Race

Race implies that we are running for something.

We are separated into teams by color coding.

Racing in competition for a goal to be the first to get there.

Wherever there is.

Why do we choose such termonology to describe others?

Why must we compete with eachother?

I'm not sure. I know some would argue.

Why not end the racing and we all just collaborate,

On creating from our different perspectives,

Without hating, and work together,

To create a more peaceful world,

That is better for everybody?

Learn from eachother.

Teach one another.

Reach for one another.

Create heaven on earth instead of hell.

May we end this "race" [ism] and choose to evolve;

Inspired by being called out for my own unintentional branding of a racial slur

There Is A Lit Here

The call to understand and learn usually means white cultural values for people of color to follow and NEVER lead or think or keep billions of dollars inside their communities than practice Neo-Jim Crow and company store debt with none to low wages.

.

That said, it is long past time for equal justice-and equal economic opportunity. Ask the dead chinese women if it was a hate crime or not. Ask George Floyd. Yes, we need to communicate. The agenda will not be what is expected. This year the theme song Kumbaya will be replaced with Born In The USA.

.

We are sooooo far apart on hating - after 300 years plus, not likely that love will be universal until post 2066. Better to speak up than hope for impossibilities. How do you deal with some white person telling me not to go out with my gun and shoot people. Damn!  I meant to go out today and kill some people. Whoever called you out, just remember --the world is filled with unthinking people with mouths.
