In order to achieve a social and economic equality, we need to change the core of humanity.
Premised under Darwin, life and more specifically humanity is based on propagation. Racism i contend, at the core, is self-preservation and the propagation of a unique species. Dilution of a gene pool allows the eventual eradication of a trait or group; as such in order to achieve equality we need to change the reason for being.
For thousands of years, human lived long enough to propagate then died. This allowed for the continuation of the gene pool .Though certain traits were eliminated, the overall structure was maintained (black skinned tone, white skin tone, language structure) continued to thrive .
However human curiosity allowed to obsess and then experiment on what’s was beyond the horizon. However our base code still maintains an innate routine that calls for self preservation. This interns manifests itself as sub-groups (tribes, race, language etc.).
To achieve the third wave of human evolution, we need to define a new reason of being. The basis of why we exist needs to shift from propagation of the species to enlightenment. Am not sure how to change this base code, but a wise man said to know and define a problem is the first step to having a solution.

I don't think racism is not in the core of our self, I think it is in the surface, right were low self steam is - trying to overcompensate for a lack of a meaningful live - creating a fictitious birth right because an x skin color.

All life is codependent every organism relies on upon another organism down to a cellular level (then down to a chemical level then down to atomic) so the idea is that complex organisms started from cells being codependent on the smallest of basis these cells would either acquire new cells or create them for certain tasks when there was new cells they had the same evolutionary trait or ability as the last (to survive) and to survive they would change or create new cells (adding a machine into the system to improve efficiency) effectively making more and more evolutionary potential but as long as each original cell still served a purpose to the other and the other to both they would not separate nor perish from their co existence effectively building complex life
an interesting idea this brings up is that "you" are just another organism in a collection of organisms all working to survive but you are the input and out which is needed to comunicate with the the environment aka the macro world which is unneeded in the micro world because the processes are much simpler instinct and the machines in the system require little interaction in-between each other except traded nutrients or perhaps it's just that the environment is so small and steady for the organisms that they simply do not to be adaptable which is why all faster moving larger amount of space covering creatures need a problem solver
nd when you think about it Humans and our ancestors have Always! been the farthest expanding organisms perhaps complex brains evolve just from expansion and the need to be highly adaptable in order to find sustenance in an ever changing environment which would explain our want to go to space and as we continue to do this we will become even more adaptable as a species
Ps...good idea but enlightenment is far into the future for our species brother

I have no idea where you are going or want to go with this "idea" ... what is the idea?
This appears to be based on race ... but the title suggests that the 1% argument also.
I need to know and define your idea to suggest a solution.

Are you asking a question about how to get rid of racism?
Are you suggesting that "social and economic equality" should be humanity's goal and that the desire to pass one's genes on is at odds with this goal or result?
Do you have a specific definition of "enlightenment" in mind?

Yes.
To achieve the social and economic equality, "we need to change the core of humanity".
Tow ways:
(1) Evolve into a new species that detects the INVALID happiness, which makes the inequality.
(2) Let people know what invalid happiness is and quit it.
(For INVALID (ineffective) happiness, see the 1st article, points 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)

I would counter that racism is a social construction. If it were compared to Darwinism, then it should be compared to social darwinism. A construction designed to preserve the unequal distribution of resources towards the dominant (white) group. However, I do not think racism is innate or has anything to do with raw preservation.
I do agree that the wants and needs of humanity need to be reassessed, particularly within the global north. Western countries are the biggest culprits, and until we recognize how our consumption is destroying the planet and resulting in catastrophic inequality in developing nations it will continue to be a predicament. I am not a socialist, but I will not deny capitalism's role in the matter.

Let's start with banning, making illegal, fining and sending to prison - then only will the world finally be a perfect place.
