The Abbreviated History of Racial Profiling
First, I'm not gonna apologise for anything I say here. If you condemn another human being because of his skin color, the anatomy of his face, or his family tree, YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT.
You can thank the French diplomat and essayist Joseph Gobineau for the racial definitions that we abide by today. He thought this up in the late 1800's, so if you think there is some ancient written word of God that says you as a white man are better than the yellow and black men, you're sadly mistaken. Joseph divided people into 3 categories; white, yellow and black. He wrote that the people of the white race were Aryans, superior and pure, possessing supreme virtues such as honor and love of freedom. Joseph insinuated further that these qualities were held within individuals ONLY if their race remained pure and unmixed. The yellow race people were thought to be business and working class people. Blacks, of course, were servants and slaves.
If you weren't aware of this, this is the first instance of Jews being categorized as a race. They were thought to be a product of racial mixing, in fact. Before this French bastard came along, Judaism was a religion and a community, NEVER a race. That's a whole other post, but follow me on this... it's only in the last century that Jews were classified by their bloodlines rather than their actual personal beliefs.
So, this post was spurred by the recent pollin Sexuality regarding interracial couples. I feel that those who believe that interracial relationships are bad... are ignorant of the roots of actual racial profiling. You're listening to what essentially comes down to the word of a Frenchman from the 19th century. Your church/parents/influence adopted these ideals from nothing more than a few essays written by Joseph Gobineau. I assure you, this man had no more credibility than you or I. He just had an idea that people latched onto at the time.
Please rethink your position on this issue.
