* Racism Is Colorless 

No matter who practices and believes it, racism is evil at it's root.

 This is not an indictment of any race, color, nationality or person in particular - we are all in this together. I opt to turn distressing news into art and chose white as today's keyword to shine a light on my own implication in our species collective racist behavior. 

When skin color differences, disease, human evolution, and even genetic traits are scientifically examined, not one characteristic, or even a single gene distinguishes all members of one race from another. One by one, our myths about race—

including “natural” superiority and inferiority—

should become extinct.
But alas, .....

Proud to be color-blind,

RFW

* John Krasinki's A Quiet Place served as the wickedly scary inspiration of today's volume-deprived
Transmission. I know I was late to the party, but if you have not seen this yet - do it tonight! Our coda is the end-title OST selection All Together Now by Marco Beltrami.
