Social Constructs
Race is the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences. By the 17th century the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits. A social construct is something that exists not in objective reality, but as a result of human interaction. It exists because humans agree that it exists. (Source: The Internet)
Being for or against these Social Construct is still an agreement – we are in agreement that limited thinking is being used to define us – and distinguish us in groups. We group ourselves on the basis of physical traits and ideology. Ideology prescribes a structure of behavior and belief… Therefore, another Social Construct.
At the bottom of this ‘Rabbit Hole’ is a Snake Pit that removes from our society the idea of Exceptionalism. Exceptionalism isn’t based on anything physical or phenotypical. Certain people, we can all agree, have genetic gifts; some are physically strong, physically fast, able to endure prolonged physical excursion, intelligent, creative, imaginative, scientific, resist disease… These are all the elaborated expansion of our genetic lineage since the first Beings walked the Earth. What is Exceptional is the ability to Build, Maintain and Improve a successful Community. The upliftment of the Human Spirit should be a person’s only goal.
But here we are again, running up against a Wall – the Wall being limited understanding and limited definitions, descriptions we as people hold onto and use to define the paradigm of our reality. Our reality is the framework in which we act and behave.
We’ve fallen into the trap of measuring our World since Recordable Time and then the definitions are changed when it fits a Social Group with an Agenda. For proof on this, we just have to look at the Russian Communists, the German National Socialists, the Chinese Communists and so many more. History is repleat with revisions that redefine the History of Humankind. And language is at the core of that History and the tool of the revisionists.
Very few people know or even realize that we are a Global People without a Law. We have a Judicial System, a Law Enforcement System, and a Legal System, but none of them operate under a legitimate Law. No Government has written a new ‘Law’ for over 40-years. They’ve passed Regulations, Legislation, Restrictions, Statutes and Definitions, and Rulings. The Laws that we Govern ourselves by are often contested, ignored, overlooked, misrepresented or redefined to suite the State.
The movement is to confuse us as to what are our Rights, and who can hold us accountable to them. What were ‘Rights’ 20, 30, 50, 100, 200 years ago are now Privileges that live and die on the Altar of the Revisionists.
Humans, being the Race, have evolved for millions of years. The Race has had many phenotypes by which the people can identify and organize themselves by. Countless groups have gone extinct and new Mutations have evolved to overtake the previous race. Our environment, not climate, has shaped our evolution. Over the last 3-million years, we’ve experienced many Glaciations or Glacial Periods. Scientists are confused as to how many really, placing them from as few as 3 to as many as 6, possibly more. History books talk about missing or lost past civilizations. We know that there were other Hominids that coexisted along side Homo-Sapien Sapiens. We’ve gone through expansions and recessions of our populations, based on Disease, Starvation, Environmental Impacts and Change and War.
So, when we talk about Race, and using current or visible inherited physical traits, we are falling into the trapping that the Revisionists want us to fall into – and ultimately to our own determent. Challenge the Societal Norms by redefining the Social Constructs into more complicated Constructs and force people into these ‘Groups’ or ‘Phenotypes’ and then demonize those that are outside the prevalent group. Once we remove the idea that a ‘Person’ is a ‘Person’ and define them as ‘Animal’ or something ‘Other’ than a Person… Then it becomes legitimate to abuse, torture and murder these people. After all, did you morn that fly you swatted as you did your beloved Grandparent at their funeral? Did you show your steak the same amount of respect and adoration as you do your dog or cat? It is not to inpune anyone for their beliefs and behaviors, it is drawing equivalency – false or otherwise – to the idea that we have Social Descriptions that define what is Tolerable, Acceptable and Legal and that these Descriptions are being attacked. Once again, we but just have to look at India’s Dalits – they are impure and untouchable. That’s ‘Modern Day’ India, by the way. All that has to happen is to get enough people on one side of the equation to define and designate the other side of the equation as being ‘impure’ or ‘untouchable.’ And then what?
What did the conversation create? Where did it take us – when we are running headlong in the direction of the thing we believe we are fighting against. Therefore, was it a worthwhile fight? Were we exceptional in our pursuit of Human Upliftment? Because, if the answer is no on any count, then we are falling into a Snake Pit – Death awaits and we are the architects of our own downfall.
Because we do not know our history outside of what was recorded, we fall into a false sense of belief that it isn’t possible that our ancient ancestors melded their cultures with other cultures outside of what was, at that time, permissible. Necessity breeds strange bedfellows. It is possible that 20, 30, 40 generations ago, that pale skin boy with blond hair and blue eyes and an Irish name, is the descendant of an African Tribe? You are now convinced, due to Social Constructs, that Africans are historically Black and have been since the dawn of time… But what proof exists of 2 million years ago that the people who lived there weren’t ‘white’ skinned, or Brown Skinned like the Hindus? We have Hieroglyphs that depict what the ancient Egyptians looked like, Egypt being in Africa, but he Egyptians were not ‘Black.’ We don’t know what they look like. But what we do know now is that Geneticists did research on the genome of ancient mummies and discovered that the Egyptians had more in common with he ancient people that once inhabited England than they do those that currently inhabit the Congo or any of the other ‘Black’ African people. Heck, Africa is the modern name of that continent, named after a Roman General. It was once called, Alkebulan… And yes, I do accept and agree that the Romans captures and enslaved people with what we consider to be ‘Black’ skin in their time… But it might be possible – for the sake of argument, that it was the Romans who introduced these peoples to this area at some point of that Empire’s History. There’s no evidence of it that I am aware of – but History is a tricky thing. And it often appears to some that it has been weaponized in our modern world to manipulate the mindset and beliefs of the Global People to push an agenda. Perhaps, in the near future our Political Leaders will once again revisit the conversation of the ‘Master Race.’ And when that day comes – who will we blame? Those who are trying to awaken humanity to the manipulation or will it be the people doing the manipulation? History has taught us, based on modern behavior that we always side with our Captors and rarely with our Liberators.
In closing, a quote: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.”
I do not know words to tell you how MUCH I like this entry. BRAVO, STANDING OVATION!! “upliftment of the Human Spirit should be a person’s only goal” – agreed. All this race card crap is a huge pet peeve of mine.
