- PINK PEOPLE: WHO GAVE THEM THE AUTHORITY TO COLOR CODE HUMANS? -

Why do Africans (and people of African Origin) accept, be it actively or passively, to be labelled as BLACK - yet history proves that the label "black" was designed for an evil purpose and continues, to this very day, to serve an evil purpose in plain sight?

Leaders of African Union, why do we allow this? Fellow Africans, do we ever question the global implications and repercussions of being labelled as "Black"? What keeps us from asserting our right to dignity and respect on this planet? Why should we use evil yardsticks designed by other cultures to determine our value and/or completeness as human beings?


PINK PEOPLE
============
Why do pink people call themselves "white people" - yet it is clear and even scientifically proven that people of European descent are all of PINK complexion (Reddish when suntanned / sunburned) ?

There is NO human being on this planet who is truly white. Even Albinos are NOT 100% white. So why is the caucasian color-code mismatched with reality?


SELF CODING BIAS
================
Deeply ingrained in European culture is the strange notion that light-pink untanned skin is a reliable indicator of social status.

In early Europe, wealthy or high status individuals (the Elite, a.k.a. the "Bourgeois" ) considered manual labor to be beneath them. Such work was relegated to European peasants, typically illiterate farmers and laborers who had no assets of their own - thus had to work for the Burgeois in order to survive.

In those days, European peasants could be easily identified by their tanned/sunburned (reddish) skin - a result of over-exposure to the sun while working. Similarly, the absence of tan was perceived to be a sign of high status, wealth and/or nobility.

The European peasants were considered of inferior status, inferior genetic lineage and inferior intellect. They were condemned to poverty from birth till death and were heavily exploited / mistreated by the Bourgeois.

The use of color-coding for stratification on the basis of "RACE" gained prominence in the early days of slavery... The opposite of Black is white. Europeans had to find a way to position themselves as a distinct "race", more human than the slaves and, thus, to justify the inhumane treatment of slaves, and later on, crimes against "natives" of invaded colonies. Thus the evil concept of color coded "races" was born.

For centuries, under their own self imposed unilateral "authority", Europeans have used all manner of means at their disposal, to promote and perfect the idea of a color-based social stratification of human beings - mischieviously designed, of course, to place Europeans at the top of the global food chain.

Now, let us examine a few western "racial codes" that we take for granted in our day-to-day lives.


THE "RACIAL" CODES:
===============
1. Africans = BLACK
What about people of mixed ethnicity? (Weeeell, mixed children of African & European parents are to be labelled as black because Black+White = Black. Laws of Physics...).


2. Pink People of European descent = WHITE
(Yeah, that's right! There are many different shades of white... light-white, dark-white - oops! no! no! there's no dark white! ...erm.. umm... pink-white, orange-white.. etc.. true science... Darwin said so.. so don't call us pink - it's racist... because we say so... Next!)


3. Suntanned Pink people of European Descent (Reddish skin) = WHITE
(Hehehe... Shut up. Next!)


4. Pink people of Jewish descent = JEWS
(Sorry "white" is already taken. Finders keepers. If you want "pink", up to you but we call you Jews until you decide. capische? Anyway old famous jews in the Bible - like Jesus - can be white... Happy? See? we like you... Next!)


5. Albinos (who are the ultimate in "Whiteness") = ALBINO
(and..ahem... they are not white because.. cough!... WHITE IS PINK. anyway albinoism is a genetic malfunction.... and no, pink is not. so shut up. Neeeeeeeext!)


6. People of Asian descent = YELLOW
(Why yellow yet the Japanese have lighter skin pigment than Europeans? GRRRR they are yellow because they are Asian. All asians are yellow. Stop asking stupid questions.. Next!)


7. Indigenous Americans = RED
(They are not Americans - they are.. cough!... American Indians. No we are not European Americans we are just Americans. Did someone say bullshit? Look... am talking here... We don't know what Indians were doing in America. Yeah I know we found them here but they were probably explorers who got lost just like Colombus. America is not easy to find you know... Or maybe they migrated from India or Africa... thats why the land is not theirs - they migrated... see? just like everyone else we colonized..... hehehe... What?... Next!).


4. Dark skinned Indians = BROWN
Hey, but many indians are darker than Africans? (.. what? ..damnit... erm... umm... look, they all have straight hair so they cannot be BLACK because their hair is between European and African. European is WHITE, African is BLACK therefore anything inbetween is BROWN ok? next question? And dont ask me about GREY!)


etc.. etc.. etc...

Obviously there were, and still are, many military and economic benefits of color-based stratification of human beings - provided you are associated with the favored "color code" of the dominant culture.

Being warlike in nature, Europeans sought global dominance and had little ethical or moral scruples when it came to non-europeans (this is true even to this day). Thus a double-pronged strategy was adopted by the community.. the objective: Physical & Mental Dominance of all non-European communities on Earth.

Let us examine the "innocent day-to-day meanings" and resultant subliminal association of the two dominant color codes within European language and culture:


SUBLIMINAL ASSOCIATION: COLOR WHITE
====================================
Here are a few Words associated with color "white" in Western and European-Influenced cultures:

1. White List (Official list of nice people / acceptable things)
2. Perfection (fugurative). Purity of body, mind, heart and soul.
3. Bright Light / Cheerfulness
4. Cleanliness
5. Chastity (e.g. Wedding dress symbol)
6. Goodness / Godliness / Angels of heaven
7. Gates of Heaven... always portrayed as white flashes of lights
8. Heaven.. Europeans believe angels in heaven wear white, have white wings and light skin tone with just a hint of pink...

This is taught to ALL PINK PEOPLE FROM BIRTH TILL DEATH: "color white is the color of all good things and you are white so you are better than everyone else". Positive brainwash.. and it works! Westerners are constantly seeking to demonstrate their superiority to the world (e.g. Anglo European "Experts" are the best Experts - hence should be better paid... etc).

The concept is also exported to other cultures though neo-colonialism which promotes western dominance. If color "white" represents perfection, then our brains will automatically and unconsciously infer that people labelled as "white" are perfect and at the top of the human "race". The logic suggests that by looking white humans become better humans. Hence popularity of whitening cream and fake anglo-like hair in some communities.

If you just take a moment to observe people/cultures/speech/mannerisms, will see covert racism reinforced overwhelmingly in everyday speech, books, music movies etc.


SUBLIMINAL ASSOCIATION: COLOR BLACK
====================================
OK. How about Words typically associated with color black in WESTERN and WESTERNIZED CULTURES:

1. Black List (Official list of bad people / banned things)
2. Black is associated with Death / Funeral
3. Evil (evil spirits portrayed as dark... in coversations.. "he hatched a dark, evil plot"...)
4. Illegal Activities (e.g. CIA Black Ops)
5. Gross Lies/Deception (Black Propaganda)
6. Witches (European witches are depicted wearing black)
7. Dirty / Poor / Tainted / Corrupt
8. Doom / Gloom.. Satan.. People in hell wear black and have dark skin tones...

Similarly, this negative association is repeated over and over again,FROM BIRTH till DEATH, TO ALL PINK PEOPLE and people whose culture has been WESTERNIZED. The negative connotation of "Black" is vigorously circulated using various "channels" to westernized communities over the world.

If color black represents evil and imperfection, then human brains will automatically and unconsciously infer that people labelled as "black" are evil, defective and at the bottom of the human race. The coding logic suggests that, those categorized as "black" are "lesser" humans compared to those categorized as white. Negative brainwash. Sadly, some Africans believe it. This prevents many Africans from seeking greatness - creating a vicious cycle that reinforces the prejudices.


MODERN RACISTS USE PSYCHOLOGICAL DECEPTION
=====================================
Racism has evolved. While most people are distracted by historical forms of racism, a new modern form continues to thrive. Oldschool racists used guns and violence. The modern racist uses psychological deception.

Modern racists do not spit at you. They hug you instead. They don't snarl at you. They smile at you instead. They don't abuse you. They talk sweetly instead. COVERT RACISM. It is cheaper and easier to exploit willing slaves (aka peasants) than rebellious ones.

Covert Racism aims at establishing global "worker-class" structures which depend on Western Powers for "foreign investment" in exchange for cheap labor and cheap raw material. Thus the poor remain poor because the ECONOMIC SYSTEM is DESIGNED to keep them poor.

Looking at the big-picture, it becomes clear that Racism is merely a TINY part of a much bigger system. A system whose core principle is social stratification for economic exploitation: CAPITALISM.

Now you know the real reason why the west is pissed off at CHINA. :-)

Millions of people in Africa have suffered or died because of manufactured poverty. When applied on a global scale, CAPITALISM becomes a terrible bloodthirsty exploitative monster. They tell you people are dying because of hunger, disease, war, instability... corruption... pollution... they even give you AID Money and create NGOs to "help" you(..."because we Europeans are kind people and we love you so much".) Right.

I ask you dear Africans, when all is said and done... Who ends up richer? Who end up poorer? Why does the gap remain? Do the math.


RACISM IS EMBEDDED IN WESTERN SYSTEMS - BY DESIGN
================================================
Most European and Western style systems (Laws, Goverments / Education / Social Services / Police / Corporations etc) were designed to perform optimally when overt racism was at its peak. Combine such systems with psychological conditioning of Pink People plus a change of tactics by the Bourgeois (as described above) and you have the perfect recipe for modern institutionalized racism.

To this day, Pink people continue to make signicant efforts to export racism globally using the Internet, News Media (yes, the biased coverage is not accidental), Movies (pink guy saves the world), Books (especially children's books), religion (European "Jesus"/Missionaries), Economy (Capitalism, mega corporations, IMF/World bank), Politics (Western proxy wars in Africa - possibly even genocides) and so on... etc. etc.

Racism continues to thrive because we allow it to continue. Poverty engulfs us because we allow ourselves to be the modern Peasant working class exploited for cheap labor and resources by wealthy nations. Racism has taught us the ultimate lesson in mediocrity: AIM LOW.


TIME FOR AFRICA TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO
===================================
We are living in a global society.

It is unfair, unjust and immoral for one culture to systematically and unilaterally categorize all other cultures on earth in a derogatory manner.

We need a GLOBAL CONSENSUS ON COLOR CODING OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS. African Union, Brazil, India, China must raise this issue at the UN as a matter of outmost importance. We must challenge and confront ideas that perpetuate unbalanced privileges and advantages to only one community.

How can one community monopolize the definition of stereotypical associations applicable to ALL the world's races? Just because it happened many years ago doesn't mean that the "race" matter cannot be revisited and errors corrected in modern times. Surely, recognizing and fixing historical blunders would be a solid proof of progress in human civilization - wouldn't it?

From now henceforth, ALL Afrians, Indians, Asians, Arabs and any other non-caucasians must REJECT the notion of "White people" or "White Race" simply because it is incorrect, baseless, preposterous and blatantly unscientific. Europeans are pink people. Pink People are PINK in color.

Non-caucasians must make all effort to correctly color-code all people of European descent / Caucasians as PINK. This must happen daily, in conversations, in literature, in the news, in debates, in schoolbooks, in movies etc... whenever racial classification is to be made.

In the meantime, Afrians must disassociate themseleves with the color "BLACK". We must refuse to be color coded by foreign strangers. We must be alert for psychological deception and vigorously object to it - especially if it happens in our motherland Africa. We must expose and reject evil western cultural practices.

The African Union can determine what color code we shall use to code ourselves internally within Africa (and whether to use a color code at all because color coding is European culture). We must also come up with a coding classification for all other human beings, in a manner that serves our own long term interests.

The African view of the classification of human beings and other aspects of science must be taught in schools as the REAL TRUTH and the European view must be ridiculed and totally discredited as evil propaganda - which is true anyway.

If the europeans decide not to drop the "BLACK" color-coding of Africans or if they choose to label us with another "type" that still has negative connotations, we should do the same to THE COLOR PINK (e.g. pigs are pink and pigs are the most filthy creatures on earth. Pink is also closely associated with homosexuality.. etc etc). We can also devise other stereotypes using their methods in order to fully balance the equation. The chinese did this very well - calling europeans "Foreign Devils" and rejecting the color codes. Now Europeans respect them more and more - bacause they saw through the "white brainwash" and resisted it.

Taking charge of our own identity and our image to the world will ensure that our children grow up with a strong sense of dignity and patriotism. Humility is no longer a virtue. Europeans see humility as a WEAKNESS to be DOMINATED and EXPLOITED. If you are humble or meek, they will try to exploit you somehow. Thus we must strive always to be one step ahead of these evil cultures. We must master the global mind game, define our own rules and play like the pros.

You can't ask someone to stop being racist. The idea itself is racist as it means you have to adopt the victim/subservient role first in order to make such a request to a purportedly benevolent agressor. That is why we must address the issue of racism using OUR OWN RULES AND OUR OWN TERMS.

Modern Racism is a mind game and must be countered using the very same PSYCHOLOGICAL techniques that perpetuate it. Africans are dominant in Africa. We can put in place a similar bias towards indigenous Africans in our systems, norms and practices - just as the west does towards Anglo-Europeans where they are dominant.

We can popularise our views using political and media machinery and all manner of politically-correct justifications. We can position our "end all forms of racism" agenda as the one with higher moral, political and intellectual ground, by focusing on STRATEGIC but NON-VIOLENT POLITICS to bring about change.

Other tactics include inter-marriage with pink people (especially the ones who have attained high social status within the pink community itself) in order to make the "pink supremacy" cause irrelevant (plus, inter-marriage increases the likelihood that covert prejudices will be questioned in the pink family network because a relative is involved).

Dear Pink people, call me a racist if you like. As long as you teach your children to classify me as "black", and then associate black with dirt, evil and everything bad, then the question of who is truly the racist - the agressor or the defender - will always beg an answer.

Hi Maishinski,

I wonder if I feel this strongly. One thing about living in Africa all the time (and not working for some international NGO where certain jobs are for jungus) is I do not deal with racism often and therefore I sometimes do not recognize racism.

But on two occasions I have encountered racism.

The first one shockingly was in an African country where queues at immigration were divided into Africans and jungus and you were politely put in your queue. The citizens in that country are multi-racial and they have been brainwashed into considering themselves not to be in Africa.It was sad to see.
The second one was in Europe where young teenagers threw snow balls and almost hit an african lady walking down the stairs. Just prior to that they had been waiting for us to get into an elevator so that they could 'snow ball' us just before the doors closed.

I believe in being vigilante and demanding to be treated fairly. I do hope never to have to put up with racism.

Hi KR, thanks for the comment. The examples you gave are among the complex tricky ones. The interpretation on whether it is racism or not depends on the specific circumstances, plus actions, attitudes and behaviors of those involved.

1. The immigration Queue in the African country: Were people separated PURELY on the basis of color code - irrespective of Nationality - such that even CITIZENS were separated? If so it is clearly overt racism.

I believe that most (if not all) countries GLOBALLY fast track their citizens at immigration queues (*irrespective of ethinicity or color code*) and this is generally considered ok.

So we must be careful when evaluating such scenarios. Was it simply because the travellers in one queue were CITIZENS/RESIDENTS and the travellers in the other queue were simply FOREIGN TOURISTS? In such a case, it is not racism to separate them - though it appears on casual inspection to be so.

A pink citizen of the African state would be free to join the queue dominated by fellow African citizens - unless of course the pink person chose to join the foreign queue - in which case its an INDIVIDUAL who is racist - and NOT the entire group of foreigners.

2. The snowballing incident you mention in Europe is also difficult to interpret without more information. Was the African woman singled out for humiliation? Was there hate speech or undue viciousness? Did they continue even when (if) she looked hurt/offended or when (if) she objected? If so, then it was overt racism.

Otherwise it could just have been mischievous kids having fun playing with snow. In which case they would be laughing and generally open to counter snowballs.

In western cultures throwing friendly snow balls at someone is considered a playful act of social bonding so the specific circumstances need to be considered before calling it racism!

Many westerners object to overt racism and have trained their kids to accept diversity. However the westerners do not know how to deal with COVERT racism deeply embedded in their culture and beliefs.

Thry continue to embrace racism - usually without even being AWARE of it.

That is why the average pink person believes he/she is "WHITE" but doesn't question WHY. Similarly the average pink person doesn't want to confront the evil history of the label "BLACK" or to take action to end its usage.

It is obvious that pink people benefit immensely from the self-defined positivity around the "white" label whereas Africans are significantly disadvantaged by the pink-people-defined negativity around the "Black" label.

We must change the rules of the game. Here's a mantra or template for all Africans and people of African origin to use:

Dear Pink people,

I am not "black". I am AFRICAN. You are not "white". You are PINK. Call yourself whatever you like. Call me whatever you like. However I will be the master of MY own image and how I perceive you.

You can make your own rules about race, but be assured, I will also make mine.

:-)

KR,

You meant "Vigilant" and not "Vigilante" - right? The two words have completely different meanings.

If all "non-caucasians" changed the rules of the game, there would be no need to be "vigilant" - or "vigilante" for that matter.

Maishinski is advocating for a change in perspective. Maishinski wants Africans (and all non-causasians) to stop seeing themselves as helpess victims of the caucasoid culture bias.

According to Maishinski, those who are disadvantaged by pro-caucasoid labels can address the matter by defining and implementing globally (or continentally) co-ordinated counter-labelling systems - especially in places where non-caucasians they are dominant.

Africans, for example, can empower themselves by creating their own "pro-Afro" SYSTEM which defines and protects their image in a way that is beneficial to them.

Such a system would also define other so-called "races" on the basis of RECIPROCITY (treat me well I treat you well. Label me well I label you well).

Makes perfectly good sense to me.
