Interracial families are defined often with scorn and some derision. Mulatto children are black and white , Asian and white is ..something else…The naming game can continue and is usually defined by geographical boundaries or some religious reference . Unfortunately, that all leads to a separate biased thinking . We all know those thoughts encompass a myriad of threats to our personal very life, liberty and any possible happiness.
The difficulty that human beings have in accepting each other due to skin color, physical differences, religious or life choices can easily be traced to our human limitations and lack of any technology except the wheel, lever and other simple tools of early human existence as one factor, my opinion only, of course.
The fact that humans were and are eaten like other eatable animals is a subject for another day but we human beings are still capable of the most horrific and dastardly antisocial behavior. We have obviously made progress in our twenty million estimated years of existence on our beloved planet Earth. We are, nevertheless, arrogant beyond belief as a group and so full of our individual selves that our biggest threat is Ego Obesity.
It,EO, is a unfortunate obstacle, but it is obviously going to live on. What is important from my view point is that the beginning and history is there for all to refer to and perhaps understand that separation of humans for the racial and religious or differences in life choices is not only painfully stupid but extremely costly in human lives and material(money?) losses.
Technology …has become high….er. The vehicles of transportation have continued to evolve or grow and expand….Bicycle and Rickshaw to Motor driven cycles and cars of all sizes. The Horse is sometimes allowed to be a loved member of the house as a pet ….only. Boats from canoes to cruise ships that would shame the “Titanic”and…. Air travel…Fuhgedaboutit.
More Tech or High..er technology..drums to Ipad or whatever!!!!
Do you think if humans could access each other for any of the 20 million earlier years as they can now or only the last 150 years …..that the “obstacles”, and blind stupidity coupled to a unbelievable stubbornness and terminal resistance to progress could ever be as popular?
I doubt it…..we learn from our mistakes! That is why we continue to live and other life species does not!
All of this social discomfort of today has it’s roots or beginnings …..in the “dark ages”..no pun here. Life is time to many of us and changes over time have been continuous in our collective human life. Our growth must be, sooner or later, represented in our actions.
Without our growth we could not have reached this clarity or accumulated this level of knowledge…..so we are ..truly progressing ..growing….socially. Our individual human life is short but collective life is continuing.
Perhaps, in the future people will not be amazed by the color, or ethnicity, or trivial borderlines of origin of a individual ,super athlete, or celebrity…. because those barriers to free thinking and unconditional acceptance will be history.
Yes , we have been the product of mixed, hopefully hot sexual activity for the longest…we all have mixed DNA….(hi-tech at work) only anti-science people have trouble with this stunning new…. tool?
Skin color is morphing…We will all be a healthy ..beige…in the future! just joking?
I seriously think it is totally possible, not necessarily the “beige” or how insignificant can color be?
Yes, in fact, we will be better in every way and our social harmony will be the most pleasurable because ..because we are humans and we learn from our mistakes ……
