The problem with evolutionary theory is that no common man is willing to see him/herself as an animal subject to evolutionary forces. It's a simple concept but, after learning the basics, we fail miserably at applying the concept to everyday life. That is so unfortunate. Let me break it down for you. Evolution simply seeks to perpetuate life--any life, all life. But there is a principle that we mostly fail to embrace. Evolution is blind. The reason it is blind is that it does not know what the environment will throw at it. Ergo, it must come up with very different designs in the hope that one of them will survive in the new environment. I don't know who told it so, but it found out early that environments change. The Black person came up with extra melanin that will protect him/her from the Sun's UV rays. The White Northern person then reversed that and came up with less melatonin that would allow lower quantities of UV light to still make make it through the skin and...

Most of our primitive urges have been successfully suppressed by society--most, for the good of all. I don't know if racism could be suppressed longterm by legislation but we are seeing herd mentality--the good kind--hold up injustice for all to see. It doesn't matter that 57 cops resigned at Buffalo, NY, in support of 'storm troopers' that shoved an elderly man to the ground, for they were engaged in Trumpism--looking out for #1 at the exclusion of others.  Today, what could be the threat seen by Whites? Why fear a Black man/woman? In a population, you would be excused for fighting for resources. But Blacks are not siphoning Wall St. profits. Black women are only a threat during Black Friday at Walmart, lol; and, funny how retailers know better than to bring in a gaggle of cops to their stores to stop those 'riots.' You would be excused for not wanting to be robbed at home. But minorities affect their own waaay more than they infringe on White properties (riots...

I love protests. If I had been allowed to protest homework and other indignities, I would have turned out a much better person. I had to wait until college to start expressing my 1st Amendment rights--then, against the Vietnam War. That is why it struck a dissonant chord with me when President Obama said that although Kaepernick was within his Constitutional rights to protest, the veteran was hurt by it and he, the President, could understand why. I beg to differ with the President. Unless you are part of the club--properly initiated--you cannot empathize with the other members of the group.When I condemn the doctor or the lawyer for greed, I cannot relate to their hurt feelings. When I condemn the teacher or policeman for union excesses, what do I know how they feel. When I condemn the rich man or the legislator, how can I know the hurt? Likewise, the President cannot know what it is like to sleight the government that sends a man to war unless he has gone through all the initiatio...
