A Supreme Race?

Why sre mortal beings still so ignorant despite education easily avilable throughout the world?

For any race to consider it supreme, it must be very much better than all the rest of mankind, every individual ofthat race. Should there be even just one individual who is lower in intelligence, less capable than anyone of the human race, weaker financially, spiritually, emotionally or physically, then that race is just like any other race throughout the world, no more supreme than the worst of us.

Yet, in this 21st century, certain portions of the Malays, especially the politicians, claim supremacy over any other race, if not throughout the world, at least in Malaysia. Yet, in the very same breath, these proponents of supremacy demand special rights for their race, using its weaker financial situation as its excuse to be given better opportunities to improve themselves financially.

Looks like these people have not or forgotten that in history, the Japanese and the Germans had once considered themselves the supreme races and had wanted to conquer the world so that the  so-called less sipreme beings of humankind would be under their rule. The world proved them wrong. And in 2018, the supremacy group of politicians under UMNO was defeaated in that year's election, to be replaced with less arrogant, more inclusive politicians from another coalition.

Even with their failure to be supreme, they continued with their superiority rhetoric on race and religion. They refused to realise that the only truly supreme being is God, that all humans are mere mortals with the possibility of mental and physical weaknesses. Some even believe God needs them to defend Him Some even talk as if there are God, putting forth words and thoughts with the implication it comes from God.

They do not understand that all humans are created or born equal. Born into this world where the idea of power has caused some humans to divide this world into countries and states, divided by immaginary lines on land,they came to be known as people of different races. So, the idea of countries, boundaries, states and race are just human creations. It has nothing to do with skin colour either as can be seen from India and its people. The Indians from the cooler North are fair-skinned while the Indians from the hotter South are darker, mainly due to the difference in climate. 

It is never God's intention to divide the human race. Neither was it His intention to have a particular race more superior than any other. It is more of the lust for power that cause this desire for supremacy. We are are humans created with different talents to fulfill the needs of this world. Let us all face this reality.
