Darkness is racism's victim.

Why is it that we talk about darkness in a negative way, when darkness is there when we want to cry alone. Darkness is what helps us sleep at night, yet we say, what a beautiful start to the "day" (at least get up before judging the day already?) As long as we consider "dark" unpleasant, all the living ( HUMANS), non-living ( player with black pieces in chess gets to play second), intangible ( blacklisting, black= bad luck) things are bound to be held against the pleasant ones. We have not even spared a black cat, poor thing can not even cross someone because it brings bad luck or because WE THINK it does? We talk about our shadow leaving us in darkness in a bad context and we also claim to be independent people who need nobody. If we consider shadows human enough to sigh about them not being their with us in dark then I guess we consider ourselves truthful enough to agree that we actually don't need anyone. Now the question is why are we even blaming something to be wicked when it is letting us have the things we say we are capable of ? When we cannot make ourselves look good, we tend to make others look bad. That is how darkness is making light look good for centuries. Today we are here, in the 21st century, protesting against racism,forgetting that darkness is racism's oldest friend. Friend? Yes, because darkness is not affected by it's relation with black. As long as we are switching off lights, one of the greatest inventions, and drawing curtains to get rid of the light and letting darkness in, darkness seems to be content, doesn't it? And for me, I am happy writing in black color on this white surface, giving you something to read, works for me.
