6. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all humans could turn our skins inside out?

No one would know what our true skin color would be. We would ALL look identical to each other.

In the scheme of things we are ALL human and our evolution depends upon us all getting past the skin issue. Otherwise we can never realize or care to recognize that we are here to learn to love one another.

Isn't this one of the greatest lessons in life?

Ah well, perhaps sometime in the future we can move past this bitter idea that one race is better than another.

Thank you FrenchieCat for bringing this to our attentions
