RACE IS A ILLUSION

 

Race is a illusion, predicated on the grounds  that people must be categorized into types. We stopped being people when labels were attached, to separate us from our uniqueness and consign us into a generic indeterminate vague collective.

African ? NO. Tanzanian, Kenyan, Ethiopian, Ghanaian, Congolese – Diverse tribes and peoples, herded like cattle into a broad irrelevance of ethnicity, that fuels nationalistic zeal to claw back identity, tottering on the precipice of extinction!

There is a natural instinct of people who believe they are under threat, to batten down the hatches and declare all foreigners, persona non grata.

 

A Farmer may say, “I keep the pigs penned lest they escape or trample and destroy.”

So they are caged to enable him to protect his investment and land. The barrier then is a physical manifestation of his fear of loss.

 

There are many conversations about race – But race is just one of the barriers erected against understanding.

 

Beliefs are entrenched and settled over centuries. This process that ingrains them, were designed to be unyielding and immutable – One generation teaches the next ad infinitum. During this entire lengthy process, not one single word is uttered about a exit strategy. Therefore, the generation of British people, demanding their Caucasian counterparts deal with the issue of race, must themselves now consider, that these Caucasians have not the tools so to do!

 

The British Ostrich stare,  stony gaze or withering look, is a inherited trait, probably considered a trustworthy reaction to unreasonable demands – These being, the insistence that they dispose of a problem, they are not in fact equipped to address !!

 

Total illusion:
