There is only one primary racial design in modern homo sapiens

Dear Editor:

Racial titles are based on historical birthplaces or current occupied country --- Native Americans, Irish American, African American, Japanese American, German American, Spanish American, Mexican American, etc. Sometimes people use the color of skin as a definer – black skin, yellow skin, white skin, and red skin. We ignore the fact that all skin color is from melanin one source flowing through our bodies. If you have more flowing it is to protect you from the sun.

Light color skin only means you have less melanin flowing through your body. It does not mean you are a different enhanced human species. There have been a number of twins born where one has light skin and blue eyes and the other has darker skin and brown eyes, yet they are twins.

Since we have seen these twins with our own eyes, it’s mind boggling why someone calls themselves a white supremacist. Does that mean one twin is a white supremacist and the other is a black supremacist? Both are human beings born from the same fertilized egg and both have beautiful faces, eyes of curiosity that will be with them throughout life.

Usually when humans declare they are better than another person, they do so because they are jealous of other humans. Definition of jealousy, is jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. To state out loud to the public that you have the highest IQ, or greatest value in society, or are a supremacist can mean you are insecure with those titles because if the title was accurate it would be self-evident.

Not too long ago a beautiful famous Caucasian woman decided to change the color of her skin by injecting more melanin. The white skin woman wanted to become a black skin woman. She is not alone as others have begun doing the same. Like the white supremacist, I do not understand why people like to change their skin color, hair color, or decorate their body with painted tattoos. Skin color alone does not make us supreme humans.
