For one,
I kindly ask that this NOT be taken out of context in a way that largely endangers the safety of myself and/or whichever human sentient others..,
Okay..,
For example,
My perceptions are trying to communicate,
That I presently think(?) I feel that:
Throughout our collective and/or individual history,
(Which we may just have been negatively affected by UNIQUELY),
Such as resulting in,
Having lower self-esteem,
Significantly as a result,
Of somehow seeing people in power that appear as a separate group than our own (such as on TV or wherever in the mass media of readily available screens..),
So..(for example),
If this is largely the circumstance(s) that many (if not all) of us appear to frequently encounter,
How must we function more equally..(?),
Without (for example),
Narcissistically seeking “vengeance” because of how our present perceptions tell us that “we” (or “I”) have been emotionally/psychologically “wronged”..?
For example:
Will angrily judging those who “appear” to have it “easier” help to reduce dangerous tribalistic division..?
Will judging others based on their surface appearance help unite a racially diverse working class against a brutally racially diverse power structure..?
Will judging others largely based on their surface appearance help us safely inclusively adapt to a changing planet..?
Will psychologically equating anyone with certain others (and/or their ancestors or whoever they’re somehow “related” to within whichever context..) because of their physical surface appearance help reduce the extent in which we judge others by “the color of their skin”..?
For example,
(because they look the “same” (or similar)),
Will judging anyone as the “same” as the person we see on TV be increasing the extent to which we compassionately judge others by the “content of their character” INSTEAD of angrily judging them by their physical surface appearance (such as skin color)..?
I feel the obvious answer to that last above question is “NO!!!!!!!”,
Yet,
May humans learn to inclusively peacefully work together without repeating more horrific history in new NOR different forms,
And regardless of that,
In whichever ways that may work for whoever,
I just hope us humans can (and actually) REDUCE the extent(s) to which we may brutally judge each other,

And I (therefore) ALSO have a dream,
To NOT feel severely IRreparably painfully judged,
By what those did,
Might presently be doing or trying to brutally fulfill,
who I just may look like and/or however be “related” to and/or assumed to be “connected” to..,
Assuming I got the link right and NO tech-savvy individuals try to (for whichever reason(s)) embarrass and/or somehow kill my reputation,
Here’s that video/mini slideshow excerpt of what I regard as inspiration once again:

Thanks for reading,
I hope this empathetically helpfully made sense
