In the 80’s, one of Micheal Jackson's top hit was the song ' Black or White '. The spirit of the song is noble. Unfortunately, human history has been laden with skin colour division, particularly after the 10th Century AD. The rise of Western Europe further promoted white superiority to an unprecedented level. One of the lowest point in human history was during the slave trade period. Today, it is still a big deal being black or white. Even Micheal himself eventually succumbed and chose to be permanently ‘ white ’.
Not for the animals. Black is indeed beautiful. Black Swan is rare. I jumped with joy when I spotted one at the Eco Park of the resort. It was stunning and graceful in the pool, prompting me to take these shots.
All men are born equal in the eyes of God...it is humans that segregate each other according to caste and other 'guidelines'. Where Malaysia is concerned, it was the divide and rule concept which gave rise to inequality and common mistrust among one another. Look at Melaka in the 15th century...people from different races and religions co-existed in total harmony. Every changed when the so-called colonial masters came along with their divide and rule concept.
