ARTIFICIAL LABELING
Can Anyone Know For Sure
The Intentions Of An Individual
Who He Has Never Objectively Observed
Can The Physical Appearance Of A Human
Give Us The Information We Need
To Make Accurate And Sound Decisions
About The Potential Of Such A Person
Cultural Conformists Who Claim
That They Can Know Someone Deeply
By Observing His Or Her Natural Appearance
Are The Advanced Graduate Students
Who Are Enrolled In The School
Established For Racial Stereotyping
If The Only Thing That One Knows
About The Identity Of An Individual
Is The Subjective Nature Of His Ethnicity
Then An Enlightened Observer
Will Have A Difficult Time
Trying To Describe In Detail
The Personality Of This Person
Or The Contents Off His Character
A Prisoner Of His Own Perspective
Is An Individual Who Firmly Believes
That His Whole Life Will Be A Loss
As Long As Racism Lives
In The Environment Within Which He Exists
In Every Modern Society
Where Racism Is Rampant
Individuals With Imaginative Minds
Are Forced To Look Within Themselves
To Discover The Strengths Required
For Breaking Through Racial Barriers
Racial Profiling Is A Mental Exercise
Practiced By Racially Prejudiced People
Who Assume Unfavorable Facts
About The Behavior Of Individuals
Whose Identities Are Unknown Or Unfamiliar
Even Though No Evidence Exist
About The Subjects Of Their Scrutiny
To Verify Their Racist Views
Bigots Feel Bound To Believe
In The Validity Of Their Personal Biases
In Victim-Centered Society
Where Many Of The Unwritten Rules
Affecting Civil And Human Rights
Are Influenced By Racist Rulers
Any Subjective Difference Between Individuals
Will Be Seen By Some Cynics
As Indisputable Proof
That All Men Are Naturally Unequal
Arbitrarily Assigning Individuals To A Group
Because Of Their Perceived Ancestry
Is A Common Occurrence In Most Cultures
But Group-Thinking Is A Convoluted Concept
That Is Advanced By The Opinion-Makers
Who Profit From Racial And Ethnic Prejudices
Individuals Who Eagerly Embrace The Idea
That Certain People Of “Color”
Should Be Properly Labeled
Colored, Negroes, African-American Or Blacks
Believe That Coloreds Should Think And Act
In Accordance With Their “Color Code”
People Who Insist
On Living With Their “Kind”
In An Informal Association
Are All Active Participants
In A Deadly Cultural Game
That Promotes Racial Prejudices
Whenever A Loose Group Of Individuals
Acknowledge And Readily Accept
An Identity Invented By Their Enemies
They Become Unwilling Partners
In A Continuing Conspiracy Of Colors
Designed To Deny Them Their Individuality
One Who Voluntarily Accepts His Ethnic Role
On The Cultural And Social Stage
That Has Been Set For His Performance
By The Directors And Producers Of Prejudice
Is Targeted To Become A Victim
Of His Own Unintelligent Acts
Any Group Of Non-White Americans
That Is Prone To Act Aggressively
Against Its Most Important Interests
Will Find No Good Favor For Itself
In An Economical And Political System
Within Which Being “White” Is An Advantage
An Individual Whose Deepest Thoughts
Are Permanently And Deeply Attached
To The Notion That He Is Nothing
And Who Is A Petty Player
In Blame-The White-Man Game
Is Unlikely To See That Some Of His Suffering
Is A Product Of his Own Failure
To Exploit The Assets That He Owns
In A World Within Which
Being A Dark-Skinned Ghetto Dweller
Is Both A Scandal And A Crime
A Poor Person Of Color
Who Is Emotionally And Intellectually Immature
Is Unlikely To Become A High Achiever
Or Become The Best That He Can Be
Unless He Constructively Asserts Himself
An Individual With No Imagination Or Ambitions
Who Finds Himself Passively Resting
At The Bottom Of The Socioeconomic Order
Is Unlikely To Rise Above His Station
In Any Community Where The Racist Rules
There Is No Hard Evidence
To Support The Conclusion
That The “Color” Of A Human
Is A Significant Sign
That He Ignorant Or Smart
