I've explained elsewhere in the blog that there is a spiritual symbolism of black and white that is played out in the drama of human racism.
A lot of media tries to peddle that white is pure and black is marred, or white is good and black is evil. This is not the case. They are merely different, and neither could exist without the other, for the one defines the other. But they war and dance anyway as if it matters, like the yin and the yang that chase each other.
Spiritual white has held supremacy for so long that it has become almost an unstoppable empire. It has been able to write a narrative that has been unquestioned by most that makes black seem evil. But black is not evil, it is merely the counter. In fact, by being such a dominant power, spiritual white treads the line of evil more, even though because of its dominance it can fool us into believing otherwise. (Evil is as evil does, not what evil looks like.)
Neither white nor black by nature are evil. It is only by being out of balance that either side may tread evilness. And then reflections show up from the spiritual reality to the human nature.
Pressing the court for moral purity may have started as a noble pursuit, but quickly turned evil. The Letter kills the Spirit. Let people find their own happiness. Just love yourself and love others. It really is that simple.
Balance needs to be restored. Not for black to triumph over white, but for both spiritual powers to coexist in harmony; for all human races to coexist in harmony.
From wikipedia: Apartheid (South African English: /əˈpɑːrteɪd/; Afrikaans: [aˈpartɦɛit], segregation; lit. "aparthood") was a system of institutionalised racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia) from 1948 until the early 1990s.[note 1] Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap (or white supremacy), which ensured that South Africa was dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's minority white population.[4] According to this system of social stratification, white citizens had the highest status, followed by Asians and Coloureds, then black Africans.[4] The economic legacy and social effects of apartheid continue to the present day.[5][6][7]
Broadly speaking, apartheid was delineated into petty apartheid, which entailed the segregation of public facilities and social events, and grand apartheid, which dictated housing and employment opportunities by race.[8] Prior to the 1940s, some aspects of apartheid had already emerged in the form of minority rule by white South Africans and the socially enforced separation of black Africans from other races, which later extended to pass laws and land apportionment.[9][10] Apartheid was adopted as a formal policy by the South African government after the ascension of the National Party (NP) during the 1948 general elections.[11]
