I, finally, found the first topic to blog about on the new What's on Mthoko's mind? blog, racial supremacy on this planet. Every race in the world thinks it's the best at one thing or the other & quiet often, they're right. Mixing of races often does not equate to "best of both worlds" scenarios either because even if a certain race is notably good at something, the saying goes "better a good horse, than a horse of a good kind", it's still better to have a good basketball player than any old black basketball player.
In a world where everyone is more-or-less now living with modern conveniences, we can assume that many physical, mental or psychosocial barriers have been breached even if genetics still determines most things in our world. So we'll find athleticism, mental capacity et cetera are more balanced among races. Even though there are staunch racial supremacists, in this blog I intend to try "Fight against white supremacy & fight against black supremacy" (Nelson Mandela) in order for there to be peace. I believe many supremacist ideologies but they are flawed when rabid nationalism comes into the picture. As much as we are forced to be like each other in the modern world & look at race supremacists with contempt, we can't overlook simple facts & there are quite obvious differences among all races which may be for or not for that races benefit. You deal with the cards you're dealt with within your race, you don't long for what you do not have whatever race you may be. If your race/nation/ethnicity is good at something, your claim to your supremacy may be valid but in a unified world where every race is often in the same vicinity, understand that your supremacist ideologies will constantly be challenged no matter how much historical evidence there is to prove your pedigree, there's always another tribe/nation/race/ethnicity more than willing to take your place & claim their supremacy.
