We Are All Black: A Treatise on Racism: Humanism Series
()
About this ebook
“If origin defines race, then we are all Africans – we are all black. No matter how fascinatingly white one’s skin is, or how classy one’s accent of English is, the fact remains, the whole of humanity comes from the land of Africa. It is the cradle of our species.”
In this scientific literature, the celebrated Scientist Abhijit Naskar makes a humanitarian attempt with his sharp insight of the molecular realm of the mind, to unite all of humanity with the thread of biological oneness. This is a treatise of biological sciences that makes humanism triumph over the primordial evil of racial discrimination.
In “We Are All Black” Naskar makes us delve deep into the neural domain of the human mind, to recognize the innate biological seeds of Racism, and empowers us to make more effective and conscientious efforts to terminate this primitive evil from the human society. We emerge from this spell-binding odyssey of science and philosophy with one sole conviction, that we are all humans coming from Africa.

––––––––
A treatise in the domain of science and philosophy, that attempts to make a resolving biological analysis of humanity’s one of the most disgraceful characteristic stains, and come up with a civilized means to march ahead in the path of unified progress, can never be the work of one scientist or philosopher. Here, I – Naskar is merely the end product of centuries of rigorous neuroscientific, paleoanthropological, and humanistic endeavors. And the minds that I owe the most in my pursuit of unifying humanity as one species, are as follows.
Leo Tolstoy - the greatest and the most rational Christian that I know of.
Charles Darwin - the greatest scientific product of his time.
Martin Luther King Jr. – the man who redefined what it is like to be human.
Michael A. Persinger – the scientist without whom Naskar would have never met the world of Neuroscience.
Now there was another man, who molded a childish mind into an excessively curious one – his name was Gadadhar Chatterjee. Without this man, I’d have remained a rat in the race. Without this man, Naskar would have never been truly awakened from the deep sleep of ancient ignorance and mysticism. He didn’t have even the basic literacy to understand the English alphabets, yet to me he was The Philosopher of All Philosophers, and the Thinker of All Thinkers.
CHAPTER I
Our Motherland Africa
––––––––
If origin defines race, then we are all Africans – we are all black. No matter how fascinatingly white one’s skin is, or how classy one’s accent of English is, the fact remains, the whole of humanity comes from the land of Africa. It is the cradle of our species. It is the glorious womb in which we evolved. Biologically speaking, there is only original race of humans in this world, and that is African. And once the whole human population realizes this simple paleoanthropological fact, there would no longer remain any such disgraceful phenomenon as Racism. We all are basically a little better looking African Apes.
Imagine, a Chinese immigrant couple settles happily in America. They become American citizens and eventually have a baby there, who is technically born and raised as an American citizen. He (could be she too) grows up to be a brilliant physicist at the New York City College. Now, even though this brilliant scientist is hailed by the society, for sociological purposes, as an American citizen, the fact remains, that his origin lies in China. Now turn this into a global phenomenon of the whole species. Every single human being may sociologically be hailed as some sort of national citizen, but the origin of all humans on earth goes back to one specific land – the land of Africa. Thus, in the eye of a genuine human, there is only race that exists in human society, which is the human race. American or not, Canadian or not, Australian or not, Asian or not - before anything else, you are a human first.
Our species Homo sapiens evolved around 200,000 years ago in Africa and then migrated to various corners of the world. Over time the color of the skin began to differ among all those scattered humans, as they started to adapt to their vividly different environmental conditions. Thus, differences in skin color and physique simply reflect adaptation to different environments. It does not get any simpler than this. Saying that some members of humanity are superior to some other members, simply because of the color of their skin, is the same as discriminating between two daughters of the same mother simply because one is blonde and the other is brunette.
If not as a true human, let me tell you as a Biologist, color of the skin does not define an individual’s intelligence – it does not define an individual’s ambitions - it does not define an individual’s dreams – and above all, it does not define an individual’s character. It is character that should be the sole measure of judgement in the society of thinking humanity, and nothing short of that would do.
Biologically speaking, we the humans evolved from the same African ancestors that gave rise to the gorilla and the chimpanzee. The gorillas and the chimpanzees can be hailed as lesser species, for all sorts of empirical reasons. Let’s just say, the chimpanzees don’t even know that they are called chimpanzees, nor the gorillas know that they are termed as gorillas by the humans! This is enough reason for even the lay person to recognize that they are not as superior as the humans. But when a portion of
