I'm Not Black; I'm Reddish Brown.

The more I think about it, the more I am forced to conclude that the thing about race is a big fat trick.Oh, sure. I know the old excuse for such categories is supposedly scientific. Members of the Human Family. Right.
Trouble is, there are about as many actual "Black" people as there are "White" people. None.
I have seen some seriously "dark" people in my life, but none qualify for the term "Black". And if there ever was any "White" people, they were so pale they were dead!
Please. Let's get real people. The clever, if evil, notion is to place Africans of any decent beneath
the "pure" Whites.
Such mischief! Useful subliminal trick working for those who claim such a title, and against those usually blind folks at the negative end. Proof?
Right in the Neighborhood. Do you really think "Blacks" always killed each other like they do now? Not!
Oh, to be precise, there always has been killing, But in my 57 years on this Planet, I have never seen it to the extreme I am witnessing it in the present.
Some people have never really fallen for the trick. I have never heard an Asian person call themselves "Yellow". Or the proud natives of this land call themselves "Red".
Deep stuff, huh?
See ya next time....
