So let's lift a cup of rum eggnog in holiday cheer that we have gotten over targeting people yellows and reds. Congratulations to us all! Now if we can just conquer pegging blacks and whites the most rival, divisive non-colors of all.
Dear Ones,
But maybe we don't want to change for the better so we can keep fighting and killing and wounding our young people in a corporate war economy wars either consciously or subliminally. The father of race said–in his opinion –the white race" (Caucasians) are superior to so-called blacks, what still is at the bottom of white supremist mentality. He thought white is more beautiful and pure–what fueled Nazis to commit the vicious, inhumane Holocaust (Shoa) on people with darker complexion than Caucasians). Look the father up, he divided race in the late 1700s and the world has become more barbaric ever since then.
When America finally realizes calling American Indians and American Africans, reds (meaning red skins) and blacks (meaning code for slave) we will be shocked to know skin profiling makes it easier commit wars against one another as well as rogue cop brutality. Color-coding is more than a travesty–it is ingrained ongoing religeous racism. When the US bombed Japan the human beings were called yellow japs and gooks, same as in Korean and Vietnam Wars. We slander then we slaughter.
When we peg one another as blacks and whites we fuel brutality and hatred through physical profiling, as we poison our own souls.
Mame.
