If you need some help, some authors to start with are Michael Omni and Howard Winant. Also, Marilyn Halter has a good book about the Cape Verdean-American struggle with race and ethnicity where she touches on the discussion of race being a social construct.

I was being sarcastic.
I'm not trying to learn anything from you guys concerning social construction.
What I said was just a way to redirect you guys from your calling me names. I figured, have you guys think I want to learn something and then your little egos would stop the name calling and actually come to my aid. None of you guys paid attention to my roll eyse face after the post or you did yet you missed the tone of sarcasm. I am not mad at you guys at all and I hope you are not mad with me.
I think you know what you are talking about, in terms of knowing what you have been taught. I didn't mean at all that what you have been taught seems to be the real deal and therefore I am open to learn more about it. I understand deep down below, what this social construction is all about. That is why I asked you to tell me how is it right or socially acceptable for British settlers to get a way with renaming their self South Africans? It is not right for them to do that and if we let people get away with thinking that because they forced their way into someone else's country and been there for a long time that that makes it okay for them to now say they are original Africans, we would really be setting our self op for future damage.
Social Construction is seems to be a well put together sociological theory that was put together not only for good converstation and food for thought but also to justify the theft of other peoples land and to justify the same rights of the people who first occupied that land. Political rights, rights of ownership to land and so forth. Social Construction, it is a set up.
How many black people do you know that stole land and then wanted to claim they were the originals to that land? If black people went to Europe right now, without even trying to steal the land and just settling there, no way in the world would they be trying to claim original Europenas to that land and if they did, they wouldn't even be able to get away with it.
