There is no excuse for racism in modern society. When the white people first saw black people I can understand them being treated slight differently because they are different, humans didn’t know any better at the time. What I can’t understand is why we harm our own species. We are all human, black or white. Where ever you come from, you should be made welcome.
Black skin is purely an adaptation by humans to stop sunlight penetrating the skin. It is thought the change happened 1.5 million years ago to shield their newly hairless bodies from the sunlight. The human races ability to adapt is why we are around today. To single out black people because of a necessary change shows that the human race has a lot to learn.
We always refer to ourselves as the most intelligent species on the planet. But that depends how you define intelligence. Millions of ants work together using a simple communication system to build their colony. But so do humans in a way, the difference is ants haven’t discovered nuclear technology capable of destroying entire cities. I think humans aren’t intelligent enough to solve common problems, but too intelligent for their own good.
We are still primitive and have much to learn, but what will it take to make us change our ways, another world war? Imagine what we could do if the money we spend on war was used to build a better life for all; a united earth is the goal. What will we sacrifice to get there?
