Racism

I touched on this the other day, but i think it deserves a spot of it's own. But it is not only racism, it includes sexism, athiesm, and all sorts of god-complex type attitudes, including religion.

We are human. This involves quite a lot of *stuff*. The chemical, physical and spiritual, and also intellectual. It's the last where the problem comes in, we think too much. But with such complex beings, it seems inevitable we would start thinking about ourselves, and othes like us. This is where it all goes pear shaped.

Thr truth is, we think a lot of ourselves. Imagine the reaction when Darwin tells people: Your ancestor is a baboon, this in victorian england. The shock, the horror, the absolute impertinence!! Now feeling good about yourself is one thing, but honestly, we all sit down to shit.

Somewhere along the line, some people decided that they were better than others. It started with our tribe is better than theirs, then quickly became more complex. Fom there they decided that women were inferior, and any woman who disagreed was promptly beaten up. The other tribe regularly got attacked, and any captured and not eaten were treated like foodstuffs, or animals.

So we ended up with a bunch of males running around being assholes. It was very obvious. So musch so that the assholes started looking like animals themselves. At this point they realised that they can't only beat people up, they have to justify it. So they started thinking about how to beat people up and get away with it. They decided that god told them that they were better. Easy enough, since anyone who didn't accept it didn't believe in god, and that would not do. So this group had made themselves gods, even the gods agreed, but you couldn't ask the gods yourself, that's what THEY were there for. God said so.

Then came the ultimate insult. They started realising that god hadn't said anything. Either to them or anyone else. Now they always have something to say about everything, and they're gods guys right? So if a god doesn't say something about everything, he's not a god. Ergo, no comment = irrelevant, and most likely not even there. Hence athiesm. Now here we have about the dumbest idea in the history of the world. THERE IS NO GOD. Oooooooooooooo .... i like that idea. That means .... I'M THE BOSS. No-one or thing better bigger or likely to prove me wrong.

Now here the story gets muddled. You got the guys who believe they're better than the others because they think so. Then you have more who believe they're better because god said so. Then you have the others that think that, because they also think that god isn't there. And anyone who doesn't agree with ANY of the above, well kill them, it'll give the others something to think about.

So i'm right you're wrong and if you disagree i'll kill you. But if you agree with me then the other guys will kill you. And if you truy point out how fuckd up it is, we'll all get together and have a lynching. Because NONE of us can afford to have these illusions broken by a little bit of reality?

*sigh*

All well and good in cave man days, but exactly as i have descibed continues globally today, everywhere. The latest fashion is: i have a lot of money. I am worthy of a lot of money. You don't have a lot of money, ergo you are not worthy of it, ergo i am better than you. Anyone with logic skills, try argue that. It was Ben Franklin who said: All men are born equal. I can't believe someone so smart said something that dumb. They're not, they should be, but they are most definitely not.

The thing that bugs me the most, is the inherent stupidity. I may be smarter then you, fitter, stronger, quicker, more emotional and many other things. But never can i claim to be better in a whole sense than anyone else. As i said, we're all the same animals. Assuming you're better than others means that you have lied to yourself. And once you do that, you misguided. Easy enough to fix something where the person knows better. But these people don't like being told how it is, so they choose to believe the lie, to the exclusion of anything else. Then they try convince you that they are scientific men, rational, thinking free men.

If you read this, know that you are an animal. You eat, breathe, shit and sleep like me, and just like the monky in the zoo. I guess if hearing that disturbs you, you have issues. You need a reality re-assessment. But it's all good. Humility is one of the greatest character traits, and requires honesty and a very realistic world view.

Ok this thread gone on far too long, but thanks for reading, let me know what you think. Peace.
