Racial Divergence

“There is no life without death.”

Evolutionary indigenous
Nomads were Mongoloid.
Scavengers were Australoid and Caucasoid. 
Barbarians were Congoid and Negroid.
We became civilized but within, nations were lost.
A great division of humankind characterized by our features, we are all a myth of the Mayans.
Genetically distinct we are formed as a species – humanity.
Nevertheless, famine plagues us.
War is born here, near, and far.
We are no more than the human race.
However, we have known discrimination because we immigrate.
God confused the languages to eliminate this type of hate.
A great nation form from this ideology and is named the United States [of America].
America has genes to produce olive, black, brown, and white offspring.
In the North, we stand.
The Racial Golden Rule states that we are rightfully given a separate place that provides racial freedom via racial separation and independence.

White people immigrated.
Black people were brought as slaves.
Via the natives, this eminent country - this eminent domain was made.

I come from Canada, my country and my home is filled with racial divergence. I am of French, German and English Heritage. My wife moved to Canada when she was nine from Hong Kong and our son is engaged to an East Indian Girl. I believe I am living in the best country in the World. Still we humans have a long way to go before we will truly understand how to live and accept our brothers and sisters.
