
