Humanity

There was a time it was quite normal to use people as a circus attraction. There even we're Human Zoos where people were shown. You could visit the human Zoo and watch how these people lived. Of course not in their real habitat but a new build one in Europe. Franch and England were famous for their Zoos. It's surprising how no one seems to remember this dark page in history. You might believe these were places where mainly meant for white people gazing at and having fun about black people but you are wrong. Long before black people were shown watching white people already was seen as a day out especially if it came to women.

Shouldn't it makes us wonder why it was and still is so easy to make an attraction out of a human being who is our mother, sister, aunt, daughter. The only person who can give life and make sure the human race won't die out. Instead of cherishing those who care, women were sent away, locked into mental institutions and towers to make them shut up and to be able to steal their property. This is what happened to many, white women, intelligent women, educated women. They were exposed to the public willing to pay for looking at them. Most likely it was an attraction not different from visiting the Zoo or a day out to the Circus the place where every person kicked out of society was treated worse than an animal.

Today we still consider it as quite normal people are locked in. Native Americans for example. Even they were killed by strangers, invaders, Europeans. People not able to fit in into their own society. Abroad it was easier to start all over again. To play the master, to rule over those who originally belonged to the country and cared about it, while keeping up appearances.

We love to make a fool out of each race different from ours, those we feel not familiar with. Tunnel vision makes it hard to ask ourselves if it is true what "they" told and tell us.

Does the color of skin or hair change someone into a good person or a monster, our enemy?

Is the level of humanity higher with Asian or black people than it is in white people?

Don't let yourself get fooled by these ideas. White people have been eaten by cannibals, just like they are killed abroad for their organs, and women are no exception. Those stories aren't made up neither are the ones about Chinese looking down on Taiwanese, not liking other races, and Africans killing their neighbors. These are acts done by humans worldwide and partly we humans still behave the same. At times it's done in name of the law, equality, or life that matters.

The human Zoos might be closed these days but women are still shown after glass and asked to do tricks for money. People are still used as slaves, women, and children first. We hide those who are handicapped and if they get out in the open many gazes at them. This time for free.


It's true hunters hunt and warriors fight. The human race likes to conquer the world and rule over others. If spreading fear against a different race (raping, torture, killing) doesn't work religion might help spread the word (of fear). If that doesn't work out the name of certain races, still used in idioms and phrases can do the trick like the Philistines, Samaritans, Gauls, Romans, Vikings, and many more. Good for a threat (to spread fear) are warnings against evil women, stepmothers, witches, ghosts. The plagues, civilian war, the next world war, and pandemic are used for those who can not easily be controlled.
If it comes to it all humans have been there, dealt with it but didn't come closer. Most likely never will. Humans will always keep hating each other because of the past but most of all because that other human is not like us. It is not a natural thing to embrace those who are different. Our instinct tells us it is wrong and so are the lessons taught. The DNA plan is to fight for their own race. The race we are accidentally born with or who knows we choose to be born this time.
