"Racism" - «Le racisme»

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 07 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous)



As I “socially distance” in the woods, I think about the “Black Lives Matter” demonstrations across the world.

It is my opinion that “racism” is a malevolent social concept, which is embedded in our societies as a result of ignorance. In biological and genetic terms there is only one race of humans and we are all members of it. There is no rational evidence to indicate otherwise.

When I was young, I was taught at school that the British were members of a superior race that brought civilisation to the rest of the world. Remnants of this attitude remain today, and anyone who has a skin colour which is different to the white colour of the majority of British people, suffer from this type of “racism”. It is not true that white British people are superior to anyone else, there is no evidence to support this idea. Equally, white British are not inferior to anyone else. Individually we all have our strengths and weaknesses, but they do not make up a collective whole.

The sooner everyone is educated to believe that we are all part of the same race, the better. Human relationships can then be based on rights rather than prejudice.

If schools and parents are unable or unwilling to educate you about “race”, then you owe it to yourself to do so and you can start here.

Pensées dans Darrick Wood par Trevor Morgan 07 juin mai 2020

Alors que je me «distancie socialement» dans les bois, je pense aux manifestations «Black Lives Matter» à travers le monde. Je pense que le «racisme» est un concept social malveillant, qui est ancré dans nos sociétés en raison de l'ignorance. En termes biologiques et génétiques, il n'y a qu'une seule race humaine et nous en sommes tous membres. Il n'y a aucune preuve rationnelle pour indiquer le contraire.

Quand j'étais jeune, on m'a enseigné à l'école que les Britanniques étaient membres d'une race supérieure qui a amené la civilisation dans le reste du monde. Des vestiges de cette attitude subsistent aujourd'hui, et quiconque a une couleur de peau différente de la couleur blanche de la majorité des Britanniques souffre de ce type de «racisme». Il n'est pas vrai que les Britanniques blancs soient supérieurs à quiconque, il n'y a aucune preuve pour soutenir cette idée. De même, les Britanniques blancs ne sont inférieurs à personne d'autre. Individuellement, nous avons tous nos forces et nos faiblesses, mais elles ne constituent pas un tout collectif.

Plus tôt tout le monde sera éduqué à croire que nous faisons tous partie de la même race, mieux ce sera. Les relations humaines peuvent alors être fondées sur des droits plutôt que sur des préjugés.

Si les écoles et les parents ne peuvent pas ou ne veulent pas vous renseigner sur la «race», vous vous devez de le faire et vous pouvez commencer ici.

I'm taking a break - Je vais me reposer un moment

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 24 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) I am now finding that writing a daily blog is becoming more of a chore than a pleasure and that it is becoming harder to think of new ideas. I shall therefore be taking a rest for a while.

The Voyager Golden Record - Le disque d'Or de Voyager

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 18 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) Will alien civilisations find us? It is possible that aliens will receive radio and television signals, which have been broadcast within the last century, or so. The aliens would have to be relatively close, nearer than 200 light years. They would have to send a message back and that would take 100 years assuming that the aliens had the ability and desire to talk to us. All this sounds very unlikely. The is another possibility: the 2 Voyager spacecraft launched to observe the outer planets of the solar system, in 1977, are now in interstellar space. Both spacecraft contain “time capsules” with messages and audio-visual images of the way of life on earth. The “time capsules” were in fact phonographic records engraved onto gold plated copper discs which could last for billions of years. Both spacecraft are now in interstellar space, but they are not even 1 light day from the earth. In abou...

Spontaneity

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 23 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) For me, a social life needs some spontaneity. I like to walk in Darrick Wood whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, my wife and I decide to walk through the woods but then continue to the village of Downe. In Downe, we often used to stop in the “Queen’s Head” pub and drink a pint of the best kept beer in London and have lunch. This was great, but these days it seems so far away. On 4th of July the government is proposing that pubs should be allowed to re-open under social distancing rules. It looks like we will be asked to book our slot in the pub in advance. This means strolling to a timetable; none of the spontaneity, of going for a long walk in the country and stopping off for a drink, will remain. I am in two minds about this. Yes, the economy needs to be protected as should pub life, but does this mean that I must book in for a pint? Booking in is ok to go to a restaurant for a formal meal b...
