RACISM
IS IT A DISEASE?
A Catching evil smart bug carried by blowflys like bigteddy scotty and
workingman former banned posters here who promote racism this long
established disease.
Can our medical researchers discover a mirical Anti Racist cure Pill or
Potion and prescribe it by Pharmacy and Prescription" ?
How is it that we are less racist now than we were a few years ago? Are
we learning a new way? Are we being cured of a disease? I ask what
racist problems did they encounter. At first, they said: None.
Not one? Well there are children who have very little or no English.
What happens to THEM? They have to sit and listen, and gradually they
get the language. Is there any attempt to teach the white kids THEIR
language or their customs? Now and again they learn how to say "Hello"
in Turkish, in Spanish. Now and again.
What an experience those four year old children must be going through
in this foreign land! Well, you say, they have to ASSIMILATE as quickly
as possible, or...... Or what ?
Listen to what happens when we are racists and why racists need to take
a pill to cure this disease:
1. We talk as if we are one, but we emit microsignals of hostility,
distance, suspicion, difference.
2. We cause hurt and humiliation to adults and children. We
depersonalize, dehumanize, demoralize.
3. Racism robs its host of sensitivity and humanity, of well-being and
good feelings towards the world.
4. By our attitudes we increasingly drive the "inferior" person or
group into themselves, into their own group, and there they incubate
resentment, and hostility; or they might eventually kill themselves.
5. The racist curries favor in the dominant group and reminds them of
their superiority, their need to protect their property and power base.
6. The racist incites a contagious hate and abuse, which is likely to
provoke retaliation, inciting more confirmed abuse.
7. The racist is shortsighted, and does not see that their constrictive
fearful attitude is always a shriveled up shadow of the great
expressions of generosity and compassion, of humanitarian intelligence
and community well-being.
Often racism is an insidious disease. Like so many other diseases, we
want to deny we are the hosts of such a disease. We deny that it is a
disease. We assert that our attitudes are justified, rational,
intelligently protective. But we evade the awareness that the best way
is the way of humanitarian collaboration.
Many as we are, we are one in searching for a new way.
I am convinced it is a disease and we should be searchine for a
Medicine Pill to cure it.
You can catch it by listening to talkback radio programs,associating
with political parties such as Divided Nation or Howards mob, not
weariing a condom or not washing your hands of all racists.
One hopes as we found cures such as antbiotics and the one for stomach
bugs we can find the cure as others have as described here

Until then I will have to suffer this sick feeling in my stomach.
