RE: Skin Seep

in Reflectionslast month

Today's topic is very good. I'm glad I came to visit you before going to the kitchen to start washing up.

Lately, I've had a lot to think about regarding the evolution of humanity, the pros and cons. And I've been immersed in the idea that I still don't understand how people are losing their values day by day, the fact that racism still exists, people who spend hours every day criticizing other people's appearance, especially among women.

I personally haven't experienced any kind of rejection because of my dark skin color, and if I ever do, I'll just throw it away (the comment, not the person, ha ha ha). We are certainly attracted to the opposite of what we are or tend to be, that's a fact.

You made me think of a conversation I had a few moments ago with my partner about homosexuals and daily rejection. Today, one of his patients said that “gays” (but in a derogatory way) are not gay unless they are drug addicts, whores, and have bad habits... The worst part is that my partner is gay, and he is an excellent professional, he has no bad habits or addictions, well, except for me, HAHAHAHA.

Anyway, people don't understand that we are all equal, different in color, yes, different in sexual tastes, yes, but the rest is decisions and conditions. Someone who is bad is not so because of their skin color or sexual preference.

But hey, they still don't get it. I guess it's like Snoop Dogg's recent words.

In terms of evolution, we have hardly shifted in thousands of years, but technology has changed immensely. We aren't evolved to deal with it. "White pride" is inevitable, in the same way black pride was. It just speeds up these days. Remember, pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Having pride in something one had no choice in? WTF is that?

Gay is similar to any of the other arbitrary indicators, it doesn't tell much - well, other than sexual preference. But, just imagine being gay back in 1950, having to hide it. People have to hide all kinds of things about themselves though, right?
