Race

When one thinks about racism, discrimination, elections, and your favorite tv shows, one thing is the same among them: they are all different, and require the seperating of different things. Your favorite tv shows are seperated from your not so favorites. Elections you seperate one from the other, yes from no. In discrimination and racism, your seperating two different things, usually people. Discrimination is against groups of people, inherent in either culture, history, or upbringing, maybe even political ideology. Racism is based on people's appearance. Lets put the appearance to rest right off. We are all human beings. Our blood is red, our hearts beat, our brains think. We all have a skin color, but we all have skin. We all communicate with each other in some way, languages are different but we all have a language. Even the blind and deaf have languages. All of humanity has language. As the blind and deaf cross all of humanity, so does the humanity itself. We are all human. At birth we all, no matter what our skin color or parent's skin color, have the same potential, intelligence, and innocence. We have the potential to live our lives to the fullest, or let it be happy but unaccomplishing, or ended at our own will, or lose it to someone elses, but our potential is the same the day we are born. We are all equally intelligent, our IQ leaves us unable to speak, only an evolved inner sense allows us to know who our mother is, and we communicate the same way: a cry. Our innocence, on the day we are born, is greater than it will ever be anytime in our lives. It is at its zenith because as we live our lives we erode our sanctity, the "curse of the original sin" does not exist, but we create sin simply by being human. It is part of the flawed creation that we are. However, the day we are born our innocence is the same as anyone else who is human. Race does not matter when we are born, race does not matter when we are alive. The government forms ask for race, and never do they ask for human. The government is in itself accepting, as I am sure many of you are as well, of the theory of race. It does not make anyone stronger than anyone else, it does not make anyone richer, or poorer in their lifetimes. The belief in it does. You believe you will fail, you will fail. You believe you can succeed, you will succeed. You need to believe you will succeed when you are doing something, otherwise it is only luck by which you win if in fact you do win. If you believe your richer because of your race, your a fool. Your rich because of your effort, or your dumb luck. However your stupidity in taking your wealth for granted means you will probably lose it, because your race did not give you your wealth and so relying on it to get you more will fail miserably. In conclusion: There is only one race: human. The human race is equal, the same, and gives all within it the ability to make themselves unique and capable of achieving anything. Thank you for reading. Meow.

How Its Done

Due to an illness that keeps me from speaking lately, I will rant literally. Literally instead of verbally. I'm proud of my pun. Today the ravings of a madman will be conducted on the topic of race. Now, this blog is meant to provoke a reaction, and often in media the most provoking things are divisive, shocking, blatantly designed to create ratings through conflict. Creating conflict intrigues our minds. I have a different approach. I provide a reasoned statement with an explanation, almost every time. This blog being a record, my opinion I keep until the last few lines, following a much extended explanation which "normally" will provide both sides. I quote normally because I do not want to commit to providing both sides, I simply wish to say what I want sometimes. In the news they rarely give their reasoning. They bring the analysts on and have them argue the same points every single time, but they never make progress or finalize the issue with a reasoned or balanced opinion because they get five minutes to toss the lines that make impact, like my final two lines, but can never provide the reasoned explanation as I do. I've noticed, and the people who don't read this won't notice, which right now is over six billion people easy, that few people are reading my blog. Sure, I don't advertise like others, sure I don't tell all my friends I have one, sure I have a following of no one, but I don't care. The point is that am giving my opinion. My free speech is sacred and I am displaying my free speech here every time I post. It even allows me to speak when I physically can't, such as right now. I know that unless I do something horrible like threaten someone's life or worse, I will not face anything more than other people's expressions of free speech in response (which I gladly accept as it allows, hopefully, for reasoned debates.) I know that years from now I can do something completely opposite to what I may advocate for here and I won't face anything threatening. I can make a statement that I oppose someone politically and not face house arrest. I know that I can be investigated, indicted, or have a social (sex, family or ect) scandal happen to me and I will still be able to run for and even hold public office. This same freedom I call for needs to be extended to all people in Pakistan excluding those who, as the restriction applies to me, threaten lives or worse (militant fighters of all opposition groups and even a few of loyal groups). I do this because if it is not, your nation may fall apart. You need to allow the judges to return to their posts. This message is not only to the people of Pakistan, but to its president. Musharaff is gone, remove one stigma of his leadership that brought his regime down and gave you your position. Grant amnesty to all involved, move forward from this dark day in your nation's history. I know this may not even reach you, or anyone in Pakistan, but let it be a statement that I will appreciate to be held to account should I ever do otherwise. I give permission to all to call me a liar if I ever do anything contrary to this statement: Release the judges and lawyers held during the Musharaff crackdown before he was elected from office. This has been the ravings of a mad man. Have a good day. Meow. (Post on Race with come following this one.)
