MaDaFaKa!

Did you see BET? How about MLK? How about BLM? Is this what keeps us apart? How About FUBU? Who exactly is the us? We have no WET! Why the distinction if we are all equal? Can't understand why a Black History Month is politically correct, If I advocate a White History Month I look like a skin-head! Why do all male Homosexuals sound like "Snagglepuss- wanna'bes?" Aren't they fighting for individualism? Can't understand why there is a Gay Pride March, with all of the flambouyant glam and ceremony, if the goal is to be treated as a "normal" and not to be singled out as "odd" or "deviant". Maybe the trick is to Shout out as loud as possible, "We're just like you, we deserve to be treated equally!" and then after all of the hoop-la and commotion dies down, There will be a greater understanding and tolerance. Maybe, who knows? I remember when everyone said that if you don't believe in God, that you would go to hell. I remember reading in the Bible that God told Adam and Eve that ,"If you eat of the fruit of this tree, surely you will die", and then Satan came along and told Eve, " You will not die if you eat this fruit". Now, the way I see it is, She ate it, and so did Adam, but they did not instantly die as foretold by God. Satan actually told the truth! And what God had warned turned out to be not true. Sure they eventually died, but why the false implication that they would instantly (Like poison)? And check out where our supreme creator, ( God), the one who is supposed to be all that is good, sent "Evil Spirits From God" to torment Saul. Evil from Good? From God? To do what, punish Saul for not destroying every man, woman and child in a raid (directed by God)? This is all too heavy, and it turns the Right/Wrong concept upside-down. I just want to live in peace, I don't want to be reminded that a group of people was held in slavery as property, because they were sold off by people of their own race to the colonists and merchants of this country. I do not believe anyone is superior or inferior, but we had the guns, the technology to make and use them, and we bought slaves from those who sold their own race off like cattle. And what about Cattle? Are we more entitled to life and freedom than they are, just because we have the technology? Where do we draw the line? The Indians, (oops, Native Americans), were they actually more advanced than those who conquered them? My theory is this, Animals are the most advanced life form on Earth because they have evolved to sharing a world in peace. Each "advancement" we make, Guns, electricity, Weapons of mass destruction, is a devolution from the pristine state of things on Earth. The chimps in the trees are more advanced because they have kept a life free of mass destruction, war, poverty, hate, and greed. Jesus was right all along, " See the birds of the feilds, they do not toil and labor, yet they have food to eat". The futher we "improve" the farther we are from Eden (paradise), and the closer we are to self-destruction. We have not evolved (as Darwin would suggest), we have Devolved! I want my MTV!
