Racism: Revised

If there’s going to be racism amongst ignorant peoples let it be that worldview that tosses every other revision on its head. I can ask a few questions:

What race is known for its physical grace and strength and dominates world sports? What race is renowned for its powerful music and art? I refer to all variety of black African tribes and their gravity and fame. I will de-racify by turning the structure topsy turvy. Black is the super race, right? Didn’t someone come up with the idea of a “Super Race” some time back? That did not work out well. All this rationalizing racism to excuse slavery is just that: rationalization. Racism can make it acceptable to exploit, devastate and ruin an entire human genetic structure that reaches far into pre history. Racism makes it okay to fuck people up and make money off their backs. It’s not complicated. It’s simple lying. Ultimately a lie spins back on the liar and spells doom. We can only hope. We can’t make a home for racism in any culture that calls itself a civilization.
