"Multi-racial Supremacy"
By Belenios Ategnatos

Belenios Ategnatos It is strange that one-race people can imagine that they are somehow superior. It is illogical and lacks common sense. A person with only one race in his or her heritage is inherently and by definition in-bred. This is on a large scale, so it does not have the extreme risks of close, incestuous inbreeding, but it is still an inbreeding.

The Multi-racial person is, in contrast, more closely related to a much greater portion of humanity. He or she has a wider gene pool behind him or her. This means the possibility of a greater variety of beneficial genes that provide different kinds of good qualities, such as intelligence, strength, stamina, immunity, etc.

In the social realm, we have more relatives. We have closer kinship to more humans, because we are kin to more than one grouping. We can move among more people, different peoples, and still be among our own people.

Mentally, it is so much easier to say "I am human, and all people are my people." because we cannot be told that "this and only this is your people, and everyone else is other." And when the in-bred racist whose heritage is one of those we have says, "You are not my kind, because you are part foreign," all we need to do is laugh. We are his kind, but we are also more than his kind. If we remain attached to our particular peoples, still our attachment is to more humans, to a wider group of humans. All humans are humans, however, and with a less-narrow perspective to begin with, it is easier to recognize the bonds among all.

There is a word, "eugenics". What does it mean? Most literally, "good (eu-) breeding (genic)". It has acquired a negative popular meaning, because some people have used it as an excuse to either eliminate or sterilize those considered likely to perpetuate what someone thought was undesirable traits in their potential offspring. But that is a distortion, to say the least. Actually, real good breeding is obviously a "good" thing. In my opinion, the best long-term good breeding (eugenics) for humanity will be served if there is BOTH (1) ethnic/racial inbreeding, which will ensure the preservation of any good qualities in that grouping AND (2) interbreeding among groups, with some of the multiracial offspring marrying back into one of the inbred groups, thus preventing that inbreeding from making the group totally alien from other groups. It is necessary for there to be mixing of gene pools to prevent negative traits, that is to say, weaknesses, from becoming predominant, by reinforcing each other.

The most beautiful thing about this reality is that it requires no special effort, EXCEPT to maintain the freedom of people to breed outside their group when they wish to. People are most often attracted to their own group, satisfying item (1), but people also are known to fall in love or even just lust, with people from other groups (fuelling many examples of the finest literature in the world), satisfying item (2). When a tribe, caste, clan or race enforces rigid endogamy (marriage only within the group), they enforce inbreeding and harm themselves in the long run, whatever their motivation may be for their rule.

Sometimes the inbred ones say that people should not interbreed, because it is disloyal to their culture. This is nothing but amusing, because they, in the USA and other modern countries where people are likely to say such things, are not being loyal to the cultures of their ancestors. They are actually most often only being loyal to "cultures" controlled by the businessmen of the music and clothing-fashion industries. Maybe they make some concession to their heritage a few days a year at, maybe, the Highland Games, or Kwanzaa as the case may be.

We, the multiracial humans, are the superior breed. We have the heritage of more great peoples, cultures, sages, and kings in our bodies. Our very existence prevents the division of humankind into little inbred groups. And our mating, no matter whom with, strengthens the human gene pool by passing on good and dominant genes from one group to another. Our loves and lusts fuel the future. We are the ties that bind the human family together. And our existence is the result of love and lust that itself was powerful enough to look beyond the boundaries of racial groupings. This, at least, is becoming less of an obstacle, since many younger people no longer see race a serious factor in the acceptability of a mating.

And yet, what is the body in the end, no matter how inbred or interbred, when compared to the beauty of life, consciousness, and happiness? Every being, sooner or later, will transcend the narrow limits of attachment to body and matter, and understand that all life is kin in reality. We who are not tied to one little group of humans are already at an advantage, a step ahead that we do not need to overcome. In short we have fewer limits to transcend.

This subject of multi-raciality, however, is inherently material and physical. Any advantages in terms of spirituality are simply material conditions more favorable to spirituality, not spiritual in themselves.

The true eugenics of humanity requires both mostly distinct genetic lines (ie "races") and mixture between them, to prevent crippling inbreeding, and to prevent the fracturing of humanity.

Genetically, mentally, and in the spiritual quest, the multi-racial are superior, and the glory and the strength and the future of humanity! It is not that our "group" is superior to other groups, as such, but that our group IS the other groups brought together. Know this, be proud and know that everyone is our family, to be loved and cared for. Ours is the supremacy of love and connection, not of hatred and division; of justice among peoples, not of exploitation and terror. (Ours is the supremacy of perception of oneness, and of perception of difference for what it is: little onenesses within the greater oneness.)
