Friday Rant

I know I’m treading on thin ice this week, but I am getting so tired of the “labels” that people attach to themselves and others. Example – why do some people have to attach a term like “African American” to someone who just happens to have dark skin or different features?  If the theories of evolution and “out of Africa” are correct, there is only one “race” on the planet Earth and it had its origin in East Africa (around present-day Ethiopia) and then spread to all other parts of the world.

Adapting to environmental conditions such as the degree of sunlight and developing in relative isolation, some groups evolved lighter skins and others evolved darker skins. Thus technically every person on the planet – from the darkest skinned person in the Congo to the lightest skinned person in Sweden – is of African ancestry.

Now that that’s out of the way, what is racism?

The UN defines "racial discrimination": as a “distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.” Wow that is a mouthful isn’t it.

What does this mean to us today in our life?  There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc., etc., and so forth. But wait a minute. Does this actually refer to place of birth or ethnic origin? I know a number of “African Americans” who were born in the USA, so it can’t be that. It can’t be race because we can all trace our roots back to East Africa.

How about color? If you walk the beaches in Florida, you will see a lot of “dark skinned” people. Are these “African Americans,” or do they really have a nice tan? Hmmm – seems if you apply the UN definition of racial discrimination, everyone could potentially be subject to  “racial discrimination.” To quote from Yul Brenner in the movie ”Anna and the King of Siam” – “tis a puzzlement.”

Wait, I think I got it - could it be political correctness – you know the way of phrasing something in non-racial terms when something else is actually meant. A few years ago it was not politically correct to refer to someone as Black – hence “African American.” Is Barrack Obama "Black" or "African American?"

When you hear the term “Illegal Alien,” what do you think of? Could it be a Mexican, but are all Mexicans “Illegal Aliens” – I seriously doubt it. The only thing that really makes sense is that the politically correct, media pundits,  hope there is another crisis to keep their 24 hour a day, 7 day a week gristmill going. . The honeymoon between the Media and President Obama appears to be faltering. Even CNN and the New York Times (gasp) are starting to nitpick his actions and the actions of the democratically controlled Congress.

A Little Humor for the Weekend

Gambling
=-=-=-=-=

When I go to casinos, the most ridiculous sign I see is the one that says: "If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER."

I thought about it for a moment and dialed the number. When they answered I said, "I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?"

A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife, Susie, something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. He showed her the phone and explained to her all of its features.

Susie was excited to receive the gift and simply adored her new phone. The next day Susie went shopping. Her phone rang and, to her astonishment, it was her husband on the other end. "Hi Susie," he said, "how do you like your new phone?"

Susie replied, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell, but there's one thing I don't understand though..."

"What's that, sweetie?" asked her husband.

"How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?

Three dead bodies turn up at  the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the  police to tell them what has happened.
The Coroner tells the  Inspector, "First body is a 72 year old Frenchman. He died of heart failure  while with his mistress. Hence the enormous
smile."

"The second  body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won a thousand dollars on the lottery  and spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning,
hence the  smile.

" The Inspector asked, "What of the third  body?"

"Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, 66, struck by  lightning."

"Why is she smiling then?" inquires the  Inspector.

"She thought she was having her picture  taken."

A friend of mine had resisted efforts to get him to run with our jogging group until his doctor told him he had to exercise. Shortly thereafter, he reluctantly joined us for our 5:30 AM jogs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

After a month of running, we decided that my friend might be hooked, especially when he said, "I've discovered what 'runner's euphoria' is."

When we questioned this he explained, "Runner's euphoria is what I experience at 5:30 AM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays."

Feathered Friends Quiz

How to conquer fear.

The way to conquer fear is to know where it is coming from and to understand it.

Is it the fear of rejection, the fear of change, the fear of success?

Denis Waitley says we need to understand our fear's roots, then soften the earth around it with new enlightenment, then pull it out -- planting the seed of love and let that stand straight and tall. He says fear is False Education Appearing Real.

What are you afraid of? What new enlightenment, or thoughts, can change the way you look at it? Watch as you pull it out, roots and all, and replace it with love. Fear is the absence of love. When you replace it with love, fear can no longer stand.
