As a child growing up in suburban Arroyo Grande I never hated another person. Well, that’s not entirely true. I had my share of dislikes. That guy that punched me, the girl that laughed at me when I threw up in sixth grade class. It was less of a hating or maliciousness and more of a crash course in the aspect of a social pecking order. In fact, when being told a racial or slanderous joke, I wouldn’t even get it. After being on the planet for an indeterminent amount of time I came to realize that the human race as a whole would benefit from a non racially biased community.
Now does that mean that white must go, or is it more believable to see the influx of other genetic races and beliefs as a more profitable way to go about it. As a white heterosexual male from a middle class family, the parents taught us, the children, to love one another and to love our common man. Not to readily go out and persecute the “other races” purely because of the color of their skin. It is vitally important to look at the problem of racism as a disease that should be on the world vaccination lists as a number one priority. Can you imagine what would happen if people in general couldn’t blame “ the white man” for all the countries ills?
Imagine if you will that there is no longer a white majority. Immediately following the downfall of the Caucasian man there ensues a power struggle to fill the void. The liberated Asian front moves to block the power of the African American Coalition. What makes you think that because the whites are no longer in control and able to tell people what to do, that someone else won’t seize the reigns of power and pick up the slack? People of another skin color or ethnicity are in control of the majority vote. It’s amazing that people think that once the whites are no longer in power that all the hatred would simply disappear. They are wrong. The power struggle would spread throughout our cities, our towns, even within the fragile borders of the family unit. There would still be pockets of white controlled areas, towns and counties, that would breed even more of the racial hatred and uneducated slanders that make enlightened whites that love their fellow man hang their head in shame. The real power is proper education and love for our fellow man, not who’s in charge of what. The hate and fear of histories bloody nostalgia will always influence our actions and our beliefs.
The true mark of the evolution of the race of man as a species would be to throw off the fear we still carry from our genetic ancestors and educate and enlighten ourselves. Experience the joy of the birth of man as a peaceful creature and not as the animal he is, barely above the food chain he prey’s on hoping the fire won’t go out. If you look closely you can see that that is what we as a race are still doing. A few million years go by and we’re so busy patting ourselves on the back for building a bigger computer that no one can really use efficiently that we don’t realize that we’ve corrupted ourselves, our children, and our world. We let our lives go bye thinking we’re going somewhere or being someone that we lose sight of our right for happiness and in turn we lose the ability to break free of the circle of material gain.
