Africa 101 |
When Europe colonized Africa, there was one strong visual characteristic that separated the people, the color of their skins. The effect of differences in philosophies, differences in weapons, and differences in relationships to ownership of land resulted in a power struggle and conquest.
Unlike other conquests where crushed opponents were regarded as human adversaries, the African conquerors regarded the indigenous population as subhuman, more akin to animals, such as baboons, apes, and monkeys.
A systemic method of re-education was employed. Academics supported this superior notion, by harnessing anthropological, and other scientific disciplines. The European notion of race superiority, and the ingraining of these principles in vocabulary, were dispersed through the mass-media. The political, economic and judicial structures were utilized to give them legailty and validity, ensuring that the twentieth century is drenched in racism in every aspect of society.
Today RACISM is so widespread that a three year old learns its principles as easily as walking, talking, and screaming.
The primary reason that racism persists and will so indefinitely is that there is no incentive for a racist organism to change when such an environment is so beneficial to that organism.
Could a hunter be expected to voluntarily lay down the bow and arrow on grounds of a vegetarian principle, when hunting is a primary means available for easy survival?
