>I'd really like to answer that question.

Thank you!

>What am I angry about?  Let me see... I am angry about the fact that I have been lied to my whole life.

Welcome to human society.  Whatever the setup, there always seem to be haves and have-nots, and in any heirarchical setup there's a governing body. There's always someone who wants to keep things that way (i.e., themselves in power), and one of the easiest ways to preserve the status quo is with consistent and constant deceit.  Very likely feudal and slavery-based systems were the most honest, as they had the highest percentage of non-people peope - one doesn't have to be lied to, after all, if one is oppressed enough.
> Never in all my years have I ever been told the truth about equality. Natural law states that there is no equality.

Which 'natural law' is this?  Gravity?  Inertia?  Sorry, being silly there. Seriously, though, to what do you refer?  And what sort of equality?  It's a very vague term.

>  The rights to which you are entitled aren't determined by what you are,(human or otherwise) but are determined by integrity, intellect, power and strength.

That's a statement of opinion, not 'natural law'.  You can tell by the use of the words 'rights' and 'entitled'.  Rights are a pretty fiction - the word has no referent except for an abstract concept in the modern mind.  And entitlement (as it is used) refers to the deserving of something, a matter which is 100% subjective, determined by the one who entitles.  No
natural laws have anything to do with these vague nothings.

>You and your people (or breed for that matter) make your right.

Actually, the fictions we call 'rights' are determined solely by oneself, or, from a social standpoint, those who exert power or the threat of power in one's society - generally peers and authoritarian bodies like governments.  So, only if you are specifically dealing with your
'people' as a culture or subculture that you are within, and looking from a social standpoint, can your statement be said to be true, though far from the whole story.

>You are entitled to whatever it is that you and your people are capable of.

In what society, in particular?  There may be some governmental/social structures around that work that way, but I don't have experience with any.

>  I have been told forever that the difference between black people and white people is solely skin color.

Well, from a certain standpoint that is quite true.  Well, not skin colour but the presence of a higher level of pigmentation (which has other effects than skin colouration).  That is, if you take as a whole all of 'black' people and all of non-'black' people, looking at each individual, that is the /only/ characteristic that is /exclusive/ to the first group.

> This is the furthest thing from the truth that ever was.

No, the furthest thing from the truth that ever was is that Love does not exist.  But I digress.  :)

>Besides skin color there's major differences in hair and eyes.

Yes, due to the extra melanin and such, as I said.  :)

>  Nose structure and arm length in proportion to body height.

That's an overgeneralization.  In truth, it's determined by each person's specific genetics.
