White Americans are beginning to realise that they too belong to a race
If I were dog, I would be a mutt.<p>But due to being human, I just call myself an Earthling. This despite my heritage being from multiple cultures (8?) from around the world, some of them very long lived within their family trees. If you were to do a full deep dive on my lineage, you would find that my bloodline goes back not just decades, or even centuries, but millenniums. Technically, so too does everyone else who is alive today, for we all came from some line of apes that evolved or another. And that&#x27;s ignoring all the stuff about Neanderthals and such.<p>To me, it doesn&#x27;t matter who you are, what you look like, or where you came from. What you believe is another matter, since there are wrong opinions about many things abound, but I tend to leave that alone; because arguing with idiots is a good way to lose to them when idiocy outnumbers intelligence since the days of the stone age. (With some exceptions thanks to the coincidental silver lining of plagues.)<p>To me, people who focus solely on race in any fashion, need to stop. Not only is it not rational, but it&#x27;s divisive. Which is why politicians love using it in some form or another, when we start to get along again; and most intelligent people know that politicians are less trustworthy than some random person on the internet.<p>Yet we keep falling for their bullshit. Why?<p>Because we deeply want to belong to something more than just ourselves, I think. And when that thing we belong to is supposedly threatened by another group inside or out of our own group, we fight them.<p>Doesn&#x27;t matter which group, it&#x27;s the same for all.<p>Now excuse me while I go back to trying to get things put together in my own life so I can make a place for people who think like me where we can escape the rest who obsess about race, colour or creed.<p>You&#x27;re all welcome to join me, though it may take some of you time to de-escalate your emotions over these sorts of things.
