    We were all the same colour. Then some of us left Africa and became weirdly translucent because we needed more sun.

      Yeah, we’re pretty dumb. God is probably screaming at the screen “ you’re all… fucking… the same!”

      Because all Africans look the same? Africans can hate and kill each other just fine. People have forgotten about the Hutu/Tutsi genocide with a million plus dead apparently. That story is still ongoing and currently heating up again with the M23 rebels taking territory in Congo.

        Wouldn’t that be religion? But yeah, it’s sad that humans can always find ‘others’ by any differences and then make that an excuse for discrimination or even genocide.

        Actually, ethnicity is difficult to define. It’s not just skin color, religion, and culture.

        Plus, there’s gender discrimination. Oh, and class warfare. Ah, specism too! Ecocide!!

        So, let’s just all agree that God doesn’t exist and it’s up to us to start looking for empathy where is due ;p
