Was it race, or class?
Check out the link above. (In case it still doesn't work, the article is at www.hyphenmagazine.com/blog/archives/2005/09/a_problem_peopl.html.
I was surfing, hit UmmZaid's post, and as usual clicked on the article about being poor. Which then hit me hard. But it was the post at the link above that had me thinking the most.
I need a second to digest. I've been poor (ah, yes, many many things from the list are memories, y'know) and I will always be Black, you see, and so emotions are tied to the two in a way that keeps me from being coherent. But I'll be back.

Salaams: The link isn't working. I looked for an article called "Was it race or class" on the blog... is it titled something else and linking to the same "being poor means" thing I linked to? (Now I lost that too, but it's in the september archive). -- Umm Zaid

ReplyDelete"14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. "
Favor.
And disfavor.
They point out Africans? failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it's applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK - perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as "god"
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Mafia (evil) aliens - runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere (On planets where they approved evil.)
Terrestrial management:
4. Chinese/egyptians - this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans - they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia - the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician - Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Survival of the favored.

Many Muslims are being used like the Germans and Japanese of wwii::being used to hurt others and envoke condemnation upon their people.
I wish I could find a source to educate many Muslim fundamentalists. Muhammad is alive. He is a very lucky man, chosen like Jesus Christ and, due to his historical status, will live forever.
