13. Is it really about what color you are?

...or is it really about power and it's misuse over human beings? An interesting study was done on the social ordering of a dysfunctional baboon colony in the wilds of Africa that was dominated by Alpha type baboon males.

The Alphas made life hell in the colony, full of violence, rape, and infanticide as the Alphas did their social Darwin thing trying to implant their Alpha genes into the colony's genetic legacy by rape and murder.

Then one day something happened, the Alpha males discovered some raw meat. They consumed it and in typical Alpha male fashion, took all of it for themselves.

Well surprise! That meat was infected with tuberculosis and ALL the Alpha males died. Within hours, the colony returned to a peaceful state of harmony, like the Alphas were never there at all.

There's a message here for the entire human race, and its not about color.
