When one man, the father of race, invented the term "human race" he decided how many different colored classifications there would be. Since that time in the seventeen hundreds, other men have added more complex races to doubly confuse people and divide us all into acting with freaking monkeyshines.
Dear Ones,
Race betrayal blinds our sight against equality and democracy. The transparent assignment of human beings into rival classes was initiated by white supremist mentality, with the so called divisive "white" race on the pinnacle of the bogus hierarchy.
Skin profiling, now something to be avoided, has hung on for eons of time making racism the serious danger that it has become, even today–a racial myth that the ones designated as top dog want to continue. Historically pegging people"black" as in former days with Italians and indigenous people, reflects refusal to identify American Africans, like American Indians, according what other people are given special privilege–the right to be identified by national categories.
By the way, island people also were captured in Africa and taken to the various ocean islands on Earth to become slaves. Our skin tone, depending how many centuries are ancestors lived near the equator, mutated into our DNA as people moved away from the intense heat from the sun. People today often go to beaches to get back our original homo sapien tans.
Young children are not racists. Uneducated parents, regarding the history of race, precondition kids into being bigets. Some people like to "keep down the Negro" meaning black, also a code for slave. Today jokes against Africans, from the beautiful continent of Africa, are still told behind closed doors.
The American caste system that Indo-Europeans cast upon the people of India, is difficult to rinse out what stained the United States ever since most of our founding fathers bought or inherited people enforced into bondage. President John Adams did not incarcerate people for slavery. He was not included among the heads of the Mount Rushmore Monument.
We need to inspect our own history of discrimination and lack of granting freedom to all people for such a long time in America, land of the free.
