Racists

Racists today are those who label others racists. It’s no different than labeling someone a witch long ago in the hope of directing the hysteria of the crowd their way. People who are insecure for whatever reason need to bring others down to justify being down themselves. Is it racist to acknowledge racial differences? Of course not, just as it isn’t speciest to acknowledge differences in species. People who acknowledge these differences are called biologists. People who acknowledge racial differences in humans are called talent scouts (doctors and detectives) as their racial profiling gets them looking in the right places for the best athletes, artists, scientists, engineers (diseased and criminal). The world is, if nothing else, a place of specialization and differentiation each region, each people evolving its own strengths and weaknesses. And if this reality offends you you’re likely one of those accusing others of being racists. (10/4/23)
