Race vs. Society
Race and society.
Race has a very large effect on the world that we live in today and a even more direct effect on society and the direction of decisions mad among us. While in more recent time people have become more tolarent to the intolerance of different races and beliefs. This i belive is nothing but a direct result of the evil seed planted by many of our founding fathers brought on either through ignorance or an attempt to segregate other for personal gain of power, labors or money.
There are many examples of this dating throughout the centuries. Many that are still burned in the back of many peoples minds still to this day. One fine example of this corrupt way of thinking without necessarily pertaining to color of skin would be Adolf Hitler attempted genocide on the Jewish people. This is a very sick but fine example of one mans attempt of power through segregation of a particular race. Hitler realized that if he could get the people to see how the rich stuck up jewish people as he viewed them where holding back progress in their society he could segregate them and fucus all of the others attention in the direction of the Jews he apear to be a leader of sorts attempting to bring the other out of opresion. In this way Hitler was able to pull the whool so to speak over the eyes of those who would have normally rejected the eratic views of Adolf Hitler. As we now know it through this method Hitler was one of the few people on earth who came the closest to total genocide of a single race.
If we go further back before the time of the crazy Hitler it is still just as disturbing if not more even. A time when men where viewd as cattle for sale at the market. When it didnt matter if a man had no opinion and was only judged by how much money he could make for the coward man sorry enough to call another man his property. Now slavery is well known throghout the ages but I know the one that is burnewd into my mind are those images depicted African men capturing their neighboring enemy tribes for a quick profit. I mean if you look at it from there view point it really was a great solution to an even greater problem. I mean really if you had to worry every day of being invaded your livestock being stolen and most importently your women being taken by other men, what would be the perfect solution to this. Well the white men shure seemed to have the perfet solution and they paid good. So with the the unfogiving slave trade was established.
First the tribes would locate their enemies and with that invade the tride, capture their men and women and take them to an awating boat bount for north amarica and the slave route. now this in itsself really was the perfect solution. No more competion for food or women or even land. A pecect example of survival of the fittest.
Now is you where to be captured you might think, oh this isnt so bad. But you dont know just how wrong you would be. First you are probably going to be beaten to half to death assuming you fight for you land and family. Then after undergoing a good beating you must board a bound for a far away continent. This is no luxury cruise ship either, you start by being laid down in the lower quarters of the ship. There you find hundreds apoun hundreds of slaves bound first hands then feed in very tight compact rows of men. Any closer and they might as well br piled on top of one another. then you must wear chains on both your hands and feet. With this comes no right to be able to relive yourself or even feed or drink. You would be striclly at the mercy of those holding you hostage. Many die from this either from desease they have never been exposed to and have no imunity to brought by the white men. Then those that do survive are then treated no different then say a horse up for bidding. only to live out their life in service to an abusive ungreatful only want more lifestyle.
I can only be happy that today we donot suffer from this level of intolerance and ignorance while we still see examples of this every day it is very much looked down apoun in todays society and mostly reserved to those who are not educated. We can only hope that one day we will be without this level of stupidity and further our advancement in a ever growing society.
