Brown and Pink Thinking


The Cheap Dude is a complete racist. That is, he hates all ‘races.’ The human race is the only race, and mostly ignorant, childish, and arrogant. We are all God’s mongrels.

Divisions in the world by race are bogus. ‘Race’ is a creation of governments and societies to keep certain groups in a lower class status. Somebody has to do the grunt work: the desperate, the conquered, the robbed, the stolen. Keep them hungry and frightened, they’ll do as they are told, dirt cheap.

The old Book good Christian folk pretend to believe, states that mankind is one race. God “…hath made of one blood all nations of men….” Acts 17:26. This is not ambivalent, wishy-washy, equivocal, nor “taken out of context.”

Science has proved beyond question that essential human DNA is exactly the same among all humans, from aborigine hunter/gatherers (clearly superior culture, by the way,) to bank Owners with their golden toilet seats. No ‘race’ can be superior to another ‘race’ because there is no such thing in human genetic reality.

If “The Bible” and “Science” agree on something, it is likely as correct as any knowledge can be. Hate (or superiority) based on “racial characteristics” indicates profound intentional stupidity. Haters “reap what they sow,” that is, blind irrational hate.

Good and bad, dumb and smart, high and low, every ‘race’ contains every kind of person. ‘Racial’ divisions keep the Owners’ power safe. If we in the trenches are busy hating each other, we will never figure out who really deserves our hate, nor act accordingly.

Cheap Dude was raised in a mostly kind-hearted cult, with one little flaw: it was openly institutionally racist. His adult life was mostly spent in small towns, full of kind, hard-working souls, many of whom were also happy racists. There were no ‘people of color’ in town to know, let alone hate, but “My daddy hated niggers, so do I.” This is neither rational nor righteous.

So Cheap Dude became a complete racist. He especially hates rich folks who have plenty but help no one. Who whine about the most recent immigrants, and who want 500 years of slavery, theft, and murder to disappear with a patriotic wink. He has known many such folk.

Every person on the planet wants two main things for self and loved ones: A warm dry safe place to live, and enough food to feel well. We can try to make this happen for everyone, or not.

Be it hereby decreed: A conscious step in the evolution of our species, by deciding, as a planet, to play nice no matter the melanin. Just say om. Let the War Salesmen wait in the food stamp line for once.
