Some people sure need a check up from the neck up. Mind you, not all people. Just a few people . Maybe they live a cross the street or in some neighbourhood. But some people are strange ! They are afraid of colours ! Why ? Looks like they live in a black and white world, a hangover I suppose from black and white films or black and white tv. Probably have their dreams in black and white and nightmare too. Pity. I prefer colours the way God made them. The world is so rich with variety and I don't like narrow minded folk trying to mess up God's Creation. The black and white world that some people live in is so dull and depressing nobody can be happy in it.

Look at the colours of the rainbow. Red,orange ,yellow, green,blue,indigo and violet.Look at the blue sky,the white of the crest of the waves, the different sea birds and what about the coral life in the ocean ?

Imagine going into a restaurant or a cafe and ordering your favourite meal and it is served with no colour ? No colours of well cooked favourite meal ,no aroma no nothing.

Some folk want to dull the senses of life by sticking labels of good and bad on certain colours. Now that goes on both sides. Some people want whites to hate blacks and others want blacks to hate white.

Why do some people want to call some people white and others black and others red or yellow ?

There is no such thing as black man a white man or red man or a yellow man.

Now some may think different but they need to change their thinking and change their attitude and put away their pride and petty prejudices.

Just try this little experiment of curiosity to cure petty prejudices. Please don't be mad at me for shattering an ancient delusion of racial prejudices! It's just that I like to shatter and break every form of ungodly prejudices because they have no place on planet earth !

People are people ! Humans are humans. A person is a person ! A man is born to be a man and a woman is born to be a woman ! Labels of hatred demonize people and to demonize people is not good ! Why then to some people still hate certain people ? Wrong parental upbringing and prejudiced parental teaching ? Prejudiced school teaching? Peer pressure ? False society values ?

If you look closely those that are supposed to white are not really white and those who are black are not really black. Go on try it.Take a white person and let them stand against a totally white background and take a photo of them. Well, what do you know ? You can see them against the white background ! They not pure white ! They have some colour in them !

Now take a black person and let them stand against a totally black background and take a photo of them . Well, what do you see ? A black wall ? No ! You can see the person clearly because they aint really black, are they ?

So why do people call some people black and call others white ?

Labels! People like to think in terms of black and white and that is wrong. Racism is wrong. There is good and bad in everyone. We all have the same colour flesh and bones and all bleed red blood.Why then are we afraid of each other ? Old age fear and prejudice ! Wrong teachings ! Wrong moral values !

All men are equal and "... we believe all men and women are created equal...". Read the USA Constitution. Read your Bible and pray and repent and change your attiude if it needs changing.If not , you are a saint !
