WORLD WIDE RACISM

It did not take the shooting of nine Black Christians to teach me about world wide racism.

The way I judge world wide racism is by the number of people who carefully do NOT get tanned, because they know that the darker their skin, the worse they are treated.*

Personally, I think the problem is that racists are wanna be control freaks. They want to control every aspect of the lives of women, of minorities, of people who believe other than they do. If you are not one of THEM, then you are supposed to be subservient to THEM.

I spend a lot of time dreaming that someone else will fill out the nasty legal forms, which ignores the fact that trained legal secretaries make more money than disabled attorneys. Sigh.

As the truly nasty have an increasingly hard time finding people willing to work for them, they look for ways to FORCE people to HAVE to work for them.

People from Africa were made into slaves using reprehensibly cruel methods. I LOVED the book GONE WITH THE WIND, but I always knew that it was a totally romantic view of that world.

I honestly do not understand why people would want to have skin that gets burned by the sun after 10 minutes on a beach.

I honestly do not understand why anyone thinks that the surface of a person is a good way to judge valor, intelligence, loyalty, or any of the other things that make a valued friend.

*This is a health risk. If you are using sun screen to stay "white", then you need to take vitamin D.
