Stupid Hypothetical Question of the Day

Suppose through gene therapy America's youth could change there skin color as simple as it is to dye hair. What skin color would America's youth decide to be popular and trendy. I say the majority would chose to be black. Male and females would find it cool to be black.

I realize it is hypothetical, but I suspect the America's youth would think it to be way cool. No one would care to be as pale as a Swede. A nice deep tan would be too easy to do. Maybe it would be out of rebellion, but I suspect it would be popular.

Next, there would be a new generation of Caucasian youths with a new dark skin tone calling each other niggar and making a hip mockery of the word. The term would no longer be a derogatory description. It would only be offensive to those formerly "oppressed" people feel they have lost a source of oppression.

Which would make me wonder what the "black community leadership" would say. Would the Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's cry racism, when in effect, neutralizing skin tone would end racism? Would they say "No fair. That's our skin color. You can't use it. We've had to suffer because of this skin and now you are stealling it just like our music, clothes and ..."


Yes, this is a stupid question, but if it happened, it would show just how irrelevant skin color is. Many would say "My kid would never do such a thing." But, think about today's suburbanized youth's. I suspect they would do it in a minute if given the opportunity.
