HYPOCRISY

“I live a dream in a nightmare world”
   
  This month it is Black History Month.   Without much thought everyone in this era of politically correctness jump on  face value in celebration.  Personally I believe that it is a very prejudice and sagregational celebration if you think about it.
As per Webster definition: PREJUDICE a liking or dislike for one rather than another especially without good reason. 2 : a feeling of unfair dislike directed against an individual or a group because of some characteristic (as race or religion) 3 : injury or damage to a person's rights.
What if this celebration was called ‘WHITE HISTORY MONTH’?  How would this bee seen by the population at large?   Are we to celebrate every shade of skin. Every races history?   Why are we so hung up on BLACK?  It is not prejudice to speak
As per Webster definition: SEGREGATIONAL the act of segregating or state of being segregated. 2. ( Sociology) sociol the practice or policy of creating separate facilities within the same society for the use of a minority group.
In an era of equality and multiculturalism are we not to integrate instead of segregate by race and or color of one skin?
Then again why do we have a celebration for BLACK HISTORY?   Would it not be more appropriate to call it ‘WORLD HISTORY’ with special subsections for contributions from all races and colors combined.  After all we would have a ‘WHITE HISTORY MONTH’,  It would be seen as prejudice and bias towards all other races and colors.
Why the hypocrisy?
Hypocrisy as per dictionary definition:  the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.   a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion. 2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. Could it be that in our quest for equality we are all hypocrites? Hypocrisy is a common trait, but sometimes it's more acceptable than others, and that's what this article is about. Let's start with a definition: Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. We are, all of us, hypocrites.
Is everybody a hypocrite?
Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind in all race. ... In clear language, full of wit and rich in examples, Kurzban explains the roots and implications of our inconsistent minds, and why it is perfectly natural to believe that everyone else is a hypocrite. We're all hypocrites.
Since we are celebrating ‘BLACK HISTORY MONTH’,  one has to wonder where we draw the line on being black?    After all there are officially six skin types.
Skin colour is primarily determined by genetic inheritance but exposure to sunlight also alters skin colour. There are six skin types, fair skin that always burn, dark skin that never burns and everything in between. Melanin is the pigment that determines skin colour as well as hair and eye colour.
There are 32 shades of skin:  The rich and diverse range of over 32 shades of black is produced by a substance called melanin, a pigment which is produced by melanocyte in the skin. Did you know that regardless of your ethnicity be it White, Asian or Black, we all have the same amount of melanocytes?
To complicate matters there are 105 Types of Black Color - Simplicable
What is the darkest color besides black?  It's considered the darkest material known to man. What's really revolutionary about this Vantablack is that it's a color the human eye has never seen before. The "blacker than black" material, which absorbs all but 0.035 percent of visual light, looks more like a black hole on Earth.
What color is black skin?  Dark skin is a type of human skin color that are rich in melanin pigments, especially eumelanin. People with very dark skin are often referred to as "black people", although this usage can be ambiguous in some countries where it is also used to specifically refer to different ethnic groups or populations.
What is hypocrisy?
Hypocrisy is the contrivance of a false appearance of virtue or goodness, while concealing real character or inclinations, especially with respect to religious and moral beliefs; hence, in a general sense, hypocrisy may involve dissimulation, pretense, or a sham.
Could it be that in our quest for equality we are further admitting our differences.  Could it be that at a deeper level our celebration of a difference is the fundamental root of our belief system?
Is being hypocritical a sin?  Most assuredly, hypocrisy is a sin in the sense that all immoral acts are sins. A hypocrite professes to have a certain moral standard but then in practice ignores that moral norm. Only a person who claims to have a moral code can be a hypocrite. ... Many religions consider any sex outside of marriage a sin.
Why is everybody a hypocrite?
In his book Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind, Kurzban asserts that the human mind consists of many specialized units, which do not always work together seamlessly. When this harmony breaks down, people often develop contradictory beliefs."
If so then how are we to deal with race?  Race relations and equality.  After all, in order to be fair... should we not celebrate others skin colors?    
What is a desegregation?
Desegregation is the process of ending the separation of two groups, usually referring to races. Desegregation is typically measured by the index of dissimilarity allowing researchers to determine whether desegregation efforts are having impact on the settlement patterns of various groups.  Now does this not makes sense?  No more black and white.  No more everything in between.  Instead on people with difference that help make the great thing we are.
Humanity.
