Black: A Dissertation (Part II)

We must investigate why it is that Black people have some how become the meager minimum race. Why have we allowed ourselves to slip to be looked at as the bottom of the barrel? I began to probe profoundly into African American memoirs and I found that it all started when the Black race started to be seen as the lesser group of Americans back during the slavery days. Slavery has been documented in history books and movies, even television series. One famous series, Roots, depicts slavery in a dreadful and slaughterish manner, which brings to light the callousness and vice that exists in our world. It is hard for me to believe that considering how we are all equivalent people – in God’s eyes, that the world has fallen into a psychological pyramid of race. It is kind of like Maslow’s chain of command and the food pyramid one learns in health. You just assign things in certain blocks according to how essential they are – that is how the world has come upon the topic of people. We have classified races and from what I can tell – Caucasians are on top and Blacks and all the rest follow below, with Black being at the foundation of the cask. There is a challenge that every Black person goes through when walking this Earth. I have discussed this with many of my family members and several of them agree that it is fear that provokes other Blacks and other races to judge or discriminate against Black people. Covetousness is also rife because being Black is being uncommon from other shades of skin color. Anything different is seen as a quandary in our society, which is why there is so much hate and violence in the world. If we could all just get along, there would not be such atrocious manifestations of carnage in the world. I often wonder if the world will ever be passive or utopic due to the fearful citizens that roam the third planet from the sun. Can you imagine how the world would be if this was utopia? Will Blacks ever get the prospect to glisten through the gloom of this xenophobic humanity...?
