It seems evident that racism evolves from progress.”Thems that gots gets and thems that don’t, don’t” from our colloquialisms here in America.
It has always been a sad confirmation of awareness for me that compassion is a limited emotion; limited to those on the edge I guess, where fear of falling back into the abyss of poverty is a mainstay of motivation to avoid it and yet always available to lend a hand and wish good will. Whereas those above or below this edge, some invisible line, are too tormented, or demented, to accept love for all in their quest to escape or evade poverty. Hatred is so sad….
