Color-coding people is insidious–black, red, yellow and white. Different tones of complexion are beautiful, but these made up colors for human beings have taken on malicious meanings. Those living closet to the Equator for millions of years had the darkest skin until people migrated north after melting of ice ages. Now that American Africans and Caucasians are permitted by law to intermarry, all people will soon be one general tone of protective pigment. So how are we going to distinguish who is who? The same way people have done for years, classify by nationalities or place of origin.
Dear Ones,
We've grown up and no longer call Asians yellow thanks to Nobel–Pulitzer laureate Pearl Buck who wrote the Good Earth. We no longer call First Americans reds, except for Washington Red Skins who don't care whether they demean indigenous people or not. But why do we still peg people the most rival non-colors, black and white? This was started by a Caucasian who thought "white people" were the most beautiful
Every time some one is called black or white, physical profiling is rampant. Now that hatred groups ruling government behind closed doors (like separate public faucets to divide people) have been exposed for decades, some biblical religionists have a hard time classifying people as American Africans. They call them blacks, color-code for slave. Maybe they can't spell, one of my short comings.
The truth of the matter is every time someone says "blacks" or "whites" they expose their ignorance when it comes to the history of the term human race. This is blatant physical profiling, what happeed to Freddie Gray and all other young American Africans who have gotten no respect or dignity for more than 150 years after the Civil War.
