Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms

Continuing on thoughtful YouTube videos. This speech reminds me of the discussions I have on the existence of race. Often when I make the comparison between humans and other mammals, people are dumbfounded. They have been so conditioned to think about race in particular patterns and to think of humans as so very different, that the comparison completely throws them off. Yet without understanding that many of our most believed beliefs are social constructs that are illogically created we cannot truly break the chains of mental bondage and dependency that many of our people suffer from. Yes the speech in the video is about science and religion, but the concepts are applicable to Pan-Africanism.
