Polyglot Populi

F. William Broome 2006

Peoples of the Middle East are doing the world a big favor
forcing all people to look more deeply into the many
classifications of race, and how we may deal with them.
I should stop here, because anything said is to pretend that
the writer understands what has become an ethnic, racial,
religious, polyglot of people over the globe.

What we know about the breakdown of skin colors, facial
and other body features is about to change. Much of such
changes were there when we were born, but tribal, cult,
class and national beliefs have lulled us into accepting
as fact that most of these are semi-permanent.

We know better; that people are people are people; who
are accepted or rejected by different cultures under the
impression that they have a right to be exclusive, elite,
select. Perhaps they do, for the generational progression
and changes are, indeed, too slow for comprehension of
what has happened over the millennia accommodating
humans.

The culprit in all of this, of course, is ignorance of people
unconvinced that we are not all that different. The goal is
believing that we have far more in common than hair color,
body size, shape of eyes and lips, along with skin tones.
The laughable horror of ingrained exclusivity is found in
the most developed peoples, which good students know
to be a conglomeration of almost unidentifiable races and
cults which populated the early development of earth's
cultures.

In truth, if one were to identify the purest strain of humanity,
it would be in the tribes and population of countries which
are just now beginning to develop and see their people mix
with the over developed inhabitants of modern nations. That
said, an ideal way of ending this basic venture into such a
subject might be the accepted and agreed upon one; go figure.
